I think it is more about this than whether he sees it or processes it. Stidham never looked comfortable in the offense. I don't know if that was because Chip and Gus were clashing, and he was uncomfortable with how they would each handle situations. It was just pre-season, but he has looked fantastic in the NFL and is Brady's backup. You don't get that spot if you cannot recognize and understand simple concepts like "run the hot route to an uncovered receiver."
