We have to hope the Colts are stupid enough to not realize they are the only team interested in Jimmy.

This sucks.

 

[kwh3]

Tomlinson to the Jets. Banks better be ready this season…

 

[thasoleful1]

O-line taking a hit, but then again I just hope our current staff and whoever we bring in can protect a running QB

 

[dland24]

Imagine if we had $26M off the books by now. SMFH.

I wouldn't BANK on it

 

[lightweight champion]

What are we doing. Trubisky to the Steelers. We’re running out of suitors especially with Watsons name still out there. Indy, Saints, Seattle and that’s about it.

The Steelers have been eliminated from playoff contention

 

[Fozz]

That would be nuts if the Niners/Bucs are really manufacturing a deal to trade for Tom Brady lol.

Would you make the same claim if they traded for Jimmy?

Got me there

Trubisky has 64 career TD passes. 15 of those are against the Lions.

Of those 64 TDs, 15 of them were go ahead TDs. Sounds good, right? Of those 15 go ahead TDs, 9 of them were in the FIRST QUARTER to go up 7-0 or 7-3.

Of those 64 TDs, 15 of them added on to existing double digit leads.

Tell me you don’t watch the games without telling me you don’t watch the games g

I would say that QBR comp % and TD / InT ratio only tell part of the story, and that they're also heavily and conveniently cherry-picking by limiting those stats to 2020/2021

conveniently making sure their sample doesn't include Jimmy G's best statistical season

while omitting one of Mitch's worst

then there's the playoffs...

if I had a gun to the head and had to choose one of them to start a playoff game I know who I would pick

 

[heatseeker23]

BUT I will say I am starting to get nervous

we're past the deadline where I thought we would have an answer to the Jimmy G trade question

and if they can't get someone to bite they're going to have to do something messy like resign and restructure JG

 

[lightweight champion]

No to restructure. Trade him or cut him.

My point is not that Mitch is better than Jimmy nor even on the same level. But the plain and simple fact is, our fanbase overrated the hell out of Jimmy and his "record."

While Jimmy is better, there are plenty of QBs out there that can be acquired for cheap or even free that are perceived to be not much worse. I'd say this Pitt situation speaks to that.

It's comical to me that "stats only tell part if the story" yet Jimmy's and Mitch's team playoff success doesn't qualify the same way.

IMO, you can't simply point to the fact that Jimmy is 5-2 (laughable in and of itself considering one of Jimmy's "wins" he took 2 snaps in a 40 point blowouts with New England)....and ignore that he has been downright terrible in the playoffs as a whole.

Wins and losses are team stats.

Nope. Bring the scissors out.

 

[lightweight champion]

While Jimmy is better

All that needed to be said. There’s a better QB that could’ve been had for Pittsburgh and they didn’t go get him. They made the wrong move.

 

[lightweight champion]

Scratch JC Jackson off our board

 

[heatseeker23]

realistically they were probably never in the running for him, but it woulda been sweet

now to watch some other team grab stephon gilmore

 

[heatseeker23]

there's still a couple teams that need a QB tho

i'd say there's still a chance 9ers work out a deal with someone

 

[dland24]

If that is all that needed to be said, they would have chosen the better QB. Obviously there is a lot more that goes into it than simply choosing who they think is better. If thats the case, Jimmy would have been traded by now.

Its not that Jimmy is worse that Mitch. Its that the situations surrounding acquiring and paying the two factor into the decision.

 

[dland24]

L lightweight champion look at it this way my friend....

What provides more value to teams?

a- Jimmy with a new contract + whatever it would take to get him
b- FA market (Trubisky, Winston, Mariota, etc.) with a cheap contract

A wasnt and isnt a slam dunk decision. I think that should be obvious based on how it has gone so far. Jimmy is better than Mitch. But its about value, not just straight up who is better than who?

I’m not just speaking about taking Trubisky over Jimmy. They also took themselves out of the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes with this move. It was wrong on more than one level.
