So when Trey signs today will your excitement level have a slight uptick?

I'll even root for him to be the Day 1 starter.

I'm totally down for that scenario too.

Curious to see your rankings of QBs considering you have Jimmy G as below average. Who are some average QBs in the league?

i want the guy who wins the competition fair and square. i do not care the names. i am not emotionally invested in either one. just whoever and whatever gives us the best chance to win. if trey does set out some time with his contract thing. well. i am sure jimmy will take full advantage of that

Let's say they ask Jimmy to rip up his contract and take a 1yr $12M deal (12th highest paid QB this yr and more in line with what he is) toss some incentives in there.

That's $41.4M that you can then use in 2022 (an extra $14.4M for this yr/roll over)
If they just ride it out and cut him then they get $25.6M in 2022.

I never said we "couldn't" make moves, where did I say that? I said I would absolutely like to have an extra $41M in extra cap space instead of $25.6M heading into 2022, or at least have that option. Why would you not? We got a QB that overall isn't worth his current cap hit, might not be the year long starter, AND injury prone...but you're totally fine giving him all that money? No thanks.

Why wouldn't Bosa sit out if he balls out this yr? They can still give him an extension (and still have the 5th yr option and 4th yr on the deal). He will want a hefty signing bonus though. That extra money can help with all kinds of things, given that we don't have any 1sts for years.

People assuming we can trade Jimmy is also a reach imo. I'll take that extra cash to pay our own or a couple good FAs vs banking on getting a day 2 or 3 pick for Jimmy down the road.

I mean reducing his cap hit this yr, makes it more likely they could move him before the deadline just as well.

This all is depending on how everyone looks during TC too.

I mean because once again you're insinuating that if Jimmy doesn't take a pay cut we're somehow screwed cap wise but that's not the case.

Am i fine with giving Jimmy all that money? No. But it's not my money. If they feel paying him that money so he plays nice nice all year before working with us to get him traded then I'm good with it.

Why would Bosa sit out? Nobody has been sitting out after the latest CBA. Bosa isn't from a family strapped for cash. His brother just cashed in after his 4th season. Yet you want to act like Nick will sit out the season if we don't extend him after his 3rd year and only 2 years on the field?

You're reaching for straws hard to make your basic point which is filled with feelings vs rationality. How about we stick to facts vs hypotheticals?

That's called rooting for the name on the helmet and not the name on the back of the jersey. I'm with you. I root for the Niners first and any individual 2nd. It's been that way for me ever since free agency and the salary cap has caused a constant movement for players. I find it hard to root for guys that are one year rentals.

Players come and go but teams usually stay. Unless of course it's the Raiders.

Wait… NY is saying that if we get Jimmy to take a pay cut we save 20million.

YOU'RE the one saying "we're screwed cap wise" if we don't make the same move.

Now who's reaching for straws?

Facts vs Hypotheticals? Are you saying NY's #'s are wrong?

From the horse's mouth. There's no QB competition. Jimmy's the #1 and Trey's the #2. Sorry guys, but sometimes you need to be realistic.

Kyle already said that if Lance looks like he's ready to compete then it will be an open competition.

Selective hearing some of you…

Of course he's going to say that, first he sends a message to Trey's agent, no chance if he doesn't report.

Also he takes the pressure off Trey, win win

Well Wilson's contract SHOULD be better than Lance's. He got drafted ahead of him.

I'm confident Lance isn't going to miss that first practice. I'd be absolutely shocked if he isn't signed by then.
