There has been too much talk about under inflated footballs. The ruling by Judge Richard Berman to vacate New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady's 4 game suspension might not actually help the Patriots in the short run. Jimmy Garoppolo was to take over at QB if Tom Brady was to miss the first 4 games. Garoppolo played the first 3 games this preseason with 61 completions on 80 attempts, 554 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, while Brady had 10 completions on 22 attempts, 107 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. So now here comes Brady to start game 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What I saw from preseason is that Garoppolo looks like he is ready to start, while Tom Brady was not playing like Tom Brady. Garoppolo let the Patriots fans breathe again as he proved his talents as a starting QB. Despite the suspension being nullified for Brady, there is still a lot more court ahead of him as the NFL challenges the ruling by Judge Berman. The off the field issue has clearly been a distraction for the 4 time Superbowl champion Tom Brady. Should the Patriots take a closer look at their QB's? Is it time for change?
