Agreed. We've seen other players go to other systems and thrive. Only time will tell. In the meantime, I think we're going with Garoppolo myself as the backup, but we'll see.
I don't see the reasoning in bringing in a vet if they don't know the system, but that's just my opinion.
As I said in the next post, I'm not saying he won't be the backup, just that he won't be the only other QB on the roster,like the Brady Huard situation.
BB quote on the backup in 2001. Just weeks later, Brady advances over Huard, while Huard stays as his backup. Had Bledsoe not got hurt, Huard would likely have been the backup for the year.
Damon Huard, meanwhile, has been the unquestioned No. 2 quarterback of the Patriots for about a month. There's a reason why, Patriots' coach Bill Belichick said.
"Damon has shown that he can go and win in the National Football League," Belichick said. "Tom (Brady) and Michael (Bishop) haven't had that opportunity, but they haven't put themselves at that level yet. To me, that's what separates Damon from the other guys."
