Rumor: Ryan Mallett To The Browns?

I agree, but if it did I would understand why.

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.

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.

You and the Texans can put your heads together and try and come up with some more examples of successful backups who get traded and become franchise QBs.

QBs dont get traded alot, but theres plenty of QB's who change teams and are successful. Bret Favre was traded.

Brett Favre was also a forced draft pick. Jerry Glanville didn't want him, and was trying to get rid of him from day one. Hardly the best example.

So if Aaron Rodgers were traded he wouldnt be good anymore? I really dont know why being traded makes you horrible. Where are you going with this?

No, because Aaron Rodgers has played and proven his worth. Mallet has not.

He cant prove himself with the best QB of all time above him on the depth chart

I don't why you clowns all think because he's sitting behind the great Tom Brady that makes Mallett an amazing QB. Damon Huard, Hoyer, and Matt Cassell all did the same thing and when they've gotten their shot to start long term guess what? They've amounted to nothing. Sitting behind a great QB can't overcome God given talent of only being mediocre.

Aaron Rodgers was a 1st round pick, and many believed he should have gone #1 overall instead of Smith at the time of the draft. How does not compare to Mallett at all?? Mallett was considered "possibly" a first rounder, based on his skill-set, but dropped b/c of off-field issues. Really no comparison.

I wish everyone would read the thread before they shoot me down.

Ok, I never compared Mallett to Rodgers. Couch was pretty much saying illogically that Mallett would never be good because backups who are traded are never good. Dont let past failures dictate moves. Evaluate the player and if you dont think hes good based on that, so be it. Mallett in my estimation was more talented than any other QB in the 2011 draft and only fell because of off the field concerns which are not concerns anymore.
