If tua isn't the answer they can select top qb next year or whenever or top other players. Or WatsonPats right now are better than the dolphins
Because you don’t pay a $24m salary when that guy has only started more than 6 games in a season once in 7 years. If Jimmy was a more stable asset the Niners wouldn’t even be trying to replace him. It’s not that hard to figure out.Why not? Please explain why paying a STARTING QB a $24M salary is such a bad thing? Please explain why it's such a bad thing when Garappolo is a known entity and is fluent in their system? Especially when there isn't JACK on the market currently to be an actual BRIDGE QB otherwise.
And regardless of what the 49ers say, Jimmy is available, and there has to be a limited market for him. If the picks are Lawrence, Wilson, and lets assume Fields, then Same Darnold is available.Same, no way in hell im paying a top contract to Jimmy G... he is constantly injured
CAR is next, trading for #4 with ATL
basically pats are not picking a QB in the first round. this is what it means. unless someone drops to atlanta and pats are interested. i highly doubt.
They can’t afford to hold onto him because they need to free up cap space. Cutting him does minimal hit to their cap. Nobody is paying for Jimmy at his current salary or it would have happened already. He doesn’t have much of a market for his services beyond New England. Maybe they don’t cut him like you said but I wouldn’t expect much of a return for SF. This is as much a favor to them as it would be to the Pats.The 49ers aren't cutting Garappolo.. The 49ers aren't going to hand the keys to the kingdom to a rookie with zero NFL experience.
ATL is glued to Matty Ice for next 2 years because of his contract. It's smarter to cash in on picks and remain in top 10. Why draft a QB to have him sit for 2 years. CAR is desperate and will give away the house to move up.I don’t see it. Atlanta wants a QB. Fields will be there. Could see four QBs taken in the first four picks? That would be a first.
Only if they’d be patient to have that QB sit for 2-3 years. The Falcons just restructed Ryan’s contract and he comes with a dead cap of $40m next year and $15m the year after that. I think they’d be more open to sticking with Ryan and taking a lower cost developmental QB later in the draft, and leveraging their current spot in the draft order to gain more capital in a trade. But we’ll see.I don’t see it. Atlanta wants a QB. Fields will be there. Could see four QBs taken in the first four picks? That would be a first.

Swap CAR w/ SF on the above.The main issue I see with the OP premise, as others have pointed out, there's no guarantee "your guy" will be there, even at #4.
This is just as likely a scenario as any:
#1 - JAX: Trevor Lawrence
#2 - NYJ: Zach Wilson
#3 - CAR: Justin Fields. MIA trades down to #8 where they get one of top 2 WRs + a bunch of CAR picks. CAR is desperate and will sell out to move up 5 spots.
#4 - SF: Trey Lance. ATL trades down to #12 where they can get a top EDGE + some nice SF picks. SF wants to move on from Jimmy in 2022 and Lance offers a great replacement.
Mac Jones should be available at #15 if Patriots are interested in him. If not, they can pick one of the top WRs, trade down or into 2022.
That's the mentality that has kept Kirk Cousins in Minnesota for years with absolutely nothing to show for it.Why not? Please explain why paying a STARTING QB a $24M salary is such a bad thing?

Just stop. The 49ers still have more than 19M in cap space. So saying they "need" to free it up is erroneous at best. Especially since they have 76 players under contract and just traded away 2 picks this year. It's in their best interest to keep him as a mentor to the rookie than to cut/trade him.They can’t afford to hold onto him because they need to free up cap space.
