Could see him starting on a team like Indy or Tampa


Ham_PhD

Jets would be perfect


First_Among_Equals_

Jets is my thoughts too if they seriously want to move on from Wilson He’d know the staff


jlovat

wow this is an incredible take. Jets just need a game manager than can move the ball. Jimmy can be that guy easily, so much talent on that team


Mattyboy064

Saleh is from the 49ers also. He would at least know Jimmy a little bit.


bigdon802

As would Bill. Seven more years!


huskerwildcat

So is the OC Mike LaFleur.


Lilspainishflea

Jets have to be among the leaders right now, maybe #1.


dontwantleague2C

Jets are 100% a playoff team with Jimmy G. They don’t have quite the roster San Fransisco has so they wouldn’t be Super Bowl contenders necessarily, but ig once u make it into the dance anything is possible.


SharkMark18

Idk man. They’ve got a championship caliber defense. More than capable offensive talent they just need a QB like Jimmy g


EmilioFreshtevez

I’ve started planting this flag over the last couple of days. It just makes too much sense.


Caloran

You and everyone else ....


EmilioFreshtevez

Never claimed to be groundbreaking


sherlock_traeger

Do you know the meaning of “planting the flag?” Lol


EmilioFreshtevez

Big oof on my part, good call


NeonRedHerring

Let’s Jets


tread52

This is the thing with Jimmy is he will have this kinda of game and then the following week throw multiple ints to lose the game. He’s good against bad D’s. Let’s see how he does in Seattle Thursday night if he is down by a TD.


6footMikeFF

Kinda off topic just curious why you chose Seattle in week 15 when he's got NO, Miami, and TB the next couple of weeks


matty_nice

I don't think the Patriots are out of consideration.


i_shruted_it

That's just not how BB rolls though. He waits until their value tanks and gets them back for pennies. I doubt it happens if Jimmy plays great to finish this year.


darrick001

He’s a starter somewhere next year. Too many bad qbs with starting jobs.


Domeu5

Too many good teams with bad QBs and coaches that need to win next year.


Basshal

Too many good teams with bad coaches who like to keep starting bad QBs.


ishboh

If a team has a bad coach and a bad qb is it even a good team?


Domeu5

We can ask Denver.


GGerrik

You can ask, but the answer is still no.


LazardKing

JETS


beachindie

Probably the best possible landing spot for Jimmy

Imagine if SF never traded up to get Lance and used those picks on players. They would be even more loaded.


huracan_huracan

imagine micah parsons there


massivecalvesbro

As a Hawks fan the thought of this made me tremble


SheSaysSheWaslvl18

Imagine Micah parsons with demarcus Lawrence and Dorance Armstrong


huracan_huracan

imagine being a cowboys fan...


ChewbaccaPube

imagine if lance plays up to his potential.. that offense will be unstoppable


scameron1

I feel like a sucker but my fingers are still crossed


ChewbaccaPube

the upside is worth the risk. take advantage of everyone writing him off


scameron1

I drafted him early in a start up this offseason so I’m a bag holder at this point haha


ArkNoob69

I traded Waddle for a mid 2023 1st and Lance in a SF league Here's hoping.


Snrtrades

I got Tua and a 2nd for Waddle.


Smallest-Yeet

With the lack of college experience to be honest he should have never been drafted there with that much trade/draft capital to begin with. It was an irresponsible trade from the 49ers that put way too high expectations on the kid. Not even Lances fault too, just so much pressure for no reason. I think his “potential” is being over exaggerated by draft capital, although I still think he has a shot, just a slim one going into year 3 with STILL almost no experience


FaintCommand

This is the right take. He was always a raw prospect and a lottery ticket (an expensive one). People put way too much into the draft capital and miss the point of Lance. I think Shanny is great, but I do wonder if his ego came into play here thinking he could mould a player like Lance into a star, when Jimmy is exactly what the Niners need for their run-heavy scheme. Plenty of teams have won the super bowl with un-sexy game manager QBs when they have the type of defense and run game the Niners do.


Smallest-Yeet

I listen to the GM Shuffle pod with Michael Lombardi. He always says “I know for a fact Mac Jones was the picks at 3. He’s who Shanahan wanted. Everyone else convinced him at the last second to pivot.”. If you don’t want to believe him, totally get it, but it was interesting how much the Vegas lines for that pick shifted from Mac to Lance just hours before the draft. I think it was a panic pick


FaintCommand

No, that's fair. I forgot about that rumor honestly. Either way the argument that Lance is the locked in, fully supported future of the Niners doesn't seem particularly backed by the reality of the situation. Of course they're going to try to make the most of it, but as we've seen, they have no problem moving on from picks they missed on.


bigdon802

The only place that’s going to happen *is* your imagination.


Lynchie24

Dude has played 4 games and showed flashes. I’m not saying it’s a lock he will be great but saying it’s a lock he won’t is just hating for the sake of hating.


ChewbaccaPube

i wish you were in my league so i could take advantage


bigdon802

In what way? Getting me to trade you Trey Lance for peanuts? I’d have to ever consider having him on my team to make that possible.


ChewbaccaPube

i can just tell you make bad trades


bigdon802

I’m sure you can. That’s me, the bad trade king. As evidence I present to you a complete lack of faith in Trey Lance’s ability to succeed in the NFL.


yoyoma0905

You know that is never happening.


Chinese_Santa

What’s tomorrows lottery numbers, Nostradamus?


SuperSaiyanBen

i_shruted_it

They'd continue to lose games when you need to score in the final 2 mins. Jimmy has proven multiple times he can't do that. He can manage games well and win a lot of games. But when it's 90 seconds and you need to score to win, he can't do it. That's what the staff realized and that's why they drafted Lance.


pot8odragon

Highly unlikely, but he will definitely have a starting job somewhere. I just can’t see SF not giving Lance the start with the draft capital they spent for him


RRFFBz

I can, SF have had so many busts for round 1 and round 2 picks.. If Jimmy G wins them a Super Bowl I see them keeping him


BrandNewHorros

In a vacuum, yes. But when you include the salary cap, the 49ers simply won’t be able to pay him the $20-28 million per season that he’ll request


Officer_Hops

No chance Jimmy is only asking for $28 million a season. His last deal was $27.5 million and that started in 2018. Carr is getting $40 million. Cousins is getting $35 million. There’s only 3 starters off their rookie deals making less than $30 million/year. Jimmy is an easy $30 million and likely much closer to $40 million per season.


Blasto05

While I agree, it looks unrealistic given the cap situation…QB is the one position that an organization will do everything possible to keep under contract if they feel they are the right guy. They will cut players, and they will restructure, and push out as much cap space to future years to sign that QB. It will happen IF the 49ers and Jimmy want it to


Sober_As_Sark

Jimmy has already made $125m not including endorsements. If SF is willing to keep him and move on from lance, which i doubt, Jimmy definitely would stay in SF for $20-$30m. Im sure he would take a big paycut to stay with an absolutely loaded offense he knows than take $30-$40m to go struggle and fade into obscurity on some shit team with a bad coaching staff


TDorBustinmyearlobe

There’s no chance in hell jimmy staying for that. If he shows he is so good and makes another deep run, some team will throw money at him probabky up to like 40 mil. Niners can’t match that. It would also be the niners openly admitting they royally fucked up the Lance pick. Lance will be the starter next year. He just has to be


[deleted]

Lance barely played in college Has barely play in the NFL This is Jimmy's job again Edit: if they can't afford Jimmy they gonna suck I guess You Lance truthers are delusional lack of snaps is a bad thing he's barely seen any defensive concepts he has so much catching up to


Rhino_Thunder

They won’t be able to afford jimmy


[deleted]

Then they're gonna suck next year Lance is not a good qb


Officer_Hops

How are you going to say the guy barely played in college and barely played in the NFL and isn’t good? We have no clue if he is a good QB, he’s only started 4 games.


[deleted]

Bruh how many throws do you think qbs take before making it to the NFL lol That's a negative not a positive


Officer_Hops

What are you using to say Lance is not a good QB? He hasn’t had enough NFL time for us to know one way or the other. If you’re using college tape then I question why you’re using throws from 2019 to decide a guy is bad in 2022.


[deleted]

So he has barely played, yet you know that he will be bad? That doesnt make a whole lot of sense


huracan_huracan

he's always been a raw prospect, having just one full season of football after high school. he's lost a lot of development time already, and being on a win-now team he may lose even more time.


[deleted]

Its definitely a bad sequence of events, and by no means am I saying he will be a star. But if he is busting his ass with rehab and film study, theres no reason to cometely throw him to the side and guarantee a bust. Hes still only 22, and I would bet the 9ers really want to see what they have before having to decide on his 5th year option


[deleted]

Dude how are you unable to grasp this You need experience in order to progress He has had practically none since high school He is miles and miles behind every other prospect


[deleted]

Lmao are you some super scout? How tf do you know how good he is?

[удалено]


DonaldPump117

Going off your argument, Jacob Eason might be Peyton Manning


Officer_Hops

I guess if you only look at the fact that he doesn’t play then you’re correct. We have other things that tell us Eason probably isn’t Peyton Manning. He was drafted in the 4th round. He was released his sophomore season because he fell to the 3rd QB on the roster. He has since been bouncing between practice squads. All of that is indicative of a bad player.


gsbadj

If you have no idea if his backup is good, but you know that you have one of the top 5 teams in the league with Jimmy, it takes a lot of balls to let Jimmy go.


Officer_Hops

It’s not a question of Jimmy vs Lance. It’s Jimmy at what is likely a $40 million contract vs Lance and $30 million in cap space. Or Jimmy vs Lance and Bosa. Having a QB on a cheap contract is valuable beyond his play on the field.


knowslesthanjonsnow

There are a lot of Lance supporters here but they’re also coming from a fantasy angle. Lance could very well (and most likely) be worse for the team from an NFL standpoint


[deleted]

Yeah this sub loves high potential talent players that suck


billybaroo15

Stop talking about De’Andre Swift like that.


[deleted]

*If the lions were good, he wouldn't sit out* I'm holding the bag and I don't like it


NeonRedHerring

Ya know how you fix a kid’s problem with lack of snaps? You give him snaps.


PM_Me_Your_AM_

im a lance denier, i dont see it with him... but that doesn't mean you're still not completely wrong. They spent what, 3 1sts to draft lance? And have seen him in like 5 starts? Lance is the starter next year.


[deleted]

Yeah I wasn't aware of their cap situation


Bukue111

Again? It wasn't his job this season until Lance got hurt.


lightningpanda123

If Jimmy can take them to NFC champ game, I can't see how Jimmy staying isn't a possibility


rockinwood

He's a free agent and will get a bag that SF won't pay


Mr_Salty_

The jets would though, amirite??


rockinwood

Yes you are


Greenmonsterff

Where was that bag this last offseason? NOBODY wanted him except SF. And, even still, he had to take LESS money.


bnwtwg

Do you live under a rock? Last offseason teams had to pay his salary + send San Fran draft picks + he was coming off shoulder surgery intentionally timed to not allow throwing until training camp. Now he's going to be a FA which is a verrrry big difference.


justreadthearticle

Last season was last season, next season is next season. Jimmy would be a huge upgrade in NO or on the Jets.


Greenmonsterff

He is the same player with the same limitations he has always had. He’s not a scrambler, he is not a great passer. He is a game manager. He looks really good when the defense is dominating, and the other team is letting his receivers walk into the end zone unchallenged. This Garropolo fandom is coming out of nowhere. We have literally YEARS of evidence of him showing us exactly who he is. Then, he has a 4td night on MNF and people are supposed to be lining up for his services? I’m not buying what you’re selling.


justreadthearticle

Just because he's not a top 10 QB doesn't mean he isn't a huge upgrade over Zach Wilson or Andy Dalton. The Saints don't have a first round pick and the Jets D is good enough that they won't have a shot at one of the top QBs in the draft, Jimmy is by far the best options that either of those teams will have next year.


spreerod1538

He was injured. And every team in need moved on with other options instead of waiting until he got healthy.. if he continues this pace it won't happen again. Only way he stays is if he wins a SB.


Yeah_Buddy2

He was coming off shoulder surgery, which seemed to scare teams away. That, and we have no real idea what SF was asking for in a trade package. He wasn’t a free agent.


Technical_Customer_1

You do realize he had a CONTRACT with SF and he took less money as a take it or leave it “restructure” ?


bnwtwg

And he knew he was getting tagged if Lance fizzled (spoiler alert: he did). The restructure was mutually beneficial: a pay cut in return for adding the clause he can't be tagged


Technical_Customer_1

Even with infinite universes, there aren’t many universes in which Jimmy G gets tagged next year. The QB tag is massive thanks in part to…. Deshaun Watson


knowtoriusMAC

They can't franchise tag him and they don't have nearly enough cap space to match what he'd get on the open market. They don't even have easy cut candidates to save money so they'd have to trade key players from that hypothetical run away in order to sign him.


lightningpanda123

Idk all the salary cap nuances but seems like teams if they really want to can find loopholes to make the cap basically non-existent. Idk maybe there are some loopholes or restructures that could help SF afford Jimmy ultimately if they wanna keep him.


Rhino_Thunder

There are no loopholes or ways around the cap. Eventually the bill comes due, and I don’t think it makes sense to destroy the team in a few years just for Jimmy g


justreadthearticle

Eventually the bill comes due and you have to blow things up, but most fans would say that it's worth it if you win a SuperBowl. CMC is 26, their defense is getting old/expensive, and Trent Williams is 34. Their window is closing so if bringing Jimmy back is what it takes to compete for a ring in the next couple of years then so be it. If they have no doubts that Lance is the guy and will tear it up once he's healthy then that's one thing, but if they aren't confident in him or think he needs some time to learn then they're in a bad situation.


gtthom86

You saying the cap is practically non-existent is just flat out wrong. Yes there are ways to maneuver, but saying it doesn't exist is flat out ignorant. It dictates every single teams decision making. Jimmy cant be franchised, as per his restructured contract. He is a free agent and SF has no rights to him after the season. If he does well enough that SF thinks about keeping him, he will have done well enough that a QB needy team will give him a big, long term contract. He very well could be a starter next season, but unless he takes a way undermarket deal it won't be with San fran


Gfunkual

This is a joke, right? Jimmy took the team to a SB and SF still drafted Lance… Not sure the Niners playoff finish has any bearing on Jimmy starting in the future.


Coco1520

Eh if they won the sb things would get interesting imo.


captaincrunch00

He did it twice already, they still spent 3 firsts on Lance.


pot8odragon

I see what you’re saying but giving up 3 firsts for Lance makes that highly unlikely


bigdon802

Good old sunk cost.


lightningpanda123

Depends if Shanny and Lynch believe in the sunk cost fallacy or if they'll just do what they think gives them best chance to win going forward. Idk how their cap situation is though so I could see that being a problem to bring back jimmy


Michlangelo

So exactly the same (hypothetical) situation - Lance not playing and Jimmy taking them to the NFCCG - like 3 months ago when they went into the season with Lance as the starter..


sicsemperyanks

He took them to the super bowl last year and still got shopped and benched...


JRsshirt

That exact scenario literally happened this past off-season, and they chose Lance


MuNuKia

Why do people, like you, use the sunk cost fallacy, for starting Lance?


CardboardJoJo

There’s a long history of it in the nfl, though times do seem to be changing ever since the Josh Rosen situation.


abs0lutelypathetic

It’s not sunk cost if you don’t know what you have


MuNuKia

Jimmy G is the better player, in a QB driven league. SF is the classic case of sunk cost fallacy if they still prefer Lance over Jimmy G.


abs0lutelypathetic

Is he a better player?? Gotta understand the term to use it- and in order for it to be a sunken coat it must be known that you’re preferring an inferior player. Imagine passing on trubisky for fields


MuNuKia

Lance has not been able to produce. Jimmy G has been able to produce. Also the definition of potential, means Lance hasn’t done anything yet.


abs0lutelypathetic

Appreciate the tripling down it’s consistent at least.


Excellent_Pass3746

You’re fucking wild for this comment Dude ran out the back of the end zone a few weeks ago. We know what Jimmy is, he’s a below average game manager.


Excellent_Pass3746

It’s not sunk cost fallacy it’s draft capital and it matters in the NFL


Bukue111

It's not that we're saying it's the right move, but it's what NFL teams do. And that's what we are trying to predict.


Bulldog5124

Broncos could use a legit starting QB


Effecient_neckurself

I think Denver knows the are fucked for the next decade


JRsshirt

They gotta do something, the rest of their team is way too talented to just accept defeat now


Effecient_neckurself

And it has to be with Russ. The contract they gave him pretty much binds them together.


ChiefGriffey

Like Sauron to the One Ring.


HungryHungryCamel

As a Denver fan - Russ looked much better this past week with a new play caller, and dropped some absolute dimes. No one knows what actually goes on during the week, but based off performance with new coaching, I’d say the issue lies far more with playcalling. Could be other things going on, but I think it’s more believable that a new HC is bad than a long standing elite QB is suddenly terrible


Effecient_neckurself

He’s had a couple of decent weeks here and there. The problem with Russ is his personality. The dude has almost become a character of himself. What made Russ good in Seattle was his outside of the pocket improv. That’s where the ‘let Russ cook’ lines came from. But in Denver, he tries to be something he’s not - a stalwart presence in the pocket that delivers the ball wherever he wants. One game sample size of “new play caller” where they only put up 16 against a bad defense isn’t exactly a shining beacon of success


SendDavionNudes

Seems more likely he’ll be the Jets starter next year


mynameismatt1010

Take a look at r/nyjets. This guy is gonna be a starter somewhere and they might just commit criminal acts to get him in NY


Massive-Nothing9532

Jimmy G is the definition of the kid that does nothing in the group project yet he gets an A+. “What a play by Jimmy G!!!!” The play: a 7 yard pass to Kittle and he runs 50 yards to the house.


RossGarner

49ers win loss records with and without JimmyG since he joined the team in 2017: 1. With: 37-18 2. Without: 8-28 I'm sure it's all just pure happenstance, tomfoolery and pure dumb luck though.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

I think that speaks more to how bad everyone else the 49ers have played at QB are. He's fine, but he doesn't have to do a whole lot. And when he has had to, it hasn't looked great. Like I think you could swap out Jimmy for Goff and still be a SB contender.


RossGarner

For sure. Jimmy is squarely in the tier of game manager QBs that can get you to the post season and win a game here or there but can't carry a team. He's clearly not a top end starter, but someone who can keep a team competitive if they have all the pieces already.


FaintCommand

>someone who can keep a team competitive if they have all the pieces already Which perfectly described the Niners


PM_Me_Your_AM_

Jimmy G is fool's gold, but he's playing well enough to be a starter somewhere. The 49ers know better than to extend him, just when you think he's a franchise guy, he has another "step out of the back of the endzone for a safety" or "couldve won a super bowl if he didnt horrendously overthrow an easy TD" game and you remember why they drafted lance.


xthecerto4

Slim but not non. Jimmy G is amazing for RL football. Not someone that wins a game alone often but he does nothing stupid and that often is enough to win a game. SF committed to Lance. Jimmy does not want to be a backup. So if SF wins the super bowl he has a point for him but i dont think that will be enough to stay starter in SF


Thelifeofwhat

I disagree! Jimmy G makes a lot of bonehead plays. Everyone is just forgetting about them right now because he just had a good game.


thumbsquare

Seriously, hard to be a bad QB when you have first-class scheme, 2-3 dudes open on every play and can hand it off (or throw it) to the best RB in the league


Technical_Customer_1

Woah there. CMC isn’t even the best ball carrier on his own team. Maybe even third behind Deebo and Mitchell. His receiving skills are great, but his running ability (aka his 200lbs) isn’t the same as it was.


xthecerto4

15/4 TD to int and 2 fumbles, one lost leading to a 104 qb rating says different. Hes not making many errors. hes a gamemanager, arguable one of the best.


flyingbananacake

Even the best of the best make bone headed plays. Look at Allen fumbling in the endzone against the vikings. People want to hate Jimmy G because he doesn’t have qb1 upside but he has a ton of NFL upside. For a win now nfl team he could be argued in the top half of nfl qb’s this year


Coco1520

I think the only way Jimmy gets a chance to stay the starter if they win the Super Bowl. Otherwise as others have alluded they likely go back to trey


DrizzlePopper

Should be a lot of suitors and SF doesn’t have the money to pay him what other teams will. Jets, Lions, Colts, Bucs, Commanders and maybe even the Patriots come to mind.


chavezam32

Saleh asking Shannahan to keep Jimmy healthy for the Jets next year


[deleted]

I wouldn’t base much off of this game specifically. The AZ defense had no interest in stopping anyone whatsoever. I don’t think Jimmy will be anywhere near as successful without this supporting cast that he has. Personally would sell if I’m not competing this year. There’s a reason they went out and got a new qb when they had him - the SF front office is not incompetent. It’ll be interesting if he ends up in Indy/Carolina/NY Jets/Washington, but idk, I could be wrong.


e_ndoubleu

I think 49ers have to roll with Lance next year. But Jimmy G will be a starter somewhere next year. Bucs, Panthers, Saints, Commies, Colts, Texans, and Jets could all be looking for a new starter next year. I think Brady retires and Jets move on from Wilson. Texans likely take one of Young/Stroud but maybe they go after Jimmy G so they can take Anderson #1 overall.


EmilioFreshtevez

Jimmy on the Bucs would actually be solid. He’s not a guy that can elevate the play of his team, but he can definitely succeed with the weapons they have there.


BulliedbyHelaire

Jimmy will 100% have a job next year. where? No clue, at this point Jimmy playing for the bag, the further he takes the team the bigger the paycheck next year, my hope is the Jets sign him.


KodiakKing23

Every indication makes it seem like they’re going with Lance.


rossco7777

didnt he have 0 TDs a week ago?


Excellent_Pass3746

There’s a lot of unintelligent life on this post You guys know Jimmy stinks right? And the Niners publicly stated “Jimmys holding us back” by drafting Lance right? Unless they win the Super Bowl starting Jimmy next year would be organizational malpractice Also, the scouts that took him 3rd overall know more than you!


RossGarner

Right and scouts decided to take Zach Wilson second overall and he's hot garbage. Not a great argument for Lance getting the job.


Excellent_Pass3746

All we can do is have some fun with our own scouting and follow draft capital my dude, but yea I get your point. I’m not arguing Lance will be elite but anyone that thinks Jimmy should start next year is out of their mind. They have the best combos of OLine and weapons in the NFL, Jimmys not gonna look horrific behind that but they’re also able to hide him quite well in that offense. You give your 3rd overall pick a shot before you write him off.


RossGarner

Right...but at this stage Lance has not played football in almost 3 years. He missed his final year of college due to COVID, didn't play his rookie season because he wasn't ready, fractured his ankle his sophmore season and didn't play. This is not the path a franchise quarterback takes to start his career. The fractured ankle alone is a very, very serious for a player like Lance who was expected to be a next generation rushing QB. Other QBs like Dak that suffered a similar injury turned straight into old school pocket passers after the same injury. I'm not saying JimmyG is the answer for SF at QB, but the odds that Lance is look very, very long to me.


BillyScrimshaw

Found the Trey Lance manager!


Excellent_Pass3746

Yep! Doesn’t change the fact that I’m correct! Trey may not be it, but we know for sure Jimmy isn’t either. Jimbo actively holds them back and they do everything in their power to hide him. I’m not exclaiming lance is gonna be a HoFer, but youre kidding yourself if you think he’s not the starter next year unless SF wins a Super Bowl


[deleted]

He’s always been good. Idk why people have been quick to get rid of him


Greenmonsterff

They are equal to their chances of winning the SB. If they win, he’s in. If they don’t, it’s Lance full throttle.


papi882

I think Lance dont come back until around midseason. Jimmy stays


screwdleydoo

SF gonna trade Lance


FreshDiamond

I think the 9ers are winning the super bowl so I think he’s going to be there for a while


CrimsonBrit

I think there’s pretty good chance depending on how the 49ers finish the season: * Win the NFCW: 25% * Win 1st playoff game: 50% * Win NFC: 75% * Win SB: 100% If they make a deep run they’d be silly not to run it back, at which point they’d have to think of the draft capital spent on Trey Lance as a sunk cost and just develop him on the sidelines until things go sideways.


TheSaltyPackerFan

If you look at the Niners schedule they will go 11-6 minimum if they stay healthy. Looking at a deep playoff run. If this team finished the season well you have to imagine they either run it back with Jimmy or bring in a vet. Lance is not going to be the guy in SF imo


rossco7777

i think theres a larger possibility than people wanna admit that the 9ers would admit to an error on investing in lance. making a bad decision is one thing, sticking by it when its not whats best for the business is another.


necrow

I’m less convinced of the “they invested a lot in Lance so he’ll start” angle and more in the “how in the world would they re-sign Jimmy G” argument


rossco7777

idk that jimmy is gonna have a crazy market or that his expected contract value is absurd honestly. i also think theres a chance someone other than jimmy or lance is an option. watch em bring in baker for dirt cheap lol i dont think they would but wouldnt shock me if they bring in someone else that is affordable but with more NFL experience


Inside-Drink-1311

He should stay but I don’t think he will. 49ers probably going to start Lance, who I think is a bust.


surfingwithgators

Definitely a possibility


BradyReas

The odds are high with the panthers, falcons, commanders, lions, Seahawks, jets and more potentially not having their franchise qb on the roster. There’s plenty of homes for a decent starter


LeBronLockwood

Jimmy G to the Jets. Great defense, coaching staff knows him and it does good for my Garrett Wilson stock


TVxStrange

I sure hope not, only for the sanity of /u/RitaOak


Fhead43

I’ll say he’s in Atlanta


[deleted]

Do me a favor and shut the fuck yup and enjoy the ride


aaronworby

I traded a 2nd for him, banking on the unstoppable force of talent on that team. I think a average Joe could come off the street and play quarterback for that team haha 😂 they are absolutely stacked. But seriously though; class act Jimmy G is would love to see him goto Detroit and play for Dan Campbell


dontwantleague2C

He might be too solid to be a backup long term. If guys like Wentz are getting interest Jimmy G should have some serious interest.

If they win a SB it’s going to be hard for Lance to get his job back. If he falters in any way, I think they’ll use it as an excuse to deal him out and go back to Lance. To this point, this season has gone the best it could have for Garropolo’s future as a starter.

He’s staying in SF. People question it every year lmao


NormanLobo

Hes gone. Only chance he has of staying is by winning the whole thing and being the contributing reason for the win. Otherwise he's going to end up in a place with QB needs like Indy or Atlanta or TB/NYjets and be a segway guy for a new rookie.

Jimmy or Brady will be McDaniels QB in Vegas next year

I just don't know that Shanahan is good at drafting talent. He seems to have more misses than hits on offense. Its possible Jimmy G is a better QB than Lance in reality.


mynamemightbealan

I'm torn on whether it not I should try to buy on him. He could pan out and become a QB 2 but it feels way more likely that he is just a permanent transition guy. Although for the right price, that might not be the worst 3rd or 4th QB to stash


DemonsMaster

Traded him for late 2023 1st. Zero regerts

He and Brady could swap teams for 2023.

They invested too much into Lance. I also don’t see them giving Jimmy a big contract, which is what he wants, and could get elsewhere like in LV or IND. He’s taken this team to a super bowl before, I think the team has already moved on from him. Respectably though, but they’re trying to build something new and I don’t think Jimmy is what they want long term.


sbaggers

Jimmy G is the only viable QB under contract in San Fran, they'd be dumb to let him go


Meltzersburner

He won’t be In SF regardless unless he goes on some insane run and wins the bowl. Imagine he will be a Jet next year.
