Browns reportedly back in on Jimmy Garoppolo

[SteelersPride]

True story- he was also better than the #1 pick. Low end cheap bridge starter is about commensurate for a 3rd rounder. In hindsight the Browns were more right than wrong.

meh

 

[Rock Strongo]

Minny gave up a future first, not a first that a team could use for the present season. Big difference. The difference between the Browns offering #12 or a 2018 1st rounder.

now do the other 2 examples.

 

[flyingelvis]

Besides the Browns, do we believe any other team would give up a first for Jimmy G, right now?

Houston.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Houston.

I'd bet they'd rather spend money on Romo and draft a Pat Mahomes behind him than Jimmy G.

Not for two firsts they dont

no, but maybe a sweet package of a first, a future first or 2nd?

I think it's all talk......Pat's would be foolish to trade away this guy for the simple fact Brady is older and year to year approach now....

I think he stays here and is given the reigns in 2018.

A 1st and 4th I might see a team swallow some pride for as Jimmy G has generally looked good, but beyond that is theft. If Jimmy G had played more games I'd be more open to the idea. Tough to convince me Romo/draftpick isn't a superior choice to either of your proposed options so long as Romo dangles about.

Yeah, Tom hasn't said what he's planning after this season,
If he comes back after 2017 I think FO ask's him to take a pay cut, then we will see who has the reigns in 2018.

Brady did say that 2017 will not be his last season.

Tom Brady says he has 10 years left, wants to dominate NFL until 2025

 

[flyingelvis]

I'd say the Pats are going to need to be blown away on an offer, otherwise keep him. Give them 2017 insurance in case Brady goes down or finally gets old.

If Brady is still sharp, then well you settle for the 2019 3rd round comp pick worst case.

Well there you go, problem solved!

ok, i'll try...

romo cant finish a season
hes an injury and season ending risk
hes nearly 37
hes broken

jimmy is 25

has proven, even in limited sample sizes, that he can play and make smart decisions. if he doesnt get hurt im miami, he has 300 yards by halftime. maybe 450-500 for the game. is he an injury risk too? not sure...the way his shoulder was handled was iffy, but again...hes 25 and has tremendous upside. romo is 37 and we know what he is.

if im a GM, i take jimmys potential and a 10 year run over a season or 2 of romo for ticket sales.

And then you put in your draftpick, cut Romo, and move about your day. This 10 year window isn't mutually exclusive between a draftpick and Jimmy G.

it just pushes the window 3-4 years down the road, because thats what guys like watson and the kid from NC are. 3 year projects, like...jimmy was.

would you rather gamble in the draft, or take a guy whos highly regarded by a team that just won 2 out of the last 3 SB's, and who has learned from the greatest QB and coach of all time?

The former.

 

[eaglesnut]

now do the other 2 examples.

Ok when the dinosaurs traded the other dinosaurs back in the Triassic... Rob Johnson? Are you fucking serious? And how did that work out for them?
