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

McDaniels needs to come calling for O'Connell

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.So we'd need to unload one first and it's more likely to be O'C than Gutz? Wow
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.
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.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.
Definitely does. Brady, O'Connell, low round rookie should be the QB for 2010.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.
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.All joking aside, Gutierrez was cut before last season.

if Josh is interested in trading for him, that implies O'Connell's too good to trade away at all.

Everyone has his price - except #12 - especially as we don't actually know what O'Connell would do in a game. I'm not wanting him traded - but I would certainly consider strong offers.Is anybody seriously contemplating trading away Brady's backup? As he's rehabbing from a major injury? With nobody else in the wings except a guy who was cut last summer? Really?
Well put.

In the very unlikely scenario that he was traded, I would expect Gutierrez to be gone, the draftee to be #3 and a veteran like Garcia as the backup.I'd be pretty shocked if O'C was traded, especially in favor of another draftee.

if we draft a third stringer like Barnstater, then maybe BB can ship Guit to Denver. McDaniels needs a lot of help at QB at the moment.
