IMO the Pats are selling fools gold, Polo is in the last year of his deal, and any team trading for him would have to extend him this season, next, or offer the tag. 

If I'm one of those teams at the top, I'm taking the QB I believe has the best chance to develop and succeed. I will live with the rookie deal while we determine that while using the cap room to help solidify the roster in other areas to keep the pressure on the young QB as low as possible. 

There have been to many examples of QBs looking good for a hand full of games or less and flaming out after being traded/signed to big deals. Matt Flynn, Matt Shaub, Matt Cassell <<< trend on the name Matt. I think Polo falls into that same trap for other GMs if they take that risk. 

If Polo eventually replaces Brady ON THE PATRIOTS  I think he will be a 10+ win QB. Elsewhere I can't see it based off the limited games played.

Tim Brady is 39 years old. If Belichick thought Garoppolo was anything special, he wouldn't be willing to trade him. The fact that he is willing to trade him tells me that Belichick knows he's nothing special and he can just draft another one.

Brady plans to play for another five years. That's an eternity in the NFL, but I get your point.

Jimmy G looks good though.

Brady's play will drop off in the next year or two, and it'll be an immediate huge drop off, not a gradual one. That's what happens with old QBs. Favre was the best QB in the league with the Vikings his last year there and all of a sudden after that, the worst. Peyton was the best in '13 and '14 and in '15, the worst. Brady's no different. It may come a little bit later than those QBs but no matter how well you've mastered the position, when you lose your arm, you're done. I bet Brady is retired at this time in 2 years.

He looked good the first couple games this year that's true, but I'd be extremely weary. Every QB under Belichick in NE has looked not only good, but great. That's why I'm far from convinced Brady's even a top 5 QB, let alone the GOAT. Yes he's won the most and is clearly a HoF and one of the best of his generation, but what other QBs had such a great head coach? Belichick can make almost any QB a Hall of Famer, if you ask me. And I'd probably admire the guy if he weren't a cheating scumbag. Makes you wonder why, when he's so good at coaching, he felt the need to go beyond the rules.

For New England it's a no brainer in my mind. The Pats are in the ultimate win now mode. They know they probably have three years left of Brady. Trading Jimmy might hurt in them in the longterm but boosts their short term drastically. 

 

I'd be wary but if you're a team like Cleveland, what do you have to lose. You probably were drafting a bust with that pick anyways.

It used to always be a sucker play to sign or trade for an Andy Reid quarterback because his system was very QB friendly.  Guys that thrived in his system tended to look like garbage elsewhere.

I think it's possible Josh McDaniels QBs might be a similar story.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
