I agree with that fan. Top 5 QB has about a 25% success rate I have been told based on other research. There was only one semi-recent example of a top 5 QB sitting a year and then playing. Player was Carson Palmer. Obviously too small of a sample size, but if you can increase the likelihood...

It is interesting. Outside of 49erland, pundits are pretty sure that JG will be traded before the season starts unless Trey Lance is drafted by the 49ers. 49er fans, however, believe Kyle/Lynch when they say they plan to have the drafted QB sit for a year. It seems to me the chances that a...

Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner!

Um, not sure what you are saying. I don't tend to watch press conferences by players or coaches. It appears you are trying to show the Super Bowl video where JG overthrew an open Sanders near the end of the SB that could have been the difference between losing and winning. I know it well. I...

I never said JG's stock could only go up. I said it has the potential to go up or down. If it goes down, he will be cut with his current salary, and he will then be free to sign with any other team. If it goes up, then 49ers would be expecting even more compensation for a trade next year. I...

Since the trade to #3, the 49ers have been consistent in what they are saying. They plan on keeping JG this year to give their rookie QB time to sit and learn. They are open to a trade if they are blown away with an offer, which was later defined as a first round pick. 49ers don't expect any...

Alex Smith to KC trade was two 2nd round picks (one of which was #34 overall).

I agree that next year 49ers will have to either cut or trade JG. It doesn't make much sense to sit a rookie for 2 years, and if they did, it probably means they made a mistake on who they drafted. But I think you are wrong that JG won't have any trade value next year, regardless of how he...

I want to address the argument that the 49ers stance on JG trade is changing. Since trading to #3 pick in current draft, the 49ers have been saying that JG is in their plans this year and they don't plan to trade him unless they are blown away with an offer. Here is from their news conference...

I think 49ers would be open to a future year first to replace one of the lost first round picks that they traded. I am not so sure about giving up a future 2nd, though. I don't think 49ers would value Cam Newton. The perception is that their system is very complicated and it takes a QB a...

A lot of the conversation lately is covered in the above. The question was asked if 49er fans would spend a first pick to get JG. No, we wouldn't. Of course, if you are moving away from a player, you probably wouldn't pay anything for them. But thinking objectively, it is borderline whether...

The other team that is mentioned as a possible trade partner for JG is Chicago.

Jimmy has no leverage. If he refuses to play, the 49ers keep him and he doesn't get paid. They will have drafted his backup, so it isn't like they will be hurting that much by him holding out. In the mean time, his free agent stock will be dropping and there is 0 chance that he will be making...

Hello, been checking out this thread, and thought it might help to give things from a 49er perspective. It is to the 49ers advantage to keep JG this year and play him. 49ers want to contend for a Super Bowl, which is hard to do with a rookie. The 49ers are also investing a lot of draft...
