Never. But Gap is replicating Brady's numbers. Either he's the 2nd coming of Brady or our CBs are Air dancers.
Fair point. But Garoppolo was as bad as these Bills QBs last year in the offseason. I think it highlights his fast improvement.

On Friday, quarterback Jimmy Garappolo did more of what he's been doing throughout all of training camp so far: struggling.
Patriots season ticket holders got to see a heavy dose of rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. They got just a small dose of what we've seen throughout training camp: struggles and inconsistency.
Someone needs to install a stopwatch in his head. He holds onto the ball far too long on a consistent basis, and ran into trouble again in 11-on-11 work where he was flushed from the pocket once, and "sacked" on the next play. It happened again during 11-on-11 red zone work at the end of practice, resulting in another sack.
The 2014 second-round pick went an underwhelming 1-for-9 with an interception in team drills. He would have completed two passes, were it not for a brutal drop by rookie wide receiver Derrick Johnson at the end of practice — a fitting end for two players who have struggled to this point in camp.

Down: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo
Mallett might look good because he’s being compared with Garoppolo, who has had a tough time adjusting to the NFL so far, which should come as no surprise. The rookie QB is coming out of FCS Eastern Illinois and a shotgun, timing-based offense. Garoppolo is holding onto the ball too long and throwing behind his receivers far too frequently, which is forcing drops and interceptions. The NFL game is moving too fast for Garoppolo, and he has to adjust accordingly.

I remember being at some of those practices. He looked terrible on the third team. It's exciting IMO that he's continued his preseason/regular season play this offseason. I'm not sure it's because of our secondary.
