Where did I say that I hated the Patriots? I'm a 43 year old Pats fan, who used to go to Sullivan Stadium on a yearly basis to see games. Not for nothing, but from the comments I see they make it seem like they're coming from Brady fans, and not necessarily Pats fans. You know, Pink hats.
I honestly believe the Pats could have continued this run with Garoppolo, as long as Bill Belichick was the head coach. To me, Bill is the key to this whole thing. I'm sorry, but Brady not falling off a cliff performance wise for the remainder of the rest of his 2-3 year career seems riskier than Garoppolo not being able to enjoy continued team success for the next 8-10 years. Keeping Brady just seems too short sighted, especially when they had an heir apparent, which is so hard to come by.
