With Brady Gone, Who Will Be the Next Patriots Starting Quarterback?

[The Q]

17 mil isn't unreasonable for a starting veteran QB, at all.

but with Brady’s cap space there that’s 30m for the position. I doubt they want to do that.

Yeah, but 30 mil at the position isn't terrible. I hear you, though. Maybe give Stidham a season to see what he has. Then, spend on somebody next season if he doesn't work out.

i keep having more and more of a feeling that the pats sign jameis, its just a hunch, nothing to it. probably wont happen.

Watch BB trade for trubs, send a 4th to chicago.......

If he gets Winston they probably are still the afce favorite.

Pats sign hoyer

I could see them trading for Mitch to compete with Stidham before signing Jameis. I don't think we would get a 4th, though. I also envision them signing Dalton over Winston.

I don't know... Winston just comes off like an air head. I have a hard time envisioning him being a BB guy. If anyone could shape him up, though? It's them.

Jeff Hughes is a Bears insider whose been on top of a lot of stories before they've broken and is saying the Bears have been actively shopping Mitch for weeks.

i was joking about mitch until i typed it, i could see it. I could see BB taking a shot just because jameis has the tools, and well its BB

I;m in the dark like everybody else.
My guess is we are ready to start Stidham over mortgaging our future.

Now if a vet QB wants a prove it deal? Who knows.
Very likely looking at a QB in the draft not getting a lot of buzz? But would BB start him?
Could Winston be of any value in mentoring a draft pick? Doubtful.
Could red rifle put up a decent effort and get out of the way in the playoffs? History says no.

I dunno r they really ready to hand it to a 4th rounder? Maybe.... but I think bb ego says he needs to do very well this year.... I see some type of vet. Or a crazy draft move

Pats sign hoyer

This would be great and make for an angry BB...

 

[Southieinnc]

This would be great and make for an angry BB...

"Of course, Hoyer’s second stint with the Patriots ended in his release during last year’s preseason when the team chose Stidham over him as Brady’s backup, so there is past indication the team likes the second-year passer over the veteran. Stidham spoke highly of his time with Hoyer as a training camp mentor."


Hoyer getting $1 million as a mentor.....

 

[sonnyblack65]

He is like Bruce Banner, don't want to see him angry

 

[Oldschool739]

Sure that makes sense . Take a QB who will be 37 this year who had 27 tds vs a guy who will still be only 23 and accounted for 43 tds. I would take the unanoimous MVP and youngest Heisman winner in a heartbeat in NE. Kid is a leader and team rallies around him, and you can have the other guy

You would be planning on him staying healthy and effective, I don't...And with the deck stacked as we had it last postseason and to watch 8 Ball fold like a dollar store lawn chair for the second time in as many tries, Don't you think AR with his experience and talent would have taken that team farther and even the SB ?..... I do !!!

 

[HaroldSeattle]

With Brady gone, who will be the next Patriots starting quarterback?


Derek Carr?

Andy Dalton?

Cam Newton?



Jarrett Stidham?

Jameis Winston?

Stidham still is too raw and I don't see them trading for a QB. So that leaves:

Dalton ( only if he gets released which seems likely)
Newton
Winston

I'd bet on Dalton. Pats just waiting on the Bengals to cut him.

Possible rumblings of the Pats looking into Deshawn Watson.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Brian Hoyer's agent claims his client will be given a chance to earn the Patriots' starting job.
Hoyer's 2020 salary — only $1 million from the Patriots and $2 million in possible incentives — begs to differ. Hoyer will get another $1 million from the Colts. If Hoyer starts, it would be with tanking in mind. We highly doubt that will end up Bill Belichick's approach. The Pats still have many avenues to upgrade their quarterback room, and they should be fully expected to do so.

Paying him 1 million doesn't look like they have a whole lot of faith in him as a starter, but QBs like to hear that even if they know it's just a line teams throw out at FA QBs.

 

[RobBase]

I’m terrified the Lions somehow trade the Pats the 3rd pick for their 6th and 7th rounders and they take Tua ahead of Miami.

 

[GNG]

I think they stick with Stidham for 2020

I believe you are right. Hoyer was signed only as a backup.

 

[GNG]

They need to go back to the basics. It would be prudent to use a new QB. The Brady situation has not allowed QB or WR development, lately, and that’s on him. I think Brady is great, but also am glad he is gone. New blood is needed in NE. Been a Patriot fan since 1976. Enough is enough. Love the team and will stick around post Brady.

Belichick will find a way to win.
