Despite the uneven start to training camp, New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t worried.

“I think I’m going in the right way,” Garoppolo said Friday. “It’s a grind. You’re trying different things, trying new plays. You’re with new guys, and there’s a lot of variables that go into it. But as long as we’re learning and progressing, we’ll be all right.”

Garoppolo has thrown multiple interceptions a few practices this camp, and went just 14 of 36 during a team scrimmage on Friday, according to NESN. Those numbers provide a stark comparison to Garoppolo’s stats from his two starts in 2016 when he had 486 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Does he feel like he’s better in games than in practices?

“I don’t know what it is,” Garoppolo told reporters. “It just seems to work out that way.”

One should be leary when looking deep into training camp stats to form an opinion on a player, especially stats on 1-on-1’s or other light drills. But it’s difficult to argue that it’s somewhat worrisome when Garoppolo struggles in a full-contact scrimmage.

According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, Garoppolo has thrown seven interceptions in camp thus far, compared to just one apiece from Tom Brady and Jacoby Brissett.

Still, Garoppolo is not worrying over the mistakes in camp.

“I mean, you’re never happy about the incompletions, interceptions or anything like that,” Garoppolo said. “But, you know, it’s training camp. We’ll learn from those situations. We always go back, watch the film and just diagnose what happened and what we could do to fix that.”

Despite the rough start to camp, don’t expect Garoppolo talk to simmer down anytime soon. With his contract up after this season, he’ll still be one of the best players available come next offseason, if the Patriots make him available.
