Also this is his year one. Pats will take the risk with him IF they think he'll develop.
They'll need to be strongly motivated by a #1 and a #2 the next year.
I say this with the perhaps naive suspicion that both Brady and Garappolo would play for high backup qb wages in order to finish/start his career here.
The smart move here is keep JG under his rookie contract, franchise him next year & give him the starting role in 2018. This may well mean that they'll win fewer games in 2018 & the pink hats will go nuts, but this approach will almost assuredly result in more wins over the next 5 years.
Hoping Brady can maintain his current level of play for the next 5 years is a fairy tale.
