I just haven’t seen enough progress out of Mallett to think he’s the guy and this is the final year of this contract. If someone wants to trade for him, please do.
In my opinion I think BB will stay with the Pats past Brady and will relish the challenge of keeping it going after Brady. I’ve heard him mention how much respect he had for the 49ers to do it with two QBs.
Brady has three years left on his deal and I saw nothing this season that signaled any reason he can’t be the man for those three more seasons, but often decline happens quickly, especially if he were to sustain a significant injury.
This offseason is the time to start really looking to develop someone behind him I believe. Three seasons would be the perfect developmental time, especially if a rookie is in on a four-year deal.
I’d draft, I’d sign free agents, I’d take a look at any and every quarterback possible starting now (not that they don’t already do this).
What I am most curious about is to see what kind of a quarterback they take. Belichick is a forward-thinking coach, and he’s seen the threat a quarterback who can run is. Do they stick with traditional pocket passers? Or do they believe that the evolution at the position is inevitable?
