Luxy312 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 No to Mallet. If you can't make it as Tom Brady's back-up in New England, then you're not qualified to be a back up anywhere else either. The team doesn't need to "try out" anyone else for a backup job. There's enough of a lack of continuity in this team already, that they don't need to take more away by adding players to the mix.

BuffaloPride Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm not sure anyone questions his arm strength. His head has always been the issue with him, going back to college. Henderson was a head case in college too. We took a chance on him and it looks like he's going to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 @ProFootballTalk On PFT Live, @tomecurran says he thinks Patriots QB Ryan Mallett will be cut if he's not traded. Yes, but Whaley won't pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Henderson was a head case in college too. We took a chance on him and it looks like he's going to start. Fair enough, but the situations are a bit different I think. Henderson was immature and plays a position that is a bit more brawn than brain. Mallett was seen as "not too bright" and a guy who made bad decisions on the field, and QB is a far more cerebral position, I think. Different kinds of head cases and different positions.

I don't know about the bad decision part. In 2 seasons at Arkansas he threw for 7,500 yards, 62 tds to 19 ints. Not saying he is the answer but if EJ bombs this year we are in serious trouble. We're going to need options. If EJ pans out then no harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would rather put a mallet to my forehead. That said, he's better than any QB we have right now not named Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different kinds of head cases and different positions. he was pretty good in college. his big question marks were that he may have had serious drug issues, and that he wasnt the mobile qb that was/is hot currently. im not going nuts for him, but compared to tuel or palmer id be in for a LATE pick, and/or modest contract.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 That phrase should be engraved on a monument. "Anyone is better than EJ, Fitz, Trent, Holcomb, Losman, AVP, etc. Except I said he's NOT better than EJ, I said he's better than our two #3 quarterbacks.

I think they cut him. They often keep two. They like Garranimal. They know he's gone next year. And probably know if Brady's gone they're screwed unless Garrappollo is a miracle worker.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think the Pats are going to squeeze a draft pick out of someone. If I am the Rams, I toss a 6th rounder to grab Mallett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
