To put that into perspective, here are the total college passing attempts of other recently drafted top QB's
Tua-684 attempts
Herbert-1,294 attempts
Allen-649 attempts
Mahomes-1,349 attempts
Watson-1,207 attempts
Wentz-612 attempts
Burrows-945 attempts
Also, RG3-1,200 passing attempts
You're not throwing that guy out as a rookie starter unless you're just hopelessly desperate for a QB which the 49ers wouldn't be while retaining Garoppolo. Lance needs to sit, watch and learn. You throw a guy like that in too early and you risk ruining him altogether.
Exactly right. He's gotta sit a year if they add him.
It's not about the offense you run in college, it's your actual playing time. A 21 year old kid with 14 career starts and 288 attempts just isn't ready to start in NFL. It's crazy talk.
He also played in a pro-style offense.
I could careless if Herbert got a million passes in that Oregon spread offense that doesn't really help in in regards to reading defense in the NFL. He's running a totally different offense currently. Watson was running a totally different offense.
His reps from an offenses perspective are quality reps, yes competition is an issue. Play calling and what he was asked to do is not.
Again there is no money, you say yeah well move around some money...show me what you move around to maintain the roster & keep Jimmy.
It's not there man. The financials aren't there...especially if you're talking about wanting to win a Super Bowl next yr. this roster will NOT be the same or even close to that 2019 roster in 2021 with Jimmy's money on the books.
SO IMO you either find some way to trade for Stafford (pipe dream imo) OR get a top end rookie who's got a high ceiling & have a top end roster around them...make a play to get into the playoffs anything after that is a crapshoot. Any given Sunday in the playoffs.
