No none will ever, EVER replace TFB here....but

[stcjones]

Jimmy G just does not look like he could get it done if he had to step in gawd forbid!! I am pulling hard for Jimmy ....great kid, seems to have good talent. I know this is Preseason game....so was last game......But Jimmy G just seems Cassel-like. Game manager....can't get it done under pressure....and erratic. I kind of see Brissett hanging around and Jim still could be traded after this year.....thx

 

[Joker]

you're "pulling hard" for Jimmy G?...little graphic there, Mr. Jones. This is a quasi-family board. That being thrown out there, Garrop looks 100% more effective in a hurry up.

The Bears are so dumb for not trading for the talented, star in the making former Eastern Illinois QB. Should have traded their 17 and 18 first rounders, good for both sides in this QB dry/pricey market.

I'm amazed at the people whose football savvy allows them to accurately determine a player's ceiling based on a few quarters of preseason football.

How are you guys not making the big bucks heading up some personnel office for one of the teams?

I think we're all spoiled from 17 years of Tom Brady. We have the greatest quarterback of all time playing for us, right now. It's extraordinary. This is a man who's next big record to chase is the tie for most franchise Superbowl wins. He is literally one Superbowl away from tying a feat that took the Steelers 80 years and many quarterbacks to accomplish. He's no longer even in competition with other quarterbacks; he's surpassed them all and is now approaching records set by whole franchises across many decades. We as a fanbase have completely forgotten what a good-but-mortal quarterback looks like. People who thought Jimmy was the heir-apparent and could step in and be just like Tom were delusional. Like the Colts fans who thought Luck would be just like Peyton; or the 49ers fans who thought they'd win four more Superbowls with Young not missing a beat after Montana. There will never be another Tom. He's a once-in-a-lifetime talent, and after he's gone, we'll have to deal with a quarterback who's good but who can't be Tom Brady.

If you can follow Brady up with a top 15 quarterback (Andy Dalton or better) you've been very fortunate, you're not going to get another Brady level quarterback.

As for Brissett i just don't see starting NFL quarterback from anything i've seen which is why Jimmy wasn't traded.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Yup, I am logging out. No offense to OP as I am fine with him but some of these posts today are unbearable!

It’s preseason. He will be fine...

Brady is the greatest of all time, he makes it look so easy. But let's not forget, JG was throwing to 2nd and 3rd string players. Brady gets to throw to Edelman (before he got hurt), Gronk, Hogan, Amendola, etc. Let's not forget how well JG played when he was with the first string players when Brady missed the 1st 4 games in 2016. JG was money until he got hurt.

And even that was without GRONK.

Remember the garoppolites are basing it on a few quarters also.

Please just stop.

So a piss poor O-line, no running game and drop after drop from the receivers = Jimmy G sucks?

Is he Tom Brady? No, of course not. But if he can be somewhere between 80-90 % of Tom Brady and a top 10 QB in the NFL, then that's not too shabby. What happened yesterday didn't in anyway suggest that Jimmy can't achieve that.

 

[maineman209]

Alternative plan: Trade Brissett and Coleman for Jake Rudock.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Wow! The JAG Era sure ended fast here.

 

[Vataha]

Jimmy Gs career as a starter won't be here.
The time line with Brady doesn't work for him.
My concern with Jimmy G is he doesn't know how to hit the ground when he is tackled. always puts his arm out to break his fall.
I see a Pennington type of career for Jimmy G.
Brady's replacement is not on the roster.

He is also behind a **** 2nd string OL that doesn't slide protection very well. This is somewhat concerning.

I know you just used him as an example, but the thought of going from Brady to Andy Dalton is suicide inducing.
