REPORT: No Brady For Thursday Night Preseason Opener

Ian Logue

According to NFL Media's Mike Garafolo, it looks like Bill Belichick will sit veteran quarterback Tom Brady for their first exhibition game of the year, giving more reps to Garoppolo as he continues preparing to start the first four games of 2016.

Great...I'm wearing my new #12 hat anyway...and I think everybody else should buy one and do the same this season."To Hell With Goodell" should be the cry the entire season

Add Gronk and Edelman to the list of reported spectators.

Dude is 39 year olds. I am 100% okay with this.

No surprise to me...any of them. I wouldn't mind seeing High and Collins sit this one out, but somebody has to play, I suppose. Can't bench the whole team.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Trade him.

This! I'm a couple of years younger than Brady but I already feel like I might break playing horse with my 2 kids. I can't imagine what football will do to your body that this age.

Just don't get hurt out there, JG. It'd be a helluva challenge to scrape 2-2 with Brissett or a free agent left over.

That's a good idea for supporting him and the team without having any money going to the league. I'm just not a fan of that style of hat ( from what I can see). I wish he had more styles. How do you like it?

This feels like a no-brainer to me. Brady knows what he's doing and at his age could use the extra rest. Jimmy, on the other hand, needs all the reps he can get before the start of the season. He won't have the luxury of improving over the course of a full season. He needs to hit the ground running those four games, both for the team's sake and for his future earnings.

Drew Brees said yesterday that he was playing one series. I imagine if it's a 3 and out, he might be sent back in for a second series.

I hope they use the right paint.

Brees isn't playing at all anymore.

Hard to make the team if you aren't playing.

Damn, QB controversy before the preseason even starts

Maybe Kellerman was right?

So Brady isn't starting week 5?

Agreed...but I just don't want him playing too long behind the backup line, unless he's practicing handing the ball off...

Yeah, he's just a little bit ****y if you ask me...a few laps and some push-ups might be just what the doctor ordered...
