How long will JimmyG retain the 49ers starting job?

This. Develop his potential, then see what he can do. Jimmy G will be fine/great as long as he gets protection.

I think it's a long shot they trade Jimmy, they won't get much, plus we're a super bowl caliber team, we need Jimmy, Lance needs to sit, but they shoul create plays just for him. As Jimmy's contract, I don't think many, if any can fit his salary under their cap. Only the Jags have room after signing their picks, and they don't need a QB. Denver might if they redid some deals but as I have said I'd rather keep him and make SB run.

are we?

Yes they are.

This is the dumbest thread ever and deserves to be immediately locked. It's disgusting. Not Just That is rude and ridiculous to Jimmy G but also is exactly the attitude that will blow up Trey Lance from having any chance of success in the NFL after being drafted number 3 at 20 years old playing for North Dakota State University. This is the dumbest thread ever and if it's not locked in 5 post I will absolutely blow my stack and lose all respect for the web zone as a place of intelligent and interesting commentary relating to the San Francisco 49ers

Are you okay?

It's gonna be okay. 👍👍

Everyone knew how I felt about Jimmy...I also don't think he's trash. Let Jimmy be the starter this yr (as long as he's healthy) the locker room still loves him and when he plays we win. Let Lance come along and get confident/conformable with everything. Throw a little package together that get's him on the field a couple snaps per game.

Jimmy get's to increase his trade stock, help himself build up a new contract and help the team win now. win/win.

This was always my ideal scenario and I think Lance and Jimmy are the ideal players to make this work.

I know I'm in the minority here but sooner the better.

I think the over/under is 7 games. Some combination of injury, poor play, and/or Lance just being better than Jimmy will push them to make the switch.

And I doubt heavily that Jimmy will actually get traded, I think he'll get cut. Unless he has a renaissance season. I can't imagine he has much trade value if Bridgewater was traded for a 6th and his contract isn't as big an albatross as Jimmy's is.

If Alex Smith can have a Renaissance season with mahomes behind him, Jimmy can too. Everyone acts like he's some pushover scrub. Only an injury will unseat jimmy. I expect a big season from him

This. Garoppolo's primary problem is that he has issues staying healthy, not that he can't perform. He has a good grasp of the offense, the respect of the locker room and all the incentive in the world to play out of his mind this season.

Too many people are acting like he's a scrub when the team wins with him far more often than not while losing large numbers of games with other QBs.

If the online can be better against bull rushes, Jimmy will do better this year compared to 2020. I do think odds are high that once Lance goes in, he doesn't come back out.

And the thing is, probably the same people who said Bridgewater wasn't an upgrade over Jimmy are saying if Bridgewater only fetches a 6th round pick then that doesn't bode well for Jimmy's trade value.

That just goes to show how jumbled up some people's minds here have become over Jimmy G.

If the vast majority opinion is he's better than Bridgewater at least than it doesn't matter what Denver paid for him. Bridgewater has settled in as a backup/short term starter and that's what the league as a whole seems to think he is. Jimmy may or may not be trending that way if he keeps missing time due to injury. But as it is, he still has the 2019 season in which he was a Pro Bowl alternate and he has supposedly the greatest coach of all time who would have made him his starter this year if we had traded him back to New England.

It's like people get caught up in the negatives and maybe what he can't do, or hasn't shown he can do, and ignore the big picture that he's a more than competent NFL starting QB.

If a contending team loses its quarterback,
If that team needs a new starter
If it offers at least a round one selection for Jimmy
If ShanaLynch feels that's enough
If Shanahan is assured that Lance is ready,
Maybe during the season.

Jimmy is non-functional behind a bad OL - but, that goes for any other QB in the league. He needs a supporting cast to play his best.

My guess is he plays the season then we ship him afterwards.
