From the article

Stidham will likely start the game, get the reps with the starters early on, and then work with the twos throughout the remainder of the first half. Ehlinger will get the second half, and we may see this rotation flipped in Week 2... Stidham is making decent backup money and was Sean Payton's hand-picked backup when he first joined the team. It would take Ehlinger significantly outplaying him for this change to happen, at least in my opinion.

Stidham starts preseason game, likely retains QB2 role over Ehlinger.

Jarrett Stidham will start the preseason opener against the Falcons and get reps with the starters early in the first half, then work with the second-team offense throughout the remainder of the first half. He is competing with Sam Ehlinger for the QB2 role, though Head Coach Sean Payton has downplayed the competition, saying both quarterbacks are 'competing against the 31 other quarterbacks' and will get real game experience. Stidham is making decent backup money and was Payton's hand-picked backup when he first joined the team, making it unlikely Ehlinger would replace him unless he significantly outplays him.
