Ever since filling in for an injured Drew Bledsoe in 2001 and subsequently leading the New England Patriots to their first Super Bowl win, Tom Brady had been undisputed as the team’s starting quarterback. Over the almost two decades since, he has helped the Patriots establish the most impressive dynasty in NFL history and himself as the greatest to ever play his position. Replacing a man of this stature and quality is a near-impossible task, and yet one New England will face in 2020.
With Brady having left the Patriots in free agency to take his talents to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team will have to find a new starting quarterback.
