And for all the reasons I already spoke to, I'd be damn wary of making him one of the top 5 highest paid passers in the game. I'll bet you that's what he gets. On the strength of 5 games. It went as well as it possibly could have gone for them and it's still going to be a potential problem. They have the ability to franchise him so that's what they truly gained here, but mostly they're going to get to spend twice as much on their quarterback now and potentially put themselves in Raiders territory with Carr and his deal all because they wanted to take him for a test drive? Good luck 49ers. But with Kyle Shanahan at the helm, they'd have been just as likely to strike gold on a drafted QB who doesn't present the contractual issues that Garapollo is about to. Ryan's decline speaks to Shanahan's ability to get production from guys. He's making Garapollo look great - he'd have made his draft pick look damn good as well.

"Someday I'll figure out why teams keep trading for these Patriot backups as though they're anything more than clipboard carriers for the greatest HC/QB duo in NFL history. Jimmy G isn't a big guy and he has a history of dings/scratches, which bodes ill for a guy that's never been a starter - why do they think he can handle the added workload? And he's been a big time dink/dunker in his limted run in NE to boot.
He doesn't have tools that jump off the page by any means. His arm talent is fine; 2nd, maybe 3rd round pick caliber. His athleticism is also just fine; nothing exceptional but it doesn't hold him back. He's a big ball of 'meh' with a ceiling as a fringe top 10 passer at best, IMO." -Knows everything, about everything |

CJ Beathard is a bag of boiled crap. I couldn't figure out why he even got drafted.
I said Garapollo had fine athleticism and 2nd/3rd round arm talent. Combine that with 3+ years in the league and you're going to get a guy that's a damn sight better than someone like Beathard. What's that have to do with Shanahan getting something out of an actual drafted QBOTF rather than a guy that's an obvious long-term backup? And Garapollo DOES have a history of dings and he ISN'T a big guy. 5 games says nothing about his durability and again, the 49ers are going to get to pay HUGE to keep him now. Would you be excited to pay a smaller QB with a now 8 game track record like he's one of the best passers in the NFL? You that sold on Garoppollo already? Because the 49ers just took their best shot at getting the best asset in football - a cost controlled young quarterback - and decided that they'd rather gamble probably $60+ million in guarantees on Jimmy G. Yeah, obviously a no-brainer. This isn't the gotchya that you think it is. It doesn't surprise me that you're too dense to even understand that.

Uh, yeah - I'm sold on Jimmy G. He's really ****ing good. Way better than Derek Carr. Eye test - Jimmy G has it all. He'll be a stud for 10+ years. Great trade. |

Don't shudder. He was excellent offensively in Omaha last year and with regular at bats, will be no worse offensively than EsCobar, and possibly much much better.

I'm not sure this has been posted in the thread yet, but Mellinger seems to have information that the Royals didn't actually offer that contract.
