Tom Brady is leaving the job as starting quarterback for the New England Patriots. Who will receive the task to try and follow the G.O.A.T. in Week 1 when the Patriots take the field in 2020? Per Odd Shark.
Cody Kessler 33-1
Cody Kessler is with the New England Patriots. That has to be the only reason his name is on this list of candidates.
Joe Flacco 25-1
Joe Flacco has a Super Bowl pedigree. He also seems way beyond his prime.
Philip Rivers 14-1
The Patriots are looking to get younger at quarterback, it seems. Philip Rivers would accomplish that … barely.
Jimmy Garoppolo 10-1
Would the Patriots want Jimmy G back? And, if so, who would John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have in mind to replace a quarterback that led the Niners to the Super Bowl?
Nick Foles 9-1
Well, Nick Foles did beat Brady and the Patriots in a Super Bowl. That’s a huge plus. Last year in Jacksonville should have a line drawn through it, as in forget it happened.
Derek Carrr 15-2
Marcus Mariota isn’t the answer in Las Vegas. If Derek Carr goes to New England, Jon Gruden has to have his eyes on another starting quarterback for the Raiders.
Jameis Winston 7-1
Jameis Winston. If Tom Brady signs with the Bucs, this would be a bizarro trade of sorts. It also would expedite Bill Belichick’s exit from New England. There is no way he could stomach Mr. Inconsistent.
Andy Dalton 3-1
Andy Dalton brings the experience of a veteran. He also brings along zero playoff success.
Jarrett Stidham 3-2
He was the backup in 2019. Will Jarrett Stidham become the starter in 2020? Talk about stepping into big shoes.
