I heard them discussing the Garopollo trade last week. A caller questioned Garopollo's value and pointed out Matt Cassel. Haugh immediately scoffed at the comparison and said they weren't comparable.
Really? I wouldn't say they are the same QB but to dismiss the thought is insane. Away from coach hoodie, Garopollo has proven ZERO. I'd say it's a safer bet then Garopollo turning out to be an elite QB.
I think it all comes down to risk. With a drafted QB, it is a complete unknown, and probably a high draft pick and not a crazy contract. With the next big think backup QB, it's a 2nd rd pick, film from him in practice and limited game time, hopefully maturity and a crazy contract. But we do not know what NE was asking from on draft day. If it were a 2nd rd pick then, I would of drafted a QB and traded for him to let them compete.
