Looking at Ryan Mallett’s chances of sticking in New England

Four days after the Patriots took Ryan Mallett in one of the most memorable moments of the 2011 draft, folks in New England are still trying to make sense of the move.

Our good friend Tom Curran of CSNNE.com joined Florio on PFT Live Tuesday, and essentially thinks Mallett won’t be long for Foxborough because the only way to take a starting job from Tom Brady may be from his cold, dead hands.

Brady may seem bigger than the team outside the building, but Curran says he still has the same passion as when he was a younger player. (Unlike Drew Bledsoe, who seemed to lose a little fire later in career.)

Head over to the PFT Live homepage to hear Curran’s entire interview, including the news that great offers never materialized for New England’s No. 33 overall pick. (Also please check out his sweet magic slurpee-induced guitar solo to start the interview.)
