49ers want ____ for Jimmy G

Well, keep looking John.

I just don't get the idea behind acquiring him...  its still a retread.  And he's solid...  I feel like with the right cast, and a good offense, he has Top 15 ability, but I worry about his execution in clutch moments, so my value on him would be like a 3rd or 4th, max.  He also struggles to stay healthy, which should also ding his trade value.   Niners are trippin.

As good as we have done in FA, If we don't come away without even a viable option for 2023, we failed the FA game.  Why?  We are NOT extending Darnold as the starter, not even if he actually plays decent this year.  As of right now, we have ZERO QBs for 2023.

Easy...draft a QB this year, right? WRONG.  There is a single play there...new QB comes in and is ready to go.  That works out how often?   Two of three scenarios says pigeon-holing with a QB this draft is setting us up for failure.  The kid isn't good or needs time to develop.  Again, data shows rookie QBs with success out of the gate is very limited.  Maybe Pickett can manage games for us by 2023, but many of these guys will take several years to develop.

Again, we need a veteran QB.

He isn’t going anywhere for that price. Part of the trade value of a player is the contract. A star player on a rookie contract is worth the most. Darnold had more value because of his contract. Jimmy G is coming off shoulder surgery and has a huge bloated contract. He’s worth like a 3rd round pick at the most. Someone might overpay but he shouldn’t be going anywhere for that price.

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
