You're seriously reaching when you try to pull out a positive performance from Garropolo...

It takes seriously reaching to find positive things from Monday night's offense...

Also, funerals, 9/11 victim ceremonies, and while your neighbors house is burning down are typically bad times for jokes.

Week #4 of the 2014 season as well.

Your comparing these tragedies to football... really?

The OP was making some fun... may be time for a Fresca.

.. but you can take any 3rd string QB in the league, heck you could go grab Tebow out of an announcers booth and he'll complete passes between the 20's against a prevent defense.

Our starting QB couldn't seem to do it in the second half Monday night. Two picks, two fumbles. Let's hope the first quarter of the season has been an aberration and Garoppolo doesn't get anymore mop up opportunities in blow out losses.

Fellas we have a troll right now. Don't feed the troll that can't understand the context of the situation.

Mods, time to go to the practice squad IMO.

What's so hard to understand the context? A rookie backup QB gets his first ever NFL experience (when most rookie's get their first experience -- in mop up duty). He made the most of his opportunity and played well. Nobody's trying to put him Canton, but it's a positive from an otherwise dismal game.

Would you rather have had him come in the game and suck?

Some of the responses to an obviously lighthearted post are over the top. You guys are all probably against end zone celebrations too.

The context is saying this guy did something Brady couldn't because the defense had changed. The score was different. The chiefs were specifically gonna play defense so no Brady comeback could be possible. Once they pull a starter you can lighten up on defense and let them drive the ball. Because at that point they aren't trying to win (pats) and they will drain the clock. Game over.

I am not saying garappolo couldn't be the new quarterback in a few years or he isn't gonna be good. He did well in his reps, but it was a blowout game.

I agree; as I said in another thread it took the #1 overall pick Andrew Luck to replace Peyton Manning when he left the Colts and posters on here think we are going to do it with a QB selected #62 overall. Yet we used the #48 pick on Tavon Wilson and we could not even get him to replace Steve Gregory, talk about some optimism.

*cough* 199 *cough*

Russell Wilson thinks you're funny

The context for me:

After sitting through 3.5 quarters of the game and watching a dreadful Pats offense stink up the joint, I was just happy to see a Patriot jog onto the field without twisting an ankle and ending up in a walking boot. I thought Garoppolo's performance was a positive. It's amusing that he is (for now), the highest rated QB in the NFL.

Of course Garoppolo's game the other night is a positive. Why wouldn't it be?

Forget about the yeah-but's, they are completely irrelevant unless you actually believe in the laughable notion that he's going to replace Brady as starter this year. All that matters is we now seem to have a legit NFL QB prospect on the roster, a talented kid who's a little raw but with tons of upside and who now has a track record that he can come in a game and do well not just in preseason but against players who are on an actual NFL roster.

Would you say that about Mallett? Hoyer? O'Connell? Kingsbury?

Our starting QB has an average of 2.15 seconds before his pocket collapsed.

What does his utterly worthless QBR have to do with anything while he's holding a clipboard?

Or are we making the case that we should humiliate the GOAT by benching him for a rookie, as thanks for all he's done for New England football, because he can't keep pass rushers at bay with his good looks?

Are you Tom's mother or something?

I don't bet...... But I can tell you that I will love watching the pats whether it's grogan or cavanaugh... Grogan or Eason.... Millen or hodson.... Bledsoe or Brady.... Brady or garoppolo..... Garoppolo or whoever

hwc, when I read your posts I cringe. It is so obvious that you literally know nothing about the game of football. I won't even go into detail about how it's absolutely ******ed to think the Pats were going to go into KC and sling the ball around with that crowd + our current O line while starting only 3 WRs who's names are Edelman, LaFell, and Amendola.

I don't mean to come off like a ****, but it's sad that you will always be a sucker for what the scripts of ESPN/NFL Network have to say.

I think we know who to trade for

I don't like you calling any of our young players a jag, Garopollo has done nothing to deserve that tag.

We'll see if Tom Brady can recover from an awful start to the season and hopefully he returns to the form that has made him the GOAT. He has not looked good so far when he has had time in the pocket and its becoming a little worrying for a lot of people. When you consider his age its even more worrying. A lot of people who have been dreading the moment that Tom Brady is no longer the starting QB for the New England Patriots are now very concerned. Belichick will bench him if he thinks its the right thing to do and that is why he is such a great coach. There is no room for sentiment in this game if you want to stay competitive.

We can only look forward, living in the past will get us nowhere. Hopefully though it doesn't come to that. We all hope that the OL gets sorted out and Tom Brady starts throwing the ball as well as he has done for so many years already.

Mohamed Sanu's is higher than Garappolo's.

I don't really appreciate being called "******ed" and if you don't want to come off as something, then don't...

Who said anything about going into Arrowhead and slinging the ball around? I figured the Pats would run, run, and run some more. It's pretty apparent the passing game is not their strength right now. I was shocked when they came out heaving the ball downfield on the second play of the game.

As for the scripts of ESPN, I wouldn't know. The only time I watch ESPN is the 3 hours and however many odd minutes it takes from kickoff to the finish of Sunday Night Football or when they have coverage of some other live event like a golf tournament. I won't even watch the pregame and I DVR skip through the halftime show. Zero. I don't think I've listened to an ESPN talking head in three or four years. Sorry to disappoint.

I get my football talk/analysis/entertainment from Sirius XM NFL radio. The last time I watched NFL network (again, outside of live games) was their coverage of the NFL draft. I do listen to several of their podcasts -- the Rich Eisen Show and the Around the League podcasts.

Like I said in the other thread, the sudden Brady hate going on here amidst the fan base is bothering me more than the loss. I seriously question the motivations of any Patriot fan who doesn't want Brady to ride into the sunset on his own terms, and if that is denied to him, I hope he kicks our asses for it.

Click to expand...

This Pats fan wants the best QB the Pats can put on the field, and if somewhere DOWN THE ROAD that means that Brady is out then that's how it should be. Just as it was when Bledsoe was replaced by Brady. The idea that the Pats should let Brady lead this team for as long as he wants no matter what his level of play may be is simply wrong.

If Tom Brady leaves I wish all of those well who leave with him.
