Brady or Jimmy G

If you guys are going to break out the jellies, someone ought to make some toast...

Mistake #1 was not trading Jimmy G before the start of the season, or that years' draft selection when the Pats could have gotten two #1 picks from the Browns (when they still had Brissett on the roster).  Mistake #2 was trading Jimmy G for nothing, with no apparent backup in place.

For those keeping score at home, one has a 3 to 1 td to int ratio, one has a 3 to 1 int to td ratio.

While nothing would please me more than Jimmy Gesus turning out to be a bust, this was one game against a top defense in the league.  Let's not take too much from it.

I hate the fact that the guy who is probably the best QB to ever play the game is a Patriot.  But the sports fan in me is really glad that I have gotten the privilege of watching Brady throughout his career.  Hard to compare him with Jimmy G because they are at opposite ends of their careers.  Brady is winding down his career and Jimmy G is at the beginning of his.  If I had a team who's window of opportunity for a Super Bowl was closing and this was a now or never kind of year, I would want Brady.  If I had a team that was posturing itself to be a playoff contender for years to come, I would want Jimmy G.

In retrospect, this thread seems premature.

Jimmy G's decision to turn upfield instead of going out of bounds - while still 9 yards away from the first down marker goalline-to-go, and down two TDs - will likely go down as the worst decision of the season.  And given that his knee buckled before contact, his injury in his second start with NE now seems like it should have been more of a consideration.

So, in the spirit of premature discussions, I have to ask: is Jimmy G the next RG3, but with a monster contract?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Looks like the toast is undone and won't be done for a long time.   

In all seriousness, I'm sorry to hear about Jimmy G.  Hope he rehabs intensely and comes back strong next year.

Lynch and Shanahan have locked six year contracts...the rebuild continues apace. Yeah, I am sorry to see him go down (and McKinnon before him), but this is football, and that shit happens all the damned time. Silver lining...I've always liked CJ Beathard, and it will be good for him to get some more time to develop on the field.
