Jimmy G deserves more credit for only throwing one atrocious red zone pick against the Packers.

So what about Mr. Rodgers? He spoke with media after yesterday's loss and said he doesn't want to be part of a Packers rebuild, if that's the direction in which the team chooses to move. https://www.nfl.com/news/aaron-rodgers-on-future-in-green-bay-i-don-t-want-to-be-part-of-a-rebuild-if-i-m He's not a free agent yet, though. There are some speculating that Aaron wants to become Ben Roethlisberger's successor in Pittsburgh, but it would take a trade to make that happen. The Steelers have plenty of cap space but also some big decisions to make about resigning veteran players. The Packers are hosed at QB without Rodgers, however. Jordan Love hasn't shown signs of being "that guy." They'll either cling to Rodgers for one more year or maybe land a promising QB through a trade.

Even under contract Rodgers holds all the cards over the Packers organization.

I'm honestly kind of hoping the Colts sign Foles just to see if Carson's head explodes

His final line doesn't look great, but the 49ers receivers also had stone hands early in the game and kept dropping passes. Kittle in particular was wide open and had room to run down the field for a while IIRC The INT was uh.. awful. Just throw it away handsome one

Jimmy G has a relatively weak arm but he is above average in what he does well, he's good before the play, he's accurate and has good touch and placement on the short and intermediate routes and Shanahan for the criticism he gets has put together good crossing and flooding schemes that take advantage of those strengths. The issues in his game start to emerge when teams take away the flooding cross routes as he simply doesn't have the arm to throw a line drive on a 15 out like the plus arm guys. He's safe when asked go throw a fade on a stick route to Kittle but he does throw INTs when he tries for a line drive type throw and the DBs have an opportunity to break on the ball. Its why I always joke that Jimmy is good for at least one INT chance a quarter. There will be an important drive where the running game gets stopped or a screen gets stopped and it ends up 3rd and long and the crossing routes can be taken up with a cover 2 scheme and the 49ers have to throw a more traditional more vertical pass. Its also why they have an offensive cast of dynamic after the catch guys and drafted Lance who they hope can grow into that touch type passer but also has the arm to laser those concepts when the high percentage stuff is taken away. I think Jimmy would actually be a fit in Carolina not with the scheme and coaches but with the personnel. Him simply giving cmc and Moore and Anderson touch passes in space would be extremely effective if Rhule and McAdoo have those types of plays in their playbook. I know when Eli was in the twilight of his career McAdoo was able to dial up more quick drops and shorter high percentage stuff but Eli always had a rifle to get in tight windows Jimmy simply doesn't have. I think anyone from that Shanahan or McVay world would be a solid fit for Jimmy to go to. I don't see a lot of guys out there atm though I also think a genius like they have in New Orleans could be pretty effective with him too.

It's wilder than that. Not including playoffs, because the 9ers aren't in the playoffs without Garoppolo, Kyle Shanahan is 8-28 without Jimmy G, and 31 and 14 with him, with the Super Bowl appearance, and at least another NFC Championship appearance. That is some Peyton Manning with the Colts level of disparity.

I don't know if it is that clean looking at win/loss record with or without Jimmy G, every year he has been injured so has everyone else on the team. Jimmy G is like QB#20 in the league, a bunch are better, but also a bunch are worse. His flaw is just terrible picks in the red zone so it feels a lot more painful. My prediction is Jimmy G to Denver for a 2nd + change.

How about Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr.? https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1485244771446706178 Think he'll finally call it a career? If so, who steps up? Can Kyle Trask become the starter by next season?

CocoaNuts posted:How about Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr.? I think he could but I think he'll have one more shot. If Tom retires the Buccs as a whole are probably due a rebuild - I would assume Leftwich would take a gig elsewhere, Arians probably retires again, Gronk would be gone - a few other guys would probably not re-sign (a fair few are on cheap one year deals to run it back). Buccs would be OK if things went well over the next few years and they're in a weak division but if Brady retires the organisation would be set back two to three years imo.

Diva Cupcake posted:Awesome QBs don’t just fall into your lap. If Brady retires they join the mass of teams who are already dead in the water without one. Could be 2-3 years. Could be 20-30. Let's be honest here, it's the Bucs, it's 20-30. Also, Arians already said he's not retiring.

I don't really see why the Packers would be rebuilding. They are still a great team and it's not like they completely mortgaged the future for this run. They would have just as good a chance to win it next year as they did this year. The definitely don't have the greatest cap situation, that's true, but a lot of that can be smoked and mirrored away. IMO this is mainly just Rodgers feeling sorry for himself CocoaNuts posted:https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1485244771446706178 No I do not

Brady's coming back but not for the Bucs. Steelers have their choice of Wilson, Rodgers, and Brady - they all (rightfully) like Tomlin and it's probably the team closest to "a qb away from a ring". I'm not sure how many coaches wanna deal with Rodgers extra drama, and Wilson carries a nice chunk of Ciara baggage (they spend a lotta time on their start up companies). The real exciting QB is where does the NVP end up, and how much of Daboll/Allen he's picked up. Potential that Daboll/NVP are a package deal - especially at the Giants?

All three of those guys are under contract and not even on the market. The Steelers probably draft one of the guys who need some time to sit and sign like... Nick Foles for a year as a bridge.

Maybe Brady wants to play behind a garbage line to see if he can do it, like when you try to see how far you can hit a golf ball with a putter

Right, you think Brady would ever just stop playing without advance warning? He'd miss a chance to hock some nonsense via The Final Season marketing?

This is the same mf who has documentaries on about him while real nfl games are going on. He's doing SiriusXM shows and plugging Ring Alarm systems and crypto practically right out of the shower after the game.

I think Brady really wanted to try for back-to-back Superbowls one more time and losing that really leaves him with coming back for one more season to do something he's done 7 times now

If he does retire I doubt his family will be the reason, anyways.
