No way SF can re-sign Jimmy Garoppolo next season with Trey Lance in the wings.

A nice 3-4 year contract and some stability at the QB for the Bears? He will have better offers but he may want to wind down his career in his hometown.

Seahawks will definitely come calling for him, maybe also the Giants wanting to upgrade from Daniel Jones or the Bucs if Brady leaves.

Most good teams right now are solid at QB and Jimmy won't have a ton of chances to go to a contender.

Fields becomes the backup next season and the Bears draft a developmental QB behind Jimmy G.
Nah. Those "good" teams are few and far between and in many cases paid way too much money for their qbs. Let some other team over-spend for Garapolo. He's another over-rated ho hum QB.

Jimmy G has more talent around him in SF than he ever would as a Bears QB. He has one elite WR in Deebo, another really good one in Aiyuk, one of the best tight ends in the league in Kittle (when he's healthy which has been a problem) and the best LT in the league. He also has one of the best defenses in the league (though they're currently being decimated by injuries). Despite all these advantages, he was the anchor that sunk the 49ers in the playoffs. If he were even a league average QB, the 49ers have two championships.


If the goal is to win the Super Bowl, you aren't winning it with him as your QB. There's a reason the 49ers traded all those picks to get his successor.

If Fields is a bust, draft another QB and try again. But for the love of god, don't invest big money in a QB that won't get you any closer to winning a championship.
OP is a fucking idiot

you want to replace justin fields by bringing in the guy who backs up the guy who has looked worse than Fields thus far in their careers?
You do realize that Jimmy G has a career 98 QB rating, right?

His poor playoff record is the best reason to not sign him but he is a starting caliber free agent QB and those don't come around often.

He played for 2 good teams with running game and good Oline. What can Jimmy G do with this Bears Oline and WRs? Plus his ceiling is low. Would rather stick with fields or draft a qb with Oline and WRs in place.

Did you just wake up today and ask yourself, I need to post a really stupid idea?

Fair enough. I think he will be the best veteran available.

Regardless of Fields, what I would like to see the Bears start developing backup QBs and have some depth and flexibility at the position.

FYI in the last 30 years Bears have only drafted one QB in the middle rounds (2-4) and that was Kyle Orton.
I think it's probably best for the Bears to start learning how to develop starting QB. It'd be a lot easier to develop backup QBs then

NO I DIDNT ITS SO CRAZY NOW KNOWING HIS COACH HAD TO TELL EVERYBODY HE WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE HAD A SHOT TO SIGN THIS ALL WORLD QB THIS OFFSEASON AND INSTEAD HE SIGNED AS A BACK UP TO A GUY WHO WAS PLAYING AGAINST MY FORMER MIDDLE SCHOOL TWO YEARS AGO

Bring Foles home. He's a Super Bowl QB.

Why don't we get Tom Brady? Then maybe people will finally realize it takes more than just a QB to make an offense work.

Foles is now a 3rd string QB. I think Poles makes a run at him because he's beaten the GOAT

Jimmy G is trash. Hot trash.

People need to stop acting like he might be good because he grew up nextdoor. So did kmet, and they both suck.

Dudes been in the nfl for like a decade now, and the highlight of his career is being on TMZ for banging a 40 year old pornstar.

It'd never work anyways. He'd be pissed at Quan stealing his thunder

Relax man. Everyone knows that it takes at least 7 years for a TE to develop so Kmet could end up being like Travis Kelce.

What QB in history is going to succeed on this team? Jimmy G? I don’t think he is the future for anyone at this point. He may be an excellent back-up for while, though.

You have to accept the possibility that Fields ends up a bust. At this point you just have to. Nobody wants it to happen. But at the end of this season if we know that Fields is not the guy why not bring in a solid veteran who actually might want to come to Chicago?

How about we try sticking with one guy for more than a couple of years. Do you honestly believe that the revolving door is working lmao.

I hope I end up being wrong but I think Garropolo is a better QB than Fields will ever be.
