Manufactured drama so they can have a story for when they win it all again.
“They overcame their differences in the pursuit of a common goal” Tired of this shit. Aim for Brady’s knees - that could end the bullshit. |

I think they got a visual of Mahomes and decided it's best right now to get out.

If Kraft listened to Brady he deserves what he gets. Trading away the future QB because of a request by a 40 year old lion in winter is a horrible decision. But it explains why the trade was made because you know Bill would have traded Tom and kept Jimmy G.

I'm not in the know but I'm thinking Garappolo requested a trade because he wanted to be a starter and not sit behind the Golden boy another 3 years. Makes the most sense.

After being told no to Jimmy, BB laughed at him when Lynch tried to trade for Brady.

Or the pats didn't want to gamble with franchise and trade scenario or alternatively pay a backup QB 15-20M the next couple of years.

They should have kept both through the season and then Kraft sits down with Brady and tells him to retire on a high note and not with everyone remarking that he has no arm strength, a la Manning, And offer him a front office job. Then they start next year with Garropolo. That is far more consistent with their practice since Bill has been there. Brady and Kraft, though, appear to be good friends and that makes such decisions hard. |

Whether it was Brady or Garoppolo, the Patriots screwed up their QB situation. You either think Garoppolo is THE guy and you keep him or you don't and you trade him for the most you can get. The Patriots did neither.
They kept him just long enough to pass over the highest price and then rushed the process and got screwed. Some reporter said the New England didn't want to be mean and send Garoppolo to Cleveland so they took a lower offer from the 49ers. I find that hard to believe. |
