SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Maybe they like Garappolo more than Cousins after his game Sunday, He's much cheaper on the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I agree. There may be a good QB (or more) in the 2018 class, but damn if I can predict who it will be. Last year there was Watson, at least, as a clear NFL QB talent. The class has been overhyped while it has underperformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The class has been overhyped while it has underperformed. Seems like most of the QB classes, the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This deal makes me wonder if Belichick might be planning on retiring with Brady (when the time comes). With Garoppolo under center, it looked like the Pats were poised to enter the next 15 years without missing a beat. More likely, they like Garappolo and are enticed by the massive haul of picks they will garner by trading down from 1 or 2 this April. Smart move. it makes all the sense. They have a developed, schooled QB ready to start.... and also a likely top 3 pick to trade for a treasure trove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 @Gil_Brandt By trading down w/ CHI (Trubisky), 49ers got S. Thomas and Garoppolo, traded up for Foster, still have 4 picks in 1st 3 rounds of 2018 draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a developed, schooled QB ready to start.... and also a likely top 3 pick to trade for a treasure trove. The local consensus among the media is that BB wanted Jimmy as his next quarterback but Brady's play made it impossible to give him the job. This actually makes a ton of sense. It explains why they took less now than they could have got in April. Billy B. made a statement in his presser that solidified all of their opinions. He had been meeting with Garropolo every week, they say he never does that. Wonder if he wanted to trade Brady but got overruled and or his play wouldn't allow it. They also say that Bellicheck sent him to a team of his choice where he knows he will get the right coaching. In short BB and JG BBFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just heard there is a good chance that Browns trade for AJ mccarron. Stay tuned. That would be huge. I feel like McCarron and Landry Jones are similar to Garoppolo as they play behind a franchise QB who the team isnt sure about mileage left. McCarron, Jones, and Garoppolo all would do well on the open market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 @mikerodak The Bills and Patriots now own 7 picks in the first two rounds of the 2018 draft. An AFC East arms race. Too bad even the picks we received look like they will be lower in each round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 IF Bellyache had that much faith in Jimmy G, Brady would be cut in 18. Exactly. Except belching would get like 10 first rounders for him in trade and then Brady would retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The local consensus among the media is that BB wanted Jimmy as his next quarterback but Brady's play made it impossible to give him the job. This actually makes a ton of sense. It explains why they took less now than they could have got in April. Billy B. made a statement in his presser that solidified all of their opinions.

They also say that Bellicheck sent him to a team of his choice where he knows he will get the right coaching. I would be shocked if Brady didn't have a "no trade" or "approve trade" clause in his contract. Part of what makes Belicheck great is that he wants to win, period. So I don't think he "wanted" Jimmy as his next QB. He's going to stick with Brady as long as Brady performs. I think there are echos of the Watkins trade here: they hedged their bets and kept Garroppolo as the backup through as much of the season as they could just in case Brady's play fell off, but I'm thinking he made it clear he is not going to be content to remain a backup through his second contract, he wants starter pay and he's going to get it somewhere. So rather than either let him walk or franchise him, NE got what they could at the last possible moment. Press conference was interesting. Garroppolo is a "good" QB and a "great" teammate.

BillsFan4 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 More likely, they like Garappolo and are enticed by the massive haul of picks they will garner by trading down from 1 or 2 this April. Smart move. This was my thought as well. They have sooooo many holes at just about every position on both sides of the ball. A boatload of draft picks has to be enticing. Plus, Garoppolo has been being groomed (by Brady, Belichick, McDaniels etc) to start for the last 4 years. He is probably much more ready to step in and start than any rookie QB from the 2018 class is going to be. And if he works out, they only spent a 2nd on a starting QB as opposed to a #1 or #2 overall pick (plus all the assets they miss out on by not trading the pick). If he doesn't work out, they can still decide to draft a QB high in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
