    A 2nd rounder is the rumor. Go to 9-11. The game was at Zona with Jimmy G & 1 starting Lineman/ than Miami. Gumbardi opened the train doors back than. Robert Kraft & his Henchman our on the clock at seasons end. Some call Jimmy a system QB. Hell, our QB system is flushing out 3 QB's every other weekend 🥷.

    Mike Lombotomy speaks.

    Garoppolo was drafted #62 (I believe).

    I'm always leery of Patriot backups being anointed as franchise quarterbacks.

    Lombotomy.....hahahaha......

    Hoyer? Mallett? Cassel?

    Come to think of it.....has a NE backup QB ever left and been a star elsewhere?.....

  • CBS SPORTS Writer Jared Dubin reports that Hue Jackson and the Browns Front Office will likely offer Belicheck and the Patriots a trade for Garoppolo before draft day 2017.

    Lombardi says Garoppolo is at the top of Hue's list with AJ McCarron second.

    In my opinion this is the way to go! I'm not sure about the quarterbacks who've declared and I watch college football way more than the pros.

    The Browns need a pass rush and should draft the best players available. If Myles Garrett is the BPA then pull the trigger and start rebuilding the defense now!

    Hmmm AJ McCarron is Hue's #2 choice to go after in the off season and RG3 was his first choice this season!?!?!?

    Garoppolo is a perfect fit for the Browns. He

    got hurt in his second start.

    He doesnt count(or fit the mold Im casting)....😉.....he was just a failed first rounder, more than some obscure backup.....(heisman winner too, right?)....

    Not only that, it was a few decades ago. And you're right - he was a Heisman Trophy winner.

    But, here we come with the first overall pick. The reason I wanted to bring up a QB like Plunkett is a fan base as well as a FO/Coaching Staff doesn't always peg a young QB in a bad setting accurately right off the bat. If one ever reads Steve Young's auto-bio about life in NFL Hell down in Tampa, he was starting to believe his hands were too small to make it in the NFL. Drew Brees ended his 3rd NFL season after about 12 games or so on IR with Colt McCoy-like stats on the team with the worst NFL record. With the first pick of the next draft San Diego drafted Eli Manning (who told them not to draft him so they had to fuss and trade with NY to use their pick to select Philip Rivers a few slots later). Rivers held out all of training camp and Brees went on to make the Pro Bowl in his 4th NFL season.

    As we know, QBs don't get 4 years of patience in Cleveland. We're reading it's a possibility this franchise drafts an ACC QB with only 1 year of starting experience, which already concerns me. I don't think Trubisky sucks from what I've seen; but I also don't know what would project him all the way up to #1 overall. He's going to go from a playbook where he throws a lot of timing patterns to an area off of specified drops to reading progressions against complex defenses at the speed of the NFL game behind an offensive line already serial killing QBs that hold on to the ball too long.

    When we think about the success Dak Prescott has had in Dallas, there needed to be injuries to Tony Romo and Kellen Moore for Dak to even see the field. Then again, that organization has been building up its offensive line prior to adding Zeke to give him an elite running game to lean on so heighten play action perks. They also have an experienced WR Corps. Could other rookie QBs have been just as successful as Dak in that environment? IMO, yes.

    There's no more room for error with our 1st round picks so if we have the 1st overall pick - I'd hate to see us bullied into taking a QB at the expense of getting the pick of the litter at any other play maker position. I've followed this league a long time, and some years the supply and demand of 1st QBs just sucks. I'm not saying that's the case as much as I'm saying I'm worried my premature glance at it all is giving me a sick pit in my stomach.

    Cassel had a couple of good years in KC before he broke the speed of light falling off that cliff.

    I think is great finally a smart move when it comes the qb but as I said when it happens if we would kept hoyer and not taken dumb fuck little johnny we would of had possibly great players on the team but it's nice to see a good move for once

    I agree completely. I think mcarron is a better choice. Bill wins with smoke n mirrors. Marv gotta have better talent to coach.

    smoke and mirrors?

    HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!

    is there a magician's supply shop somewhere in NE Ohio cuz haslam should invest in it then.

    stupidest thing i've ever heard.

    every brown's fan wishes they could sniff the nut hair of the last guy to hold the lombardi trophy in NE.

    Yeah If it's a 2nd rounder for Jimmy G i'm all for it. He's only 24, plus it means we won't use one of our 2 first rounders on a QB, and address other needs like our DL, OL, S, CB, OLB, ILB, K, P...

    Tom, there hasn't been any room for error in our drafts for the last 10 years, but there were plenty of errors. 🙂 Just for a change, will you draft a super dooper star for a change? At worst, we're going to draft second, (will give us Garrett or Mitch), and another likely pick in the top 10, which will be for the side of the ball we don't take with the top pick.

    I positively hate the idea of trading for Garropolo. Bill rarely makes mistakes dumping players.

    Just read an article that basically said a trade for Garoppolo would "cost us a fortune". I don't think they got into specifics, but just the thought of giving up too much for a largely unproven guy makes me wanna vomit. If we get the next Matt Flynn, it would cripple us for YEARS.

    And we've BEEN crippled for years. I...just...can't....right now.

    Pip, Jimmy has the chance to jump on that and set us back another 5 years

    Can't see how, as it stands - he's going into the last year of his contract, after all.

    Problem is, he'll probably be looking for Osweiler status and money, and that was a stupid, stupid deal for Houston.

    Even Osweiler had shown more than Garrapolo by the end of their contracts. I really don't get this link and hope it's crap.

    Mike Lombardi is so useless, that if he were an Eskimo, he'd be set out to sea on floating piece of ice to die.

    It's what the Pats do... build up the player... the market takes care of itself. Brady's opening four-game suspension was a god send to this effort. Whatever Jimmy's contract demands end up being, they will not be NE's problem.

    I shit you not... NYJ's Petty is going to end up being an UFA target this off-season.

    I watched a good chunk of the NYJ-SF game yesterday and he grew in that game. His shared reaction with his OL to Powell's winning TD run at the end of that OT drive showed they have embraced him. He only threw one pass in that drive, but it was a 26-yard beauty. If you want a cold-weather QB whose throws can slice thru the wind, put Bryce on your list.

    Still a work in progress... you can still come away thinking his full name is "Petty short pass complete", if you read his play-by-play log... but he's growing. And now he's a winning, NFL QB.
