ESPN with more random trade suggestions

Screw stats. Romo sucks. In past years he's had a penchasnt for blowing it at the last second. The anti-Brady. Belichick can make it work with almost any kind of QB. Except a gunslinger who crumbles under pressure. Which is what Romo is. I want Garappolo to be very different than that.

And ESPN is not influencing my opinion at all. I've thought Romo is severely overrated for years. A strong dislike for the Cowboys doesn't hurt either.

"Screw stats" basically means "I'm going to buy the narrative" since the stats show something completely different.

Romo has a higher career 4th quarter QB rating (in fact, the highest among active QBs) and more 4th quarter comebacks since 2011 than Brady. That's not to say he's better than Brady - he clearly isn't, they're not even in the same league, but who is? - but to say that he's certainly a top QB.

The "he's not clutch" narrative is entirely that, a manufactured narrative that only comes out to play when a comeback doesn't happen. Guess what? Brady fails to make comebacks happen too. As does Manning. As does Rodgers. As does Brees. And, along with Rivers, those are the only guys I'd take over Romo in the time he's been in the NFL.

If Jimmy G is a Romo-caliber Pro Bowl quarterback for the Patriots for a decade, they've put themselves in a pretty good spot to continue to contend. There's a large number of quarterbacks who totally flame out and a small number of historically good QBs in the league at any given time. Don't expect another Brady... ever, maybe.

any rumors in there of us getting a #1 and a #2 for Grop?

Is espn so starved for attention that they have to make up garbage now ?

They really have become a nest of clowns.

at least they stay at the appropriate lodging options...

So...Brady gets traded for the only decent WR on the other team, sure thing. I mean at least put some sense and put Clowney and picks or something like that that could POTENTIALLY make sense.

Right now I don't think the Patriots have a lot of needs that can be easily addresses. Ayers is likely the best option to fill part of the gap left by Mayo. Mostly though Collins & Hightower need to play better.

Branch will help the run D. The OL is actually okay and has decent depth when healthy (7 guys I currently like).

If I were to pick up anyone right now it be a DE. Ideally someone that is more of a pass rusher than run stuffer.

Brady to Houston for 2 #1's, and then Brady retires after the deal is finalized.

brady to denver for the thomas's and 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks and 30 papa johns locations.

I will play along, let me make a insane trade proposal:

JJ Watt + 1st round pick for Brady

Would you do it?

30 Papa Johns? It's a deal!!!

There are 2 players i would trade Brady for, that's it. Luck would be the first and Rodgers the 2nd, and neiter is ever going to happen. i wouldn't trade him for picks., period.
