The Patriots have a problem that just about every other team in football would love: They have a talented young quarterback and a Hall of Famer in his way. Jimmy Garoppolo was magnificent in six quarters of action this season, upsetting the Cardinals in Arizona and slicing apart the Dolphins for a half before suffering a shoulder injury that is likely to keep him out Thursday night against the Texans. Even if he makes it back next week, Garoppolo is sure to give way the following week to Tom Brady, who will handle the starting duties the rest of the way barring injury or a remarkable decline in performance.
