Jimmy Garoppolo Speculation

Gip---You need a link to NFL.com?
You mean this article, where one NFL GM said McCarron, two said Romo, one said Cousins and the other said Davis Webb?

OK, well....everyone has an asshole....some have two....and everyone has an opinion...some have more than two.

Gip---I told what the article was about, who wrote it, and where to find it. Even TCPO was able to find it in a few minutes.
-
gftChris --- Wrong again. Of the 5 GM types polled McCarron was mentioned twice, more than any other QB. The trade cost was projected to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
I found it amusing how none of the GM's cast a single vote in favor of trading for Garappolo or drafting Trubisky.

Except Romo. I mean, are you really trying to sell us on AJ McCarron, franchise saviour? It's not like he's backing up Brady, if he were that good he'd beat out the red BB gun.

gftChris---Dalton just played in the Pro Bowl. Again.
Which doesn't count for much, to be honest. The amount of players that end up getting in that game is obscene. I'm not saying Dalton is *bad* but like I said first time, he's not exactly Brady. The Dalton Line is a thing for a reason, and McCarron is clearly below it.

TexasAg1969---Common courtesy has nothing to do with it. Gipper insults people while asking them for information. Ain't nobody got time for that.

gftChris---Playing in the Pro Bowl doesn't count for much seems like big talk for a guy who spends his weekends rooting for RG3.

gftChris---How can we be done when you never got started? As for constructive content, you can belittle the Pro Bowl all you want, but I think multiple appearances in that game make a mockery of your rant about McCarron being a back up Dalton. McCarron and Garappolo are both considered potential starters who haven't gotten a chance to play much precisely because the starters ahead of them are unchallenged. Why anyone would want to waste time debating how much better Brady is over Dalton is beyond me, but who am I to judge how a brownie fan spends his time?
BTW, there are a couple of named GM types who have weighed in on this. Charlie Casserly says Garappolo is better than any QB in this draft. And Bill Polian goes him one better by saying AJ McCarron is better than any QB in this class AND better than Garappolo too. Funnier still, Polian practically spits whenever someone mentions drafting Trubisky 1st overall.

I didn't insult you. You insulted yourself. Your belief that there is no mindset that teams refuse to trade intradivision is just mind numbingly ignorant. Can't help it that you cannot discern that for yourself.

So, are you saying Polian and Casserly are infallible? While Polian has made a lot of good personell decisions, he is not faultless.
While Polian has done a great job building the Bills and the Colts, I am sure he has made mistakes. He is best known for taking Peyton instead of Ryan Leaf. By the way....he is NOT the guy that drafted Jim Kelly. That was done before he got there. But....he may have been the guy that got Kelly to go back to the Bills after his USFL stint.
Hey....WTF. If both guys are right....then maybe all the other personell people of the NFL will listen to them and not draft any QBs in round one. They will all be on the board for the Browns for us to ponder at pick #33. That is what would happen if both Polian and Casserly got their way, no? Think that will happen? Not on your freeking life.

I don't think anyone is saying "saviour"... simply another option... one some of us like better than the other options before us.
Bill Polian goes him one better by saying AJ McCarron is better than any QB in this class AND better than Garappolo too.
Had not seen that... I did see him state that AJ's end-of-2015 stint was more meaningful, more pressurized than JG's first 9-quarters of 2016.

I think he implied that yes, McCarron had more experience in more meaningful situations.

Gip---One minute you're griping about anonymous GM sources, the next you're waxing poetic about how Polian and Casserly aren't infallible. At what point do you stop being pointless?
Tour---Polian loves McCarron. Has for years. Years ago he was probably the first to give the Bengals huge props for having the foresight to draft and stash an injured McCarron, and has spoken often about his value as a trade chip since last year. And Polian not only said McCarron's pro experience was more pressurized and meaningful he absolutely gushes about his time at Alabama. Just yesterday I heard him say McCarron was better than any QB in the coming draft, and he stated flatly that McCarron was worth a 1st round pick.

Hoorta --- You're about the 5th or 6th Brownie to argue McCarron isn't worth today what the Bengals turned down in trade last year.
It's almost like you guys don't know the value of numbers.

Assuming McCarron was shopped last year, every other team thought the Bengals asking price was too high, or they thought the offers were too low. Sure, you can ask whatever the hell you want to for a player- draw your own conclusions. I said you (and the Bengals) are overvaluing McCarron. My valuation was low 4th- the bottom end of the pro evaluators said high 3rd. Polian might think AJ is worth a first round pick, but I can damn guarantee you it won't be coming from the Browns. There is no way in hell the Browns would ship the Bengals one of their first rounders this year- even if they trade out of #12- too many holes elsewhere. BTW Hue "the quarterback whisperer" ran out of cred when he said "just trust me" on Kessler, who happens to be mighty similar to McCarron. He might have a say in what qb the Browns pick up- but it won't be the final say. Hate to tell you plenty of the draft simulations have Trubisky going high in the first round, and if Garrett wasn't in this draft- he'd probably be mocked to the Browns @ #1 overall.
Hey, did any of you dinks get a chance to read Daniel Jeremiah's recent NFL.com article where he asks 5 NFL GM types which current NFL QB's they would attempt to get if they were desperate for a new QB?
Two out of five specifically mentioned McCarron as the player they'd target, and one even suggested a trading a 2nd or 3rd round pick as a reasonable strategy.
None of the five felt trading for Garappolo or staying put to draft Trubisky was the answer. In fact, even Davis Webb got more votes than those guys.
And Dick Shiner wasn't mentioned at all.
Except Charley Casserly- and if he's so great at talent evaluation, he'd still be working for an NFL team.
Except Romo. I mean, are you really trying to sell us on AJ McCarron, franchise saviour? It's not like he's backing up Brady, if he were that good he'd beat out the red BB gun.
Yeah- Uma is saying Andy made the Pro Bowl he's so great, and McCarron can't beat him out. He only made it because Brady was in the SB, and Rothlisberger was hurt. I already pointed out to him Dalton is not Tom Brady- not even close. I counted around 18 teams that would laugh at the Bengals to swap their starting qbs straight up for Dalton. He's a mid level starter. Sorry about that Uma- want me to comment on how great he is in the playoffs?
McCarron to my mind is another stopgap, say Bryan Hoyer good. Just because we need a qb doesn't mean we're going to shuffle through mediocrity.

I don't see why you think that such things are imcompatible or really have anything to do with the other.
Sorry...if someone has an opinion...they should own up to it and put there name on it.
At least Polian and Casserly do that.
And yes, they are not infallible. That is a no shit sherlock statement. We are all fallible, if you will.

Maybe Polian just wants to fuck his wife....like Brent Musberger.
