If Jimmy leaves, do you feel like Brissett could be the heir in a couple years?

[Joey007]

(Granted, this is assuming a scenario where Brady doesn't play until he's 50. )

What do we feel about this guy, though? I liked a lot of the things that he did in that Houston win, granted we kept him limited. He seems to be pretty well liked, and his mobility is intriguing.

I do wonder if this guy has limits on his potential. The Buffalo game was definitely nothing special. BUT it was his first games in the NFL, so little early to tell on him. He was a guy Parcells really liked, so that's at least something of note.

I think he's worth a hard look, but I haven't seen enough to make any kind of determination.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

No

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

He looks promising - but the next guy drafted is the real heir; we only have Brissett for 3 more years

 

[Joey007]

I think he's worth a hard look, but I haven't seen enough to make any kind of determination.

I'm really thinking a big part of the decision on trading Jimmy this offseason will be weighted by how BB and the FO feel about Jacoby.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Yes

 

[Joey007]

No

Not agreeing or disagreeing, but a reasoning why would be a more logical response.

 

[Joey007]

Yes

Same to you ^^^

 

[Edelmania]

I think it is too early to say but to those that think he sucks just realize that his 2 starts came unexpectedly in the beginning of his rookie year after taking almost no first team reps during training camp so its not fair to hold his performance in those games against him. Considering that he did pretty good.

Did we know what Brady would become in December 2000?

 

[patsfanboy]

I didn't see enough to say yes yet, so I am saying no. He had 2.5 games to shows us glimpse of what he can become. Jimmy is clearly better than him, in game 4 when he was hurt the Pats were hoping for Jimmy to play hurt, and that for me was a bit of a red flag, not too much since he had hurt his hand but enough for concern, and I am also giving him a bit of a pass on Miami game too because the game plan didn't include him. So his best performance was against Huston which is Huston, so overall it is a mixed result.

I think tho, getting a bit off topic, if the Pats were to trade Jimmy, the would do it before the draft, either next year or the year after. If that's the scenario I think they'd likely use a 2nd or 3rd, heck call me crazy but maybe even first round pick on a QB.

 

[jah]

No

Did Jacoby steal your girl?

Yes

This is a more reasonable one word answer because the question asks if he COULD do it, not if he WILL.

 

[TheBeers]

I'd say yes except that Brady wants to play till he's 45 and I believe he'll be able to play at a high level so no.. it'll have to be the next guy I think.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

these threads make me hungry for some reason....

 

[willard]

He has some very good physical traits. He seemed very calm in the pocket and to make good decisions given how raw he is. Work ethic sounds good as does leadership traits. Time will tell, but he looks like a good draft pick.

 

[Bradyking12]

The next high draft pick will be our heir, I think Jacoby is insurance, and Jimmy was to at first imo then over achieved the patriots expectations as I'm sure if they could hold on to Jimmy they would

 

[Brick27]

these threads make me hungry for some reason....

I heard that..Jacoby Brisket talk always gets me moist

 

[Tunescribe]

Yes

If his throwing mechanics underg0 a thorough overhaul, maybe.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Absolutely. Downgrading his performance with a broken hand is unfair. He couldn't get a good grip on the ball, and it showed when the passes sailed on him. The important thing was that he took care of the ball (for the most part), and made good reads. He seems to have a strong work ethic, keeps cool under pressure, and wants to improve. Now that he has recovered from surgery, he should be able to throw the ball more cleanly again.

Will he take over from Brady? No one knows that answer. Could he? I have to believe that the answer is yes, and that we would do well with him. I expect him to be the primary (and maybe only) backup for the next few years, and if he turns into a starter after Brady retires with a few more rings (please!) then we all win.

 

[BobDigital]

No. I think it is highly unlikely.

All i would be looking for is a QB you can build a team around and hopefully compete. I would not expect another HOFer or even true elite QB though it be nice.
