It’s really hard to argue. I can maybe justify why they did it, considering the stack of circumstances, but it’s hard to say that he isn’t at least as good of a QB prospect as anyone coming out right now. the only real justification for what happened was that the team did not think they could get something better done after he was FT’d, and they knew in this situation they would cover backup QB this was written following the trade "On Monday night, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Cleveland Browns, the most rumored suitor, did not offer more than a second-round pick during the offseason."

Like I said, he's done more with less, and if you extrapolated his stats this year he would have finished with better numbers than Brady....on the 49ers. Food for thought.

Here's a few stories Wickersham broke that everyone thought were ridiculous - Tension in the Seattle locker room among the team (esp Sherman) - Tension between NE and Guerrero - Jerry Jones having an issue with Goodell - An article about Belichick wanting to turn the team over to Jimmy G on 11/7 - Harbaugh having an issue in SF bill cold def wait for the coordinators to take jobs and then walk...absolutely brady will not hang it up in that situation gronk could get hurt tommorow edelman could def not come back and be the slot machine jerry jones having an issue goodell was a breaking story? eh ok.....i already admitted in this thread that he did do a guerrero story....i didnt say he hasnt ever been right wickersham is also on local radio saying hes getting emails from local guys telling him hes "spot on"....yet somehow none of those guys followed and wrote the story?

jamesplante11 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 They drafted him 2.28 I believe....and got a 2.9 for him. So the essentially groomed him and paid his salary just to get 0 return on investment for him. Sounds like a loss to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. how do you extrapolate stats that him playing against tj yates and sean mannion and a rams team with nothing to play for? and your opinion says brady wasnt the mvp....but the possibility exists that the voters feel differently...peter king has already stated he gave his to brady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not really, being successful doesn't mean you need a closet full of fancy trophies or awards. I don't think anyone is trying to say Jimmy G is better than Brady, more so that hes been relatively successful to start his career. You keep comparing his stats to Brady and that's not the argument.

I'm certain you had no idea who he was when he played for Detroit Its not idiotic logic, and Garoppolo didn't under perform to get cut or be traded for a 5/6, he excelled and got dumped for 0 return on investment Edited January 5, 2018 by jamesplante11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except he did reel off those 5 wins, looked fantastic in doing so, and you don't have a solid backup, or plan for the future. So yes, in the real world in which the rest of us live in, you guys did lose out on the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesplante11 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) I forgot, @forever in debt to mo lewis, you know everything including what I do, watch, and know. As for your jab about about me not saying anything about the 5 AP nods, your wrong I did address it. Try reading my post about you comparing Garoppolo to Brady when no one is drawing that conclusion except you. They are comparing him to the 2nd rd Pick NE got in return. Why is it so damm hard for you to grasp the concept that people are allowed to have their own opinion and are annoyed by your never wrong mindset being forced down their throats?
