Their third? Fuck that shit. Their two isn't worth giving him up for.
prefer top of the 2nd to snag a qb of the future
I don't know that, but I'll take my chances with him over any QB in this draft.
Regardless of that, the security he provides this year adds more to this team than 33 does.
Do you really believe that if Brady went down...Mallet is going to take this team to the playoffs/superbowl? This isn't 2008. This offense is young. 3 second year WR's.
Mallet has never played a down with the first team offense. That for a QB in his fourth year with a team speaks volumes about where he really stands with the head coach. A trade to Houston for their 3rd round and possible a 5th or 6th is certainly worth the move. The Patriots have their sights set on a quarterback they want to start grooming to take over for Brady in three years and if necessary have ready to move in immediately if circumstances dictate.
If the trade is made, I expect that Belichick will trade out of the first round with the Raiders or Falcons or Buccaneers and move down 5,6, or 7 positions and get and extra 4th or 5th round pick.
This deal will be announced when the Texans are on the clock for the pick they're trading.
If Belichick trades out the first round pick, then Mallett is going to Houston.
He doesn't need to be able to be to be worth keeping. He just needs to be able to keep us in the hunt for a short term Brady injury.
It speaks to Brady being Brady and wanting every snap. We have turned down a second in the past and should do it again.
No one offered us a 2nd before. The Browns who were interested in trading for Mallet last year did Not have a 2nd round pick.
Bill O'Brien used to be the Patriots Offensive Coordinator. He knows Mallett and worked with him when he was rookie QB. I go to the Pats training camp several times every year and Mallett has a cannon for a right arm. I watched him set up in the end zone and launch several 65 yard throws with almost no effort. He was throwing at a yellow blanket on the other side of the 50 and never hit it. That's been his problem......inaccurate......O'Brien may have something in mind. One thing for sure, the Texans do not have a QB and they sent Shaub to Oakland.
Does O'Brien get Mallett or does he go searching the NFL for a has been or scrap heap QB and try to have that guy break in a rookie??
