The 49ers go 2-14 the year before and weren't expected to do anything, but he becomes the starter halfway through another terrible season and goes on a little winning streak and they finish 6-10 and suddenly there is life in the organization and the fans in San Francisco are interested again. Personally, I think a guy who can revive the franchise like that is worth all the money you can pay him. The guy just screams Hall of Fame to me every time I watch him play.

I agree. He looks really really good when you watch him play, plus the people around the Patriots always thought he was a star in waiting. I know it's early but I'd bet pretty big on Jimmy G.

I was talking about Joe Montana in 1980. I think Jimmy G is grossly overpaid.
