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.

half thinks he should start so we can see what he has. half thinks he should not start due to the horrid line. no wide outs , no run game.. a few of us think. if you are going to play him. maybe wait till staley gets back. he has made his fair share of mistakes but it would make me feel a titch better. until then just let the kid take the punishment. not sure if the boos from the few fans who are left at the stadium sunday in the third quarter when we are down 23-0 will influence the coach or not. he seems a bit arrogant thinking he can just ride this out for next year . i guess he is ok with his job security but with jed you never know

No coach that lead a team to 0-16 should feel like he has job security.

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.

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

That line of thinking could apply to any game going forward. Kyle doesn't know how JG will play outside of the Pats system and the sooner we find out the better. The more game experience Jimmy has this season, the more data points we have on him and the better we're able to evaluate if we should sign him to a long term contract or let him walk. If Jimmy can't at least give some impression that he could be a worthy franchise QB this season, should we really franchise or sign him for the next 5 years? That doesn't mean he needs to ball out in every game, but it isn't unrealistic to expect an upward trend as he gets more familiar with that offense. Not starting him this season at all would force us to make an expensive decision on him without taking advantage of our opportunity to see if he is worth it.

Do you seriously not understand how not knowing the offense impacts a QB? That's not even considering how bad the OL is right now and the fact that we lost our best receiver for the year?

Throwing him out there this week does nothing to show the team or the fans what Jimmy could be. What it does is basically throw him to the wolves and essentially ask him to fail.

If it would be so damaging to him to play this week, they wouldn't have him be active and the only other QB on the roster.

Well there has only been 1 other 0-16 team in league history, so you're either the best one ever or the worst one ever.

SMALLVILLE BABY !!!!!

Once again there's a difference in wanting to play him and needing to play him.

If CJ gets hurt Jimmy would go in but the offense would change drastically. Obviously they feel that bringing up McMullens off the PS isn't worth the roster spot. I'm sure if we were healthier we'd bring in a 3rd QB but since we've got guys hurting all over the place and have to bring in free agents off the street we need all the roster spots we can save.

Basically CJ is our Tom Brady right now...in that we need him to stay healthy so the backup can stay on the bench.

uhm , from this web zone and posters. claims continue that we are the best 0-5 team in nfl history. the best 0-7 team in nfl history so i will just assume if this continues at the end of the year. we will claim we are the best 0-16 team in nfl history.

Gotta Gotta Gotta kick the tires on Garoppolo before giving him the big buck long term contract. In that sense, the earlier we play him, the better. If he doesn't work out, there's still Cousin or draft. Sitting for the season is idiotic.

Staley back after the bye Jimmy G gonna play 😀
