What we are seeing now is what the coaches saw months ago. This kid just keeps checking the boxes.
Yeah, that was really shocking. Sudfeld looked good in preseason too. They must've really seen something in practice that made them keep Brock.
Im glad they did. However, if he keeps winning we'll have a QB controversy on our hands x2. Jimmy is already looking like he's not getting his job back. With Trey it's hard to say
Don't be so sure the organization will ditch JG. They like him. Jed York likes him. The Cap in NFL is increasing. JG has shown he is willing to compromise. I can see a few scenarios where they might keep him. But on the balance he may well go somewhere else.
I guess anything is possible. Do you think Jimmy would take backup type money to stay here and compete?
He did this season and balled out. He may take a gamble again or he might get a good offer elsewhere and take it.
What I know is he seems loyal to the organization and the locker room love him and visa versa. Jed York loves him.
I can see a scenario where all three stay and duke it out in training camp. It is hard to know what people are really thinking in FO as well as what the QBs are thinking.
But remember JG has earned over $100 million. When you have that much money, money is not necessarily at the forefront of your thinking anymore. JG is set for life already. He may want to stay at San Fran and eventually move on from playing to a coaching or FO role. He may want to try another team if he likes that team. Too many people here think very narrowly such "Oh but he would get better money if he went there because that is what I would do". I know if I had over $100 million in income I would have a couple of nice houses and a couple of nice investments and would not need to work 9-5 anymore in an office, factory or drive Ubers. I could do want I like and I would do whatever makes me happy. So if JG was happy with staying at the 49ers I am sure he would come to a deal as money does not matter to him really, does it?
