Tom Brady remains the starting quarterback for the Patriots but until he's eligible to play in Week 5 at Cleveland, New England is on to Garoppolo.
Head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, in their first public comments since Brady's four-game suspension for the January 2015 Deflategate incident was upheld, said they will keep the focus on the field, and that means preparing Jimmy Garoppolo to start Sept. 11 at Arizona.
