That’s what NBC Sports’ Chris Simms sees, anyway. The analyst put Stidham at No. 35 in his latest quarterback rankings, but still offered a rather strong endorsement of the second-year Patriot.
“First off, I loved (Stidham) coming out of college,” Simms said. “I saw a lot of him in preseason last year, and loved the way he looked. Really, when you look at him, there’s nothing to say or look at him physically and go, ‘Oh, there’s a weakness to his football game.’ He reminds me a little of Tony Romo. He’s a very pure thrower of the football.
