Share this: The New England Patriots’ Week 4 matchup with the Buffalo Bills still is a week away, which gives quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett valuable time to heal. But what if injuries to Garoppolo’s shoulder and Brissett’s thumb don’t allow them to take the field next Sunday against the Bills? “Signing another quarterback is regarded, as I’m told, a last resort for the Patriots because, No. 1 they don’t want to have to cut somebody to create a roster spot for a quarterback, but No. 2 they actually would prefer to go with a Julian Edelman, even though he hasn’t played quarterback since college, because he knows the offense inside and out,” ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported on “Sunday Night Football”. “You

Ex-Patriots Exec: Jimmy Garoppolo Throws Vertical Better Than Tom Brady
New England Patriots fans can be a sensitive bunch when it comes to Tom Brady. It’s certainly admirable to see New Englanders support their favorite quarterback, but in turn, every critique of Brady is blown out of proportion. It’s almost impossible to make a less-than complimentary observation about TB12. Former Patriots assistant to the coach staff — and Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns general manager — Michael Lombardi did just that while discussing Jimmy Garoppolo, New England’s starter until Brady returns from a four-game suspension, on the Ringer’s “Bill Simmons Podcast”. “I’ve been fortunate enough, I’ve watched pract...

What Injuries To Rob Gronkowski, Patriots Linemen Mean For Jimmy Garoppolo
by Zack Cox on Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 10:09PM 1,786 Share this: Jimmy Garoppolo’s first true NFL test just got a whole lot more difficult. The New England Patriots quarterback, who’s set to start the first regular-season game of his career Sunday night against the Arizona Cardinals, now will be forced to do so without his starting left tackle (Nate Solder), a player who likely would have started at right guard if healthy (Jonathan Cooper) and arguably the league’s most dangerous offensive threat (Rob Gronkowski). Solder, Cooper and Gronkowski all officially have been ruled out for Sunday’s season opener, further hamstringing a Patriots offense that already was without suspended superstar signal-caller Tom Brady. How will these developments change New England’s game plan against an Arizona defense
Kurt Warner Isn’t Buying Tom Brady-Jimmy Garoppolo Rift Rumors, And Here’s Why
Share this: Much has been made about the supposed rift between Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo. Brady, the pundits say, doesn’t want to help Garoppolo because the New England Patriots quarterback job will be the superstar’s again after he returns from his four-game Deflategate suspension. Kurt Warner, a Super Bowl-winning QB himself, doesn’t believe that. The NFL Network analyst told NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava on this week’s “Between the Tackles” podcast that while Brady is a competitor and wants every rep he can get, he ultimately would like Garoppolo to succeed and position the Patriots for a Super Bowl run. “I just believe, knowing Tom, that he’s going to do everything he can to help Jimmy,” Warner said. “Not necessarily being selfish, I think

As Tom Brady Debuts, Jimmy Garoppolo Shows He Still Has Ways To Go
by Zack Cox on Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 11:41PM 1,517 Though he completed just three of his nine passes, Tom Brady looked cool, calm and collected Friday night in his first game action of the 2016 preseason. He appeared at ease despite his long layoff, showing the sort of poise New England Patriots fans have come to expect from one of the NFL’s premier quarterbacks. The same could not be said about Jimmy Garoppolo. After promising performances against the New Orleans Saints and Chic... NESN.com
