Solving for Garoppolo

First Adam Schefter was sure he'd be traded for a 1st round pick. Now he's sure he'll stay a Patriot for 2017.

So, nothing's really changed, has it?

Thinking The Unthinkable

Would Bill Belichick trade Tom Brady?

I guess another way to put that question would be...

Could that ever be the best thing for the team?

The Quarterback Non-Controversy

Maybe it’s just that everyone has been so jealous of Tom Brady for so long they’d like to believe he’s actually jealous of someone else.

I’m looking at you Jimmy G!

The First Quarto of Jimmy G

Maybe I am a cockeyed optimist (uh, no) but I think Jimmy G is going to be just fine and so, then, will the New England Patriots be in 2016.

I’ve got my reasons…

Jimmying to Conclusions

I don’t know what Mike Mayock saw the other day but whatever the opposite of “popping” is, Mallett is doing it right now before my very eyes. Ryan Mallett isn’t justifying his backup role for the Patriots let alone laying the groundwork for a starting gig with another team. I can’t help wondering. Is Garoppolo really that bad? Maybe he’s a bad practice/good game kind of guy? No?

I wrote that during halftime of the Patriots preseason game in Washington.

This is going to be a bad week to be Ryan Mallett.
