Da fuq lol? Why give a division rival any sort of advantage? JG is better than anyone they currently have and may have incite on any tendencies of this offense or even Lance. It typically takes 17 games on film for the league to figure out a QB, why speed that up just for them.

I get it, we are a superior team why be afraid of anyone blah blah blah. It's competition and gamesmanship, we were one inch and one game from going from homefield advantage to a wildcard in 2019. We were a miraculous comeback and one game away from not even making the playoffs last year. Keep any advantage you can and deny other teams that benefit... its not f*ckin rocket science when it comes to competitive sports lol.

Someone made this point a few days ago, and I will repeat it. If teams signing their division rivals former players gave them a competitive advantage, why is this not standard practice? If signing your rivals players truly helped give them incite and knowledge on the team was actually a real thing, wouldnt this be standard practice in the NFL?

Since it is far from standard practice, logic tells us that this isnt an actual thing.

because that comment wasnt well thought out or logical. it's an apples and oranges comparison. there's a huge difference between a division rival signing a back up TE or 3rd CB and signing a starting QB who's been in the system for five years. the QB brings far more knowledge of the scheme and philosophy behind it to the rival than a positional player.

and you dont see a starting caliber QB being made available to a division rival often at all.

The starting caliber is irrelevant to the point. Because this is about scheme and bringing knowledge of his former team to the new team. I agree with you, that QBs have far more knowledge about scheme and philosophy than position players. So why arent teams desperately trying to pluck their rivals backup QBs then?

"starting caliber" is very relevant in the case of JG. see Sando's 2022 list of opinions from NFL HCs and execs. Jimmy ranks 16th.

Its relevant in general. It has nothing to do with signing a division rivals QB, which is all I was responding about. So in terms of this specific line of speaking, its completely irrelevant. To your point (which wasnt what I was talking about), its relevant.

For 12 days? I won't thanks. Lol

The team has proven time and time again they're willing to pay Jimmy G despite the outside noise. Just saying, I wouldn't be shocked if he's still a Niner by the start of the season, in name only at least. Of course a lot of people aren't going to be happy about that.

By "time and time again" do you mean his one singular contract?

How many times have the so called experts claim in the last year or 2 "there's no way the 49ers are going to keep Garoppolo with his current contract, they plan on cutting him if they don't reconstruct "?….

Brady pulls a last min retirement, Jimmy to the Bucs. Boo-ya

LMFAO. Now we are hoping and praying for a Brady retirement.

Everyone should. One less contender in the NFC to worry about

F that our team is good enough to beat them. If we win a SB, I want to beat teams at their best.

49ers haven't won a super bowl since 1994. Im willing to bet most on here were young children watching VHS tapes and playing Snes or Sega's back then,today they most likely are in their 30s and possibly have kids of their own. I personally don't care how they get, just win one more super bowl before I die

Agreed, we were one dropped Int away from the SB with a patchwork secondary signed off the street or CBs that didnt even play for a year cause of Covid. A good player missing from every level, Colton starting at tackle, JG with a bum arm.... I dont care what the other team is dealing with we had more hurdles than any team played in the playoffs.

I love the mentality of wanting to face the best 1v1, like wrestling for the state championship so no one can say "Well that guy was injured..." But in a team sport, f*ck that, "just win baby!"

Now or never. Cut before the 31th..

I wonder if they'll carry him beyond the next cut. There are other players that maybe more valuable at this point.

They will carry him till the 53 cut. It was already stated. People wanting him cut now are doing it for personal reasons not any logical football decisions.

Before our trade with the Dolphins? I'd say very little. If any.

We flirted with Tom Brady but cmon... it's Brady.

As far as the reconstructed contract goes... many fans of Jimmy were taking that idea as some sort of personal attack. I heard from several posters that Jimmy would be traded for a high draft pick and make MORE money with his next team. That turned out to be wrong.

But its clear to me now that had he in fact restructured his current deal... he would of been way more desirable in free agency.

So maybe all those people that were called haters for advising Jimmy to restructure... were actually right.

Maybe they're trying to cut him now, but can't get a hold of him.

Lol 0% chance he's here past 13 days

Hope Brady retires and we can send him to Bucs for something.

You believe there is a chance that JG coming back from surgery and injury prone with a salary they want off the books who hasnt even taken one practice snap all summer will be on the roster without a crazy string of injuries to the current QBs on the roster? Damn... please pass what you are smokin

If there was any thought of keeping Jimmy G past the 53 man cut down you'd think he would at least be in meetings.

He doesn't even have a playbook.
