The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
So Jimmy Garrapolo to the 9ers. You just know he's going to follow the long line of Brady-backups who looked good in limited action in the Pats' system and then go full pumpkin once they have to actually lead a team.

Like Drew Bledsoe?
Bledsoe doesn't count since he was the starter before Brady and a damn good one at that. Morseo looking at Cassel, Hoyer, Mallett, Brissett.

Brissett has not been bad with Indy so far. I don't think he's a world beater or anything but he's better than those other guys except maybe Cassel who was serviceable for a few years.
I like the trade personally. We already have 2 2nd round picks and he is a free agent after this year so it gives us the rest of this season to evaluate him and see if he's worth any sort of payday. He's younger than Cousins too and will likely be a lot cheaper, so it will be easier to build a team around him as well. I also think the Niners won't be competitive for a few years anyway when we start getting towards the back end of Cousins' prime.
My only fear is that he's going to get eaten alive behind the Niners' porous offensive line and people will freak out when he doesn't set the world on fire right out of the gates.

Granted I don't watch a lot of football, but I don't understand how this move makes sense for the 49ers. Garrapolo won't be able to save their season, they have so many other needs. I'd probably prefer to have that pick back and hope they can draft and develop.
I was making a joke because as you said Bledsoe was the starter first, but I failed.

He's only 25, they're basically using a 2nd round pick to draft and develop him. It's not a "win now" move in the slightest, it is a lost season and everyone knows it. He will probably start after the bye week in a few weeks and they will use the rest of the season to evaluate what they have. The team is reportedly not high on any of the QBs coming out in this years draft and they're going to have to do something about the position sooner rather than later and build the team around him.

Seriously. He's so f***ing funny! If he ever makes a Legacy of Failure for us, I would watch it because it's UT.

Where's he gonna play? Chapman has 3rd. Olson has 1st. Word is they're looking for a lf to move Khris Davis to dh. Add the fact Healy doesn't walk and was garbage the entire 2nd half.
They got a very solid bullpen arm and a prospect for a guy who wasn't in their plans. It was a good deal.

Are the Giants still in on Stanton?
Last I heard, the front office are in talks with his agent.

All the evidence suggests that they are still in but this meeting is to find out if he'd waive his trade clause to go to San Francisco. If Stanton is willing to do so, the Giants will probably be the lead candidate to acquire him so long as they're willing to eat practically all of the contract. Teams like St. Louis and Los Angeles won't so far as I can tell but it doesn't mean anything if Stanton refuses to go there which would be understandable given what AT&T does to the value of hitters and their ability to make money. lol

I've seen that floated around which may get it done for them and would be a great deal if they can swing it but it comes down to Stanton after it's all said and done.

The Marlins are being the Marlins. That’s a horrible return should that happen.
And Stanford just lost.
