1. Jimmy Garoppolo

First off, “Jimmy” is a real good first name for a quarterback. Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy. It works. Furthermore, the last name “Garoppolo” is fun to read, spell and speak. Last but not least, “Jimmy G” is an awesome nickname.

Malcolm Butler will lead NFL in interceptions

Garoppolo’s improved release time has been a major storyline developing during OTAs, as that was one area he struggled in as a freshman and a sophomore. Without a doubt, Garoppolo will have to get rid of the ball quick against a fierce Chandler Jones-led Arizona Cardinals pass rush in Week 1.

Ravens are cheaters, burn them at the stake

While Deflategate has been frustrating for all Patriots fans, try to look at the bright side: Garoppolo is going to get some great experience in those four games while Tom Brady is sidelined. Not only will he get confidence under his belt, but the Patriots will get a sufficient sample size from which to base their post-Brady quarterback decision off.
