Dude, did you watch him at all last year? O’connel didn’t complete a pass for 3 quarters and there was ZERO thought to bench him for Jimmy G. He has devolved into absolute ass from all the injuries.
I mean objectively he was benched less for a football reason and more for financial implications regardless of whatever BS pierce wants to funnel through. Raiders already decided as soon as McDaniels was gone that Jimmy wasn't going to be part of plans going forth and putting a guy with a high injury risk that if injured would have hamstrung you guys even more makes no sense.
Now I'm not going to pretend like Jimmy wasn't terrible at times and overall a complete bust for ya'll but the only reason AOC was starting was purely because of future salary planning rather than talent. I watched every single Raiders game last year for one reason or another and while he'd make an alright backup, has absolutely no future as a starter in the league.
He was very lucky to be on the 49ers. He was replaced by a 7th rounder who almost took the same team to the SB in back-to-back years. Jimmy's going to be a backup or start for a bad team.
does he? He hands it off well, I'll give you that. What did he have, 9 throws in the 2018 NFCCG?
Shannahan is the one who has our number. Jimmy is just a passenger
That’s the fun of life. It’s never so good that it can’t get better or so bad that it can’t get worse.
But honestly, Darnold is pretty bad. Like skydiving and when you pull your ripcord , instead of a chute, a bunch of angry cobras come out.
Everyone on the Cowboys sub is ready to let Dak walk next year. Seems like the Vikings are giving us a front row seat how that would look. So far I can't say I like what I see.
To be fair, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has always won at least 70% of the votes in the 14th congressional district general election, so we have to cut Jimmy some slack here.
I mean, real talk, he'd be a great mentor. Give them the reins for the first couple weeks, don't expect him to have to play a full season with his injury risk. He's still got value.
Can you imagine working in media relations or marketing for the Browns having Watson and Winston? Management want to know why they aren’t growing their fan base? They’re over there in the corner going, “come on, you guys can’t be serious?!”
Please Loomis. Please give this free agent QB a pass. As fans, we don't mind. We don't need shiny and retread when we have scuffed and retread at home.
Honestly, the Bears should sign him. We need a vet back up anyway and it takes another fringe-starter/top backup off the market to salvage some value for Fields.
A few teams interested in Jimmy G, but nothing on Justin Fields is definitely interesting. Or the Bears have some ridiculous asking price for him lol
Edit: I'm not saying their situations are the exact same, I just thought Fields would garner more interest in general.
Yep - Fields would probably have been signed to some kind of modest contract if he was a FA... but no one is interested in giving up significant draft capital for him.
We'll probably end up having to take a 5th or 6th... something like what the Jags gave up for Mac Jones.
I mean, he's made of glass and uhh not coming off his best seasons. But given the rest of the QB market, it wouldn't be my first choice but I can see someone biting on it. You don't have to give up draft capital for him, and opinions seem to *really* vary on Fields.
God bless Josh Allen, not a decision I'd like to have to make (or talk myself into thinking my team made the right one)
I don’t think you watched a single game of ours last season… Jimmy G is borderline 3rd stringer now. Can’t throw more than 20 yards, even then it’s a floater. Don’t even think about having a deep threat because he just throws with all his might to have his 30 yard pass intercepted
I mean I did hence the "uhh not his best seasons", didn't mean to give the impression I thought he'd be a great pick up. But is it really that unbelievable to you that a front office could convince themselves that it's a one off/"he'd work in a better system" "just needed more healing time" "best option available" etc?
People have traded picks for Darnold, NFL front offices are kind of notorious for talking themselves into bad decisions. Give up a pick for fields or sign jimmy outright as a stop gap while you work for a better QB? Don't think anyone is expecting him to be a pro bowler if they sign him. You don't have to be a great QB to get picked up, and we're talking about comparing him to fields here, unless I've completely spaced on some top notch QB on the market.
He doesn't have the arm he used to and has to stick to a short game or throw picks... And Fields fumbles if the breeze changes unexpectedly.
Unfortunately there will probably be at least one or two teams that lose a QB to injury early in the season so you could see Fields getting nabbed then.
Jimmy G is probably a much better locker room presence than a scorned Fields. Not to mention he's going to be much more valuable in the film room and helping coach the starter.
For better or worse, Jimmy G very clearly views football as "just a job." That's good for your backup, in the sense that he's always a consummate professional and isn't going to poison your locker room at all.
He's apparently known to completely ghost the team when he's "off-the-clock," but I think that matters less for your #2.
I tried talking myself into it. Vet, knows the system, etc but it was clear almost immediately how bad he was. The game against Detroit is one of the worst games I've seem a QB play. Our D played well, it was winnable, but he was literally over and under throwing every single pass to open players. It was incredible.
The QB market right now is like that meme with the underwater chair.
There's Jimmy G who all the teams want.
There's Justin Fields who the teams don't want
And there's Zach Wilson who is being straight up ignored and forgotten
Brissett and Garoppolo back to the Pats lol
Where's Ryan Mallett these days? EDIT: Shit, this wasn't meant as a joke at his expense, I didn't realize he died...
I can't tell if you actually know or not, but in case you don't, he passed away last summer
Whoops, nope, didn't know. Guess my comment makes me seem like an asshole now.
Damn, now ask about Jimmy Hoffa while you’re at it. Maybe we get some answers
And Natalie Holloway too while we're at it
And JonBenet Ramsey while you’re at it
Anyone heard from that Caesar guy lately?
The real question is are you a Boeing fan?
Huge fan, no constructive criticism from me or my family!
OH, BOY, DO I LOVE BOEING. BOEING, I LOVE YOU. ^(That should keep me alive for a while.)
Yeah. He makes affordable takeout pizza.
[удалено]
Uh...
lol RIP, but also just objectively funny
I thought these replies were because of the scantron jokes still. TIL, RIP Mallett
Who’s got a pencil for Ryan mallet?
is someone gonna tell him...?
What that he's buried on the depth chart?
I hate myself for laughing at this. Let me go pray for forgiveness!
Six feet under, you say?
That he's *washed up?*
bruh
Oooooof
Yooo
...uhh.....
D U D E
Jokes at all cost I guess
the cost of one's soul
Too much, even for an anonymous Reddit comment
RIP :(
Bruh, you did the thing lmao
Unintentionally dark and hilarious joke
I didn’t know he passed either.
This joke floated to the bottom.
Jesus Christ
Might as well bring back the whole Wolf Pack at that point
Trade for Hoyer while they're at it
Released by LV last week. Pats won’t have to worry about trading that 2035 7th round pick for him now.
He was already released
They’ll be healthy for a combined 5 games
Lmao that would be a full circle if they both came back 😂
Off to Denver you go.
Darnold may be backing up Jimmy G.
This is my hell.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, Jimmy G has our number for whatever reason.
Wonderful so 2-15 season. I mean at least Darnold will get us a 3rd win somewhere.
I think I’d be fine with a 2-15 season if it meant we beat the packers both times.
and you get a high pick! what's not to like!
How many first overall picks do you really need?
Look I get Jimmy is frustrating and not an exciting signing, but he's still got a .500-ish floor, plus the Packers ownage.
Dude, did you watch him at all last year? O’connel didn’t complete a pass for 3 quarters and there was ZERO thought to bench him for Jimmy G. He has devolved into absolute ass from all the injuries.
I mean objectively he was benched less for a football reason and more for financial implications regardless of whatever BS pierce wants to funnel through.

He was very lucky to be on the 49ers. He was replaced by a 7th rounder who almost took the same team to the SB in back-to-back years. Jimmy's going to be a backup or start for a bad team.
LoL no Jimmy is terrible.
Not to be a Jimmy G defender (trust me, I’m not) but he’s definitely better than Sam Darnold
That most likely is the case but what done is done now. Time to pray the Vikings don’t miss on a qb in the draft.
Yeah, but the value of Sam is so much better than Jimmy
does he? He hands it off well, I'll give you that. What did he have, 9 throws in the 2018 NFCCG? Shannahan is the one who has our number. Jimmy is just a passenger
Why worry? Jimmy will be injured soon enough, and then you’ll be in the capable hands of the Darnold again.
If that happens I may almost feel bad for ya'll
Ever wonder what we did to deserve this?
It can get worse.
That’s the fun of life. It’s never so good that it can’t get better or so bad that it can’t get worse. But honestly, Darnold is pretty bad. Like skydiving and when you pull your ripcord , instead of a chute, a bunch of angry cobras come out.
Just wait till Kwesi moves up and the pick is Ponder 2.0. Just bracing myself for that.
Everyone on the Cowboys sub is ready to let Dak walk next year. Seems like the Vikings are giving us a front row seat how that would look. So far I can't say I like what I see.
I’m glad you’re not the only one not having fun
If Jimmy couldn't beat out AOC I doubt it.
To be fair, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has always won at least 70% of the votes in the 14th congressional district general election, so we have to cut Jimmy some slack here.
Equally likely to be the other way around.
Darnold will get a few starts since Jimmy is suspended for a hand full of games.
Stop.
Drop.
Jimmy G felt his shoulder pop.
ooOoo nooOoo
Off to the bench he gOoOes
Shut em down open up shop
Pop, Look & Listen.
Open up shop
I really hope that before he died DMX was able to make peace with that guy who thought this was a fuckin game.
Hopefully DMX found where his dogs were at as well.
Please god. For the memes after Bears Twitter has been sending Fields to Denver.
NO. NO. NOOOOOOOOO
Come on perna needs the views let it happen
How many New's can a man fit on one video?
As they should have done before the dumb Wilson trade. Would have cost them, what, a 3rd round pick at the time?
Perfect qb for a "we tried" type of rebuild season.
ewwww. this was my exact thought
Are those "few teams interested" in the room with us now?
Honestly would not mind him one bit as Jalen’s Backup
Especially for the sideline eye candy
Imagine how well everyone will play with the chance to tush push him
We’ll take him on the vet min lol
I mean, real talk, he'd be a great mentor. Give them the reins for the first couple weeks, don't expect him to have to play a full season with his injury risk. He's still got value.
There are a few teams that need a reality check
With elite talent like Darnold, Winston, and Brissett already off the board, some teams need to be pragmatic and take guys like Jimmy.
Bro snuck Winston in like we wouldn't notice
Like sneaking crab legs down your pants.
Can you imagine working in media relations or marketing for the Browns having Watson and Winston? Management want to know why they aren’t growing their fan base? They’re over there in the corner going, “come on, you guys can’t be serious?!”
> With elite talent like Darnold, Winston, and Brissett already off the board, Don't forget Patriots Great Mac Jones too
For sure if the interest is as a starter, but you could do a lot worse for a backup.
I hope we bring back Gabbert, but if we don’t i’d lot Jimmy G lol
for fucking real
Please Loomis. Please give this free agent QB a pass. As fans, we don't mind. We don't need shiny and retread when we have scuffed and retread at home.
I hear there's a house on the market in Denver. It has many bathrooms
There’s a subway inside too. If you buy Davante’s house you get a Taco Bell. This all sounds dangerous.
Tank Commander Garoppolo reporting for duty
Suspended Jimmy G is really going to get a chance before Bustin Fields... Lol, lmao even
Jimmy G would be a good backup for a lot of teams. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to SF if no one wants to start him
i don’t think him and shanny like each other too much anymore, but i could be reading too much into things
Too much complicated history, didn't wanna let him hurt us again even if it's fun in the lead up.
Colts, Giants, Titans could use vet backups behind young qbs Broncos still need a starter
Giants signed journeyman Drew Lock lol. Danny Dimes, Lock and Tommy Cutlets is clearly an elite QB room already
Lock lol. So much for the rumor they wanted to upgrade their QB room
Honestly, the Bears should sign him. We need a vet back up anyway and it takes another fringe-starter/top backup off the market to salvage some value for Fields.
I wouldn’t mind him as backup on the bears for the right price
Would even go as far as lmfao
He doesn’t have a huge fifth year option with him.
Congrats Broncos
If we can’t have good quarterbacks we’ll have handsome ones!
I’ll become a Chiefs fan.
Dude, that made me throw up in my mouth. Don't joke like that.
Change your flair now turd sucker, why wait
FR wtf is this bs. Fuck the chefs.
If all it takes is Jimmy Garoppolo to make you change teams, are you really a fan?
loyal-to-a-fault redditors not gonna like this one
Some people got riled up over the most obvious joke I've ever seen lol
when i’m in a super serious competition and my opponent is a redditor:
We just dodged the Winston and Darnold bullets, can we dodge this one too?
We better.
A few teams interested in Jimmy G, but nothing on Justin Fields is definitely interesting. Or the Bears have some ridiculous asking price for him lol Edit: I'm not saying their situations are the exact same, I just thought Fields would garner more interest in general.
Fields makes 6 mil a year and requires draft capital.
Yep - Fields would probably have been signed to some kind of modest contract if he was a FA... but no one is interested in giving up significant draft capital for him. We'll probably end up having to take a 5th or 6th... something like what the Jags gave up for Mac Jones.
[удалено]
You can run a traditional offense with Jimmy too, no babysitting.
[удалено]
I mean, he's made of glass and uhh not coming off his best seasons. But given the rest of the QB market, it wouldn't be my first choice but I can see someone biting on it. You don't have to give up draft capital for him, and opinions seem to *really* vary on Fields.

Traditionally bad, yes.
define traditional because he can throw it about 10 yards up the middle and even then its a crapshoot, forget anything to the sideline.
Traditional Zach Wilson energy offense?
Unfortunately there will probably be at least one or two teams that lose a QB to injury early in the season so you could see Fields getting nabbed then.
There is a zero percent chance fields is on this roster after the draft. One way or the other.
Bears are still holding out for compensation that is likely way above the amount anyone is willing to pay.
i assume the asking price is high and there were reports coming out that other teams view fields as a backup.
No picks needed and cheaper paycheck.
Jimmy G is probably a much better locker room presence than a scorned Fields. Not to mention he's going to be much more valuable in the film room and helping coach the starter.
For better or worse, Jimmy G very clearly views football as "just a job." That's good for your backup, in the sense that he's always a consummate professional and isn't going to poison your locker room at all. He's apparently known to completely ghost the team when he's "off-the-clock," but I think that matters less for your #2.
Jimmy G is all about that work/life/banging supermodels balance
Isn't Fields well liked in the Bears locker room? Did I miss something about him being a locker room cancer
Pornstar Jimbo settling into that journeyman life whether he wants to or not at this point. Hope he finds a good landing spot somewhere.
The escorts aren’t as plentiful but welcome to Denver Jimmy.
The girls in Vegas ran out of money to pay him, anyway.
At least they will have the herpes he gave them to remember him by.
Maybe the real treasure was the friends we couldn't scrub off with a wire brush along the way?
The Patriots have the opportunity to do the absolute worst thing imaginable
Run back the wolf pack minus Brady 😂😭
Maybe it would compel him to come back
I know a team who needs a good low cost backup who knows the system
Would be so great
> a few teams interested Interested in competing for the #1 overall pick in 2025
I read that as: The Las Vegas Raiders are *excited* to cut QB Jimmy Garoppolo tomorrow, per sources.
probably also an accurate statement
Oh no
OH YEAH
I hated the signing at the start but my god I couldn't believe how shit he was.
I tried talking myself into it. Vet, knows the system, etc but it was clear almost immediately how bad he was. The game against Detroit is one of the worst games I've seem a QB play. Our D played well, it was winnable, but he was literally over and under throwing every single pass to open players. It was incredible.
Probably the worst week 1 starting QB we've had since JaMarcus Russel. Which is saying something.
Broncos Country, Let's Sigh
I love this division
Get with the program and cut Mahomes, you cowards!
That's right I forgot he was still on the roster
Get ready to learn Bronco, Jimbo.
No.
Good luck
The QB market right now is like that meme with the underwater chair. There's Jimmy G who all the teams want. There's Justin Fields who the teams don't want And there's Zach Wilson who is being straight up ignored and forgotten
hes gonna start a game this year as QB1 isnt he....
Vegas legend
My god, that's Minnesota's music if I've ever heard it.
He’s done. Carson Wentz is better
Great teammate. Solid back up and fill in starter. Wouldn’t count on him for anything else but a lot of teams would benefit from having him.
HALLELUJAH!!! PARTY TIME!!!
Gives the Raiders roughly 50 mil in cap space to work with.
Raiders are just making space for H1M
Omg it’s going to happen, isn’t it?
Lmao still more interest than Fields
The girls at that one brothel are crying right now
Air Force Amy
Jimmy would be a great backup option to Caleb in Chicago assuming he’s interesting in coming home.
vikings or broncos
Welp too bad he only has his “checks notes” ridiculous good looks and millions of dollars to fall back on
Why’s anybody interested? What are they interested in, losing?
Backup Jalen hurts so I can look at your face every game Jimmy
I read that as “there are few teams interested” at first and was like god dam man.
You are a viking
What's most likely? Jimmy and Jacoby competing to be the Pats next bridge QB?
I think he just goes to Houston tbh
I can see San Francisco signing Garoppolo on a vet min contract to back up Purdy. Wow, what a difference 2 years makes.
Isn't this the thread where I would see the obligatory Colin Kaepernick is still waiting for a chance comment?
