there are 2 extremes I am seeing, that I think are both misplaced. You have the poster who says Todd is sone with football, good luck in whatever it is you choose to pursue. You aren't good enough to play in the NFL.
I don't get this, I type fast and could have edited the post to be more clear, but the post I cited only began to get at the point of coaching that the Patriots have the luxury to take advantage of. That is what I wanted to point out. Todd so far as I see could do what Matt Cassel did having played none at USC. Will he be drafted for this purpose, course not. Can he do well as a back up? Sure. I do not think that a career as a back up means much if when his name is called, he could not do the job adequately. What's adequately? Garcia?
As for the rest of this post, just because I was speaking in terms of what conditions would be needed for Boeckman to become an adequate starter does not mean that I think he would be drafted for that purpose. That is a false inference. Not uncommon but false none the less.

And then you have the poster talking about Todd hopefully getting a chance in the right system to make himself a career.
Nope, did nothing of the sort, this was all me and was my point. I like seeing people working their best under good management, which raises the bar on their potential. Bad management holds people from reaching their potential. By 'management' here I mean 'coaching' of course. The point is the same in business too though.

What is wrong with Todd catching on with a team, with the understanding he is a backup? Chicago didn't fly Todd in to become the next starting QB of the Bears. NFL franchises recognize his character, and physical abilities, and see a potential backup QB. At best. In fact, I bet most teams see a 3rd string, practice QB. A guy they can call onto the squad if the backup or starter get hurt.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and he'll make a great living doing it. I am convinced Todd will make a career at the next level, I just don't think it is realistic to expect him to catch on somewhere and become a franchise QB .
Nothing I said denies this. I was talking about what I was talking about, and your points are not addressing my point, which does not mean I disagree with you. But no player is kept when the coaches think they cannot do the job adequately when called on. And if they are, that is just poor coaching. Money and other things come in to play here. But again, nothing I said disagrees with your point. My point is the importance of coaching on the QB position.
