And no you don't have to give Garoppolo a big contract just yet, you have the entire 2017 season to evaluate him. Hypothetically speaking, even if the 9ers weren't sure by the end of the 2017 season, they could still franchise tag him if they want.
Your not trading a 2nd overall pick if your not all in lol...part of a trade will be signing him man. There's no debating that.
You can't have it both ways lol. With a rookie qb you get leeway because well he's a rookie and he's cheap...JG is gonna be expected to go day 1 and get paid to do that....If He sucks and you let him go after two yrs PLUS lose the 2nd overall pick? lol any GM is getting fired over that s**t.
That's I why I think Lynch and Shanahan play it safe...Drafting a QB at 2 or a megatrade to get Grappalo is huge gamble especially when you are newly hired.
What is the safe move? Cutler or Hoyer? Either would make me skeptical of the new bunch.
Drafting a QB outside the first round is safe. I agree I'm skeptical of Cutler, Hoyer or Schaub, Gabbert etc. Cousins is not a FQB.. The jury is out Garrapolo..I wouldn't take a chance on him.
Let's face it ..The 49ers are not going to win now. Lynch himself said his weary of starting a Rookie, which means they have no plans to play a rookie this year (throw him in the fire). If so, they can't be in this next years QB class is better Ill wait mode..because that QB won't start either.
Philadelphia and Dallas started rookies. Now they each have a year under they're belt. I think the 49ers should go the route of drafting 2 QBs increasing they're chances of a find and start and develop him now. If they go the other route, in the next few years they'll be throwing in Fitzpatricks, Schaubs, and Hoyers and end up no where in revolving door of retreads.
.
It is safe if they can get their FQB in the second round or later, if they fail to get a FQB they will be failures. They might get a pass this year but they better have one on track by the end of 2018, getting a jump by identifying one this year would be the best bet.
The retread possibility worries me.
