JoeF Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 I certainly hope Jimmy G. picked up the tab at Mulberry for he and Beane.

I'm all for players getting paid but these type of salaries for QB's tends to leave less for other players. That shouldn't scare you away from securing a legitimate franchise QB. Having one of those pretty much guarantees a competetive team year in, year out. I know there's examples of QBs cashing in and then the team around them begins lacking (Flacco, for example), but paying him all that money wasn't the main issue (big factor, though). It was the fact that the Ravens haven't drafted nearly as well since then, as they had in the past. Get as many players on rookie contracts as you can, and hope they over perform. It's a roster building strategy, and it doesn't always work out, but it's probably a better strategy than spending more money elsewhere, while hoping a franchise QB falls in your lap. If the Bills want good QB play, they're going to have to pay for it, eventually, unless they get lucky in the draft (how's that worked out?).

The Jags game is where the kid looked good, but as we saw in Pittsburgh when they gave up 42 points, the Jags defense played pretty poorly late in the season . I am amazed at this deal, but it's another team ahead of us in the draft that doesn't need a qb so I'm cool with it. 1 1

Careful you'll piss off the Garoppolo lovers who thinks 7-0 will continue on and on and on.
YoloinOhio Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Looks like the Pats should have gotten a bit more than a 2nd round pick if he’s this valuable
offyourocker Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 1 hour ago, whatdrought said: Wow. 6 games or so of work and already that highly paid. SF is going to be dangerous going forward. Until he tanks in another 10 games or so. New qb in league always seem to light it up and most disappear after a defensive coordinator figure them out. That is a crazy amount for really an unproven guy
Gunsgoodtime Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 They can have him for that kind of money, straps the team 1
BuffaloRebound Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 He can thank Cousins for that deal. SF would've franchised him for a year to make him prove it over another season before giving him that kind of money prior to Cousins giving the Skins a big F U for trying the same strategy.

He can thank himself for playing well and making his teammates better with 5 straight wins to close the season after Hoyer and Beathard managed one win between them before he took the reins.
Mark Vader Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Well the 49'ers have the money to do this. I'm still in the minority when it comes to the hype that Garoppolo gets. I never saw what the big deal was about him when he was coming out of Eastern Illinois, and I still don't see what the big deal is when he hasn't even played a full season. Now what is Cousins going to get?
Mr. WEO Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: If we can get Cousins we have to. This is the market for a QB who played well in FIVE GAMES. Cousins has 3 consecutive years of top 10 production. If we draft a rookie we'll have to make them the highest paid player ever in 5 years or so. There's no avoiding it. Do it now. Cousins played well in 5 wins too last year. Draft a rookie in the first round and watch from afar as Cousins craters in Denver.

So that's the going rate now for 5 straight wins and 7 starts? SF would be the laughing stock of the league right now if Cousins hadn't shown other QB's how to use the franchise tag to their advantage.

SF would be the laughing stock of the league right now if Cousins hadn't shown other QB's how to use the franchise tag to their advantage. Garoppolo, 49ers agree on 5-year, $137.5M deal Those questioning the small sample size or the lack of touchdowns (7 TDs, 5 INTs) are either not watching Garoppolo play or forgetting that the 49ers owned a dead-on-arrival offense before he entered the lineup. The 49ers scored 28.8 points per game under Garoppolo; they scored 17 points per tilt in games he did not start in 2017. Garoppolo immediately morphed the 49ers into one of the most enjoyable teams to watch down the stretch. He had Niners players espousing comparisons to Tom Brady, and giddily talking about his "different aura." More importantly, his arrival in San Francisco made playing hella more fun for his teammates. Garoppolo's leadership and talent caused the greatest coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick, to balk at getting rid of the quarterback before he absolutely had to make a move. As colleague Chris Wesseling eloquently detailed, Belichick envisioned Jimmy G as the perfect post-Brady quarterback. Only TB12 stiff-arming Father Time caused a ripple in that plan.
CaptnCoke11 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Wait i thought a kid of Facebook said he was going to sign with us?

SF wouldn't be the laughing stock of the league. That award will go to the team that pays Cousins his ransom. What team is in the position to give Cousins a bigger contract than JG? And doesn't this say something about the market for Cousins? SF didn't even bother to franchise JG--they just backed up the truck and paid him a ton, rather than give that money to Cousins.
sodbuster Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) I wonder how the average qb salary as a percentage of the cap today compares to that of the past. I'm far too lazy to figure it out myself. Edited February 8, 2018 by sodbuster
hondo in seattle Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) In the era of the quarterback, you have to do deals like this. Franchise QBs are hard to find, but in his 49er starts Jimmy sure looked like a good one. If you dork around with QBs, you become the Buffalo Bills of the past 17 years. You can never know for sure, but the signs are that Garoppolo is a good one. At this point the 49ers have to go all in and hope for the best. Better to pay the man at the beginning of his ascendancy than sign a big priced FA at his peak moving toward his decline. Edited February 8, 2018 by hondo in seattle
