Still trade him. Maybe for a 1st round pick. Extend Debo and Bosa and remain competitive for years to come.

Keeping Jimmy and risking loosing other key players is a very risky proposition. Jimmy has an injury history. Lance needs reps. And we have a supporting cast that is ready to win now. We also don't have much draft capital to replenish that supporting cast.

We've got to trade him.

I totally get that, but with this roster, to tale advantage of the rookie deal you need to have someone who can play asap. Having someone develop during his rookie contract is counterintuitive.

Throw away 10+ years of your team then? No thanks.

From what I've seen, Lance will surely be able to take the reigns day 1 next year.

How's Jordan Love doing sitting for multiple years? Dude looked lost out there this yr. ONE example of someone sitting for years doesn't make it the case or every player. Jimmy is not Favre. GB did NOT give up 3 1sts and a 3rd for Rogers, he fell into their laps.... Rookie QB contracts are gold and you're letting it rot on the sidelines.

We don't know how well or not Love is developing. My example just means that there is a successful example of a QB sitting for 2-3 years behind a starter. Doesn't mean it will work eveytime.

Trust me, I'm ready to move on to Trey as well. But.....do you discard a SB winning QB(hypothetically speaking) the following year?

Jimmy's contract will prevent other signings but it will be a discount for a QB who has won a SB, other than Big Ben who is in his last year.

Plus he's adored in the locker room and throughout management.

I'm just saying, it's going to be a hard decision if we win the whole thing this year. There are plenty of good points to let Jimmy go, but winning the SB would make one question if it's even the right thing to do. Kyle isn't going to hand a SB winning team over to Trey just to satisfy all the 1st rounders given up for him. Especially if he feels Jimmy can run it back and Trey needs more seasoning
That would be a nice decision for Kyle to have to make but they're still a long way from a SB win.
The thing is, Jimmy has ranged from below to above average...nothing special. They don't win because of Jimmy. If he leads them to a SB, great, we could probably get a 1st round pick for him, recouping one that we spent on Trey. Jimmy isn't some kind of hard to replace talent.

On locker room leadership, Trey is also beloved as a player, and I don't think his personality or his rookieness will be a hinderance next year if Jimmy is traded. These are professional athletes and will do their jobs as best as possible whoever the QB is. They will get behind Trey as long as Trey himself is a professional.

I saw some dimes that Trey threw in the Texas game that looked Jimmy-esque, and i was away. I think Trey is ready to take over, and keep in mind Kyle isn't going to hand the QB reigns over to somebody who isn't ready. Kyle didn't just give Jimmy the QB 1 positon right away when he was traded for either, Kyle let Jimmy incubate for a whole month before he started those last 5 games in 2017.

Those last 5 games came against teams that went 6-10, 4-12 and 2-14 plus 2 teams that had their playoff spot locked up. It was a good time to throw Jimmy in against teams without much on the line.

At some point before the start of the 2022 season, there will be a competition between Trey and Jimmy, and whether its on the field or whether it's in Kyle's mind or whether as a group the entire coaching staff does a secret vote, there is going to be a decision made as to who QB 1 will be. My bet is Trey. Having said that, if Jimmy does win lombardi #6, he does have a better shot at QB1 at that decision time moment. That particular moment (whenever and wherever it's going to be) is going to be the defining moment for 2022.

To win another SB will take an entire team effort and a defense that plays like it did last week. Even if 100% healthy Jimmy isn't going to throw for 360 yards and 4 TDs in the SB. That's not how this team wins. For that reason, I don't think a SB win will influence the decision one way or the other. The decision was made last April when they drafted Trey and gave up those draft picks. They were looking to the future and Jimmy's health issues and cap impact. Kyle stayed true to his plan when he stayed with Jimmy and resisted the talk about switching to Trey. Next year I expect him to make the best deal they can get for Jimmy and move on.

Consistency. His last couple of games he showed to be an inconsistent QB as always. 1 was a win, 1 was a loss.

He'd have to change that perception to be retained. Winning "because" of him, whatever that means, simply isin't enough.

It would be a tough spot for Shanalynch but at the same time an opportunity to establish legend status by winning it all with two different qbs in a short period of time.

The tough spot was last year. They made the deal: 3rd Overall Pick in exchange for 3 of our 1sts, plus change.

There's no longer any tough spots. The decision's been made.

We gave him a contract based on 5 games in 2017, like I said I really don't think it happens, but if he lights it up 4 straight weeks winning a Superbowl I don't see how you can move him.

Also base it on us getting something out of the 2nd rd. pick we gave up for him, and having no other worthy alternative @ QB. He was getting a contract regardless,...the only question was what would the worth of it be?

Right now, we'll be wanting to get something out of 3 1st round picks we spent even moreso than that 2nd for Jimmy,....and we do have a worthy alternative @ QB. And it's the same person that the 3 1sts were spent on.

Jimmy's a very likeable QB but let's @ least be realistic here.
