Ryan Mallett's Deja Vu Preseason Performance
The key story coming out of the Patriots-Redskins preseason game one was the struggles of backup quarterback Ryan Mallett and the coronation of third-string quarterback and 2014 second-round draft pick Jimmy Garoppolo. In the instant analysis of social media Mallett was declared a bum who should be released immediately and Garoppolo is the obvious heir to Brady. While this may bear out, it is hard to base team decisions based on a single preseason game. The game and reaction stirred up memories from the past and reminded me of the 2008 preseason.
