so you're saying this is a good thing.................??
wtf?
i mean your post can be taken in 2 entirely different ways. NE and Pitt have QB depth and he was the low man out, correct?
but meanwhile, in your opinion, AZ couldn't find a good QB if they shoved him right up their azzaz. so?
???????
Yes, Arizona is a very poorly run orginization. They though Kolb was a franchise QB.
And in those two years since, two teams have disagreed with him.
Really makes me believe in Lombardi.
NE cut him, they have a 1st ballot HOF QB, Pitt cut him, they have a borderline HOF QB, AZ cut him, and the've shown great decision making at the QB possition right?
I can def. see a scenario in which Hoyer starts
Problem with no garuntee is say he stays completly clean but happens to blow his knee out in a game this, comes back next year and breaks a bone in camp. Cardinals can just get rid of him and completly screw him over. I expect something similar to Blackmon's contract where garuntees can be voided if he is subject to certain disiplinary actions.
Basically every team in that draft listed Gallery as the best prospect
Yep
Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network tweeted today that the Patriots have agreed to a contract with offensive lineman Robert Gallery.
ESPNBoston.com has confirmed it's a one-year agreement in principle.
The agreement brings back memories of a news conference with Bill Belichick prior to the 2004 draft. At the news conference, Belichick was asked who he would select if he had the first overall draft choice.
His answer: Gallery.

Yeah unfortunately our new GM also thought Robert Gallery was going to be the next Anthony Munoz. I sure hope Lombardi has learned from his mistakes, or else it's not long until the Browns go 0-16.
We've posted this guys track record drafting- and it's second only to Matt Millen's for sheer stupidity. I almost puked when I heard Banner hired him.
We are going by "his" Oakland drafting? I think Al Davis had a bigger part in that than Lombardi.
OK then, until you come up with a credible proposition STFU.
How about this simple, symmetrical trade: Our backup QB for your Backup QB. Colt McCoy for Mallet.
...and you may be getting the better part of the deal.
and that is a credible proposition? lol. All I'm saying is that your new quasi-GM thought Mallet was top 10 pick worthy when he came out of college.
We already have one All Pro left tackle, and perhaps the best young right tackle in the game.
And Mallet sure as hell under no one's evaluation is a franchise QB.
So you chowderheads quit trying to fawn your dregs off on us....and leave us out of your silly fantasies.
You want to do something for us? Perhaps give us Aqib Talib for like a 6th round pick...if he is yours to give (or is he a FA).
Except apparently your new VP of player personnel, who before the 2011 draft had him rated as the best QB in the draft.

He got busted with cocaine his senior year. And we are set at tackle, unless Vollmer can play G, no thanks. How about Hightower and Mallett?
I haven't seen a credible source say he got busted for cocaine, he had a public intoxication citation that cost $155 in fines and fees but that is his only legal record and he never failed a drug test. No way Hightower is traded, I think he is going to end up just as good as Mayo if not better.
Brett Favre held nearly every passing record at Southern Miss, most of which still stand to this day. He took a school that was a perpetual underdog into national prominence, beating a handful of ranked teams they shouldn't have ever beaten. He would have been the starter for Atlanta but Jerry Glanville was a bitch and never wanted to draft him in the first place, and went on record saying it would take a plane crash to put Favre in the game.
Even still, Brett Favre is an exception to prove the rule. For every one Brett Favre there is, you have 10 Colt Brennans.
Have you looked at the records Mallet has at Arkansas? And Arkansas was pretty bad before Mallet got there, overall record of 5–7 and a conference record of 2–6 in 2008, went 8-5 with a bowl win in 2009 with Mallet, and it 2010 he went 10–2, 6–2 in SEC play and earned a berth in the Sugar Bowl.
The man's never taken a meaningful snap and he's suddenly an a franchise QB?
If he were a franchise QB, Belichick wouldn't trade him and a young franchise LT for anything less than two first round picks.
Solder is the franchise LT, Vollmer was the RT and is 28. A lot of people think that Vollmer will leave to become a LT somewhere, and he is a free agent. We have a promising young tackle in Cannon right behind him, Cannon is 4 years younger and was projected to go in the second round two years ago before being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the combine. Look at Favre, he was traded for a first after seeing almost no snaps in the regular season.
No, I'm saying that some coaches are better at it then others, just like gameplanning. Do you think every "troubled" player that goes to New England just magically gets better?
I think Belichick takes players that he thinks their love of football outweighs their weaknesses and he puts them in a position to only worry about football to keep them out of trouble.
Mallet never "got caught with cocaine" somebody from an NFL team said that he admitted to drug use in combine interviews. Mallet when asked by the media said that that conversation is between him and the teams and rumors spread like wild fire. Another media rumor was that he was hung over and skipped a meeting with the panthers, turns out he got food poisoning eating dinner with execs from the team. What college kid doesn't do a little experimenting? Look how many NFL players popped positive for weed in college. Somebody on the pats board brought up tagging Vollmer and trading Vollmer and Mallet for the #6. The Browns would get an All-Pro offensive tackle and a franchise QB.
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.
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.
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.
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.
