That's fair, if we're winning because of things outside of QB play then what? The cap is a real thing with this team and if you can get Mullens to hold down the ship and save $45M, that's something to think about...if you're in a spot where a team is willing to give you some real trade assets for JG, that's something to think about....if we're in love we a QB draft prospect and make a move on him, that's something to think about
End of the day I just want to see Jimmy improve and ball out.
I think they are not restructuring Jimmy's contract basically to help in the Trent Williams signing next year, and possibly to absorb the dead money hit they would have to go through to get rid of Ford. I think they are going to rebuild the 49er secondary and defense with the 2021 draft picks, and need as much cap flexibility as they can to do that. I don't know if they can re-sign Sherman and some of the other DB's - with such a low cap ceiling they have, but if I was faced with that, I'd keep Jimmy's contract untouched for that simple reason.
Jimmy will be fine, he just needs his receivers healthy. He also just needs to get more reps with his offense (OLine, RB's, WR's Te's etc.. ) to get better. The more weapons Jimmy has, the better he'll be and the higher his ceiling becomes. It's a team game, not an individual sport - and one man's ceiling can raise another mans ceiling.
