H2o Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) I think what Jimmy is doing in SF right now is great, but I also think Shanahan deserves some credit. A coach can make all the difference. Look at Carr this year without Musgrave, look at Ryan this year without Shanahan, look at Goff's turnaround under McVay, and look at what Garoppolo is doing now under Shanahan. QB's can have ability, but it is also up to the coaching to get the most out of them. Edited December 25, 2017 by H2o
wppete Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 It’s amazing how a quality QB can instantly change a franchise. Jimmy G. Instantly made SF an up and coming team and #2 in their division next year IMO. The Bills need to either trade up and get a quality QB in the top 10 this year or do something crazy like trade for Andrew Luck or Cam Newton if possible.
Misterbluesky Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 So at the end of the season he is a UFA? Holy crap we need to take a shot at him!
26CornerBlitz Posted December 25, 2017 Author Posted December 25, 2017 1 hour ago, Doc said: I'd still pump the brakes on JG. If I were the 49'ers, I'd franchise him and see how does over a full season next year before committing huge dollars. 49ers GM John Lynch: “This place is coming to life again, man,” Lynch continued. “It’s really fun. A couple weeks ago, I’m not a big Twitter guy, but I was tweeting like I never have, because I just want this young team to feel like this is what happens when you play well.” They’ll all get one more week of it before the reality of the offseason hits next Monday. All this fun will be on hold for another eight months, and the team will need to figure out how it’ll use all its draft picks and the $100 million in cap space burning a hole in its 2018 pockets. But comparatively? This is pretty good. The last three offseasons kicked off with coaching searches in Santa Clara. This one will kick off with a contract negotiation with the quarterback that’s taken a month to win over a region. “Great problem to have,” Lynch says. “Everyone’s looking for that guy, and we feel like we’ve got him in the building. We’re gonna do everything we can, and we have great respect for his representation in Don [Yee], and we’re gonna get to work. He has great perspective, he’s been through this before. We’ll get together and try to make it happen. “We’ll probably have to have some patience, because these things don’t happen right away, but we’re gonna make every effort to get this done and secure him and make him a Niner for a long time to come.”
26CornerBlitz Posted December 25, 2017 Author Posted December 25, 2017 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/25/the-unstoppable-jimmy-garoppolo-and-other-week-16-thoughts/?sf177396980=1 Jimmy Garoppolo has been the best player in the NFL over the last month. It was only a month ago that the 49ers were 1-10 and ranked 31st in everyone’s power rankings. Then they made Garoppolo their starting quarterback, and now they’re on a four-game winning streak. Has any player, ever, been responsible for that kind of turnaround, for a team suddenly turning from bad to good? Not that I’ve ever seen. The Jaguars have the best defense in the NFL and entered yesterday having won seven of their last eight games, but they were no match for Garoppolo yesterday. He absolutely picked them apart, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another, in a 44-33 win.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 Too bad we didn't trade for him, I would gladly give them a second for him.

The Bills need to either trade up and get a quality QB in the top 10 this year or do something crazy like trade for Andrew Luck or Cam Newton if possible. Free Agency comes before the draft. We have to get rid of TT in my view first. Then we got to estimate what we think MIGHT happen in the draft. Then we decide on a FA QB. We got to get someone in FA, question is how big and costly. Then do the best we can after that when it comes to the draft. I believe it's a tricky problem to navigate. If I had to "error", I'd error on too big of a FA signing and then picking the best QB (even moving up). If both look good, you can always deal one off for a minimal loss in the future. I'm 100% in on pursuing a Very Good or better QB at all costs. 1 hour ago, Misterbluesky said: So at the end of the season he is a UFA?

They traded for Bledsoe. They traded back into first round for Losman. They have drafted multiple QBs in multiple rounds. They have signed FAs. They have traded multiple picks for QBs. The Bills like every other team have no idea which QB will turn out to be good. A GM traded Brett Favre. 32 GMs passed on Brady at least 5 times. A GM took Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, and insert 20 or 30 other busts over the last two decades including Losman and Manuel. You just have to keep trying but you do not have to give up picks to get a QB - especially not in the 2018 draft.
Wayne Arnold Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 Thank God the Patriots were forced to trade him. Can you imagine another 20 years of having to deal with dominant QB play from the Pats? 1

A 2 on collins They gave up a 1 and 4 for rob Johnson A 1 for bledsoe A 1 and 3 for losman 3 on edwards Fitz experiment A 1 on manuel Tt experiment They have tried but just failed miserably

So !@#$ing glad he’s not in our division What on earth do you mean? We have a real QB here already! Tyrod is really good, he's just misunderstood by the fans. I've read here lots of times from many posters! It must be true! 1
Doc Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Derek Carr is the reason I'd wait on giving JG a huge extension. What the hell happened to that guy?
