New England Patriots’ fans are used to having their feathers ruffled (or, in this case, having their feathers ruffled and soaked in gasoline while they punt a lit candle at a local Chevron station) considering their team hits a controversial wall every now and then.
So quarterback Tom Brady being forced to take an extended four day vacation at the start of the season sucks chlamydia ridden deflated balls for fantasy owners who covet Mr. Gisele Bundchen as a top tier qb.
So, can his backup hold the fort while Brady bawls onto his shattered iPhone 6 screen?
Johnny Garoppolo had shown promise in his consistent 2014 preseason by impressively buying time in the pocket, so we know he just isn’t some dummy coach Bill Belichick has his hand crammed up by way of the backdoor. But that’s freaking preseason.
It’s been known that Pats’ offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has been running Garoppolo through read option plays that suit the young QB’s different “I’m definitely not Tom Brady” skill set, which can set him up for bigger hits. It all depends on if he can handle those hits or not.
Suckage level isn’t too high at this point, considering how Garoppolo fared last season, but that doesn’t include the fact that his name is so damn confusing to spell.
