AFTER this season.
While I doubt many (any?) of us would take JG over TB there is that slight possibility. Just as important is what to do when you have two "Valid" options available.
Do we try for some kind of Montana/Young Favre/Rodgers scenario where we try to keep JG as the understudy for the next 2 years and if necessary longer? Including the possible salary complications of having to pay "starter QB money" to 2 guys. Keep in mind that JG would have to buy into that plan. Would 2 "alpha dog QBs" (ok an Alpha++++ and an Alpha) be able to have a constructive relationship? Would that scenario hurt the team in the locker room?
Or do we cash in JG for whatever value he has this offseason and roll with TB, with Brissett (or a TBD QB) as the post TB plan.
Finally if we try to cash in JG whats his value?
Tier 1 (1st Rounder or Starter or better caliber player)
Tier 2 (2nd or 3rd Rounder or Reserve player with promise)
Tier 3 (4th Rounder or lower)
Tier 1+ (2 1st Rounders or a 1 and a 2 or something else as ridiculous)
Tier 2+ (a 2nd or 3rd + Something else like another 2nd or a 5th)
Tier 3+ (2 4ths etc etc)
I know the Tiers are generic but chime in on how we think this plays out.
Is it possible to have the "Favre/Rodgers" plan?
Do we just let things playout (JG contract expires and we reevaluate then)?
What can we expect to get if we cash in on JGs flash of success if they choose that route?
For the record I do not think JG replaces Brady anytime soon. So I am of the opinion we cash him in this offseason. That said I do not think he would garner a "tier1" but a "tier 2" (or 2+) return might be possible this offseason. (my humble guess is a 3rd or maybe a 3rd and a 5th). I also think a big X in this equation is how Brissett handles himself these next couple weeks. Not necessarily in game, but in meetings. If the coaches feel there is "something" there then JG becomes more expendable. These 2 weeks gives the coaches a better perspective on if the Brissett they drafted and saw flashes of in the preseason (against scrubs) is a future real deal.
