Bill Belichick Laughed When Someone Asked if Tom Brady's Job Was in Jeopardy

Bill Belichick was asked about the “Tom Brady situation” after the 3-time Super Bowl winner was terrible in a 41-14 shellacking at the hands of the Chiefs. Belichick scowled and then shared a laugh with the press when a reporter asked “Will the quarterback situation be evaluated?”

It was quite a moment.

Tom Brady has not been good this season. To be fair, neither have the New England Patriots. Things seemed to culminate last night in a 27-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Brady wasn’t good by any metric, fumbled twice and threw two picks. In fact, Brady’s numbers look much better than they should because of some missed tackles on a short pass that Brandon LaFell turned into a 44-yard touchdown.

Rookie backup Jimmy Garoppolo came in late and went 6-for-7 for 70 yards and a touchdown. If this was any number of other teams, there might be a quarterback controversy, but Tom Brady is an American institution. No matter how badly he plays at 37-years old. The truth is, the Patriots aren’t that good and even if they did have someone who could complete a pass downfield, they would probably still stink.
