His value is more in a trade than it is as a clipboard holding backup.
EVERY back-up QB has more value in a trade than as a clipboard holder until there's an injury...

Maybe your right, but what about a 2nd in 2016 & 2017? I could see that happening.
It could also be a player for a player.
It's a mistake to think that we can likely move on or reload at the QB position. When Brady leaves look for BB to leave as well - so all bets are off. The JAG/BB era is not likely to ever happen IMHO.
I agree that the Pats will be great in 4 years still, but it is a football eternity. Is there a reason you are confident in the Defense in that future time frame? I mean we have Jones, Hightower, and Collins now... We may not have one of them in 3 to 4 years. Alot of other players will have aged... Edleman will not be the Edleman we know now also. If the argument is that the Pats/Belichick will always build great teams and that is why they will be a strong defense in 3 to 4 years I can buy that I guess. I am just curious if there is a reason you have for thinking it beyond that. (Like do you foresee a core group being together long term on D kind of like Law, McGuinness, Bruschi, etc did)Brady could suffer a career-ending injury in the preseason next year for all we know.
If Belichick thinks Garoppolo is the guy, **** no, you don't trade him. In 3, 4 years, this defense will be one of the very best in the league. Garoppolo's in line to drive a Ferrari, I doubt he's in any hurry to play for a dogshit team.
In other words, this thread's about 2 years premature, IMO.

Let him develop, you never know what the future holds. Kid has got a lot of potential. It only takes one hit, and he's playing meaningful snaps.
The Broncos drafted Brock Osweiler in the 2nd round in 2012. How is that not giving a crap about a backup QB?In fact, I implore everyone to closely watch Brock Osweiler the next few weeks and ponder what life looks like when your team doesn't give a crap about who is backing up the star QB.
Shoukl be an interesting story to follow......

Are you kidding?
Cassel went 11-5 in 2008 and it took him AND Mike Vrabel to get ONE (1) 2nd round pick.
The only way this is a realistic conversation is if Josh mcD and caserio leave together for Detroit this offseason.
They will get out from under Calvin and staffords contracts, and want to start fresh with a QB they can trust.
Outside of that, there isn't any other situation where JimmyG could possibly be valued at the price the Pats would be willing to give him up for.
Not directly comparable. Cassel had a guaranteed $14.6M salary that was hurting the Pats cap.
The pick we got for that trade is currently on the roster and a significant contributer.The point was what the Patriots received in return for Cassel.
They had to throw in Vrabel and they only got ONE 2nd round pick.
I was responding to a poster who thinks the Pats could get TWO 2nd round picks for a backup QB who hasn't gone 11-5 in the NFL.....and with no Vrabel throw in.

Patrick Chung.
Well that's never going to happen so having into him will be easy. Jimmy has played 3 quarters in the nfl, you could not get a first for him
The morning of the Week 17 game against the Bills last year, Caserio signed a contract with the Pats that keeps him here through the year 2020. Of course, he can leave if another team offers him a step-up promotion position.
