I'd be stunned if someone, or a couple of someones, is not already on a plane to Boston. That's why you have the detailed rolodex.
I'm not as concerned about that as about the possibility of paying him for weeks 5 to 17 if he's not a Patriot.
Why do I have this feeling that Belichick is secretly welcoming this challenge???

Unless JG could play defense that is NOTHING JB did that caused that 24-10 score after he went down (you missed a FG there). There was not a single time JB went on the field that he didn't have at least 2 first downs. THAT is not a usual situation for a rookie back up to accomplish.I doubt it. After beating a team favored by 9.5, and then crushing Miami for the first 1.5 quarters, he probably was super excited to find out that Jimmy G is the man. Saw the game go to **** after the injury, had to hold on for dear life.
Nothing against Brisett, he looks like a good prospect, but the team got outscored 24-7 after Jimmy went down, couldn't sustain drives or keep our defense off of the field. Like I said, I like Brisett, nice prospect, but the team's chances of going 4-0 just disappeared. I doubt Belichick is welcoming this.
Cut one of Bill's special teamers that he jerks off toWho do we cut, then? Not sure it's worth it for two weeks -- but then again, if we need another QB, then it's the single most important personnel decision of the past year.
I understand, and normally I would agree with you, but with the short week reality, I can't envision a scenario where a QB could get in here and absorb enough information PLUS learn a new language and would be better than Julian Edelman for this ONE game.Need a backup for Thursday, though. Julian Edelman is not that guy, and he has no problem telling you himself. Emergency 3rd QB is one thing, but outright backup is a different animal.
Not much to consider, in my opinion. Belichick refused to even discuss the possibility during the week, and Edelman was quoted today after the game as saying "there's a reason I'm a receiver and not a QB."Although I would expect them to consider JE over Brissett. If he is the better option, they could go that way. I doubt it plays out like that but since he knows the system, he is technically a candidate. I can't imagine they overlook that possibility.
