Patriots fans should not care what Jarrett Stidham is up to right now.
It’s alright, Patriots media. We understand the inclination. After all, you spent an entire spring and most of the summer attempting to do mental gymnastics to justify resting the team’s two-decade contention streak on the right arm of Jarrett Stidham, an inconsistent second-year fourth-rounder.
It made little-to-no sense, but the Pats seemed prepared to do it, so you had to gush all summer long about how the coaching staff “really liked” everything they were seeing in the locker room actually, and Stidham had the kind of lunch-pail attitude that could theoretically blossom just enough in a “Do Your Job” locker room.
