re: Why did San Francisco draft a QB at #3 if they weren't going to use him right away?

What about joe burrow, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, Jets QB, and I will throw Fields in this conversation.

1. They didn't take a year off between their last college year and first NFL year. 2. They didn't play in FCS. 3. They were either superior to or close enough to the bad incumbent starter that they might as well take the first team reps.

If you don't recognize that the hiatus alone is sufficient reason to not rush a QB out there particularly when there's already a better Day 1 option on the team (who's already taken his team to the Super Bowl) you're beyond redemption.

you are saying he is too weak minded to be playing?

I'm saying there is no fairy tale outcome for the 21-22 Niners in throwing a QB who took 2020 off to the wolves when the rest of the team is more than capable of a deep run and he can be eased into things. I don't know why this is such a challenging concept to grasp, but pulling for you to get it.

I believe San Francisco knows he will not live up to this pick, and they will not admit it

I don't think you're particularly in tune with the Niners thinking if you genuinely thought someone so raw was going to supplant Garoppolo in a single offseason after not playing the year before.

If I was Jimmy G, I would ask for a trade, go where he is the man

He will have one year left on his contract after this year and the Niners will happily oblige him.
