Mallett unseats Brady if he is a better option for the team, taking into account performance, cost, and age. I know you think Mallett is not very good. I disagree with your assessment. And while many here have deified him, it is clear that Tom at this point needs weapons, protection and defense to win a championship. You give those elements to many QBs in this league and they will compete to win championships too (Joe Flacco says hi). I suspect the Brady/Mallett gap is not as big as you think, and and narrowing daily.
