Just updated myself on his latest comments,...lol. Certainly shots fired our way.

Those comments also make sense for any of the other teams who had interest in Brady :

Tennessee (Tannehill)
LA Chargers (Tyrod Taylor)
Chicago (Mitch Trubisky)
Las Vegas (Derek Carr)

The only one Brady actually knows and would make a comment like that would be Jimmy though. That's the kind of comment someone makes when they know the guy. IMO

No, its a comment a HOF QB would make about a team like the Bears who decided to stick with a crappy QB over him. Tom and Jimmy still keep in contact, and Jimmy was just coming off a great year, and going to the SB. The 49ers wanting to stick with the younger guy coming off a SB is totally understandable, especially after Brady's crappy 2019.

So your guess was that he was talking about Trubisky? Or Foles? I don't think there's a lot of evidence that would point towards that. I'm going to stick with thinking it was about Jimmy. It makes too much sense to me.

Tannehill is my guess. Well known a*****e and Brady has a relationship with Vrabel

That's not a terrible guess. I still feel like he's not as tight with Jimmy as some may think. I'm pretty sure Brady cried about Jimmy breathing down his neck and was the catalyst that got Jimmy shipped out of town. Brady and Kraft are super tight and I think Brady went crying to daddy. That's why Belichick was pissed and that's part of what was the beginning of the end. Brady and Belichick never reconciled and s**t started happening with Brady's TB12 guy. Belichick not letting him into the facility, etc. Am I the only one that followed this? I feel like it's too easy to see that the people who can't see it don't want to. Of course all of this is my opinion coupled with several months/ years of reports.

It's pretty clear it's about Jimmy. But admitting that confirms that a great player like Brady thinks little of Jimmy, which makes 49er fans uncomfortable.

Can't say definitively who he's talking about, because how would I know. That said, seems more like folks that just don't like jimmy want this comment to be about him. Maybe it is, but none of us know

I agree. My preference would be to keep Jimmy until just before the week one roster is set in case there is an injury out there. People will restructure to make room for a quarterback, and Jimmy would have to approve any job where he keeps his $25m and starts, because he can't get that otherwise. Putting him on the roster for week one guarantees his contract, and I would not do that. Maybe a desperate team would still pick up his contract, but then they wouldn't want to pay us draft capital too, and all of that is unlikely, so we might as well just cut him before the season.

Bottom line, if nothing better materializes before the season, just cut him. It's a cap league, and it can be moved from year to year, so imo, all talk of not "needing" it this year or next is insane. If he's not our intended starter for the season, and he's not, just move on.

Yep just cut Jimmy and start a rookie with Rosen or Sudfeld backing him up because it's more important to have cap space than a legitimate proven backup QB behind a rookie, it was proven last season after Jimmy went down the offense didn't miss a single beat with Mullens and Beathard. Makes sense

Of course we "missed a beat" with Mullens and Beathard, I don't know what we have with Rosen or Sudfeld but Sudfeld's deal is partially guaranteed so somebody must see something, and what I was alluding to was perhaps picking up someone like Gardner Minshew for a lot cheaper than Garoppolo, but I'm just going to leave that up to our FO. Fact is that most quarterbacks don't miss significant time in a given year, and paying your backup high starter money is stupid.

Ownership already gave JL and the FO the green light to carry Jimmy's cap salary for this year so it's not stupid. What's stupid is starting a rookie QB without a legit backup behind him. You said it yourself you don't know what we have in Rosen and Sudfeld, we do in Jimmy. Bringing in Minshew a week before the season starts makes even no sense at all. It's a physical contact sport what if Lance gets injure in the first week, then what? Is Minshew good enough to carry the team after learning KS's playbook in a week? I don't think so.

Let me ask you this. IF Lance gets injure on the first week, who would you rather have to replace him and gives the team the better chance to win. Rosen, Sudfeld, Minshew or Jimmy G??

Minshew, and we don't need to wait until the week before the season starts to ship off a 7th for him.

And just because York lets his football minds run football operations does not mean every available option is by definition not stupid. For the record, I do not believe Lynch and Shanahan are stupid, and therefore, I believe they will do everything they can to maintain Garoppolo's trade value until the last possible moment, and I do not believe they will pay his current salary to ride the pine behind Lynch.

Lol...okay you're really pushing it. I'll take a proven Jimmy G over a overhyped Minshew every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Lance, Jimmy >>>>>>>>>> Lance, Minshew

This is absolutely not true, other than your last sentence (which summarizes my earlier post). No one knows. Period.

However, to make it seem like the people who don't like Jimmy are the ones claiming it's about him is absolutely wrong. There are people on TV saying it's about Jimmy. There are people who are hsrdcore fans of him thinking it's about Jimmy. Cmon man. Not everything has to be about people hating him or people loving him.

I'm not making it seem like anything. It's simply an observation based on what I'm reading. Never said anything about hating him or loving him

What are you guys talking about?

Minshew/Lance for $5M or Jimmy/Lance for $30+M ?

Garoppolo: "You're sticking with that motherf**ker...who just took you to a Super Bowl?"

Trubisky: "You're sticking with that motherf**ker...who has never won a playoff game?"

Tannehill: "You're sticking with that motherf**ker...who threw for 120 ypg in the playoffs last year?"

Carr: "You're sticking with that motherf**ker...who has never even thrown a pass in a postseason game?"

Tyrod Taylor: "You're sticking with that motherf**ker...who hasn't been a starter since 2017?"

Did he want to play for all those teams? just asking because I didn't read anywhere that he actually wanted to play for those teams, but rather they were "interested"

Honestly who cares

I do. Y'all are using literal tabloids as an argument now lol. That's about as low as it gets
