@canefan I would prefer they wait until the draft or free agency to pick their QB too.
-
I'm more positive on this move - I remember Garoppolo getting rave reviews in the leadup to his draft and he got drafted in the same round as Derek Carr - the Raiders franchise QB.
This isn't some knee jerk move - Kyle Shanahan's two favourite QBs from the 2014 draft were Garoppolo and Derek Carr (and as Browns Offensive Coordinator he got stuck with Johnny Manziel).
Garoppolo isn't some round 7 pick like Cassell or headcase like Ryan Mallet.
From what I have read Patriots wanted to sign Garoppolo to sign a new contract but he wanted to play (and Brady shows no sign of retiring) so the Patriots wanted to get something for him before he walked in Free Agency.

@kiwimurph Brian Hoyer is to be released by the 49ers so you can guess which team he is going to sign with in the coming days...
-
I think Denver needs to look for a new QB as well...Trevor Siemian is a bit useless. KC Chiefs set to win MNF over the Broncos 29-19.
-
@sneakdefreak apart from Brock who else have they got?
-
@canefan Nothing. Their young QB Paxton Lynch looks like a bust so it will be back to the draft for them. Maybe they try and sign Kirk Cousins in the offseason? Or see if Alex Smith or Drew Brees want a last run at the Superbowl?
-
That's a decent trade for the 49ers. The Patriots wanted nothing less than a 1st rounder for him earlier in the season.
Garoppolo probably would've preferred to stay at the Pats so he could hit free agency this off season, as then he'd of been offered a massive contract from a QB needy team without having to prove he's worth it. Now he has to prove he's worth a big contract this season with not many weapons. His value could dip, but Shanahan will try his best to make him look like a star to justify the trade.
-
@dice Yeah, the 49ers have two high second round picks so it is worth the risk. If it doesn't work out just draft a QB or sign Kirk Cousins.
Some silly trades around the NFL - Carolina has sent their best WR to Buffalo, Miami sent their RB to Philadelphia.

Buffalo have been the most active with trades this season.
This one is really surprising. Ajayi was their whole offense last season and they let him go for a 4th.
The Eagles are going all in this year. They've been trading all their picks away and they're apparently trying to lure Calvin Johnson out of retirement.

Broncos are gonna rock with the Brock at QB from now on. They'll be looking for a veteran QB in the offseason (Cousins, Smith, Brees, anyone)

The AFC South should be a lock for the Jaguars but they have a shit QB.

Any number of teams are screaming out for a passable QB. Colin Kaepernick is on exile island going "WTF??!!!!!?"
-
San Francisco 0-9ers lose again. Poor CJ Beathard took an absolute beating - 49ers lost 5 more players in this game (they have 15 on injured reserve) and the 49ers receivers drop as many balls as they catch.
The good news for the 9ers is Beathard wasn't injured so Garoppolo didn't have to play yet - hopefully Beathard can survive at least one more game, then the 49ers have the bye and can possibly look at putting in Garoppolo after that.
-
Crazy to think that the LA Rams led by Jared Goff and the Philly Eagles led by Carson Wentz are now the favourites to battle for the NFC spot in the Superbowl.
