    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

      More than that, he, not unlike most analysts who view the game from the peripheral, opposed to actually being in it or at least understanding all its nuances (because to not do so earns them a career boot - not so with writers), he judges players strictly on results. Fact is, he doesn't know...

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

      Waldman comes across as very genuine and studious, lot of effort, but his is still just an opinion. Consider that 3 years ago he thought Gabbert was the best QB, then two years later he admitted what he got wrong - ah, didn't consider that   I trust the NEP put in more effort.   He's a good...

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

      I was wrong about Gabbert for two major reasons: I didn’t factor his pocket issues with enough weight because I saw examples contrary to the popular opinion about is jitters – especially as a sophomore.    Possibly now overcompensating for the miss

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    The Brady's have to be worth 9 figures by now; Knowing what we now know about concussions and eggplants, I wouldn't be totally shocked if he declared 'out' if given a particularly mean concussion, then and there. ~~shiver~~

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

      He was projected to be 3rd on depth chart, then TB went down so he became 2nd. Then Gutierrez was re-signed. I'd claim that that clusterphuck hardly disproves my point, but you're right - O'C did play in two games so it can't be argued that he wasn't being relied on by BB. But still....

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    He has struck out on many draft picks. He hasn't been wrong on those relied upon to start if need be, which as TBs only backup, Mallet was.

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    He did ok with Testaverde too, and Brady. Gotta give the man his props, he hasn't struck out on a QB yet. I think that says tons about TB's primary backup the past few years.

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    I meant a similar version to Collins, like Garcia who you mention. A seasoned pro.

      Collins was brought in before the season as insurance if PM couldn't start the season. Polian tried to prepare but Collins wound up playing poorly.

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

      True. trying to check the QB depth for both teams and must have had the 08 Colts up. Point still stands though: Our QB depth was nothing to brag about, and any of us would have preferred Collins starting over Cassell once TB went down.

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

      That's a pretty insulting statement by BB, based solely on hindsight.. Sorgi was thought to be basically Cassell and they picked up Collins. And had Orlovsky. How is that not being better prepared than 2008? BB is right that his team didn't crash that year, but it's not because of the team's...

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    I'm coming around to     I've come around; That makes perfect sense. My assumption that Mallett is as good as gone because Garoppolo was drafted high makes less sense when proper depth is considered. For that matter there's something to be said about the risk BB took having just 2 QB's on the...

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    I don't particularly agree with this. He has been trained now for 3 years in the Pats system; he knows how old TFB is and of the cracks that appeared in his game last year. In what world would Mallett suppose the grass is greener elsewhere? If he's quality the job is his way before his 30th bday.

    RD7/#244 - Jeremy Gallon, WR, Michigan

    'Elite speed'. Wow, reads as a faster, more athletic Wes (Julian) . Possibly Brady's new binkee.

    RD2/#62 - Brady's Heir to the Throne

    What of Mallett? Why has this guy been our only backup if a raw Garoppolo will now be signed as competition? Or, otherwise, why trade Mallett - which the Garoppolo pick seems to support - when the apparent confidence in him (the only backup to TFB) suggests he's better than we think?   What...
