Quote:and didnt you want to trade a 2nd for kirk cousins too? history of trading for backup qbs says no theyre rarely if ever are franchise qbs. imo mettenberger is a better prospect than mallett was, better in almost every aspect of the game. the only thing mallett has is being in the nfl already.

 

I brought up the idea briefly a few weeks ago, yes. His stock obviously has fallen below where that level comp would be necessary. A 2nd rounder was too probably too much from the get go - I mis-priced him. I'd still consider giving a late rounder for Cousins as one of the QB we brought in as I am not as down on him as some on this board.  But I have never thought that Cousins was a better prospect than Mallett and the 3rd was always the starting place for any Mallett trade. So, yes, I messed up with that price.

I wouldn't mind him as one of our 2 QB added this offseason.
