Told ya'll it would be a drawn out process. I got the "It will be announced before the game on Friday night" and the "It will be announced early this week" responses. Does anyone else want to take a wild guess? Even when it does happen, no one is trading for Jimmy G since he will be released anyway in a couple of weeks.

Yes. This is a punishment.

It sure does suck. I wish we could have gotten something in return for him.

Story confirmed by NBC @CSimmsQB: "I've heard this from players, ex-coaches there. He goes off radar all the time. Nobody can get in contact with him."

"They had to drive to his house and knock on his door 'Hello? are you alive??'"

this sounds way worse than I thought it'd be

I mean none of this should really be news to anyone cause we've been hearing it during his time here, in particular from Kittle. But yeah to your point; most definitely not what any team would want in a "franchise QB"

Breaking news.. in 1998 JG left the house one day and forgot to pet the family dog.. we go now to the local animal shelter for reaction and a community still reeling from his actions...

You should be eating up this latest bad press. It would be a solid way for you to backtrack even more than usual. You could say, "see, I was right all along, JG is really good, it's just this off field stuff that torpedoed his trade value." I mean, you've gone from, "JG is great," to "JG is very good," to "JG just wins," to "but his QBR was higher than...," to "JG is above average," to "JG is a solid starter," to "it's JG's injury,"...and now we have finally arrived at, "just release JG because no one is trading for him." You have moved goal posts more than these guys:

I mean it's weird behavior to be sure.

But I don't know what's to gain from this character assassination type stuff basically. It doesn't help the team and it certainly doesn't help Jimmy.

If one wants to criticize his play or abilities, well at times that went overboard as well but that's fair game.

I know the media is going to media regardless but this is kind of silly stuff. It's almost like presidential election type silly stuff like "Mitt Romney let his dog ride on top of his car and has binders of women."

"Jimmy G disappeared after signing a big contract and is some sort of weird horrible person."

Again, it's odd. Probably shouldn't have done it. But if he's more of a private person and that's just who he is than that's just who he is.

One can be a good team mate on the field, in the huddle, in the locker room during the season and still be kind of flaky and want to do their own thing away from everyone else.

I'm not trying to defend him so much. I mean in one sense you're ghosting your employer. It is in a very real sense disrespectful. Whether it's intentionally so or not.

But at the same time as usual people are just letting their overall less than great feelings about Jimmy color this as well.

I don't think Tom Brady is the greatest team mate. In fact, from a distance he seemed like a whiny, finger pointing douchebag his last year in New England. Obviously he's miles better as a quarterback compared to Jimmy though.
