Careful, that could be Ernie or Berj, the Armenian enforcer.I forget if this guy is someone who changed his username. Sounds like a Pats stooge/schill
Assuming this happened (I haven't heard of this, and haven't seen anything suggesting it), it would be a shot in the dark, at best, from Belichick. Given the market for QBs, Don Yee would have been committing malpractice to recommend Garoppolo sign anything that didn't guarantee him at least the franchise tag number.3. BB gave Garoppolo a 7.5 mil 2018 contract to stay like a retainer, and since Brady and Jimmy had the same agent, Brady knew about this.

Jimmy G looks like hot garbage. A game manager with no ceiling..
hope Mac is way better than that
BB going with the status quo (Caserio and whoever else) with regards to personnel in the back half of the 2010s. He can say we sold out cap wise to continue the run as long as we could but had the drafting been there the talent would’ve have dried up so quickly.
Credit to BB for the changes made this offseason. It’s early but the draft results look more promising than in recent years.
Oh look! Here he is again!Where's the option of hiring the wrong offensive coordinator in 2005.

SMH.. The revisionist history is astounding.
The Patriots went to 8straight AFC Championships. They won 5 of those 8. 4 of the 5 wins took place from 2014-2019. During that time, they won 3 of the 5 Super Bowls. So, that back half of the 2010s accounted for HALF of the SB rings BB has earned with the Pats. This idea of yours that the "talent dried up so quickly" isn't actually supported by fact.
You're also forgetting the draft picks that were stolen because of the FALSE accusations by the COLTS known as "DeflateGate". And you're ignoring that winning those SBs and being in 8 consecutive AFC Championships put the Pats drafting in the bottom 4 picks of the draft for 8 consecutive years. If you don't think that had an affect on the talent available to them, I don't know what to tell you..
The Patriots hated the talent in the 2017 draft so much, that they traded away their 1st and 3rd round picks for Brandin Cooks. They traded away their 2nd round pick for Kony Ealy and a 3rd. And lastly they traded a 5th round pick of James O'Shaughnessy and a 6th round pick. They 3rd and 6th round picks also ended up getting traded.
There were no "changes" this off-season except that a lot of dead money came off the books. And BB mentioned this already.
