Biggs: Patriots could be in the market for a backup QB | National Football Post

Doesn't sound likely to me. I'm guessing we go with Walter as #2 and O'Connell as our #3 QB.

Not to sound the panic alarm cause I think 12 is gonna be OK but anyone else think, given the moderate statistical success he had behind a horrid line in KC last year running the spread that Thigpen might be worth a look? I know they were 2-14 or whatever, but they lost a LOT of close games.

We can give Kansas City their #2 pick back for Thigpen.

Umm.. the pats used the #2 to take Butler..

If the Pats were to go for someone, I'd go for Huard who is in San Fran.

that being said, I don't see the Pats looking for a QB.

No.........
That pick went for Chung

You're right.. I stand corrected.. Shoulda looked it up instead of trying to remember..

The Chiefs picked up Gutierrez as competition for Thigpen. Cassel and Croyle are the #1 and 2,

i agree. I actually like Walter as our #2 and Connell at #3.

Mayo, Here is a thought. BB is always looking for players that have played well against the Pats. I think A.J. Feeley has performed well against us. How about A.J. Feeley from Philly? They have Vick and Kolb. They need a TE (Watson appears to be low man and last year of contract).

Just saying I think he is better than what we have right now.

For your information, Biggs is NOT a good source- he takes stuff off the wire and regurgitates them.

I personally like that thought. I like Feeley as a backup to Brady better than McCown or Thigpen, and better than either Walter or O'Connell (at this stage). How about we trade Alex Smith for him?

I was just being a pain in the butt suggesting the Patriots over pay

for Thigpen by giving Kansas City one of the 2010 #2s. K.C. wants

a #3 for Thigpen.

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

O'Con #2, Walter to shadow roster.

Why would we trade for someone that's going to be beat out for the job by the guy we cut?

 

[RayClay]

O'Con #2, Walter to shadow roster.

That would make me feel insecure at this point.

 

[Mike the Brit]

O'Con #2, Walter to shadow roster.

Seriously, how comfortable do you feel with O'C at #2 after last night?

 

[Real World]

Why trade viable commodities like a draft pick, or a starting caliber player, for a back up QB that is likely to be waived anyway? One or a couple of the Guittuirez, Thigpen, Feeley, Huard, etc group is going to be released. Just wait and pick one up for nothing.

I'm not buying, especially this part:

Minnesota figures to unload a quarterback when it’s all settled there. . . . Both the Patriots and the Packers were linked to Michael Vick before he landed in Philadelphia.

(A) The Patriots would not use Vick as a "pure" QB, period.

(B) BB would sooner start Jake Ingram at QB than give Brad Childress a draft pick for one of his castoffs.

We have backups already...
