I firmly believe the team soured on him and noped out when he had the chance to fall on the sword in that 10-3 Pats loss, and he didn't do it. That told them he isn't Franchise QB material because the Franchise QB ALWAYS falls on the sword in defeat. No matter how he played.
Since having the QB1 job snatched from him the first time, he's said and done all the right things, but he did not play well and I am fairly certain when he's in the huddle his teammates are all


. I think Wilson and Elijah Moore are outstanding players but it got to the point where -- as straight a shooter as Garrett is -- it almost felt like they'd rather lose with good stats than win with bad stats.
Nobody in that building believes in him -- and my philosophy is that if nothing else, you start the QB that the rest of the team will rally behind and fight harder for, talent be damned because at the end of the day, any numbers he puts up are reliant on every one executing around him -- and the coaching he needs for his development is not in the building.
