I feel like Jimmy G could be the ideal pick up for a team that has Tua. Who or what was Nick Foles when he won the Superbowl with the Eagles? He was a guy that some thought could be a really good starting QB. He had shown great potential. It turned out his best role in the league was being the backup who would come in and lead a team in the playoffs.
I don't love or hate Jimmy G, and I don't have any misconceptions about him taking over this team and becoming a top 3 or top 5 QB in the league. Coming in for an injured starter might be Jimmy G at his very best. Teams would not have really planned for him, etc.

Jimmy can’t take even pedestrian hits. Plus I think someone will pay him to be a starter.

This is probably all there will be to it. Most teams in the NFL are in dire need of an upgrade at QB. There is a short list of QBs who can be an upgrade, and Jimmy G is among them.
Daniel Jones and Jimmy G are going to be starters somewhere and get at least Marcus Mariota money (~$12m per). Probably more than double that in Jones' case. JG maybe goes to the team that takes Levis or Richardson high so they have a good bridge option for 1-2 years if the raw rookie is not ready. Danny Dimes will be some GMs undoing when he gets ~$30m, but he is still likely to get that on a deal that is easy to get out of.
I think Thompson is fine as a backup if the OL is better. The biggest difference between a guy like Thompson and Purdy is time to throw. I was amazed watching 49ers games seeing Purdy just sit back there for 4 seconds waiting for one of his 4 elite weapons to get open before even having to move around in the pocket. Then compare that to the game against buffalo where Thomspon was being pushed from the pocket almost right after the snap on several plays. They both had some rough "oh s***!" throws under pressure, but Thompson was just under pressure more often. The OL will make the bar for a backup QB to succeed a lot lower. Obviously you can't ever build a good enough line to not have your QB ever get pressure (see the niners against philly), but we have a lot of room to improve there.
If we are talking vet backups in the Bridgewater salary range, I'd go for Mike White or Taylor Heinicke. Both are vets who seem to be tough and can rally a team for a couple games even if they aren't starters in the league. Bonus points for Mike White coming from playing under another SF OC the last 2 season.

I’d LOVE to have Jimmy G but would be completely fine with Minshew
I actually agree with you I think he would be the perfect back up and if our QB room is Tua, Jimmy and Skylar I would feel good about that going in to the season. I don’t know why you’re getting roasted so bad

What are you going on about??
Jimmy G is the modern day Mr. Glass

You have to remember Jimmy G's injury history is based on playing a 16 (now 17) game schedule. That's taking a lot more snaps than would be required to fill in for a game or two. The more you're out there, the greater the chance for injury. That will be minimized in a diminished backup role. It's the law of averages. Lower snap total = Lower risk...
Is he out on bail?
He might’ve got even more polished in the joint!
Probably going to hurt his draft stock a bit, but the kids a winner.
You would think so by the law of averages but then there was Bridgewater.... lol.You have to remember Jimmy G's injury history is based on playing a 16 (now 17) game schedule.
