Belichick uncharacteristically made a comment about something in the future:
"Tom will return as the starting quarterback when he comes back." Certainly unusual for Bill to talk about week 5 the first week of training camp, but his intentions are obvious.
I'll be rooting for Jimmy, and I am fundamentally incapable of rooting against the Pats. But I can't say that a 4-0 start, with JG performing brilliantly, wouldn't be just a tad of a distraction for the team, considering the nonsense the media would throw out there. But what am I saying, this team knows how to deal with that. Nevermind.
