VIDEO: Bill Belichick laughs at question about benching Tom Brady

Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports

Tom Brady was replaced by backup Jimmy Garoppolo late in the New England Patriots' blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, but the three-time Super Bowl winner isn't in danger of losing his job.

Asked after the game if he'll consider evaluating his quarterback situation and naming a new starter, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick had this to say (or, rather, not say):

"Will the quarterback position be evaluated?" ... HAHA #Patriots #NewEngland

There's no denying the 37-year-old Brady has played poorly this season, but his leash is as long as any quarterback's. Things will have to go way downhill before rookie Garoppolo takes over.
