So his play in college translates 100% to the NFL? Great, lets not draft a QB and start Stanzi, he's only 3-0 in bowl games with a great career record and numbers in a very tough conference.

I think the Pats will disagree with you on that one, thus why they moved to get him.

Dan Marino changed. He's in the best place possible for him to learn discipline. I think he has a lot of potential after sitting on the bench for a few years.

Precisely.

Drew Bledsoe played himself into a super bowl as a starting QB with his slow feet. Mallet is WAY faster. Vinny Testaverde and his slow feet and slow everything has been in the playoffs a few times, didn't really stop him from getting there.
Point is, you'd have to be an idiot to think there is anything negative about the Mallet situation right now. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Favre and took over the reins when he was done. I believe the Pats have their guy when Brady is gone, and like any "follow up" to one of the greats, Mallet will never have the "luster" that Brady had. Won't stop that team from being a perennial playoff team. Which is more than we can say.
