Not surprised. Every year this happens with a younger Quarterback, everyone freaks out till the next young QB signs a record deal the next year. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Yikes! MANY quarterbacks are smiling today.

That is insane.

Not really. It's only slightly more than Stafford and Carr and I think Garoppolo is better than Carr. They couldn't afford not to lock Jimmy G up.

Based on a short amount of work yes, but Mitchell was never considered to have the same potential that Garoppolo has.

Sherman remarked, "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant looked up. "Yes," he replied, followed by a puff. "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow, though."

Stafford and Carr have at least proven to be good, if not at times great, NFL QB's. Jimmy G has merely indicated that he CAN be that, not that he will. This time next year SF could easily be back on the hunt for a QB.

it may look bad at first, the Niners have very little talent. Their O Line is atrocious.

Great signing today.

That's why the Jimmy for a 2nd rounder wasn't such a simple trade, because you immediately had to pay him.

I wonder when NFL teams will figure out that you aren't winning very much with a highly paid QB unless they are on a hall of fame trajectory. Maybe Lynch is right and he will be.

Only a matter of time before he grows an afro and starts kneeling for the anthem, now.

Or he's the next Matt Flynn?

Well they've spent three straight first round picks (two of those picks top 10, one top 5) on good-not-great defensive ends and now have the NFL's largest contract on their books. I don't know, optimism isn't springing eternal for me wrt the 49ers.

I know it was a short term but Garropolo not only looked good but he looked like a franchise. That team was transformed into a winning team simply by his presence
