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. Fans may be upset by Garoppolo is not overly popular with 49ers fans so, unless Lance is primarily to blame for them going 0-5 I don’t think there will be much call to switch the QB. Now, in the media who, as we’ve seen, like to put as much pressure on the team as possible, it could be very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It's always tough to be the starter when the backup is the better player on day one. People can say that the competition is good, but it also doesn't allow for growing pains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. How about Mitch Trubisky last season? While he may not have been guaranteed the option to start for another team, he would have had the opportunity to earn a starting job with another team and instead elected to be a backup for the Bills. Volek and Trubisky aside, this seems to be a decent decision for everyone involved. Jimmy avoids being cut or ending up on a team where he doesn't want to be, still picks up a nice paycheck, has potential to start and earn more money if (and when?) Lance fails, and he's a UFA next season with full control over where he goes. And who knows what's going on with him personally? Maybe he likes living in the Bay Area and doesn't want to leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trubisky signed with the Bills in March of last year... more than 5 months earlier than Garoppolo restructured this year. Trubisky could have played the waiting game but chose to be a backup in a solid organization rather than being a starter for a crap organization. Now he's starting for the Steelers. Pretty good play by Mitch. 1 hour ago, buffaloboyinATL said: That is definitely choosing the evil you know. 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. Exactly. Why would he go to a team after missing OTAs, training camp, and preseason? What are his chances of success and boosting his career given those circumstances?

Most sides elect the former; Josh, for example, had the fearsome competition of Peterman and Barkley, rather than someone who has Super Bowl appearances against his name, which meant he was allowed to sort through his issues and gremlins without a threat hanging over him.

Jerome007 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 3 hours ago, cba fan said: 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. It makes sense to me! And it does to the 49ers too if Lance is hurt or doesn't pan out as planned. They had to have quite the salary cap space to pay a backup that much, but what position is more important than QB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sides elect the former; Josh, for example, had the fearsome competition of Peterman and Barkley, rather than someone who has Super Bowl appearances against his name, which meant he was allowed to sort through his issues and gremlins without a threat hanging over him. The big problem I see is that SF went to the NFC championship game last year and is viewed as ready to win now. If Lance struggles, do they act like a team with championship aspirations, or do they accept that they're in a QB rebuild and take the growing pains which might cause them to go from the NFC championship game to out of the playoffs. We've seen coaches bail on young QBs during the drought. In 2005 JP got yanked for Kelly Holcomb & more recently EJ got yanked for Kyle Orton. In each case there was talk of the coach having to make the switch in order not to lose the locker room. So, does SF have the intestinal fortitude to keep sending out a struggling Lance, or do they go for more instant gratification with Garoppolo? Interesting that both Mularkey & Marrone quit after the season that they pulled the young QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The more time Jimmy G spends away from starting, the less others will view him as a starter. I think it's a mistake. He should have demanded to be out of there and competed for a stating spot this year. Unless, of course, he doesn't care that much about playing.

Utah John Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I don't think any teams wanted to trade a fair price for Garoppolo because of his huge contract cost. This deal actually makes it more likely that after a year, he can go find himself a starting job, or a shot at a starting job. It's better than getting cut and having to latch on wherever he could find a job. And getting paid only $6.5M to be a backup for a year oh boo hoo, I don't think anyone feels sorry for him.

If we get to the super bowl, it’s going to be us against the Niners. I don’t like that matchup either except their O line is shaky outside of Trent Williams as you mentioned. By that point, Lance will either have it figured out or Jimmy is back in and he knows how to run that offense. Chavarious Ward was a sneaky good pickup at corner for them too and he’s more than held his own against Diggs in the playoffs for the chiefs. They’re an extremely physical team, not sure I like the matchup at all for us.
