And that's because Sean Payne's really good at his job.

Stidham's a solid quarterback.

And because the system is generally kind of QB agnostic.

There's also plenty of worlds where Stidham walks in, takes four sacks, throws two picks, and they lose because he's a backup quarterback playing in the AFC championship game, right?

The book on Knicks will not be written and there'll not be a period in pen at the end of it because of one, maybe two games in the 2025-26 postseason.

He's switching championships.

Broncos fans have already found a tweet of mine from 2019 where I was like, I don't really like Stidham very much.

I don't even remember sending this tweet and they found it.

They're fired up.

And this has been the joke since his Auburn days when he came out.

His Auburn production, his Auburn film wasn't even that great.

And then he was coming out in the draft process.

And all coaches and scouts were talking about it.

Like, man, you watch this kid throw.

Like your practices, like, you know, pro day.

Man, ball comes off his hand real clean.

And we were all like, yeah.

The games aren't good.

The games are not going well.

As he goes middle round, he is a really classic backup quarterback mold in the sense that a practice that looks beautiful.
