Jarrett Stidham: there will be some ‘growing pains’ but he's ‘got skills’

Former long-time Patriots assistant coach Dante Scarnecchia was on SiriusXM Monday and had this to say about Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham: “there’s going to be some growing pains — there’s no doubt about it. But the guys does have skills. He’s got a great mind.” (NESN)
Fantasy Impact:
The full quote from Scarnecchia was as such — “I will say this for Jarrett, too: he’s a bright kid, and he’s a guy that, when he doesn’t know, he’ll take off [downfield]. He showed that in the preseason last year that he’s got some skills…So there’s going to be some growing pains — there’s no doubt about it. But the guys does have skills. He’s got a great mind. He cares. He shows up early, goes home late. And I wish him nothing but the best…” Scarnecchia was with the Patriots for all of Tom Brady’s years with the team, so he probably knows a little about what it takes to be a great quarterback in the NFL. Until further notice, it’s Stidham’s job to lose in New England, and its likely he’ll be the starter Week 1 with veteran signal caller Brian Hoyer working as his backup.
