I don’t understand the hate. He’s a stud, a proven winner and can lead a team to the ship. Stop with the hate and welcome to the Ramily Jimmy G!

Agree!

Im happy we got JG hes proven for 1, he can win games. 2 he knows all the whiners plays he can help Sean in the film room see what they are trying to accomplish in different formations. 3 he beat us more times then any other q.b. i can think of. Rather have him with us then with the division rivals.

[@messiahmvp]

Im a Niners fan and I have to admit this is an amazing siging for LA. Stafford is injury prone so its nice that they have a guy capable of stepping up and fitting right into a familiar offense. Jimmy is injury prone too but I think if he stays healthy and ends up becoming the starter Jimmy could be the upper hand LA has in that SF/LAR rivalry

[@jeffreylytle1563]

I like Jimmy G, give him an O-Line that protects the qb, and he is top 10 in league.

Neighbors up my street are die hard 49er fans. So much that they named their cat "Jimmy G". Since then, Jimmy the QB has played for the Raiders and now the Rams. I wonder if they've renamed their cat. Lol

Im glad Jimmy’s not done yet! Im very curious to see him with the rams😮

[@debraelaine5255]

JimmyG; you went thru so much adversity. You never let the adversity thru all the injuries and diffrent teams deter your commitment, discipline and passion for the deep love you truly have for the game. You are an inspiration to the way a QB should play the game, you are true to yourself and nobody else when you achieve thru adversity and that's why it is a pleasure watching you play. You never belonged in LV (sincity) that was a bad place with that vuture Brady buzzing around. I was hoping for you to join the NYJ: not Aaron Rodgers.

I like this move. Jimmy G is a pocket passer like Matt and the offence won't have to change much if Matt goes down. Although I liked Wentz too Jimmy's a better passer than Wentz.

[@travesotom6890]

Rams fans get over it, I use to make fun of Jimmy all time when he was with the Whiners but he’s a Ram now, let it go, he’s better than Wolford or Rypien, he’s a solid backup, Wentz probably told the Rams he wanted to wait if a starting job opens up 😂😆
