It's going to be really interesting to see what NE does after the season. They are definitely tagging him, but there is no way they can carry his salary and Tom Brady's salary if TB continues to play for another 2-3 years. Do they cut Brady (lol)? I think Cleveland would be all over this if he's available. The Texans' 1st and 2 of Cleveland's' 2nd round picks (they have 3)?

For my money, they should have traded JG and kept Brissett.

They won't tag him. He will sign whatever they offer him

idk if he will resign for whatever the pats offer, a team will offer 2 times as much, but if he does then its just another example of why the pats are so good every year and for decades, its like the players who they draft and keep are all about the team while the others they trade aren't..if Jimmy G signs with the patriots for less then 10 million a year I will be shocked considering the contracts the likes of Glennon and others have gotten...Hoyer is getting what ? 8 ? Jimmy G will get more..

JG doesn't have to play and still get paid. why walk away from that

That's losers mentality bruh, wouldn't you wanna start and eventually make a name for yourself? I don't know what young guy wouldn't wanna play or anyone.

Well that's what jg is going to do

It's one thing if the pats franchise him a he doesn't have a choice, it's another if they let him hit the market and gets a chance to start and get paid still. He's not gonna go back to the pats if they let him test the market and Brady is still there

He's a guy that has been talked about considerably on here, a very intriguing small-school QB prospect, basically broke all of Tony Romo's records at EIU. Today Jim Harbaugh attended his workout at Northwestern and had a private workout with him as well. He's a guy in whom Harbaugh can see a lot of similarities to himself. Tough, hard-nosed Midwestern guy with a chip on his shoulder, terrific leader out on the field, very gutsy and determined. If the 49ers were going to take him, it'd be early on in the draft but he's ultimate Kaepernick insurance in case they can't get a decent deal worked out.



I've listed his rankings of his attributes from his Scouts Inc

Intangibles-1- Primarily lined up at running back first two years of high school. Brother Mike played football at Western Illinois. Humble and handles success well. Strong work ethic. No off-the-field issues. Hard worker on and off the field. Very good football character. Played big in biggest games. Finished career with 23-22 record as a starter, but was 19-7 in final two seasons. Only lost two games as a senior: at Northern Illinois (49-39) and in FCS quarterfinals to Towson (completed 76-percent with 321 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs). Also beat bowl-bound San Diego State by 21 points.

Mental Makeup-2-Mentally and physically tough. Confident player and highly competitive. Very good football IQ. Picked up new offense (new staff) quickly and has strong retention skills. Shows ability to elevate his play  and play of teammates  in biggest games and in toughest situations. Effective when playing from behind. Understands situations and how to manage the game. Displays fast eyes on tape. Very decisive. Manipulates coverage with eyes and pump fakes. Has some 'gunslinger' in him. Will make some overly aggressive decisions and take some unnecessary risks on occasion

Accuracy-2-Good anticipation. Will throw receivers open. Displays good touch on short-to-intermediate throws. Will take zip off fastball and knows how to lead receivers' to yards after catch. Capable of making accurate off balance throws when necessary. Flashes ability to drop ball into bucket on red zone fades. Deep accuracy is adequate but will need to improve. Has a tendency to miss high inside strike zone on throws over the middle. Can improve consistency on rail shots to his left (more accurate down right sideline). Average accuracy on second-reaction throws. Needs to be more consistent with mechanics when throwing off-platform. Has a lot of developmental potential if he gets with the right coach in the NFL.

NFL Release/ArmStrength-2-Excellent release quickness. Eyes are married to feet, so almost always in position to pull trigger. Shows ability to effectively alter arm angle when necessary. Occasionally fails to transfer weight from back to front, which results in ball floating. But when he gets good hip rotation and follows through on throws, he shows good velocity on fast ball. Has no trouble driving the ball into wind. Has proven capable of making all the throws in snow/ice. Overall velocity is a notch below elite but above NFL average.

Pocket Mobility-2-Quick feet on drops. Shows urgency on drops and when maneuvering in pocket. Above average athlete for position. Steps up to avoid pressure off the edge and can side-step interior pressure. Flashes ability to spin away from defenders and has good flexibility to adjust body in order to get ball out. Doesn't appear to have great feel for backside pressure. Can be too quick to tuck ball at times. Won't make many miss when he takes off running but shows good initial burst and adequate top-end speed for position. Also is competitive, yet smart runner (knows when and how to slide).
