Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Los Angeles Rams

dunno we traded Bono and Garbac , they where both super decent.

Bill Walsh would have traded Brady, but if this guy can be Steve Bono we did good.

If you connect trade dots on 4 SF deals, you'll find 49ers got Reuben Foster and Jimmy Garoppolo simply for moving down 1 spot last April.

Already mentioned, but put me down as whole heartedly in favor of making this decision and 2ndly making it now....gives time to see how JG does in actual playing time. MORE IMPORTANTLY, and this is the big one, this takes the elephant off our backs in FA and draft, NOT having to have a FR QB pick. Already stated, there were none in draft, and cuz was definite impoevement but not enough for SB shots...at least IMO. This way lynch can focus on all the holes (which we have no shot at filling all of them)...of OG, C, OG, ILB , OLB, 2 CBs, S, shheeesh....#1 WR...plus depth everywhere. Anyone thinking we are ok on depth is dead wrong. That is one of our biggest needs...but has to occur after we sign 16 more starters...ok 15 with JG. But we got our big one ,
Potential FR QB. Realistically we need 4 starting OLs and they need to be either all pros or close. Yikes that is awful . so those guys are going to have to be FA. And please don't talk about getting an OL in 2nd rd and coaching him up to starter. Because taht is wishful thinking.

what?

We're trading our own 2nd round pick next year. Thought it had nothing to do with 2017.

Heck. why would the Pats NOT trade him?

That should be the question... he's all under POTENTIAL as off this moment... why say NO to a high 2nd rounder?

Bilichick would probably be retiring anyhow once BRADY's done.. so why not win as much as he can NOW while he still has a QB..

In Bilichick's head, what's Grappy done thus far???

Could he only be the next Cassel... Scott Mitchell.. Doug Johnson... Steve Walsh...???

or, will he be the next STEVE YOUNG??

No, silly.

Don't start him until Staley comes back and until Beadles gets cut

This should also help potential offensive FAs want to come here. JG doesnt have a lot of film, but at least he do have a guy QB of the furture that came from NE and will be learning under Shanny. Thats a good look if youre a WR or Olineman looking for a new team.

This trade was a win on so many levels:

1) We get a player with a high chance of becoming a FQB, only giving up a 2nd round pick. Yes he's unproven, but he's much more proven than any rookie QB as he's actually performed highly in 2 regular season games and 12 preseason games against NFL caliber competition. Don't forget, he was in his own right a 1st round caliber QB prospect coming out of college so no he is nothing like Cassel/Hoyer who had undraftable grades and 2) he, unlike the other qb's, was legitimately seen as the future by the NE org but they were in a desperate situation knowing they couldn't keep both with Jimmy's demands to be a starter and Brady still balling out. The team that knows him as well as anyone refused to trade him at the top of his market because they truly saw him being their franchise after Brady.

2) While his contract is expiring we have total leverage with the franchise tag (this being his first time being tagged so will be a reasonable $23M). Worst case Jimmy and his agent are unreasonable in extension talks, this gives us 1.5 seasons to evaluate him rather than crippling ourselves with a huge money longterm deal on an unproven player. If after next year he still plays hardball we trade him or let him walk and get a 3rd round comp pick. That is worst case scenario. The Texans had to give up a 2nd round pick to offload Osweilers bad contract, that makes this 2nd round pick look like a steal because it gives us leverage to avoid another Osweiler and a potential FQB.

All of this. Evaluated for cheap in practice and maybe on the field in the next few months and if we STILL think we need a QB, we STILL have the OPTION of getting one with the 1st rounder in 2018. Brilliance all around.

Excellent point. But we have to get him game time to know for sure. And that is going to require something we don't have ....an OL.

Definitely, until Staley comes back.

Geez so uptight can't even joke in here. Well others can

I've learned what may read as an obvious joke to myself, others do not. end with a lo... /s.... /JK etc

So, lets assume JG starts after the bye week against Seattle and we get our ass kicked. How many zoners will be crucifying this trade as another Lynch/Kyle debacle?

So this just another "Matt Cassel" or "Ryan Mallet"?
