Should have gotten more for JG

[sb1]

The trade was on paper a W for the Patriots - drafted Jimmy 63rd overall, received 42nd overall for him. Feels now like that wasn't enough. JG is a starter and a good one and coming off a Super Bowl appearance. Looking back it should have been quite a bit more than that. It didn't have to be a first, but as an NFL starting caliber QB he was worth more than just one second rounder.

It's like they wanted Jimmy out the door quickly. That's too bad.

You need to go back and review carefully, the events leading up to the day Jimmy G was traded, then you'll realize why we couldn't.

Kindly recall that Jimmy G., didn't just want to sign a big extension, he also wanted to start, so without a concrete promise that he would start, he refused to sign an extension.

Still crying like a little biatch at anything I post eh?

Not surprised. It's what you do.

I understand it would have been difficult to keep him. We did have the cap space to franchise him but not after we signed Gilmore and some other guys. Would have been nice though. For the hand wringing about not having a post-Brady plan - he was the plan and he was sent packing.

I just question that a 2nd rounder was the best we could have done looking back. Jimmy is a starting caliber QB in the league that can play for many years, if he's healthy. He's also a winner, and a guy that went to a SB too. Those QB's are not that common.

It's okay little buddy.

Eh. Worse QB's have been traded for a bigger haul than a second rounder.

Still think we should have gotten more. Dunno what the $ would have been like or if it was feasible but couldn't they have done a Cassel style franchise and trade?

 

[NashuaPats]

Going over and over this is meaningless. It was circumstances. Because of other circumstances, we got Cam Newton for practically nothing. I’ll take Cam over Jimmy.

Now, if we could just get a decent receiver...

At the time, I felt we got absolutely robbed, now I feel differently. The trade was a fair one, all things considered and what they’ve gotten in return so far. JG has been a disappointment for most 49ers fans who thought they were getting the second coming. Now, if there’s any trade you want to ***** about, ***** about the Sanu trade. THAT was brutal!!!

All of those are very easy to consider in retrospect.

At the time, everything was virtually an unknown. Would Jimmy G become a franchise QB? Would Brady fall off a cliff? Would, would, would.

Yeah that's exactly what happens when you're desperate- you get fleeced.

Were they were that desperate to trade JG and take what they could get? I don't think they were up against any clock or anything, not that I remember. Franchise and trade was (I think) an option. Did it with Cassel.

JG is a starting caliber QB and a good one, Belichick always felt that way despite his limited snaps, he's not a backup disguised as a starter like you see around the league. Those have a lot of value and they're not that easy to find available in a trade.

True. Purely in retrospect they should have done what it took to keep JG. But it feels like they were in a hurry to push JG out the door and took less than they should have gotten.
