oh s**t JG is a nut job or just high as fk

Can't believe I actually know something about this. This is called "Matching" and it's part of "Building Rapport" with others. There's actually some science behind this. Any google on the two quoted terms will tell you more about this. I had to go to a company class on this.

Anyway - back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Personally, I'm still kinda shocked that we actually got this done. With one move, the 2017 season now has added purpose. Taking a swing on a FQB and getting him in the building is huge. It just accelerates the whole ground up rebuild.

So kudos to Lynch for getting this done, if it plays out like we all hope it's a franchising changing move.

Just as an aside, I do like how complimentary Belichick was of not only Jimmy G but of Lynch and Kyle. It really does seem like Bill wanted to do right by Jimmy G and as Bill said Jimmy's "getting a good coach".

This has been my bottom line since it was apparent we aren't going anywhere this yr. If we could identify and sign a FR QB of the future, this would be a very successful yr for KYle and Lynch. And then....they did it. We know there was discussion early on in FA, and a no from BB pretty well ended it. A phone call from BB to Lynch basically just turned our season around. We went from needing :

FR QB
#1 WR
ER(s)
CBs
S
ILB
OLB
And depth EVERYWHERE to :

Removing the one hardest position to fill in the game. FR QB. We don't know right now if he is/isn't . But all signs point to the fact this IS the kid. Incredibly, we also have in the stable a developmental potential FR QB in CJ, so even that is taken care of, but most of us thot he had a shot at being the man.Well, if he turns out to be, fantastic and we have huge leverage then in trading,..or if he is better than JimmyG, hey , that scenario works out too. One other thought: had we NOT had Kyle here, would BB still have wanted to trade Jimmy G here? Maybe, maybe not. But having kyle here to continue to develop JG had a part to play in this. Would BB have talked to us wiht chipster or tomsul here? Nah, i don't think so. He was looking for a good home from him , far far away from NE. It just so happened we finally got the OC/HC we have needed and have desperately been looking for since 1999-2000.

So if this is our season, even a winless one or just a few wins, we win overall by filling the one hardest position to fill on any team...FR QB. We've already been looking for 17 yrs. Is this a watershed moment? Bet your bippy it is. Would anyone really have been happier if we filled #1 WR, ER, CB ILB, OLB, S instead? NO! This was the big one and until Tuesday, it looked Ike we were once again giong into FA and draft with no FR QB. Plus we already got a QB in training , CJ, so amazingly, FR QB seems pretty well under control now. Was this a Godsend? Yup, and probably from Lynch staying on good terms with BB as well as staying in contact with him. Just as important, once the offer was made our 2 guys were ready to jump on it.

And that folks is your successful season ...even if we win just a couple...or even none this yr. We got the one very most important thing out there....FR QB. Infrickingcredible. Nobody would have thunk it. Go niners.

I agree with you. Finding a franchise QB trumps everything else the team is doing and it is why teams spend huge draft capital to maneuver around and take QB's in the annual NFL draft. If JimmyG proves himself to be the man at QB then SF's management has to be very happy about this season and where they are moving forward.

I wish cornerback wasn't such a huge problem for this team as well because San Francisco really needs to spend some money and early round draft picks on the offensive side of the ball. This is a team that hasn't invested in premium talent on offense and it shows. Their best skill player was also the one they took earliest in the draft (Hyde).

Jules is comfortable with his own sexuality lol.

That was a good looking roster. Time to start adding jawline rankings to our draft boards if it means guys will play well.

No way. If he can't play for us at our worst, then he doesn't deserve to play for us at our best. I say... throw him out there in the second half of this game without telling him you're going to before hand, see how he handles it.

This

I don't understand how anyone could criticize this move. Its right in between the 2 riskier options that this new regime was going to have to rest its fate on.

Option A was having to sign Kirk Cousins to the richest contract in NFL history, with no real proof that he's anything more than a regular season hero. And thats IF Washington lets him go. And BTW, he's going to be 30 next season.

And Option B was trying to figure out which QB prospect in this draft is THE guy, and we then won't really know if they got it right until a couple years later. It doesn't help that none of the QB in this "historically good" class is really looking that impressive this year.

We got the seemingly unavailable Option C. A guy who was drafted as an early round QB, has been vetted as a guy who gets it, and has the skillset. Hes been learning under the 2nd best QB and coach of all time, and knows what it takes to win, and be great. In his limited action thus far, hes looked fantastic. He's fundamentally sound, and has an accurate, lightning fast release.

Obviously hes not proven yet, but hes a far safer bet than any rookie, is already coached up and polished, and ready to become the leader of a team. Plus he just turned 26.

Even if Garoppolo somehow falls on his face, we can still fall back on one of the other options. Belichick really did us a HUGE favor. This incredible option just fell into our laps. A bargain opportunity at a potential franchise QB.

You cannot be for real right?

Has to be trolling. I refuse to believe anyone is this delusional.

The guy was traded to us mid week. Totally different offense. You want to throw him out there to see how he does? He'll do poorly, very poorly.

Thankfully our coaches aren't morons and won't be doing that.

What exactly would Kyle gain from playing him that he already doesn't know?
