DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Romo and Garoppolo

Garoppolo will be a RFA no? So if we do sign him we'll have to give up whatever pick he's tendered at, which is probably a 2nd.

No to both.

As much as I don't trust BB, I might give up a 2nd for JG. Hey things change

I think Jimmy G has a better chance of being a good qb in the NFL than any of the guys available in the draft.

With that said, it has become almost impossible to accurately evaluate qbs at the collegiate level due to the wide-spread use of Spread offenses.

Romo would likely rather play blindfolded in heavy traffic than sign here. I don't even see that as a pie in the sky scenario.

As far Garappolo, not sure I'd give up too much for him. Got his chance to start when Brady was injured and was knocked out after two games. If Belichik is willing to let him go it's speaks somewhat to his future value. I'm just not convinced enough on Garaoppolo to make a big trade for him.

How about we draft and develop our own guy like the rest of the good teams do?!?

Garoppolo is under contract for the 2017 season. We would have to trade for him.

If you think Garoppolo is a long term starting QB, then you trade basically whatever it takes to get him (within reason). I would [probably] trade one of our second round picks for him, but not one of our firsts (there is a lot of risk with him because of his lack of time on the field and contract status).

Romo is an obvious no. I don't even think it needs an explanation.

With all of Romo's injuries behind that line in Dallas, you might as well just drive up the hearse if he comes here.

LOL.............cruel, but true.

Folks saying to get Garappolo we might need to trade our Eagles pick. Would you trade that high of a pick for him? Is he a franchise QB or is he another Mallet, Cassel or Hoyer?

I think those are terrible comparisons.

Neither one of those was a high draft choice, Mallet was a 3rd round project.

Jimmy G was a 2nd round pick, that could of snuck into the first if we ignored homeless people..

Had he gone almost anywhere but NE he could be what Carr is right now..

Assuming he doesn't suck, that is.

.

Since he's cheap to keep for 2017. $1,108,513 is his cap number, I can't see the logic in the Pats moving him unless someone is willing to way overpay for him.

No one can say for sure. However, one could ask a similar questions:

Would you use a first round pick on a guy like Watson, Kizer, or Trubisky? Are any of them a franchise QB, or another Ponder, Weeden, Quinn, Vince Young, or Gabbert?

Personally, I like Jimmy G more than any of this year's top qbs. But no, he isn't a sure thing.

x2

I would be fine w/that, as well.

Sign me up.

I bet they'd take our first second. I'm not sure it's wise to trade a top 10 pick for a backup QB who will be a free agent after the season.

Depend on a rookie for what? I think it's likely Kessler is the starting QB week 1 while the new guys sits.

The Browns do have the time to develop a QB. The Browns are not winning next year, so it's not like they need to rush out and sign a QB to get us over the hump. It's likely, this is a 2 - 3 win team next year.

Sashi and Co. preach that they are looking for "long-term, sustained success" so this would indicate they are willing to be patient and develop a QB rather than a quick fix.

I'd be shocked if they traded for Garoppolo, it runs counter to their mantra of building through the draft.

The only way I see the FO trading for Garoppolo is if they panic and/or are desperate, due to internal pressure to win now and feel they are forced to make a move to save their jobs.

We'll see.

I don't think so. If they want the first two BPA in the draft, then it makes sense to go get your QB In this case JG and still build through the draft. We have 4 picks in the first two rounds. A good time to try and get your QB somewhere else when it looks like there's no QB to be had in the draft at a high level anyway. I don't think any panic has to be involved.

Trading for Romo would be a panic move.

Trading for Jimmy G would be saying hes your guy for the next 10 years..

You don't trade for Jimmy unless he agrees to sign am extension.

Milk, the Browns just traded for Collins.

I am not saying I am correct, but I feel that Jimmy G. is a safer pick than any of the qbs in the draft. He is also young enough that he will be around a long time if he is really the guy.

If we could net either Garrett or Allen at 1A and Malik Hooker at 1B, then the OT from Wisconsin at 2A (whose name escapes me at the moment), and then trade for Garoppolo with 2B - I would be very happy. If we have to do 2A for Jimmy, I'd still do it, and maybe the Wisky OT falls to us at 2B.

Romo would come for cheaper. Probably a 6 or a 7. Certainly nothing higher than a conditional 5. It could be like that year we rented Jeff Garcia's reptilian body for a year.

No doubt they did trade for Collins in a move that if they aren't able to re-sign him, I believe they'll get a 3rd rd comp pick back. Very low risk.

I'm not entirely down on Garoppolo, I just haven't seen much of anything to sell me on him. He started two games and got hurt. So what exactly are the Browns buying? My eyebrows raise when Belichik is willing to part ways with a player (assuming they Pats are actually willing to), the exception of course being Chandler Jones.

I just don't see the Browns making a move for him is all.

You do realize that if they don't trade him before the end of next year.....he'll walk for nothing, right?

I do.

But why would they trade him for a second?

A lot can happen in a year. God forbid Brady ever get injured, but it's happened before. I could see them trading him during the regular season, but not in the draft. In my opinion.

I agree that a lot can happen before now and the time he becomes a FA. But, as someone who plays the stock market......you gotta know when to sell...

...And you sell because you know the value will never be higher.

That's the analyst in you talking. Belichick is not an analyst, he's a hoarder. I bet his price on Jimmy G is a first during the offseason. It makes sense, you never know when your QB is gonna go down, so you better have a second string one.

Why does he get to walk .. why won't he be a RFA? ..

Yeah, but I would be willing to part w/our second first round pick for him. I think he is better than the qbs in this draft.

What would it cost to keep him?

Romo is the only guy more likely to get injured than RG3. We don't need that.

Garoppolo? May as well be Fool's Gold. Not a lot to go on or look at.
I look at it this way - Tom Brady will be retiring soon (a year or two more, at most) and New England isn't killing themselves trying to re-sign Garoppolo. That tells me a fair bit, I think.

I think Romo would retire before he came here ... at his age .. why in the hell would he want to come here? ..

He wouldn't and we wouldn't ask him to come here.

Non story.

Jimmy G is another story. Probably won't happen, but it would make sense for both parties.
