Football 49ers make Garoppolo highest paid NFL player - Page 8

**The Franchise** · 02-08-2018, 12:38 PM

Jimmy Garoppolo just got paid.

The San Francisco 49ers made the free-agent quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history on Thursday, signing Garoppolo to a five-year contract. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that the deal is worth $137.5 million, per sources, and is the biggest deal in NFL history on an average-per-year basis.

Garoppolo joined John Lynch's Niners in a surprising midseason trade from the New England Patriots and, within three weeks in the building, earned the starting role. In six games and five starts, Jimmy G tore up the league, completing 67.4 percent of his passes for 1,560 passing yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions. Garoppolo was slated to be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Around the NFL will have more on Garoppolo's pay day shortly.

Garapollo is 7-0 as a starter. He started 5 games for the 49ers and they kicked the living shit out of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He's a 67% passer, was highly rated coming out of college and sat behind the best QB of all time for nearly 4 full seasons.

The 49ers were 1-10 when he took over as the starter and finished 6-10.

Anyone that actually watched the 49ers with him at QB knows that he's a special QB.

His release is super quick. Like, Dan Marino quick.

Garoppolo took over a 1-10 team and won 5 straight.

@Chicago: 15-14
@Houston: 26-16
Tennessee: 25-23 (who beat the Chiefs)
Jacksonville: 44-33 (Jax in the AFC Championship Game)
@Rams: 34-13

But yeah, he's totally unproven.

Sure makes Alex look like a Plymouth 4 door but justifies the money DC dropped.

PMll with a rookie contract better get the Chiefs to "Player Up" as when his comes due... He will want the Hunt's to change their names to "****" and $40M a year....

Why isn't Lenny Dawson on the record on all this? What did he make adjusted for inflation?

I don’t exactly know what his ceiling is but I’d rather have Jimmy G than a guy like Cousins.

If the Chiefs had dumped Alex Smith in early 2017 and traded for Jimmy G., they'd have been in the Super Bowl this year.

The guy took an otherwise shitty and depleted 49ers team to Chicago and beat their very good defense, beat the Jags defense, beat the Titans defense and the Rams defense led by Wade Phillips.

The sky is the limit for him.

Agreed.

Kid looked good in limited action. I'd be excited if I were a 9er's fan.

No doubt. It was very impressive.

I'm guessing Beathard will be the projected long-term backup. Not a bad situation for the 49ers. Beathard wasn't great, but I've definitely seen bigger peanuts in turds.

cooper barrett · 02-08-2018, 08:52 PM

2022 Chiefs pay big for Jimmy G as PMll says **** you to the Hunt family

Holy shit, so about 20 million per TD so far

If Mahomes is not a top 5 QB but say 6-10 range in 3 years do you draft a replacement or pay high dollar to keep him?

Did you just mention the Chiefs drafting another QB in our lifetime? This one better work!

While there is no doubt Jimmy G projects to be good to great, let’s not get carried away here. The Jags and Rams had already locked up high seeds, and even if starters were playing, they were coasting. Wins against Chicago, Houston and Tennessee aren’t exactly ones that mark the makings of a contender. SF dropped a lot of money on a guy who’s body of work is small. They best surround him with some weapons on short order.

There was no way the Chiefs were sniffing a Super Bowl this year regardless of who the qb was. That defense was soft. As soon as Berry was done, so was this defense. The pass rush was anemic and musical chairs across from Peters plagued the team all year.

I don’t think you watched the 49ers versus the Jags or Titans.

The Jags imploded because Garappolo was carving them up. Their defense had several unsportsmanlike penalties because they couldn’t stop him.

The Titans went 1-3 in December.
