Favre in 2009 was the last one. He fell apart the next year as injuries mounted. I don't think Brady goes that same route.
Cousin,
I agree on Brady.
First of all, spending a third last year on another QB in Brissett more or less spelled out the JG plan.
People say that the Pats TB12 back-ups rot. Well Cassel was a 7th and still in the League and brought a playoff year to K.C. He is still serviceable.
Hoyer was an FA. He had some good games and reasonable seasons with bad Teams. He might be the 49ers 2017 starter.
Mallett was a third and has struggled. BB knew he was a gamble when he Drafted him.Ironically the Bears were interested in signing him prior to Glennon (not much difference)
JG has the most potential but can you ask him to sit two or three more years? Do you take a third Round Comp when he escapes next year? Do you Franchise him for about $15mm next year with the hopes of trading him in what appears to be a good 2018 QB Draft class?
BB always talks about the value of his pick ups and trades the first thing. He wants two #1's and Teams are balking.
No one considered one other Team that might bite for JG and I have authored a three way trade to tick some people off and amuse others.
Ready? ..........K.C......Andy Reid and BB are close so please remember that.
Alex Smith is 32 and has brought the Chiefs as far as he is capable. It is a good Team with a solid run game and great defense. All the ingredients for a yearly playoff contender. He needs a change of scenery as do the Chiefs. I think that Andy and BB can chat and he will give Reid the real info on Jimmy G.
Now the Skins have to graciously get out of the Cousins dilemma or their fan base will revolt. Is Colt McCoy the answer? Please.
I think the Skins will demand two #1st round picks BUT, they need a QB. Jay Gruden can coach up a QB.
Here is my DW Toys Trade:
K.C. Gets Jimmy G, the Pats third rounder #103 and the Skins second rounder #49. The give up Alex Smith,their first round pick #27 and their second Round pick #59
Pats Get Skins 17th and K.C. #27 in the first Round and Skins 5th #154 for Jimmy G.
Skins Get Alex Smith, the #2 pick in first round from the 49ers and the 49ers first pick in 2018, plus the Chiefs 3rd round pick (was Comp) #104, for Cousins their own first Round pick #17 and second Round pick #49 and a fifth round pick #154.
So the Chefs nor Skins give up two first Rounders. Cousins goes where he wants. The Skins get two firsts form the Niners anyway and a starting QB to replace Cousins to appease Snyder plus a lower CAP at QB. Jimmy G gets a solid from BB with a good playoff caliber Team not named Cleveland and Reid who has been linked to getting a QB in this Year's mediocre Draft class instead gets a younger more moldable new QB with a stamp of approval from buddy BB.
