Garoppolo to the 49ers

This will take an attractive suitor off the table for Cousins, but the reality of the NFL is that there will always be plenty of suitors for a decent qb that doesn't have to be bought with draft picks.

Imgaine this scenario: Eli Manning retires at the end of the season and the Giants manage to sign Cousins. Then we get torched by Wentz, Prescott and Cousins for the foreseeable future.

Looks like Kyle will give Jimmy Garoppolo a test-drive as 49ers QB of the future:

New England Patriots trade Jimmy Garoppolo to San Francisco 49ers for draft pick (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21230962/new-england-patriots-trade-jimmy-garoppolo-san-francisco-49ers-draft-pick)

If he performs well, I cannot see John Lynch breaking the bank to sign Kirk in the offseason.

This move earns my seal of approval.

Jimmy has a chance to be good and he should easily be better than what they have at the QB position now.

I think the timing of this move is excellent. By bringing in Jimmy G. now the team should be energized and Jimmy will have an opportunity to settle in so he'll be ready to go next season.

I'm sort of not happy about the Jimmy G. deal because I'm a cousins Fan and was hoping that if he walks from here after this season (very likely), that he lands in San Fran. Now it kind of looks like if he doesn't get signed here, he will have his suitors but they are all shit teams. My buddy at work who is a skins fan thinks that Cousins could get signed by the Browns....that sure sucks to imagine Cousins being part of that shit show. I just don't see Kirk being a guy who is content to win 1 or 2 games a season...

Dumb trade by 49ers. Why not ride the season out and draft a QB at the top of the draft


Because they got their guy for a 2nd and still have their top pick.

Taking SF out of the mix greatly improves the chance we keep him for a few reasons.
1- cap and cash space just shifted dramatically in our favor. SF could have out paid both in total value and cash up front. Jax who I think would be a good fit has only 2M available in next year's cap right now. We have 58M but with a several one year deals to redo.
2- The KC Shanahan connection is now irrelevant. That means ego on all sides is tamped down a notch or two.
3- with the line back and rested KC should feel good about our chances and may have loyalty to Gruden since he has always been a KC supporter.

No one knows what will happen, but this deal ups our odds of keeping KC.

I think SF knows they need much more than just a qb so that's y they made this trade now. We'll see if he's good or another Matt cassel

It was a brilliant move by the 49ers. They only gave up ONE second round pick for Jimmy G. ONE SECOND ROUND pick!! That is a freakin' bargain. Now the 49ers have all sorts of avenues in next year's draft, plus they have a quarterback who's learned from the GOAT. He's well established and ready to play. And not only that, the 49ers get to get him worked in this season. By next season, JG will know the system and be ready to go. The 49ers can now focus on rebuilding their offensive line and their defense.

And this is great for us! Greatly reduces Cousins' chances of moving on. I would be shocked if he went to Cleveland or NY Jets. The Cardinals could be a strong possibility as well as the Jags, but the leverage is strongly back in the 'skins favor in my opinion.

Hasn't hoodie pulled this trick before? How did that work out?

That makes me think the hoodie knows something no one else does. Tom Brady is 40 and last time I checked father time was undefeated.
