26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 @ProFootballTalk On PFT Live, @tomecurran says he thinks Patriots QB Ryan Mallett will be cut if he's not traded.
Mango Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 if he is cut, sign him as a backup. but if he is cut it is for a reason and may not be better than what we have
prissythecat Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Has Mallett ever shown anything in an NFL setting that would indicate he can succeed as a QB? If so , then he would be worth a look.
CountDorkula Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 My dog loves to roll in poo. Well that's pretty shi**y...
The Dean Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Never been a Mallett fan and nothing I've seen from him has changed my mind. If he is cut, then even Belicheat couldn't find a way to make him into a decent backup, and that has never been a problem for the Pats*, The drafting of a QB in the 2nd round this year was a sign that Mallet is a bum. With that said, it couldn't hurt to bring him in for a look-see, though I'm guessing another team will step up and offer him a contract.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 If he's ultimately cut, I would bring him in for a visit to work him out. Nothing loss if he's a zero.
MichFan Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 No. To my knowledge, he has never been accused of being a leader let alone mature. My experience with watching him in college was that when he made a bad throw he walked back to the huddle, when his receiver missed a catch he gestured and pointed fingers. He also wouldn't hesitate to get in the coach's face. This team doesn't need to bring an attitude on board at this point. We also don't need to mortgage the future any more than we already have done.
Rob's House Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I haven't watched enough of Mallet to say how his overall game is, but the guy can throw a football with the best of em. In one of the Pats preseason games he threw a sideline pass 40 yds down field that hit the runner in stride right along the sideline. The WR dropped it, but had he reeled it in that was a beautiful pass.
BigBuff423 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Mallet would *have* to be better than Lewis...
bmur66 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 In a heartbeat. Much better than the 2nd and 3rd scabs we have
Fan in Chicago Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Sign him for a few weeks, pick his brain on the Pats* offense, then cut him
The Dean Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 In a heartbeat. Much better than the 2nd and 3rd scabs we have Based on? Aaron Murray may get cut. Much rather give him a shot than Mallett. (Based on?) Well not much, accept his game in college was far more cerebral than Mallett's. And he hasn't demonstrated he sucks yet.--something Mallett has managed to demonstrate on a few occasions.
BuffaloPride Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Mallet can make all the throws at this level . I wouldn't write him off just because Belichek doesn't like him. The kid was projected to be a starter coming out of college. I'm sure he wasn't happy being drafted by the Pats knowing he wouldn't have a chance to start. He reminds me of Cutler. He's arrogant, no doubt, but has a canon for an arm. I would give him a chance.
