patchick said:Doesn't that leave us with one of those crappy QBs? Cassel may not start for the Patriots, but a quality backup QB is rare and enormously valuable. I'd be shocked if they traded him before developing a replacement. Maybe use a couple of those late-round draft picks they're stockpiling to pick QBs and let the winner learn as QB #3 next year?
If nobody looks good enough to be #2 after 2007, I'd just let Cassel play out his contract then say thanks and goodbye. You'd still have gotten great value for that 7th-round pick.
Yeah, I overstated the last option and should have just left it at Never for the various options of Never that there are.patchick said:If nobody looks good enough to be #2 after 2007, I'd just let Cassel play out his contract then say thanks and goodbye.

Yeah, and then if Brady gets hurt, we will have one of those crappy QBs instead of Brady.BelichickFan said:I'm saying after this 2006 season. There's so many crappy QBs out there, someone will offer something good for him.

Drewwho said:...and exactly what games has he won for you???
Definitely trade-if you can!
Right now we have him as a solid backup for two years. Next year it'll be one and we'll have to let him go for nothing. This isn't the '80s when you could keep two QB like Montana and Young. No later than 3/08, we will need to decide if one year of a backup QB is worth more than what I think would be a pretty good draft choice.Kdo5 said:Wow...get rid of this kid? He has great talent.

Patriotic said:So . . . we should "definitely" trade him because he hasn't won any games for us in exchange for a someone who has won games for us???
A quality backup QB can save a potentially lost season. Keep him for as long as BB thinks he can win games for us.
