When you consider the dropoff in performance, its not that hefty of a price to get some actual NFL level quarterbacking for a few seasons. Garoppolo is about as far above the Mason Rudolph/crap QB tier as he is below the Mahomes/Rodgers tier. Just look at the difference in the 49ers records with Garoppolo starting and guys like Mullens/Beathard. Having an experienced veteran that you can plug in as a starter and expect him to play reasonably well while you wait for your QBOTF isn't the worst thing.
