I'm not sure getting Brady would be the best move or not. Jimmy is a good QB, and it's really hard to get rid of a QB about to be in his prime for Brady who is not in his prime but still better than Jimmy. Honestly I wouldn't be mad if Brady was the QB because he still has enough savvy and league respect to likely win another SB with a loaded roster like the 49ers have. No player or coach would dare say make Tom Brady beat you with his arm on the 49ers like they did with Jimmy. This last SB would have been out of reach for the Chiefs by the time the 4th Quarter came, because with Brady the game would have resembled what Young 49ers did to the Chargers in our last SB win.
The only thing with Brady winning a SB with us and retiring immediately afterwards, is would we be in any position to aquire a talented enough QB to keep the train rolling? Make no mistake if Brady were to win another SB next season on a team other than the Patriots, he would walk away having proved he could do it without Belichick. If that's the 49ers where does that leave us going forward?
Having said that I think we have to stay with Jimmy who is just good enough to keep you in the SB conversation year after year. We can still draft and groom QBs as his backups in the years to come like New England has done despite having the Great Tom Brady at the helm.
Going after Brady would be one of the dumbest moves of all time. Forget Jimmy for a second Brady wants to play until he's 45 and is looking to be guaranteed 2 years minimum. Good luck to the chumps who end up paying him because he's already diminishing and won't get any better. The fact that Bill may let him walk with no backup plan says it all.
BB had his backup plan, and his name happens to be Jimmy Garoppolo. Problem is that Brady refuses to retire, Jimmy's rookie contract ends, and the Patriots couldnt pay them both. Therefore Jimmy gets traded to SF and we have our FQB now because of this scenario. Bill wanted Jimmy to replace Brady after his last contract ended but the Kraft's loyalty to TB was strong, so BB sent him here.
There's no possible way we're replacing a QB that is already good, with potential to be elite and is in his prime years. I agree with you, it would be the dumbest thing that ever happened in professional sports to put Brady in over Jimmy. Jimmy will only get better, and as you said, Brady is in full decline with only his name to prop him up now. It certainly isn't his play that's doing it.
