The Jimmy G love-fest is in full bloom. Say what you will about the hype and all the expectations suddenly thrust upon him with his play down the stretch last year, but NFL folks notice shit like this.
And isn’t this the best scenario for him? Excellent pedigree learning his craft behind the 2nd best QB in history? His NFL upbringing in a first-class organization? The trade to a team with a sharp young offensive mind, and a no-nonsense GM who are building the team from the ground up? A spotless 7-0 record as a starter with NE (2-0) and SF (5-0)?
The latest to jump on the bandwagon is Peter King, recently of SI and now writing for MSNBC. He recently said in as phone interview that Jimmy G the ‘most compelling story’ of the 2018 NFL season. He says:
“We’re all totally fascinated with Garoppolo. You know what my take on Garoppolo is? I’m going to write this at some point soon. I think it’s hard to imagine a player, a quarterback prospect —this is going to sound ridiculous— a quarterback prospect in NFL history who has the bedrock of quality upbringing as an NFL quarterback as Jimmy Garoppolo does. Because think about it. You’re drafted by the Patriots. You’re in a quarterback room with Tom Brady. You’re being coached every day by Josh McDaniels. You go sit in the team meetings and listen to Bill Belichick. And you get basically inculcated into the winning way of the NFL through Belichick. OK? You do that for three-and-a-half years, and then you go to a guy [Kyle Shanahan] who is as imaginative.”
Yeah, the league is littered with backups who were groomed for greatness and failed spectacularly (Matt Cassel, Elvis Grbac, Guy Benjjamin, etc etc etc) but then you have Aaron Rogers behind Brett Favre, and our own Steve Young behind Joe Cool.
No, I have no idea how this plays out, but I’m pretty excited to see how this season goes. Here’s the full article:

We might want to think of replacing mitchell with …l
Hankins
16 games 51 tackles 7.0 sacks
Peter King on Jimmy G
I guess we aren’t gonna sneak up on anyone this year.
Funny what comes along with good QB play in the realm of overall perceptions huh…?
Not hard to take 😀
Hah! I think that’s a good thing.
Here’s from the Warfield Thurs night.
Shit, Flickr cut off the last 1:30 . . .
, Still, that was great. Always loved the Warfield a very fun venue.
Yeah, I hadn’t been there in like 30 years . . . it was great to see the old place.
more fun shit.

Here’s an interesting free agent for us .

Tampa Bay only cut Robert Ayers because he only had two sacks lost season, they’re lost – and that’s not a typo as in “their loss,” it’s us actually saying the team has no idea what they’re doing. Ayers made plays on the defensive line without needing to hit the quarterback and was the team’s best defensive linemen not named Gerald McCoy, so what gives? Ayers was ranked by Pro Football Focus as the No. 10 defensive end and had a career-best 89.3 grade, numbers teams should certainly be paying attention to as they organize their rosters for training camp.
The heck with dez Bryant how about

Damn. I’m all over that. We’l have plenty of cap next year, so that would be incredible. 2 back formations and both a threat to catch a pass in the flat.
As far as Ayers goes, bering him in. We need as many people fighting for jobs as we can get.
Can you imagine this team with a RB like Bell !
We’re only expecting to have 75 mil in cap space next year
What is Jimmy G doing with his 137 mil? He’s dating a porn star! That’s my QB!
LOL
No wonder everybody wants to be an NFL quarterback

I’d say that’s money well spent !
That’s fine and all ,but 41 years old? MILF Performer of the Year? She’s been in the biz around 15 years.
Your mileage may vary, but that’s some SERIOUS mileage,
A girls gotta eat.
lol
That’s a lotta pork sausage she’s downing.
Yeah not the best PR move. First chunk in Mr. Cleans armour.
Chink*
Face it, deep down we’re all wishing we had his problems me thinks….?
Rich, handsome and available.
Booty calls ain’t no thing for Jimmy 😀
Just win between the numbers and, what goes on between the sheets, won’t bother me whatsoever.
His previous mentor landed a Supermodel. Comes with the territory huh?
Beats the Reuben Foster options like a rented mule.
i was just about to call a friend in california just now until i realised it was about 7 am there !
49 days till Opening Day!
Maybe if it stopped being a hundred and frelling five every day I might be able to get in the football spirit. 49 days means a mere 18 days till our exhibition opener. That means, of course, that the NFL Hall of Fame Game between the Ravens and the Bears is a mere 11 days away, a week from Thursday!
All of this means, for those of us not counting, that camp starts Wednesday!!! Here’s a pretty good preview:

Favorite group? I dunno if I can pick just one. Pink Floyd is certainly one of my elites. But here’s another, that if push came to shove, I might give the nod to:
Before we do Ed Sullivan, here’s the network dealing with them:
As far as Ed Sullivan, one of the band guys on a doc I saw:
“Here’s Middle America home watching the Ed Sullivan Show in their living room with Little Susie. Suddenly, here’s this guy in tight leather pants screaming, ‘SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE!!!’…
‘No No No No No No!!!!’ as they shush Little Susie out of the room. Next day, you know Little Susie goes out and buys every Doors record she can get her hands on!”

I can’t say goodnight to Jim Morrison without The Alabama Drinking Song. Morrison wanted something with a quite different beat, and oompah feel, from the traditional R&R song, so he modernized this old ditty. Hard to find something so un-R&Rish from a major band.
RIP Lizard King
The Door’s were definitely a one of a kind band. They brought out things in people that no other band could do. Perfect for their time
Amen to the Doors RT – I 2nd that sentiment.
I’d always lean towards the Blues/Rock genre on a bet.
Always room, and high praise, for Southern Rock, Stones and British Blues, Who, Cream, Mayall to name a few, as well as EC.
Love me some Clapton…
