I think Cleveland is making a mistake by not acquiring Garoppolo from New England.

I am a Patriots fan, and I am glad they appear to be holding on to him, which is good from an insurance perspective, even if they don’t get anything for him when he leaves.

But I think teams are missing out, particularly Cleveland.

Garoppolo isn’t Matt Cassel II, as people like to say. The eye test tells me that Garoppolo can play, and it says it differently from when I watched Cassel. Cassel was workmanlike in his play...I look at him the same way I look at Alex Smith with Kansas City, with less ability than Smith.

Garoppolo can play. Mark my words, he is going to be good when he leaves New England, as he surely will. I am glad he isn’t going to the Texans or even Cleveland...outside the conference is fine with me.

Garoppolo can play. If I were Jimmy, I would do my best to stay there content to hold the clipboard until Brady decides to hang it up. In what could become a seamless dynasty for some more years.

Garoppolo isn’t Matt Cassel II

Maybe not, but he may not necessarily be Aaron Rogers II, either. Inasmuch as the Patriots have a good eye for talent, it does speak well that they are trying harder to holdon to him than Denver did with Osweiler.
