re: 49ers allegedly have an offer on the table of 2 2nds for Jimmy G

Jimmy G will be traded for a single 2nd round pick or less. Book it. It will also be a good value for a contender. He gets way too much shite, sure he’s never going to be an elite QB, but he’s been an above average QB when healthy.

Well, you obviously don't like em. Again, if we DO like em as our starting qb, a 2nd is acceptable

Pot, meet kettle. Everyone of the teams listed are either actively looking for replacements, or view themselves as not having a franchise QB except for Jets.

If the Texans were looking for a QB, they would have asked for Baker as part of the deal from the Browns. They didn't.

Pittsburgh is going to draft a QB and roll with Trubisky for now. It's their plan and everyone knows it.

Falcons would need to trade Ryan first, and there is no point in taking that type of dead money hit so you can just sign someone like Jimmy G, when you could draft a rookie with your first round picks you just didn't lose on Watson.

NYG maybe, but they seem dead set on making Jones work since the GM refuses to accept his mistake for drafting him so high.

Colts maybe, but they are interested in Mayfield.

Miami is riding with Tua right now.

In the end, could those teams upgrade? Perhaps. Reality is though that you have Winston, Mayfield and Jimmy G available still. No team is going to just overpay for a guy like Jimmy who never balled out in a system like Shanahan runs that makes it even easier for QBs to succeed.

Lol yeah sure John you keep holding out for them 2 1st round picks

Texans with Davis. Lol

Did you watch him play at all last season? He steadily progressed as the season grew and will be the best QB to come out of that draft. He was a highly touted, 5 star recruit and had the best combine out of all the rookie QB's.

Safe to say the Falcons are interested in a QB.

Yep, no doubting that now I wonder if they were originally looking, or if the Watson thing screwed them up because now they burned that bridge.

I think people are really underestimating his shoulder injury. Not that he can’t come back and play well, but as someone who’s had 2 shoulder surgeries, you are never the same once you’re cut on. Brees is an outlier, but he was 26 with a huge chip on his shoulder (no pun intended) to come back and prove everybody—mainly the Chargers—wrong. Obviously Jimmy will have the best surgeon, the best PTs in the world, and all day every day to rehab. But at his age, I don’t think there’s any guarantee he’ll ever have the same arm strength he had prior, and it never seemed to be a huge strength of his game anyway.

That said, if you really like him, I’d give up a 2nd to get him. It’s not the compensation that would scare me off. It’s the putting all your eggs in that basket when he won’t be able to throw until June. So if he’s not right or has a setback, there’s no time (or other QBs) for a decent plan B. Probably have to rock with Ian Book to start the season.

But I’d rather sign Jameis. He’s younger, has always had a stronger arm, is coming off a “better” injury for a QB, has been in the building for 2 years, and we wouldn’t have to give up anything to get him. I think he’s got an obviously higher upside than Jimmy G, but all things considered, I think he’s the safer play as well.

Uh, quite a bit of openings left. Saints, Texans, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Carolina, Colts, Atlanta (?) Giants (?) Jets (?)

Uhh negative. Texans are going with Mills, Pitt is going with Trubisky or Rudolph, Colts have Ryan now, Jets just drafted their qb with a high first. Seattle maybe going with Lock, not sure. Carolina still owes Darnold alot of $. Atl is tanking so they don’t care.
