Whoever becomes the New England Patriots’ next starting quarterback will face immense pressure.
Not only are Tom Brady’s six Super Bowl titles still fresh in the minds of Patriots fans as the future Hall of Famer operates the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense. New England also is coming off an underwhelming 7-9 season with Cam Newton at the helm.
Thus, as former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi explained Wednesday on WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni and Fauria,” one QB option perhaps makes the most sense for New England: Old friend Jimmy Garoppolo.
“This is why I think it is going to be so difficult and I think maybe (Garoppolo) is the way to go, because he’s been in New England before and played under Tom Brady and been in the stadium with all those banners to look up to and know he was somewhat part of it,” Bruschi said, as transcribed by WEEI.
