Ryan Mallett was a disaster. So while some teams may be putting Garoppolo ahead of McCarron, I don't think they are that separated. McCarron should be considered just about as much in terms of trade value as Garoppolo.

 

Agreed.

McCarron looked serviceable on a team that — this season and last — wouldn't have been in a few games if Dalton didn't have a quick release and kept plays alive. McCarron isn't that level, but he did ok with the same team.

NE has a good history with plugging in players and not missing a beat. Not to say Garappolo won't be a good QB, but it's hard to weigh his body of work in NE, when people used that same yard stick for Cassel. The guy went from being the next Tom Brady to throwing one TD in a few games for the Chiefs.
