Airseven Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Great deal and maybe best possible outcome for the 49ers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I suspect that Trey Lance will eventually be a franchise QB.. but Jimmy G is a nice insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still be traded if he agrees to the trade. There are teams he might want to go to and this contract makes him a more attractive trade target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) good deal for Garoppolo. Now will be unrestricted FA QB next year w no tag possible per agreement and as soon as season ends. Taking advantage of team's interest before the draft of new QB's. This gives him more options than right now as QB's are pretty set around league. With more than plausible chance Trey Lance struggles and Garoppolo comes in for short sample size. If it happens, he gets incentives if he gets hot and his FA value jumps more too. His agent did good. Edited August 29, 2022 by cba fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Jimmy his own agent? The agent was already paid for the first contract. Any agent repping JG now starts fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll side with Schefter's conclusion: The contract contains no-trade and no-tag clauses, assuring Garoppolo will remain in SF this season and have the freedom to leave in 2023.

That’s the only explanation, that he likes the backup job. Billy Volek is the only other QB I can recall who favored being a backup over starter opportunities. Our beloved Frank Reich before him had a pretty good gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud17 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 He will be starter eventually. Way better than Lance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he knows what he is facing in San Fran, he could have easily landed in a much worse situation, and he did not want to take that chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I would love to know more about the behind the scenes here. I wonder if the Browns wanted him and either Jimmy didn’t want to go or the 49ers refused to bail them out. I wonder if the Seahawks wanted him but the 49ers wouldn’t trade him within the division. Ultimately, I would think this was Jimmy’s first choice. Stay healthy for the year and hit the market when quite a few teams are looking. 2023 teams potentially looking for a QB: Seahawks Lions Jets Dolphins Ravens Bears Saints Bucs Panthers Commanders Giants Gonna be a crazy off-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Guess this confirms the Seahawks commitment to the tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I still think Jimmy G is the SF insurance policy for if Lance struggles. I think they, the 49ers and JG, know it. They have a SB caliber roster, especially on defense. I don't think Shanahan or Lynch throw that away on a rookie's growing pains (basically what he is), if it does happen. Maybe Lance looks good, but better to be safe than sorry. Edited August 29, 2022 by H2o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: Well this has possible down the road QB controversy written all over it. It sure does. Lance is very clearly a work in progress, and there are going to be days where he will look like the biggest contributor to a loss. Fans are going to get upset. When you decide to go with your high draft-pick, instead of a guy who looks like a quality starter, you've got to get rid of the other guy. These guys aren't Favre and Rodgers, but when it was time to go with Rodgers, it was time to get Favre out of town. When the Bills decided to go with Manuel, Fitzpatrick left town. Jimmy G is an interesting problem. He's about as good as a QB can be without being a certifiable franchise QB. He and Cousins. Difficult to trade.

Favre retired (first time) after a great season in 2007. They didn't get rid of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
