This article on FP really hits the point home; the 49ers wasted a lot of money with Jimmy G, whom won them some games last season and looked mediocre this year before he got injured. They will be faced with a big decision next year for their next QB. I think Mullens is their guy for the future and not Jimmy G. Memories of previous Brady backups come to mind with this one.

Dumb question time: Had Mahomes not played in the season finale last season, would he be considered a rookie this year? In otherwords, could a guy sit behind a starter for a year, not take a snap, then start the next season and be considered a rookie?

Probably yes.

Ben Simmons won ROTY last year in the NBA, despite being drafted in 2016 and sitting his rookie season with an injury.

whom won.

who won

Quick reference: If you'd use 'he' or 'she', use 'who'. If you'd use 'him' or 'her', use 'whom'.

Nope. It's not NBA rules (which I think are beyond silly in this instance). A rookie is a rookie.

I was at the game this past Sunday (Seahawks @ 49'ers). It was light to moderate rain off & on during the game. Mullens played like a seasoned veteran with checkdowns, audibles, reads and making the throws. Niners won it in OT.

From what I saw, he was money!

Agreed. I think Joel Embiid won ROTY in his 4th year

Probably yes.

Absolutely not in the NFL. The fortywhiners tried this with a rb years ago who was hurt in TC. The NFL said he was paid last season; he’s no longer a rookie.
That might fly in the nba but not nfl.

They will trade Mullens and get whatever they can for him.

Jimmy has too much guaranteed money.

What?

No.

Otherwise Aaron Brooks would have been a "rookie" in 2000 for us.

Mullin is fool's gold on a very bad team.

Make it happen Loomis

 

[Saint Kamara]

Correct

What?

No.

Correct, no way the NFL would have ever considered Mahomes a rookie this year.

I found it silly that Simmons won that award. The dude in Denver deserved it.

 

[SAINTSSUPERBOWLLIII]

Mullens is really good.

He's not Jimmy G good, but he's a QB in this league for sure

There’s a lot to like about Mullen’s. Potentially Brees’s replacement?
