$20M+ per year.

Didn't think it was that much.

Just finished a couple hour reveiw of the Jimmy G thread and here are a couple observations , some made already.

Was surprised we signed a QB when we needed and OG and C.

That aside, Cuzins was good enough to run the team but i sure didn't see him leading this team to a SB. And the price tag for the quality was just not a good deal $25-30 mil per ...and which he will get. Fortunately we won't be the ones paying him. At best a good Qb but not FR Qb. My opinion only.

This obviates the need that we take Darnold, Rosen or Josh Allen (WYO), now that i have seen them all.... nobody i see there as potential FR QB....despite the early season adulation piled on these guys. And Darnold...stay in college another yr son.

So with no cuzins, none of the top 3 Qbs, Jimmy G seems like a very good ....nope make that best choice. Truly i hope he isn't fragile, which i got from his getting injure shortly after Brady did and hence he didn't help out much once brady went down. PATS could have scored a 1 plus change earlier in season. But now that Brady has shown he can play into his late 60s, i guess Jimmy Gs time was up. They couldn't afford to pay two QBs for starters salaries. Also he is a good deal relatively, hopefully in the $20 mil per yr mold. With no real experiecnce in games that has to limit his top salary. So a good deal there too.

Next is sitting like A Rodgers did for 4 yrs behind Favre. Jimmy G did the same behind Brady. So hopefully he was learning as he watched. How could he help but not do that. Gotta like this too. So JG is ready to go vs any of the less than desirable top qBs this yr in draft. Big advantage 49ers. Downside: if bellichek gets rid of them...they may not be very good. Gotta remember this one.

The killer tho...Jimmy G coming here does not make our non existent OL one lick better. So i am uneasy putting a potential FR QB behind that horrible, ugly, nasty, invisible OL. He could get injured easily on any play....because we always have DLs gettign free shots at our qBs.

Another positive is that JG is a WCO, and is a perfect fit for shanny. Now he just has to decide which DLs he uses to help protect him on O. And that better be done or JG will be out for season if he has nobody to block for him.

CJ: Well with no OL, he proved he cannot function, which is no surprise. I am going to be very impressed if JG can pull that off.

And final observation....with potential FR QB taken care of , now F.O can focus on OG, C , OG. And they all need to be all pro starters. So FA. Then we can focus on #1 WR, CBs, S, ILB, OLB, (PLUS DEPTH EVERYWHERE), DL, additional RB. So this hire takes blowing a bundle on guys who are not FR QB talent out of the equation. I give high marks for this trade, and just before the bell, too. The bell is probably why it happened. NOw lynch and Shan need to work on their rather poor skills of picking OL talent. Hooray for the 9ers. Oh and CJ...gets a couple yrs to see if he can be the FR Qb 2-3 yrs out.


Cousins was going to cost way to much. Forget the picks, we would probably would have had to made him the highest paid QB in the league and pretty much suck up all our cap space. With Jimmy G, yes he will get paid but we will still have money to sign some much needed guys at WR, O-Line, pass rush, etc, etc.

Great move. I am excited

This move means the Niners want to win in 2018. Don't view it as another "rebuilding year". They got their veteran QB. They will get veteran playmakers with their massive FA money. Will add a few impact players via the draft.

They're not nurturing a rookie QB. Niners will go all in now.

I doubt it. Shanny and Lynch want to build from the draft and add a few impact FA players, not the other way around.

Sure. They'll build from the draft. But they're not going to let young guys play just because next year. It'll be a meritocracy. You don't pay Garoppolo what they're about to pay him and have him needlessly play with rookies. Team can win in 2018.

lol his salary this year is like 840k but we will prolly end up paying around 20 mil once we sign him to a new contract.

Is there a rule about switching #s midseason in nfl? I know nba has had one. Iverson had to wear #1 in detroit cus he was traded in season and someone already had his #3

like the move but as doc says. it means nothing if they do not address the line issues. i assume they are working on that this week not to mention the rest of the year

I doubt it. People change names mid season (i.e. Fred/Otis Amey)

Just curious but is anyone buying the narrative in the sports talk media that Bill was doing KS and his dad Mike a solid because they are friends by giving us Garoppolo?

Can't see BB doing anyone any favors. That guy is ruthless and all about business. Think he realized that Brady is good to go for another 2 to 3 years and couldn't work out a deal with JG to keep him around that long. Got what he could get. He should of traded him this off-season and could of gotten twice as much but I think he wanted to wait and see if Brady would regress.
BB does owe his career to BW
Who is BW?
