We've lost touch with truly awful QB play. Most of these teams in play for Garoppolo are staring at their own version of Cody Pickett, JT O'Sullivan and Shaun Hill right in the face. Enjoy that.
Teams where Garoppolo would easily be the better option:
Carolina-Darnold/Over the hill Cam
Tampa-Kyle Trask/Blaine Gabbert
Denver-Drew Lock/Teddy Bridgewater
Pittsburgh-Mason Rudolph
Washington-Taylor Heinecke
Detroit-Jared Goff
All the 49ers need is one of these teams or any other to look at Garoppolo as someone that they can win with.
I'd add to this list:
Chicago-Jimmy would help them win more than Fields or Dalton this year
Houston-It's a mess there. Just fired their HC and Mills is probably not the answer. He did have some impressive games
Colts-Possibly. I think Jimmy for Wentz is a lateral move. The main difference is that Jimmy is not a douchebag and Wentz is. I live in Indy and Colts fans are already tired of Wentz.
Vikings-Probably not. I put this at a 2/10 chance. Maybe they are ready to move on from Kirk with their new regime?
Saints-Also a big question mark. I think Hill sucks and Winston was playing pretty well before he got injured. They may want stability at the QB position and make a play for Jimmy
Raiders-?...depends on what they do with Carr
Giants-Obviously need a QB, but I don't think Lynch or Kyle would do that to Jimmy. Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!
Dolphins-I think they jumped up to real contenders...I give it a 6/10 chance
I think there is a huge market for Jimmy and we will get a 1st. It sounds crazy but a bidding war will happen for Jimmy. I hope Lynch stays strong and drives up the price.
