If they are rebuilding, why would Detroit sit on an asset like Matthew Stafford and let it spoil while they rebuild? The answer is they won't. Stafford has been there long enough and he isn't going to want to put up with rebuild either. Both sides are likely looking for a fresh start.

Most coaches know they only get 3 years to turn things around. So they don't nuke the team entirely. They're likely going to hire Saleh and defense is what they need to fix and also his specialty. I imagine he'll want to keep the o intact and just put all of his resources in getting his d.

The question is has Stafford had enough? He might force their hand.

Detroit could bring in prime Bill Walsh at HC / Mike Ditka at DC / Don Shula at OC and they aint turning things around in three years. At best Salah goes in there and gets them to 8-8 or 9-7 in a three years with a wild card spot. The franchise needs a good 5 years of a rebuild. Thats how little talent they have. They aren't going to keep Stafford bro.

Sorry dude he's not getting 5 years. That's not how the league works.

No idea if the answer is out there this off season so if he's back I really hope I'm wrong.

I'm not the biggest Jimmy G supporter but this just isn't true. We should have won the SB last year even with Jimmy stinking it up. The defense collapsed late in the game. You should have said Jimmy ALONE can't win us a SB. I would agree with that.

No, I should have said exactly what I said. I don't believe we can win a SB with Jimmy. That's all I said.

Agreed. Unless we form a 1986 Bears, 2000 Raven level defense. Then maybe. League has changed so much in the last 10 years, unless you can put up 40 at any time, deck is stacked against you. Add in the new mandate of never calling offensive holding on a pass play, you really need a potent QB driven offense. Average points scored by Super Bowl winner last 10 years: 30.

Why would Jimmy agree to restructure when hes going to be benched. And why the hell would you restructure his contract if you're moving on from him.

I think those are his plan A, B and C, not a "do all three" deal.

I had to do a double take, I thought the same as you at first.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Just do whatever it takes to get this guy. And then draft only OL, edge and CB.

Yeah, but that was a huge window to throw to.

That is almost certainly the case. The question is; what will it take to get Detroit to let him go?

The bidding will get crazy high rather quickly. A first and a fourth this year might be the starting point.

Jimmy or Matt as the starter with a RC QB backup or Darnold. I would feel more secure with the QB2 situation. Beathard does look a lot better!

LOL Matt Stafford if the highest paid QB as if the 49ers can afford him.

Since we are in the world of pure fantasy on this thread how come Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen are not on the poll?

It'll be Jimmy for next year. From a cost-to-value ratio perspective it makes sense, especially with the team hard against the cap. They'll try Jimmy for one more year and make a final decision after that season when the cap (presumably) goes up and the team is in better financial position to make some moves since a lot of other dead contracts will be off the books.
