    He has more upside than Weeden, and as I stated earlier, if Banner and Lombardi feel like hes worth a 3rd and a conditional next year or a 3rd and Rubin I wouldnt mind it.

    Oh yeah please elaborate. with a total of 4 passes and 1 int you can tell all that?

    I wonder if he still likes the white stuff, maybe we can spring on a couple 8 balls for a signing bonus.

    Well hes 5 years younger for 1. Mallett has had two years learning from the best in the game for 2. If we do trade for him, I would assume that Lombardi and his buddy Belichek had honest conversations about him long before Lombardi even thought hed work in the NFL again. Weedens biggest weakness's are the hardest ones to correct. Im not for bringing in Mallett but I will defend the idea of it, because I liked him coming out of Arkansas and think he can be great. We'll see what happens.

  • to many if's and maybe's for me.

  • Umm....colt and quinn are also younger. Means nothing.

    Matt cassel....remember him? Who'd he learn under?

    Lets not get into the coke habit for now....nothing youve suggested is performance related....merely intangible speculation. Weeden has more staering experience, and rapport with current players. Yet, giving up resources for an unknown is logical to you.

    Aye....

  • Pats fan here, I'm hesitant about trading Mallet. I think in five years he will be the best QB in the NFL, I don't think BB will let him go even for the #6 pick.

  • Like said before, the whole notion that backup QBs behind HOF QBs create HOF QBs is completely mythified. Look at Cassel, Flynn, etc.... Weeden is our best option at this point, and with the new, pro-field spreading offense Weeden can either show that he's worthy or a bust.

    different scenario, Mallet was selected at the top of the third round, and many viewed hi as a first round talent who slid.

  • Weeden slipped due to age.....mallet slipped cause hes a coke head.

    Whats the point? Still not better than weeden. Give me one decent QB tutored under brady that hasnt sucked?

    Give me one quarteback that had all the tools that tutored under Brady. Just because some undrafted guys and some 6th and 7th round picks didnt go on to light the world on fire says nothing about Mallett. He got caught with coke one time when he was 21, and didnt even go to rehab. That was a red flag a draft time, not 3 years and no more incidents later.

  • Drop it. It's not happening.

    Then you would have to agree with the proposition that if BB is willing to let him go, then that says that he ain't all that and the bag of chips you think he is, fair to say?

    And that would be a big red flag.....like May Day in Moscow...to use Bill Parcells words.

    No. For one reason, Brady has 3 years of football left in him and Mallett is going into the last year of his deal. Meaning if BB doesnt get something out of him now he loses him for nothing.

    or they extend his contract.

    i agree with your thoughts about mallet. but i also agree we can't afford to be giving anything away this coming draft. if belichick is dangling the kid out there to be traded then we should take a look. if not give weeds another year, if weeden sucks azz again, then pick him up when he walks from NE.

    with all the teams that need QBs, i doubt if he makes it past draft day w/o being traded. hell you got people looking at jamarcus russell.

    then again maybe mallet is comfortable holding a clip board?

  • Ryan Mallet is a dumpster-water redneck. He doesn't deserve a second of thought, much less multiple pages of a thread.

    I don't know who's worse: the person who came up with the dumb idea or the dumb people who keep entertaining it.

    Not really sure why you hate the guy so much but it only makes you look bad. Not really sure what makes him a redneck either, was it where he played college ball? Hes originally from Texas, the same state 9 out of 32 NFL starters are from. Im really intrigued by him, and think he has a really good shot of being a good QB in this league.

    Are you saying that he is a Mallethead? Maybe we can get him cheap? I wonder if the NFL has a coupon sale on backup QBs?

    Only way I would be for it is if Brady has 3 to 4 years or more left in him. Tom Brady is 35, he could easily play till he is 40, Mallet may not want to extend with the Pats if Brady is still here.

    I'm okay with looking bad; proposing the idea of trading away our first round pick for a guy who's done nothing in the NFL makes you look dumb.

    That is probably the worst idea tossed around here in a while. If the guy was the future of the Pats, Belichick wouldn't trade him. So either he's the future and untradeable or he's not and, in that case, we'll overpay for him.

    This infatuation with the backups of good QB's is stupid. Ask Kansas City or Seattle how it worked out for them.

    I know its a long thread but if youve read any of it I said I was against trading our 1st this year. And you'd also know my reasoning on why BB would trade him. You can look at a QB and tell if hes got the makeup of a good QB, and Cassell and Flynn did not. I think Ill ask the Texans how it worked out for them though.
