Pats To Host McGee(QB)
 
We've hosted one or 2 already. Reiss seems to feel it's likely we pick up a 4th QB: Patriots to host QB McGee on pre-draft visit - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

A 4th option at QB but not a 4th QB, the roster is too deep for that.

McDaniels needs to come calling for O'Connell :)

So we'd need to unload one first and it's more likely to be O'C than Gutz? Wow:eek:

I would not doubt this, although I'm not sure that the Pats want to go into the season without a back-up that actually knows the system. I guess when you think about it, Cassel was around for 4 years, and still didn't know the playbook until he got under center for a few weeks. Right now, Denver still has Chris Simms, but I would not be suprized if McDaniels came calling after O'Connell or Gutz.

Wha do you think would be a fair value for O'Connell? , I highly doubt that Denver would send the Pats their second round pick (#48), I think a fair swap for O'Connell would be Denver's 3rd (#79) or a condictional pick.

I guess that BB could always trade O'Connell and sign Jeff Garcia, he would be a more than capable back-up to TFB.

I was just kidding - although it does make sense if McDaniels liked what he saw from O'Connell. I doubt it would happen, though, I think McDaniels would get ridiculed for going after Cassel then O'Connell.

That's what we paid for him. Forget it.

Josh Freeman is going to be a first round pick - again, I was just kidding but playing along I wouldn't trade O'Connell for less than the Denver #1 in 2010 with maybe us throwing in a pick from our bounty this year.

While I am happy with the #34 pick for Cassel, O'Connell doesn't come with a $15M bill so while he's unproven he has a lot of value with great physical tools plus a year of NFL development.

All joking aside, Gutierrez was cut before last season. The Pats' actions to this point look to me like a show of confidence in O'C as the backup, and a show of no-confidence in Gutierrez as the developmental prospect.

Definitely does. Brady, O'Connell, low round rookie should be the QB for 2010.

I'm not sure I'd call this a vote of no-confidence in Gute just yet, we know they want a camp arm, no reason not to get the most competitive prospect they can find.
