just because he is signed til age 40 doesn't mean he will be playing for NE til age 40. if BB see's a rising star in mallett he will have no problems shipping brady if his play declines in the next couple seasons.

Brady didn't take a low salary to be traded

brady doesn't own or run the new england patriots. he's a player.

Here's an idea: Mankins and Mallett to Arizona for Larry Fitzgerald.  Arizon is years off, but they still need that QB.

Alex Smith, if he does end up in KC, what's out there? Seattle will not be likely to deal within the division sending Matt Flynn to Arizona.

I wonder what Arians thinks about Mallett? Does Mallett remind him of Big Ben?

Hmm.

Together Kraft/BB/ Brady turned us from Patsies to perennial champs.....Brady DID NOT sign this contract thinking BB or Kraft would screw him. I guess the word Loyalty wasn't floated in your household...

Was just gonna post that this probably means they have something already in the works for Mallett. This year's QB crop leaves much to be desired making Mallett look even better than his ceiling. If we could get a 2nd and a 4th/5th for him, I'd kiss Babe!!!

Here's an idea: Mankins and Mallett to Arizona for Larry Fitzgerald.  Arizona is years off, but they still need that QB. So, Fitzgerald appears like he's wasting his years.

Let's not compare Mallet to Ben. Mallet is very limited athletically, Ben is not.

Don't really agree. Mallett is not Mike Vick, but he;s not limited at all. Did you even watch him in college?

He was projected 1dt rd pick prior to the draft in 2011. I am not going to argue the thin QB market right now and what that means here again.

BB did not draft Mallett in Rd 3 to have him hold a clipboard. It was either keep Brady until the end or pull the plug on Brady, get picks and commit to Mallett. The more obvious, safer choice has been made.

what does it even matter? since when does a qb NEED to be athletically gifted to succeed at the position? is brady athletically gifted? peyton manning? 

like brady and manning, mallett moves around the pocket well, has awareness, intelligence, and buy time without running 4.4 40's like these other young guys who have been coming into the league. 

brady has more rings than rodgers, newton, rg3, luck, wilson, vick, kaepernick, and any other athletically gifted QB you can think of in the NFL today combined.

Yes I did see him in college both at Michigan then at Arkansas. He is VERY limited athletically, clearly you didn't see him play.

I saw him play. You make it seem like he's Dan Fouts in cement shoes. He's not. Ben Roethlisberger is also not that athletic at all. He just prefers throwing from the outside of the pocket, as a way buy time.

Clearly, I did see him play, and you think MIke Vick athleticism has to be the main compoenent for a QB.

MAllett is 6'5, so is Big Ben.  You're acting like Ben is fleet afoot which is comical.
