Casell got us a high two only after starting 15 games to a team where Pioli was the GM.
Because whichever team took him had to guarantee him $15M.

The irony was good theater, for sure.Perhaps Brady's worst game. Of course the fact that we cut Lawyer Milloy didn't help. However we beat the Bills by the same score 31-0, LOL
Yeah, that sounds realistic.Von Miller and the 31 and i'd Do it. Otherwise elway can go jump
The statement was made that no GM ever helped a rival solve their QB problem. I gave a counter example of *our* GM doing precisely that.Agreed. Using the Bledsoe as barometer is failed logic as well.
We got #15 for a 30 year old with 123 regular season and 7 playoff starts with about 30,000 passing yards and 160+ TD's. Posters throwing him a top 10 list is unrealistic.
Pretty much every Patriots backup QB is overrated here. I took some time to read the forum history and it's pretty funny how the same conversation took place over Mallett. Not only did (some) people think he was easily worth a 1, there were those who thought that even *that* wasn't good enough.JAG is over rated here
Garoppolo holds a $950K this season and a $1.1M cap hit next. He is not as cheap as everyone suggests.

As of now Jimmy G has the 53rd highest cap number for a QB this year. Ranking will go lower after the draft. How much cheaper can a backup QB get?
Here are the backups with a lower cap hit than Garoppolo.
- Petty - Jets
- McCarron - Bengals
- Landry Jones- Steelers
- Savage - Texans
- Zach Mettenberg- Titans
- Trevor Siemian - Broncos
- Aaron Murray - Chiefs
- Kellen Clemens - Chargers
- Kellen Moore - Cowboys
- David Fales - Bears
- Ryan Nassib - Giants
- Dan Orlovsky - Lions
- Brett Hundley - Packers
- Sean Mannion - Rams
- Philip Sims - Seahawks
53 total QBs under contract seems low.
There are a total of 95 QBs under contract.
That was not the point of my post. Posters act as if Garoppolo is 1/3 the cost of a veteran back up and that is very untrue, Luke McCown is only about $300K more.As of now Jimmy G has the 53rd highest cap number for a QB this year.

Well Its a problem Im trying to get help but also I beleive besides the zillion dollar Miller those are also the next top players on the Donkeys.
So the fact their receivers would make it sweeter for me.
The facts are these:
- The guy was drafted very late in the 2nd round 2 years ago
- There is no reason to think he is seen as any more valuable today than he was back then because he simply hasn't played a meaningful down. Your draft stock doesn't rise when you warm the bench for 2 years
- The fact that he has carried Tom Brady's clipboard for 2 years does not make him more valuable, in fact it makes him less valuable because he has 2 fewer years remaining on his rookie contract
Blah blah blah my ass, you have already shown that you have horrible judgment when it comes to evaluating quarterbacks so you would be better off sitting this out instead of giving us your blowing in the wind analysis. I'm fine with trading Garrapolo for the right offer but making that deal with a rival who only needs a QB to be a serious competitor is foolish. If Garrapolo is worth that high a pick them someone a little bit lower who won't be a serious rival for them would be willing to part with that lower pick. Making a deal for the Browns second would be an intelligent move, trading him to Denver is not.
I still want the #32 pick and would trade Garrapolo if they could get within a few picks of it, but not for less than that. The way Brady is taking care of himself and playing he will be great for some time to come and I would extend him for four to five years as soon as possible. Unless he's willing to wait another five to six years Garrapolo won't be the Patriots starter.
Brady is playing the best football of his career, he's in exceptional shape, and he is clearly motivated, I can't think of any reason he won't continue to play another four to five seasons at a minimum. There's no way Garrapolo is going to want to sit for six to seven seasons before getting his chance, he's chomping at the bit already and routinely has his helmet on in fourth quarters hoping he will get some snaps.Move him to make up for the theft of their first in there coming draft and then start grooming another and see how they do.
Blah blah blah...you'd be a total moron if you didn't take ANYONES #1 for Garoppolo.....period....end of story
The pats are toast if Brady goes down....period....end of story
A player such as Jonathan Bullard or Jason Spriggs is worth 10x on this roster versus JG.....period.....end of story
