I'd rather try to move that contract. I think money is going to be a big issue with this team soon. We have a lot of guys that will hit the market this offseason.

Idk maybe Mullens could hold fort for a year? Draft a QB in the first. But If we could move his contract, I'm game

I'm with you. Move the contract if it's possible.

IMO we're not going to the SB next year with or without Jimmy. Would rather keep 3-4 of our current players and one less Jimmy than keep Jimmy and pray he takes a giant leap forward with a lesser team around him.

Yeah, trading him maybe the prudent thing to do. We have a lot of our guys up for extensions and freeing up Jimmy's contract would help us do that. I wouldn't mind letting Mullens be the starter, with a rookie draft pick backing him up.

Back to 5-11 then for next year

Kind of a rhetorical question then, if this is your thought process either way, no?

Everyone already knows you love the guy.

Random question, doubt it happens but would you rather keep Trent Williams or Jimmy G? I say Williams all day.

William's, easy.

At this point, I would take Kwame Harris over Trashappolo

It seems like doesn't want to draft a bust QB, that's why he doesn't consider top qbs in the draft.

The team had to get back to winning quickly. The Harbaugh comparisons are coming this offseason.

Again Jimmy wasn't really a vet dude. If it was ALWAYS about winning quickly they would have traded the farm for Kirk back in 2017. This team has always been very vocal about how s**t takes time.

It's always been about long-term with them. They just happened to get a hell of a deal thrown on their laps with Jimmy. He severed his purpose and they should move on. Instead of saying "rookie bust" why can't you say a good young rookie who can at the very least run what is CURRENTLY this watered down passing offense until he get's more starts?

Yeah, Williams over Garopp-a-blows.

I don't think it's not wanting to draft a bust QB, but not wasting time getting the QB up to speed. KS was hoping to get Cousins as Cousins knew the system and did well in it.

Heck i wanted Cousins over Jimmy 5quarters before we traded for JG.

if we go rookie QB, it might be awhile before we do anything offensively. This is the route that will probably happen due to the CAP situation.

I don't see how a rookie QB couldn't run this watered down passing offense either It's not like Kyle is asking Jimmy to make all these ridiculous reads and throw all these tight window passes.

And like you said they would have cap space to make sure this roster as a whole stays good AND be able to add vets where they're needed. Toss in they should be able to grab some trade compensation for Jimmy as well.

Let him fully heal, see if he can come back at the end of the season because why not if he is healthy enough to play some more (assuming he gets no surgery)

re-structuring and cutting his pay would send a big message to him and the team. idk if that would be good. but they could roll with that and bring him back allowing another guy to sit behind him or something. I can't imagine just cutting Jimmy with no backup plan in place.

Unless we draft someone behind Mullens or Beathard? but isnt Mullens gone after this season possibly? idk.

and do what about his money? They have over 30 FAs and a ton of starters that need to get paid. This will NOT be a SB caliber roster next yr if everything stays status quo regarding his contract. IF they restructure him they can save some cash in 2021 BUT that leads to a massive cap hit in 2022. That leaves him on this roster thru 2022, makes him basically unmovable, and doesn't really help them overall in cap space (because you're signing guys past 2021).

At this point trading him to NE or the Bears for a top 50-75 pick and use that extra capital to help them move up for a QB. They can resign guys, add talent via FA at needed spots (have literally ONE DB signed), IMO at worse they probably end up with a similar passing offense yr 1 with the rookie.

I know how you feel about their chances next year, but if they're serious about getting back to the playoffs, a rookie behind Mullens/BEAThard is a terrible depth chart. But then again Russell Wilson was a rookie starter on a playoff team, and Dak. Lamar too.

You know Lynch would love some Kwame - Cardinals stick together!

I'm not saying to get rid of Jimmy for a rookie, I guess I am not sold on Mullens or Beathard as good backups, a good vet presence for a young QB, but that is Shanahan's job anyway.

They can't be serious about going back to the playoffs if they lose 90% of their free agents because they have no cash

Big ben took his team to the SB his rookie yr. He had a top end roster around him....when people look at rookie QBs more often then not they're starting on horrible teams. SF is not a horrible team, especially if they had cash to resign their guys and upgrade. Dak didn't have a horrible roster nether did Lamar.

Also let's stop acting like Kyle was asking Jimmy to make all these crazy reads and these big time passes. This passing game is watered down to shovel passes, quick outs, 4 yard slants etc.

If Jimmy didn't cost $27M, if SF didn't have over 30 free agents, if we couldn't get some reasonable trade comp for Jimmy, and SF wasn't in dire need of some serious cap relief....I'd be down to keep him in 2021 and let a top 20 pick rookie develop behind him.

Like Beathard?

If they have a losing season next year, Kyle's job is on the line for the year after that.
