I'm sure their hand was forced since Garoppolo and his agent were promising them the Cousins treatment if he got tagged, but it's still bad business. You keep on brnging up Cousins when the situations are different with no acrimony between the 49ers and Garoppolo. Based on what I have seen from Jimmy G, I'll trust the collective judgment of Lynch and Shanahan over yours.

It's out of our price range. Looking more and more like Taylor is an option as the bridge QB after all.. *hurls violently and uncontrollably*
aristocrat Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 i don't get why they didn't just tag him 1

Big Turk Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Thai cant be true. I just read the Bills,49ers and Redskins are going to be making a 3 way trade with Garrappollo coming here. This is obviously fake news. 1 1

Great move for both sides IMO. it's 7 games. He looked great for sure but there is a very good chance this backfires. A lot of guys can have a flash I'm just saying the smart deal would have been to tag him and sign him next year if he plays well.

When salary of QB tips balance it cannot be good.

Put up some numbers. Not be great. This is a major mistake imo. We’ll see. I totally disagree. Go read what Lynch and the niners were gushing about...the command, leadership, on field things beyond just throwing. You either have that or you dont and thats what separates the greats from the forgotten. Now that doesn't guarantee anything by no means, but this kid checks every single box. His on field resume is short, but outstanding to go with everything they see from him as a leader, a thinker, and field general. I honestly think Jimmy G will bite NE in the back side for a long long time once TB is gone. Keep in mind, he took a team who was 1-10 without knowing the playbook, players, coaches, etc but just a couple weeks and led them to a 5-0 record, including beating the AFC Champion Game Jaguars #1 Defense badly with (the former punching bag around here) Marquise Goodwin as his number one target. The guy 98% of this board said sucks and was too small to play in the NFL. Niners and Browns were widely seen as the two least talented rosters in the NFL at that point...and he took that same roster and went 5-0. Offense went from 17ppg to over 28ppg. He over night single handedly turned them into a top 3 offense in the NFL over those 5 games...again with little time with playbook or players and throwing to Goodwin as his #1 WR. No one can see the future, so he could disappoint...but when I watch him I dont see any red flags with Jimmy G outside someone saying "small sample size". He seems like the complete package, so color me sold on his potential and supporting this signing by the Niners with all that cap space. Now if I am them, I go sign Sammy and give Jimmy G much needed upgrade to the WR group and use draft picks to add to the OL and D. Edited February 8, 2018 by Alphadawg7 1

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. . I wonder how 'fun' it will be when players are let go and other do not get raises they wanted because money went to QB. 1

He produced at that level with mediocre talent surrounding him on offense. Just think what he could do with more time in Shanahan's system and better talent supporting him.

Doesn't change the fact that he has only started a few games. RGIII looked amazing for an entire season. There is always a chance he doesn't turn out as good as they thought. 1
