Or maybe - stay with me here - people thinking Garoppolo might be available because of SF's move, his contract, and other, you know, pertinent information, are simply interested in the possibility and enjoy talking about hypotheticals.
I'm not a huge JG fan. I do like his release and have seen some really good flashes from him - but not enough to think he's "THE guy. Fortunately, that's not up to me.
I'm also not a big hater of Cam Newton. I think COVID hit him a lot harder and longer than even he realized - I've watched Jason Tatum since he came back and he's all over the place. Great game, sucky game, sucky game, okay game. He's not the same player.
I also think that Newton is desperate to play well this year and had a full off-season to get at it. Given everything that happened last year, including a non-existent receiving corps, I have no problem with him having another year.
But I find SF's move to #3 fascinating, given that they've got control of JG for two years at >50 million, and that JG isn't a mid-30's QB and is still desperate to put something of a career together. I know BB likes him a lot.
It's worth discussing and considering from a football/human standpoint whether I'm desperate for the guy or not.
