In 2016, Garoppolo has completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 502 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions for the Patriots over the course of six games.
I think summarily moving Garoppolo is foolish. And Bill Belichick is not the type of guy to do something foolish.
Tom Brady, as great as he is, turns 40 in August. In Garoppolo, you have a young quarterback who is making peanuts. He's currently in the third year of his four-year rookie contract and made just $686,718 in 2016. Plus, he's been in the system and has played well in limited opportunities. Remember, Brady was a sixth-round selection, number 199 overall. Taking a long-term chance on that kind of player is not unusual in Foxboro. And finally, if there's a possibility you already have the QB-of-the-future on your roster, a couple of draft picks aren't going to equal his value.
