Francisco 49ers this year. With one thing in common with
the Rams are starting quarterback is done for the rest of
the year,
unless he isn't the news came Sunday from the mouth of Kyle
Shannon said, it himself, Jimmy Garoppolo has a broken bone in
his foot
and he's out for the year
and now he's not
know foot surgery, required for Jimmy Garoppolo
and he could return in seven to eight.
Week. Seven weeks, puts him at the divisional, round of
the playoffs. Now, this wasn't anything. The 49ers said, this
could be wishful thinking
from garoppolo's
standpoint. He's got a lot of money tied to his ability to play.
He's got big bonuses on the line
for postseason play. He's got a strong financial incentive to
try to get back,
but he could be back and, you know, one of the very real
questions
will be and this gets back to the deck. Prescott Cooper Rush
conversation all technically he's healthy enough to play.
But do we really want him to play
if Brock / D has
five more games under his belt? In addition to the one that he
just got on Sunday and everything's clicking, do we
really want to upset the apple cart then? So I, yeah, you
know, the news is he could be back in 78 weeks. I think
the analysis is,
are they going to want him
in seven or eight weeks? Are they going to be content to
stick with the guy who will have had six games of
experience going into the playoffs? Yeah, yeah, well,
I think that that will play a big factor in it just to see how he
develops here and he certainly didn't seem overwhelmed on
Sunday, that's for sure. Did a,
did a really good job when you when you think of all
the circumstances there but you know Mike yeah you're you're
saying it right.
I mean I don't know, you know first off
he could be back in seven or eight weeks alright so he could
be back but that doesn't mean like he's game ready? Ready to
play in a football game in eight weeks
that means he could be back on the practice.
Is field and then we can see how it goes from there. And
again, it's a, it's a foot injury here where
you're not going to be able to throw a whole lot here.
You're not going to do anything for a while, okay? Then maybe
we get five or six down, weeks down the road. Okay, maybe you
could stand there and throw, okay. But now, all right, now
it's that seven or eight week Mark?
Oh wait, wait. Now you could start moving. I mean, you're
just going to start moving that. Hey, you can start
cutting. Hey, we'll let you drop back and step up in
the pocket and make a throw.
And that's where, yeah, that'll be dicey, Mike? And that's
where they're going to have to balance weight is Brock party
doing good enough to where we let
Jimmy keep getting better and maybe he could play for us in
the Super Bowl or something like that. We give them another
week or two in practice
or is Brock / D. So bad that damn Jimmy Garoppolo at eighty
percent or 75 percent is good enough and let's throw him back
in there.
Then that's the decision they'll make here. But yeah
I have a hard time thinking be ready Wild Divisional round
even though that's the week time frame that's you know,
kind of set up right now,
is another factor that just occurred to me too.
I think that if they become comfortable
with Brock / d
as the alternative to Trail ants in 2023, Lance for some
reason is either still injured or has a new injury or just
isn't very good. Why do you want to complicate your life
for next year by reintroducing? The Garoppolo factor into
the mix. You know? Because the report
was out there Sunday, not that it's really news.
The door isn't closed on Jimmy G, staying with the 49ers next
year, we'll know crap, it's not closed. There's still chapters
left in this book. We're still trying to see what the 49ers
are going to be, and if they get to the Super Bowl
and if they win it, of course, Jimmy, garoppolo's going to be
back next year. You're not gonna let him walk away.
Assuming you can
convince him to stay, that's the problem. The more
attractive he is to you, the more attractive he is everyone
else and you've got your starter supposedly. You're only
going to keep him
by paying him starter money. Because there's going to be
somebody else that wants to if he has some great finished.
He's my point is this.
You avoid all that crap.
If you are happy with Brock / D. Yeah, if you're content for
him to be your alternative to trade Lance
and you just don't want to re complicate your life
with this. When will we finally rip the Band-Aid off of
the Jimmy Garoppolo experiment? The Band-Aids currently off, let's
not put it back on. I think that,
you know, and I know when you get into playoff mode, Chris
you just want to win games. But if things are closed, As yeah,
I think
that's a reason to say. Li are you we're past the Garoppolo
face, right? We are Lansing Purdy for 23 24 and 25.
I don't disagree with your thought there and I think
you're right. If he can close that Gap to where they go,
wait, you know, Jimmy being on the field is here and Brock
Purdy's right here, right now. With way, he's played and
Jimmy's not 100%.
I don't disagree with your thought there, you know. Tie
goes to Purdy, tie goes to the
No
less dysfunctional conversation for our off season or chuppah
or whatever you want to say there.
I could see that I could and I wouldn't be shocked if we saw
Brock Purdy. No, look pretty good and manage this offense
and Shanahan.
And there was ever a flaw
and Kyle Shanahan.
It might have been
like maybe being too aggressive and not managing games at
times, right? We're like when he had Nick Mullens a few years
ago Go. He was still running an offense and being aggressive
and I just want to go damn
you know he's gonna throw an interception or get strip sack
fumbled. That's just what he's gonna do and I'd watch the game
and go gosh. If he would just kneel on the ball, the whole
game, they're going to win the game because their defense is
good enough and he'll come up with some trick play
and they'll they'll get it done. And I think
he has been less. You know, aggressive maybe
asking Jimmy to do something crazy every now and then and
he'll manage party the right way and they got the team to
manage. And Purdy's played a lot of college football.
That's the other thing. They got going for them to.
This is not a guy like Trey Lancer was like, well, he
barely played in college, let alone. He hasn't played in
the NFL Purdy. Got four years of a ton of pro offense experience
in Iowa State,
Shanahan run the ball, right? Hey
you little short passes pie, defense,
Shanahan, I'll come up with a few trick plays screens
reverses speed sweeps. Like, we always see and we'll all wet
block party looks pretty good and and they can
Do that then they can still be a real pain in the ass and for
everybody in the NFC
Brock / D, the guy who looks like someone that you think you
should know who it is and it drives you crazy until you
figure out who it is. In a few weeks, we may be saying we know
who Brock /. T looks like he looks like he looks birdie.
Birdie good.
