Nothing less than a First for Mallett, else, we keep him, IMO. I'm not sure about Hoyer, it depends on how BB evaluates Mallett.

I mean, that's not really news...they'd listen to offers on Brady, too - doesn't mean anything would actually happen.

Except Rapoport felt it was more than just a boiler plate statement or he wouldn't have bothered to tweet it. I admit, I'm assuming that.

IMO, getting rid of Mallet will be a big mistake, rivaling the Curse of the Bambino.

Mallett has the tools to become a great quarterback in the NFL, and with the Pats he could put up career numbers coming close to, or eclipsing Brady's.

Hoyer on the other hand, will never be a great starting quarterback, but a better than average backup and will do well if given the opportunity to play in games when it mattered, not just in garbage time.

My exact thoughts. Listening to offers doesn't mean they have to respond to those offers.

They'd be selling low on Mallet, Hoyer's not going to fetch much being a FA next year

I like Mallett but if the Browns or Dolphins came calling with their top 10 pick then we accept the offer 100%

I dont think BB will let Mallet go, Hoyer on the other hand is set to go IMO. i hope mallet would stay i think he can be a good QB, all he need is just to learn more from the greatest.

Slow down there. I don't think it's time to start saying Mallet will be as good as the GOAT yet. The odds of him coming close to Brady's production are slim to none. However, nobody that follows Brady is going to be as good as Brady, so I don't want to get rid of Mallet either.

To begin with, there has never been any "Curse of the Bambino." The the inclination in the 50s and 60s to ignore black and Latin players and the habit in the 70s, 80s and 90s of ignoring good pitching and loading up on big, slow right-handed power hitters caused the 86 year drought. Suggesting that Ryan Mallett will rival Babe Ruth strikes me as a touch hyperbolic.
