The Donkey's won a super bowl with suspect quarterback play.
The Pats defense could be better than last year. The Pats would need a 'veteran' QB to manage the offense, but with the amount of weapons, and decent OL, they should still win the division and host at least 1 playoff game. If Matt Cassel can win 11 games in 2008, I think even JB could win us 9-10 in 2017. We would need a strong running game though. Add an Adrian Peterson type RB to this offense, and all we would need is a QB to not turn the ball over.
I would argue as some have, that JG is extremely important insurance. Look at MN last year, and what they had to give up to get a functional QB. Whatever draft currency the Pats would get trading JG, they would have to give up to get someone who may not be as good. Though small sample size, JG played outstanding in his 6 quarters of play. Add Gronk and Cooks, and JG should do very well.
If the Pats are SB favorites, then 'going all in' for the next 2 years makes more sense than ever, as TB's window is very small and not projectable. Even 2 years ago in 2014 after the KC game many people though TB was done, and though he was superhuman last year, his drop off is closer than later. It is nice to dream about multiple high draft picks, but none of them will likely be major contributors to a super bowl run over the next 2 years, but JG will be.
