Quote:They could have put him in during one of their many blowout wins since Mallet has been on the squad. But they didn't. 

 

 

Then why would you advocating trading a 2nd round pick for Mallet when he wasn't worth that to begin with? You're just throwing away value.

 

 

Quote:Because that would be an admission he was wrong about Mallett.  The Gene Smith of this message board is never going to do that.

 

Brunell was drafted initially with a 5th rounder and netted a 3rd + 5th. 

 

Schaub was originally drafted with a 3rd, and eventually netted 2 seconds. 

 

The Patriots trying to deal Mallett for a 2nd despite drafting him for a 3rd seems right in line with those concepts. . 

 

Quote:If Mallett was half the prospect you've tried to portray him to be, some team would have taken the opportunity to trade for him when the Patriots have dangled him out there.  He's still a Patriot.  They'd love nothing more than to unload him, but they haven't been able to fool anyone but you into thinking he's anything more than a guy who happens to be really tall.

 

Unless the alleged off field crap is still scaring teams away. 

 

Quote:Yet you still declared him to be the best QB on the Jaguars roster.  A year later he was out of the league.

 

He probably still was the best QB ofthat lot. Lets face it, Leftwich, Garrard and Gray weren't exactly Montana, Marino and Elway.
