Freelance talk yesterday
as well on his relationship with the former starting
quarterback of the 49ers.
Yeah. So listen to Jimmy the less yesterday he was in
an Souza first physical. So yeah. I mean,
it is it is it's nothing weird at all. Like I said, I've never
had anything I could possibly say. It's bad about Jimmy.
I mean, he's been a big bro, to me since the day I came in
he could have made things hell for me honestly last year.
He didn't he help me out with everything
so I'm super excited to see him healthy. Super
To see him throwing again and super sad to see what he does.
It really is strange. They're basically keeping him away from
the team and he's okay with it. If he wanted to force
the issue, he could, but I think he's realized that for now, his
interests are aligned with the 49ers because if there is that,
that,
uh, oh, quarterback gone for the year, not only do
the 49ers, get a good trade recovery,
he gets something closer to his 25 million
if there's a team that's
All of a sudden desperate for a starting quarterback but at
some point at some point, he's going to want out and maybe as
soon as that last preseason game is played.
That's when he says, I want out. Don't hold me up until
the absolute last minute before my salary becomes fully
guaranteed because I'm on the roster as of Week 1, I think
one of the cuts at the latest, when the cut 253 happens,
that's when he's going to be gone.
Yeah, it's interesting to Mike.
Give me the wrapper is not you know,
he's not one of worst quarterbacks in the league,
right? I mean like I think if I'm being like at worst, he's
a top 20
QB. I would probably put him in the top half of quarterbacks
out there. I mean, he's been to the NFC championship game in
two of the last three seasons, it least, right. And
they went to the Super Bowl obviously
in nineteen. So it's not like he's terrible. There are teams
out there who would absolutely be upgrading
If they got themselves Jimmy Garoppolo, but it's also that
right now you can be like, well, do we really want to do
that and put ourselves in that contractual situation? When we
have somebody that could start? And if we're
not that good, then maybe we get a better draft pick. But if
we get Jimmy Garoppolo then we're going to be better and
maybe we're not going to be in the sweet States for you know
a quarterback like a CJ Stroud who's coming out you
know in next year's draft.
So I it's a weird situation and I guess we're going to kind of
wait for that. Injury. But like, I don't know, like,
do the Texans want to go in there with Davis Mills?
I understand why they would now the Falcons really want to roll
with Marcus Mariota. And well, you got does one router behind
them. So I guess, I understand why they would? It's weird.
We haven't heard anything in the past few days. About teams,
trying to get Jimmy Garoppolo
what occurred on Tuesday. I think sends the message to
anyone out there who had been waiting. Who had been reluctant
to offer? Anything significant just make us an offer
just make us an offer, now's your opportunity and it's
combination of getting a deal with the 49ers and a deal with
Garoppolo because no one's taking on a 25 million-dollar
total compensation commitment. But there's been nothing no
talk. And
remember when
DeShaun Watson gets the
no indictment in that Friday in March immediately.
We started the breathless reporting about this teams,
interested in that teams, interested in that teams
entered, I mean there has been nothing. There hasn't been
a single team
linked seriously
to Jimmy Garoppolo at any point in this offseason that to me
is stunning. Yeah we report that the Seahawks talked about
it. Will you talk?
A lot of things II just wonder whether there's no one out
there. That feels any compulsion whatsoever to try to
trade for the last year of his contract, and they've all just
sat back and said we're content to wait for him to be cut and
then we'll see if we
can work out a deal. And if we can great and if we can't
create but somebody's going to end up with a guy who can be
a pretty good quarterback. I mean, top 20 is still better
than 12.
There's still other guys out there
that are worse than you,
which would say if you if he's a top 20 quarterback.
There should be at least 10 teams that are looking at this
saying, hey maybe this guy
is better than we. Have I keep coming back to Miami. I've been
reluctant to write this because I really don't want to deal
with to and on
but I think he's better from what we've seen body of work.
He's better right now than to a
and all look at this. He knows the offense that former
49ers assistant Mike McDaniel has brought to Miami
I think it's a good argument
but I don't think that
they would want to do it because you want to see how to
it can do in that offense and figure out, you know, if you
want to move on to Tom Brady next year. So I don't know.
I like that's one of those teams where I'm like, yeah, I see why
they would do it,
but I also see why they wouldn't do it. I mean, you
still did invest a first-round pick in that guy and Mike
McDaniel has been very, you know, effusive in his praise of
to a tongue of Isla. Oh my God, what would Tyreke he'll do.
If you replace the most accurate quarterback in the NFL
with Jimmy Garoppolo, who Tyree kills suck, couldn't hit
Emmanuel Sanders down there on a post route so in the Super
Bowl. So I mean, I don't
know what they do then.
Well,
I
look if Garoppolo had delivered the way that he could have and
should have, he would still be the guy
and they would had a hell of a mess.
If Garoppolo had made it
to the Super Bowl
last year. Then they'd have been stuck with him for another
year.
And now we see, we see where Garoppolo I'm rooting for
the guy. I just cuz I believe
he you mentioned the Sanders pass. He could have won a Super
Bowl in, didn't just like Jared Goff if he would have seen
Brandon Cooks sooner than he did. And he should have seen
him because they ran the same day on play in the first half.
They,
I'm telling you,
they ran the same play. Oh boy. This is like pulling up Haile
Mariam 1975. But look, he's open now now. He wasn't wide
open. It wasn't like the Super Bowl three. When was it,
was it Roger or they ran the trick play. And Earl moral just
didn't see him. I mean, he wasn't running completely
uncovered but the throw was there to be made
and I think Tom Brady would have made that throw,
frankly. So anyway,
that may have been the moment where they decided at some
point. They're going to have to make a change. And then he had
the ankle injury week two of the 2019 season, they just
decided between the durability and the ceiling. And we got to
move on, but it doesn't mean
there's no place for,
we'll see, we'll see. Yeah, but it is so odd to me,
that there's been nothing because there's an agenda for Jimmy G,
you or the 49ers, if there's any interest at all,
you want it out there to try to get somebody else. Interested.
It's, we see it all the time.
You want everybody to come to the table? Hey, we got this
team interested. Hey, we got that team entered. A even if
you don't name him, four teams are interested in, Jimmy
Garoppolo. There's usually report like that there has been
nothing, it is
Miles. Yeah. No, it's totally is. I mean if you were to put
some money down today,
right? What would you say that he ends up?
I still feel like he's gonna end up with the Texans. I think
Nick is Stereo is sitting back head low mouth shut, he drafted
the guy now. Do they really? I mean look, I know, Davis Mills
was better than they expected last year.
The question is, do they really want to explore what his
ceiling is or do they want to try to win nine or ten games
this year II? Don't know. I don't know.
And the other possibility. Somebody, somebody said
I don't know if it was Sims or who
the Cowboys would be a,
just a place where I can go and be the backup behind
a quarterback, who possibly will get injured
and then I could play
and if I get to play some,
then I become a free agent next year and I go somewhere else
and have a chance to be a starter until the team that
signs me drafts. A first rounder I mean that's the Mitch
true Biscay model he disappeared as a back. Stop for
all of 20 21
and he ends up being the starter in Pittsburgh until
they drive Kenny Pickett. Now, who the hell knows what's going
to happen? And that would put Jimmy G right back in the spot
that he was in last year, where he's the starter, but they've
drafted a guy in round one. So, who knows what's going on? So
it's something else to keep an eye on
as training camp.
