While Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo were friendly and share the same agent, Brady didn't see it as his role to advise Garoppolo.

Similar dynamics have played out between Joe Montana and Steve Young as well as Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.

Brady didn't even want to advise Garoppolo on simple things such as footwork.

When Garoppolo played well in 2016 with Brady suspended, Bill Belichick began to see Garoppolo as the final piece of his legacy in being able to compete without Brady.

After Garoppolo was knocked out of his second start because of a shoulder injury, he set up a visit at TB12. When he arrived, the door was locked and they also wouldn't answer his calls. Two weeks after he showed up, Garoppolo was eventually treated after a high-ranking staffer of the Patriots inquired.
