If You Traded Garapolo

[Southieinnc]

Would you want Cleveland's #1?
Would you rather have a mid 1st and mid 2nd?
Cheaper to sign and keep?

Cleaveland's second first round pick. I believe it's #10. Next years first and throw in this years 2nd and 3rd round picks.

Did Green Bay trade Rodgers?

Cripes.

Waaaaaay too much to ask.

I'm going by what other teams gave up for QB's who haven't even played a down in the NFL. It's not too much.

Jeff Fisher doesn't coach in the NFL anymore. You're not getting two 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd for a guy who was taken in the 2nd round.

You'll get a 1st and a 3rd. Maybe a 5th or 6th rounder to go with them.

I'd take their 2nd #1 this year along with a 3rd or high 4th.
Then ask for the following years 1st but settle for their 2nd.

The thing that helps NE is a weak QB draft, a lot of teams looking for QBs and not a lot of quality FAs.
The thing that hurts them is the Oz fiasco. He was unproven, got paid and pretty much shat the bed.

Not to mention that mystique always trumps all. A super hyped up rookie who has never played in the NFL is always more attractive than a guy like JG who has already been unwrapped and driven off the lot. That's just the allure of big name rookies.

I clicked on this thread because the bears need a QB and I like Jimmy G.

Either way, my team has learned that trading multiple firsts for anyone is a dumb idea. If your asking price is 2 1sts, you may lose him for nothing after next year. I'd reluctantly give up a 1st and a 5th. New England makes QBs look much better than they really are and I think teams are realizing this.

Shizer from ND is the only for sure 1st rounder. Trubinsky from NC projects 1-3 round. Everyone else falls to 3rd or lower. Not a lot of shinny toys out there this year. Sure draft day hype could flip the projections as teams get cold feet. But Jimmy G to me looks as good if not better than all these kids. Plus he's learned behind Brady for four years.

I think you only get two firsts from Cleveland considering they have the extra first this year.

Tough year for teams looking to upgrade at QB and Oline.

Yeah, Cleveland might do it. You are right there. I would hope everyone in the NFL has learned from the jay cutler debacle of a trade though.

Shhhhhhh let them learn after this one

 

[BigKen]

New England gets Cleveland's two firsts. Belichick flips the first one for a lower first and a second. Flips that one for a 2018 1st and a 2nd and 4th. By the time he's done he'll have 2 1st, 4 2nd, 5 3rd, and will trade everything else for extra future picks. The Patriots will have 12 draft choices through all drafts through 2025.

Brady will retire after winning his 10 SB ring and will have thrown for 100,000 yards and 750 TDs.

 

[Southieinnc]

Kraft trades Jimmy for the City of Cleveland and the Browns franchise. Belichick retires from New England and signs for his triumphant return to Cleveland. Cleveland moves to Baltimore and trades for Garapollo. Following year the Patriots play the new Baltimore franchise....... Wait - this was ridiculous a long time ago - never mind.

I figure keep him... When Brady hits the wall, it won't be pretty, and that wall could very well be next season.

How?

I don't like it, Pats fans don't like it, Brady fans don't like it but the smart thing to do for the team......trade Brady.

Why? Ride him till the wheels fall off. Jimmy G has more upside in a trade, age, contract, not locked into a system.
Worst case Brisset steps in when Brady is no longer productive. That's not terrible from what he has shown us.
