carex Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The Patriots are apparently looking for a first round pick for their backup QB Jimmy Garappolo. After Matt Cassel and to a lesser extent Ryan Mallet did nothing after departing New England why would anyone be willing to pay that price?

Busch1724 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Because who in this draft is worth a first round pick? Mallet didn't do anything worthwhile while in NE anyway. Cassel had a good year. Jimmy looked good at times. Most first round QBs don't work out anyway, at best a 50/50 proposition. If I'm a team with a mid to low end 1st round pick and do not have a worthwhile QB, why not roll the dice? Can a team like Denver wait until FA to sign Romo? Who knows, but if I'm Chicago, Jacksonville; why not take a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I'm a early first round team, I don't spend my pick on someone else's backup. Early first round means I've got more holes than QB and if I don't like any of the QBs there I pick another position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 carex, agree with you but most teams are quarterback crazy and do stupid stuff to find a quarterback. Most team's quarterbacks are backups for a reason, they're not behind a Tom Brady. I think some teams think through that lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandweave Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't think there is a team out there that's willing to give the Patriots a 1st round pick for Jimmy G. First off he did not look great last year, second Patriot backup QBs rarely show they are any good in new homes, and in his 3 year career he's only thrown 94 total passes so he's completely raw. If your a team looking only for a QB then even Tony Homo looks better to me then this guy. Jimmy even got injured last season so he may be fragile too. I'm not feeling this guy getting traded this year But what completely turns me off here is that Brady is 39 years old and that means the Patriots will need an heir apparent very soon (people are gonna be shocked when Brady retires next year) and if they are willing to trade Jimmy it means they must not think too highly of him to be able to take over down the line. He only is on the books for 1 million this season and they have a ton of cap space. Sucker is not born every day so I think this is pyrite.

TSO Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 @carex Not necessarily a big deal in this case since it's likely a rumor, but when you make a thread about something being reported it's proper ES practice to cite a source somewhere within the OP.

Warhead36 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I still don't get the hype over this guy. He's barely ever played. He'll be another Matt Cassel at best. It still amazes me how many moron GMs exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Matt Cassel and to a lesser extent Ryan Mallet did nothing after departing New England why would anyone be willing to pay that price? Because he isn't Matt Cassel. He was a legit prospect coming from college and he's looked like he's developing well in the preseason and impressed in action this year. Not that it's the end-all/be-all or anything, but BR laid out a case I basically agree with today. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2692738-the-hype-is-real-jimmy-garoppolo-worth-the-price-of-a-1st-round-draft-pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they really want to trade him, but this could be one of those belichek outsmarting himself things. He thinks he can fleece anyone at anytime. he's worth a 2nd, at best.

They're grooming their 3rd stringer to take the helm after TB12 retires. Jimmy G is expendable.

Voice_of_Reason Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 So Jimmy gets to ride pine for another year, minus either a) Brady getting hurt, B ) Goodell finding another reason to suspend Brady for no reason, or C) an unlikely trade during training camp when somebody's starter goes down. And if I'm not mistaken, he's in the last year of his contract. So next year he gets to hit the open market. Because the Pats are not going to franchise a backup QB.

I bet the Pats are going all in this year for one last title run, and will dump Brady in '18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
