Jimmy G trade market dry due to his offseason disappearing acts?

[thenorthremembers]

The market is dry because most of the teams that potentially need a QB have someone slotted in as a starter at this point.  As such, you can either give up a pick right now, and throw all the chemistry your starter has built with his team out the window or you can wait for the 49ers to cut him and try and sign him.

 

Either way the guy is a free agent in March and I think it'd be completely foolish for a team to trade for him and then have to pay him as well.  Unless you job is on the line you may as well see what you have at QB and try to sign him in the offseason if your current starter poos the bed.

I certainly don't agree with them. I'll borrow this from the Jets board to express my opinion:

 

Hey Look! Its Bernie

He can manage a game pretty well and that's useful if you have a team like San Fran where you have a great defense, weapons at wr and rb.  Like if we had him on the Tyrod teams we'd be in the playoffs and win a game or two but never quite the big one. His main issue is availability. He plays like every other year.

In 2 out of 3 years, within a few minutes of winning a super bowl and an NFC championship game are pretty far

Yeah this is crazy and the risk with any player that signs for “life money.”  There are always two sides to every story but the situation looks pretty ugly right now.

 

Watch Browns owner go crazy when Deshaun Watson does that!

The problem is they should have won that Superbowl going away if he played anything close to a good level.

I think he will land in Cleveland, the have managed to botch up their QB room to a legendary status of ineptitude.

Wow, an NFL player got the big money then disappeared ...this almost never happens 

They have a trophy for that, given to a player each year in a back room during the ESPYS.  It's called the Haynesworth Trophy.  

The 1st recipient was our very own Shawne Merriman.

Not after the 6 for 7 game by Josh Rosen.  He's back, baby!  Still trying to become the Right Josh.

I only see two options.  Cleveland trades for him once they come out of their delusion and realize Watson is gone for the year.  Second, they don’t and SF cuts him and Seattle picks him up.  The Jets would be suicide especially because their shiny toy in Wilson won’t be out long.

Sure, you surround him with a great running game and defense, he'll take you pretty far.  But he had the SB won against the Chefs and just needed to hit a few passes and he couldn't. 

[Simon]

I would think it has less to do with him disappearing on vacation for a couple weeks and more to do with him clearly being a giant puss with the intestinal fortitude of a 3 week old puppy.

It's not a mere coincidence that he has the same initials as Jeff George.

[Doc]

And given his salary and how late it is in the season, he's stuck on the 49'ers.

[Airseven]

Trade market is dry because the 49ers may cut him. And at this point in the preseason, there's only a couple potential suitors to bid against on the open market. Mayfield trade return also having an impact. Teams have no reason to offer a decent draft pick.

[frostbitmic]

It's not so much that Jimmy disappears in the off season but that he disappears during games.

 

Why would the Browns trade for him, they have the Right Josh.

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

There will likely be a QB injury on a team with a chance to make the playoffs and they will blink and bring in Jimmy G.  We've seen this happen before.  It usually involves a GM and Head Coach that are already on the hot seat.  

[HurlyBurly51]

Thought I read somewhere about his teammates questioning his toughness, so not exactly a leader his teammates will bust through a wall for.

Yeah you kind of expect more commitment from a franchise QB.

Apparently he is putting some significant time and energy into that since she claims he is the only man who went for so long that she had to "tap out"
