Quarterback has to literally be the hardest position to predict success for in the NFL. No matter how good the intangibles are or physical traits a QB may have, it's still a guessing game in the end whether it's via the draft, trade, or free agency. It's extremely rare for a good QB to hit free agency and it's almost just as hard to determine if a backup QB will be successful as a starter for another team. In the end, I would still just prefer to draft our own.

Peace!!!

I read a rumor suggesting that Josh McDaniels would require the team who signs him as head coach to trade for Garoppolo. Given the time McDaniels has had to work with Garoppolo this seems believable. In any event it may mean that this other team drives up Garoppolo's price - which is already borderline high for my tastes.

If he doesnt go where McDaniels goes, I wouls be even less interested in him.

A 6th or 7th, if we even have them. Why is this even being discussed in the context of giving up top draft picks in a year when we have enough top picks possibly to solidify the D in a draft deep in D?

People are wildly underrating this kids talent level. I understand not wanting to give a first for him. But 4th - 7th rounders? Give me a damn break. He was a legit 2nd round pick who's looked like a goodplayer in 3 pre-seasons and his only game action, He has gotten A+ coaching and development for 3 seasons.

I despise the 'well look at how NE QBs have done after leaving' argument.

Cassell and Hoyer have had career that far outshined their talent level because of how well they were developed. Ryan Mallet fell in the draft because hes a lazy moron.

There is so much more to Jimmy G than there was to Hoyer and Cassell. Their relative success should only highlight whats possible for Jimmy who has much more physical prowess.

When is Jimmy's Contract up? If NE thinks he is Brady's replacement no way would they trade him, and Brady is pushing 40- So if they are willing to give him up he must still have flaws that prevent them from thinking he is next in line which makes me not want to give up more than a 3rd for him.

I think many of the members of this forum loved Jimmy coming out (more for his Brady Quinn like looks lets be honest) But instead of having to invest at least a 1st rounder for him I really want to see what Kessler can do first.

I saw someone post about Cousins and Tyrod as well- If either hit the Market I doubt they would want to come here with teams like Denver and maybe the Texans going after them.

You know a player I'd rather trade for over Jimmy G is

Brett Hundley.

Talk about a guy who has produced during the pre-season and looked good whenever he got true game time.

He has played behind arguably the other best QB in the game and would cost a lot less.

More physically talented than Jimmy G is. I really liked him out of UCLA, and I think he's developed in Green Bay.

Would probably cost a 3rd and 6th or something like that.

I think he'd be a great player to come in and compete with Kessler and our rookie.

I'd rather sign Taylor, but if we can't sign him definitely would want Hundley over JG.
