When the Patriots realized they were running out of options for the Jimmy Garoppolo situation they found themselves in, ultimately dealing him away to the West Coast back at the trade deadline, I was sad. I felt a mix of emotions. I got all my feelings out by writing a piece about it.
When New England drafted Garoppolo in 2014, everyone assumed he was the next franchise quarterback of the Patriots. The next Tom Brady. The next handsome guy throwing touchdowns passes at Gillette Stadium. The next quarterback that New Englanders treated as if he was God himself.
