I agree with you, and didn't say we should fall on our swords for jimmy. What we would look like chumps for doing, would be to trade him to a bottom feeder, a la HOU. That would be met with pushback from the players. That would be how you could take the camaraderie of this team and flush it down le toilette.
We will look for a good trade for us, but keep in mind the fairness of it to Jimmy, too.
I never said anything about players caring where Jimmy goes. I'm talking about players getting traded and not wanting the team they're being trade to giving up anything for them. They have no control with that, nor should they...if they did, Rogers would be playing in SF and all we would have given up is a 2025 6th rd pick.
I also disagree that players would have any pushback if Jimmy ends up in say Texas...it's a NFL team that needs a starting QB. There's only 32 jobs like that in the world. Buck got traded to a 7-9 Colts team, where was the outrage of him going specifically there? I understand the term camaraderie and locker room stuff, but people in here act like these men are kids and not acting like this is their profession/business.
This isn't pop warner where you have to be "fair" and make sure everyone get's a chance to play QB. The team has a ton of respect for Jimmy and will do everything they can to help him go to a place he wants to go that will pay him AND give SF proper value, BUT end of the day that option might not exist and you have to move him because that's best for the TEAM, which is what matters to Lynch/Kyle.
It took you down to the last paragraph, but ultimately, we're essentially on the same page.
