going during camp? To be honest, it is pretty odd to have Jimmy at camp, working on the side (where all can see him) now that you have pretty much made it known he is not only not the starter but will not be on the team this season.
At the same time the 49ers have ZERO edge or leverage with trade options as teams know you can't keep him into the season and you (the 49ers) yourself have made it know you WON'T keep him into the season.
The 49ers are 100% banking on a teams QB either floundering badly or getting injured here in camp.

Either way if he is cut he will pass through waivers as nobody will want that salary and then he can pick his spot.
Watch for the LA Rams here. If Stafford's elbow is a concern I can't see why they wouldn't try and sign him (if he is cut).
Yes, recently.
The issue is that we have no cap room without extending players we very likely don’t want to extend, and that the team is nowhere near complete. Jimmy G would win us a few more games but he has had injury issues (including the shoulder right now) throughout his career and is basically an “above average” QB.
The niners are waiting for an injury to a playoff contender, that is their only option right now.
Or do we just try to go qb #1 in draft (even if we have to trade this yrs 2 and next yrs #1 to do it)?
Actually scratch that, they botched big time with Washington. They let that clown show get away from them.
If he went nuclear like Mayfield, they'd have no choice but to cut him. Right now he's a team player.
Their window to move him was during the QB carousel in FA and they've lost a ton of leverage since then. Injury didn't help either.
Couldnt disagree more. He is likely the top pick this past draft if he stayed in college. He has a big time arm.
Milton?
He's Monroe Fuches in HBO's Barry.
I don’t get this reference. Can you elaborate cause it’s definitely flown over my head. A super pretty boy that powns super models and has had pretty decent success in the NFL versus Milton, a nerdy pushover computer geek with no social life that gets pushed to the edge until he robs the place blind and burns it to the ground.
Where am I losing the relation?
You couldn't be more wrong. The big questions coming out were lack of experience and that he was sheltered with a great running game that racked up huge leads. Can he handle 2 minute drill shootout types like the BUF/KC playoff game? This is not like someone like Malik Willis who was a RB playing QB.
Or do we just try to go qb #1 in draft (even if we have to trade this yrs 2 and next yrs #1 to do it)?
I'd hate to have another bad season of Giants football but 2023 Draft QB1 please
Can we have a problem like this?
Correction. A RB playing QB with chronic arm fatigue.
Can we have a problem like this?
You want a QB who’s proven to choke in big games and has been the number 1 reason they don’t have a super bowl or 2 in the last 3 years?
Can we have a problem like this?
At $25m it is a big problem for your backup. One who we don’t even know can throw well after shoulder surgery, and that was on top of already having only an ok arm to begin with.
49ers have a problem because they don’t know what Lance will do and they do know what JG could do when healthy which is part of the reason why they drafted Lance. They very well can bust at QB with a roster that can otherwise contend.
