Jimmy G. Headed to the Raiders

[Mike FF Today 721]

This deal would still allow the Raiders to be a player for a quarterback in the upcoming draft...

Nice.

honestly, not a surprise.   They worked together in New England, so he knows enough of the offense that there is likely a comfort level to begin with.

The Raiders just saved themselves 66 guaranteed million dollars for the same level of quarterbacking. Well done…

similar level of QB play.  though with Jimmy G the health issue likely evens this out because if you have him, you probably need to spend more on a backup who is a lot more likely to actually have to play.

Not even close when you compare Carr, and Jimmy G when it pertains to staying healthy.

J Meyers is a good move for the Raiders

that is why they got Jimmy G at a discount.    if he didnt have the health issue I doubt theyd have picked him up at that price.

I'm guessing they are gambling that he has had some bad luck and will be fine in the foreseeable future.

and given the large # of injuries suffered by the whole team in San Fran, it is possible there is an issue either with the field or the training staff there.
