Mo's whole gig start with 'I don't like Mallett' and goes from there.

As of right now, Mallett is an outstanding prospect who has the luxury of having some time to develop. doesn't mean he will, but at least he's more than the perennial backup that hoyer is/will be. At least Mallett has a chance to be all that.

I think Mallett is the future, and he has the luxury to learn the game from the best in the business as opposed to those who are literally thrown to the wolves...

I like Hoyer, but not real sure he will be in a Patriots Uniform next year...

I love Mallett, I think that kid is going to be a star. He is one of the few college QB's who has ever made me forget I was watching a college game. It was like he was playing on a different level than the typical pop warner bs many teams throw out there.

Oddly that's what they said about Brady. Turns out arm strength is developable via mechanics and is just the tip of the iceberg as far as things a QB needs at this level. And Bledsow couldn't make it here, on a Belichick team running this offense... Nor anywhere else's once he left here, even though he was just 30 at the time.

I don't hate Mallet, just don't see him as a fit for this offense. People like yourself insisted that Brady could never be more than a backup. Same deal for Cassel. I disagreed then, too. I think Bill took Mallet because there wasn't anything else that appealed to him in that slot, which he tried to trade out of but there were no takers, so ala Ron Wolf who advocated taking a QB every year for development and possible trade if not use, he took him. He has 3 years remaining on his contract. If he passes Hoyer on the depth chart next season. Brady has 4 and will likely be around a few years beyond that.

Then you must think Brady is gone in 2-3 years. Because Mallett is only signed until 2014 and they have to decide on paying him at the franchise QB level by the end of the 2013 season if they want to extend his contract through 2015, and that will be tough to do if he hasn't started a game in the NFL by then.

What are you basing this on? I'd like to know what throws Hoyer simply couldnt make due to lack of arm.

so let me get this straight.......you are saying that hoyer has the ability because brady had it? and mallett does not? technically speaking, what do you base your conclusion on? what is it about mallett that you see or don't see?

how many years has hoyer been here? why is his arm still a noodle....you'd figure he'd be strenthened by now if he was taking the same path as brady.

the pats could have taken mcelroy later, or enderle or stanzi.....instead of tossing a 3rd rounder that they could have used on one of the several OG's still available and certainly a need at the time.

I understand the argument you're trying to make, but it's not coming together for you

he's underthrown pretty much every long ball I've ever seen him throw here.

you can chalk it up as something else, but I see it as an arm strength issue
