Agree or Disagree: Getting rid of Hoyer takes the training wheels off from under Mallet. Rodgers had to wait 3 years to get his turn. Mallet will (realistically) have 4. Brady has 3 more solid years, but then Mallet gets the role after 3 more solid years of drafting.

I agree that it takes the training wheels off of Mallet, but I wouldn’t automatically assume he’s going to beat Brady out in four years. Brady’s not giving up the job until it’s taken from him and I think it’s possible he can play at an elite level for at least another four years.

Mallet will have to continue to improve or else he could be gone before he even gets a chance to take the job from Brady. He certainly has an elite arm, but there have been plenty of QBs with elite arms that fail. It’s really the perfect situation right now for Mallet and he must take advantage of it and take note of how hard Brady is still working. If Mallet shows that kind of commitment it’s certainly possible that he’ll really start to push Brady in the next few seasons.

Oh, I knew he was going to be good,” Hutchinson said. “He was always one of the tough guys, then. I remember we played Ohio State and they got up on us, I think it was my junior year, his senior year. They blocked a couple punts and got up on us quick. And we were playing catch-up throwing the ball. They were blitzing every play, hitting him in the mouth. He was coming back to the huddle, blood running down his face and didn’t even faze him. You know he was going to be tough.

I think you realize at a young age that you really don’t know what you don’t know, so you see guys in the springtime that have great spring camps. I remember my second year, we had a receiver, Aaron Bailey, that was pretty good. I thought, ‘Man, this guy is really good,’ and then we released him and I couldn’t believe it. ‘Man, we released that guy. He’s the one that made all the plays.’ That’s just what happens. You see a lot of players come and go and you just learn to deal with it, learn to live with it, and you understand, like, what my job is – it’s challenging enough as it is. I don’t have to worry about too many other jobs.

Great read from Borges on Brady…

Difficult as it might be for someone who has been washed over by a tsunami of success, Brady’s attitude toward his work remains identical to what it was when he first arrived as less than an afterthought in 2000. If anyone knew what he would become, 198 players would not have been drafted before him. That they were is something he has never been able to quite shake, and three Super Bowl rings and five Super Bowl appearances have not altered that or the approach that has been the foundation they were all built upon. He may throw offseason passes in Los Angeles or Costa Rica or Brazil as often now as he does in Foxboro, but he throws them all the same. He may watch film on a larger sofa or in a soundproof room, but he still watches just as often.
