After 20 seasons, the Patriots are facing an uncertain future. Tom Brady started 283 games at quarterback for the franchise and for the first time since his injury in 2008 and suspension in 2016, they have to look elsewhere.
This time, though, it’s for the long run. As longtime Patriots fans know, finding a great quarterback isn’t easy. Here’s a look at the 14 men who helmed the position for the 20 years before Brady came along.
Steve Grogan
Before there was Tom, there was Steve. Grogan played in the NFL for 16 seasons, all of them in a Patriots uniform. He started 135 games for the team over that time, throwing 182 touchdowns and … wait for it … 208 interceptions.
