I know you guys are going to think I'm crazy, but I wouldn't trade JG for anything less than two first rounders. The cap is going to go up and we won't have to pay first rounders for two years. We can probably make it work with our draft picks and keeping both QB's.
LET JG & Tray really fight it out, best man wins.
I just think we will need more than one QB in order to win long term. Tray is a runner and JG is injury prone. They may be able to compliment one another well for at least one more year.
I really like Jimmy, I think most know that. But we ain't getting 2 firsts for him.
If they stand firm and demand 2 firsts then he's the overpriced house on the market. No takers. People have to realize how other teams view him and not what Niner fans or coaches think of him. You can't ignore his injury history. I can't think of any QB that's missed 2 seasons in 4 years because of injury, ever being traded for 2 first round picks.
The price will be based on his performance. The health issue is easily resolved by conditional picks, a la Carson Wentz. If the seeker demands conditional protection, it will come at the cost of a firm 2nd this year in addition to whatever else will be included. A conditional 2nd next year that could become a 1st is worth much less than a 1st this year. The FO will push this scenario.
When looking at Garoppolo, they will look first of all at how well he plays between picks and a missed pass here and there. Every good QB misses on occasion and throws some picks. The last GB game I watched had Rodgers missing a WIDE OPEN Davante Adams in the end zone on a simple 20-yard pass. Adams expressed his disappointment but went on. I'm not suggesting there is any comparison between the two. I'm only pointing out that Jimmy's failures are often inflated. In this case, had he not made some outstanding throws in the first half, what happened in the 2nd half would not be in the discussion.
As others have noted, there is a dearth of quality QBs that will be available this off-season. Denver and Pittsburgh are at the top of a long list. Both teams are better than their record. What they lack is a QB. They will be competing with each other for Jimmy...if the FO does go ahead with a trade. Both teams have cap room and Denver has plenty of draft picks to invest.
