Tom is game for what? He'd play QB for one dollar per year until he's dead - or at least until "he sucks", in his words. They are at least 3 years from Tom thinking he approaches anything approximating him "sucking". If the courts do what's right, and Tom Brady performs how one could reasonably expect him to, Jimmy Garoppolo will never start a game for the Patriots, period. Do the math. What's Chase Daniels contract look like? The Patriots are going to sign JG to that to sit behind TB? Come on.they are smart enough to do whatever they feel is right. they can restructure both at any moment. Tom is game. I feel Jimmy might be also. If he can carry the team he stays, period. They'll find a way to address timing, dont worry. Lets just see him play first.
They can't both "restructure at any moment", they just re-did Brady's deal so that can't be revisited for another year. And there is zero reason for the Patriots to revisit JG's deal.
I'm not worried. I think people in the JG corner are being naive about how the team sees him. He's a solid dude and a potential starter, and he will be here as long as it makes sense. That is next spring. He's not a time bomb ticking down on Tom Brady's time as starter. The "timing" argument is ******** made up by people who are overthinking the transition. If Tom is who we think he is - do you want to argue he is not? - then he is the best option for NE thru 2018/19, and maybe beyond. JG is just a more handsome and less white trashy version of Ryan Mallett. I wish him luck, but until he outplays Tom he can sit the **** down.
