This isn't meant as an attack on Garoppolo or Brissett.
it's simply what I believe to be true. Namely, Garoppolo and Brissett were both drafted with the same goal in mind:
The Patriots took them specifically to fill the QB2 slot, with the hope—as opposed to the expectation—that they might be "the guy," if the unthinkable should happen.
Evidence: when they took Garoppolo, his contract didn't extend beyond Brady's. They drafted Brissett, whose contract will run until 2019. . . . the same year as Brady's.
I don't think the Patriots will be looking for "the guy" until they know Brady is in the last couple of years of his contract.
