The 49ers and Garappolo agreed to re-do his deal to keep him with San Francisco.  He’ll become the highest paid backup QB to stay and support Trey Lance. 
 

JG gets $6.5 as his base with the possibility of up to an additional $9 mill should he become the starter. 
 

Potentially a win-win for both sides.

People laugh at me but I still say Jimmy G is a Top 15 QB in this league. He wins 70% of his games by playing smart, he has it upstairs and has been 2 Final 4's and a SB.

I understand….. 


But his arm injury and needed surgery currently makes him an unknown quantity.   At this point he’s decided he’d rather be the backup to Lance than the potential starter in Seattle, or the possible starter in Cleveland.  So he’s staying where he is.

I think he could've been good in Cleveland, I think he goes 6-5 there where I have JB going 4-7 and I like JB as you know. JB is more of a backup than Jimmy. Tom Brady would struggle in Seattle, nobody in their right mind would any part of that haha .

I'll give Jimmy credit for checking his ego at the door.  He could have been unwilling to do anything just to force SF mgmt to do something.  Instead I think he is looking at the bigger picture and making a smart decision.

  • He is still getting paid (less than before of course) and has time to get his arm in shape
  • If Lance falters or is injured he can step in
  • At the end of the year he can do what he wants
  • If a trade option comes along that he likes he can approve

Pretty smart on his part I think.

And he also defines his loyalty....and that can be a motivating factor when the next team inks that massive check.

If I am SF, I would trade Trey Lance for a massive boatload of picks, something like 2 first rounders if you can get it, even if they are middle of the road 1st rounders.

I'm guessing the Niners are considering giving the $$$ back to Jimmy G - considering the fact that he is NOW their starting QB!!

 

But they don't have to.  They have both agreed to the current contract.  It does have incentives though.

49ers have all the time in the world now to decide on Lance. They can wait until next year if they want and see how Jimmy G does. If he works his magic and helps get the team to the playoffs yet again, it’ll be a hard but enviable decision. 
 

Their offense definitely came to life once he took over. Hate that for Lance, but the NFL is not for the faint of heart.

Paid off for 49ners. I thought 49ners were going to lose him to another team. (hint hint COLTS) They got lucky getting him even though he is the highest paid back up.. lol

His new contract includes special clauses if he becomes the starter, which he just did.   So he will make more than the $6.5 mill base pay he signed for.   He’ll do just fine.    Next year, if he remains healthy, he’ll be much more in demand.

Well….  Everyone passed on him because he hurt his passing arm shoulder around late January.   And no one knew how healthy he’d be.   Plus he had a big contract and no one could talk to him.   Too many question marks and not enough clarity over health and contract.  Too much to overcome.

      MPJ IS a number 1. Period.

      By Superman · Posted

      I don't necessarily agree with everything you're saying here, but I get your point. I agree with the bolded, for sure, and I don't think Pittman is that player. So I think the Colts should continue to try to find that player.   But does that mean the Colts should move on from Pittman? That probably depends on his contract expectations, right? So what does the market say he should expect? This is where I think it's important to identify what kind of player Pittman is -- not just what he isn't -- and who he compares to. Because that's what his agent will be presenting.   I think if people spend the time to think about realistic comps for Pittman and the contracts those players have, it will be easier to project his market value. And then what it probably comes down to is whether the Colts should pay Pittman his market value, or let him leave in FA. Because trying to tie Pittman to a value that isn't supported by the market is kind of pointless.

      Bengals OL looks inconsistent some games they look good while others they don’t. Hopefully we send more pressure against them this game.

      IMHO   The "naming" from a fans perspective isnt that important   But..... from my personal opinion, this offense needs a WR that defensive coordinators need to scheme for. Someone that can score on any play. Someone that has amazing YAC potential. Someone that forces the safeties to play a little deeper.     THIS type of receiver.... call him "WR1", or "explosive AL" for all that matters.... THIS type of receiver is needed to open up running lanes for our star RB   As we sit today, (Like Sunday) The Texans were in a modified, 8 man box to slow down the run   Edge was MORE effective because we had Marvin, who could take the top off.....   Thats all I am saying......  not trying to belittle Pittman..... we need him JUST like we did with Reggie Wayne before         THIS team needs THAT type of player   The agent for Pittman is going to try and "sell" his client as a top WR1   I see Pittman as that Reggie Wayne type......  much needed......  but not at the same level as Harrison

      You know what I think would help? Agreeing on the verbiage, as it relates to production, impact, and pay range.    Some of the terms being used in this thread: #1 WR, true #1, WR1, elite WR, game breaking WR, go-to receiver... None of those terms are well defined. Even more technical terms like Z/X/Slot receiver have a lot of overlap, and there's not really a league-wide prototype for those positions anymore. Pittman runs 30% of his routes from the slot, and lines up all over the place.   Even some of the guys you named above are drastically different in usage and production. Stephon Diggs is a lot more comparable to Pittman than Mike Evans, even though Evans seems like the more logical comp.   So I wonder what everyone thinks the proper expectations are, and should be, for the WR1 for a good offense. Is it based more on production, or more on playing style? And what kind of players should Pittman be compared to when we start thinking about the appropriate pay range for him?

      Its an interesting case, hes good but usually you want more out of your best WR.   The real question is how much do we give him, its pointless to argue if hes a #1.   He might be our #1 like it or not if we cant find anyone better
