What if Trey Lance is really not ready? They want to bring Jimmy G back to start another year. Lance sits 2 years. Jimmy G plays out his contract.
If he's not ready? Well, the only thing he has to do is throw a measly 20 tds and 12 ints NOT counting what he brings with his rushing ability and ability to make and extend plays which we saw in the Houston game. (You know the defense that whipped Herbert the week prior).
What a low bar, so he doesn't have to be "ready" just manage the game and play like a bottom 10 qb.
He doesn't manage the game well. His reads are wild. Like the interception in the Houston game to the left sideline. He didn't see the coverage. He doesn't see everything right now. That's part of not being ready.
As for Jimmy G he was hurt some of the year. Still played well. He made the NFC Championship Game. He made the final 4. With multiple injuries. So it really wasn't that bad.
Ok, now go through each of Jimmy's 38 interceptions and explain how the above doesn't apply to him.
Lance contributed more to the team making the NFC Championship game by not being a net negative in the playoffs like Jimmy was.
LOL. What? Lance didn't get us to 2 NFC Championship Games and 1 Super Bowl in 3 years. Jimmy G did that. If we bring Jimmy G back for another year we can make another run. Or we can play a QB who is not ready and likely tanks the season.
Strange that literally zero other teams wanted Jimmy if he's that capable. Even Mariota and Trubisky were more valued than Jimmy.
And before it's brought up, no team offered us two second rounds picks for Jimmy. The only two seconds that belong in this discussion is in reference to the amount of time it would take us to agree to trade him to any team willing to give us absolutely anything for him at this point.
He's injured, coming off surgery and has a high salary. All coming into play. It's not that he can't play or holds no value. He mostly wins regular season and playoffs. He has value.
As for offers they had or currently have you will never know for sure. It's possible the still get something for him. Or have or had an offer on the table.
San Diego, I can't believe you actually said Trey does not see coverage when that is the fatal flaw of Jimmy Garoppolo. You've got to use another example. If you want to use wild passes then you might want to address some of Jimmy's horrible wild passes. Jimmy still makes rookie mistakes that Trey Lance makes and I think you definitely have blinders on. Every criticism you have of Lance more than applies to Jimmy Garoppolo.
The only difference is Jimmy has a better completion percentage but that could also be because he throws short to intermediate passes a lot more than Lance does. Now if we go and analyze what Lance does better it would be:
-throwing the deep ball
-throwing outside the numbers
-extending plays with his feet
-throwing for touchdowns while escaping pressure (like that beautiful one in the Houston game)
-running for first downs and escaping pressure.
Bottom line. The benefits of Lance today far outweigh the benefits of Jimmy Garoppolo..
