He helped them go to the Super Bowl that year, put up 107 yards in their 3 point win in the NFC Championship and then put up 120 yards in the Super bowl. That's the exact opposite of a bust.
He just got pushed out of favor in 2019 because Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods both suddenly developed into 1,100+ yd WRs and were both much cheaper than Cooks, so they traded him to the Texans (where he put up over 1,100 yards again).
Also you clearly missed a trade, because the last one I believe was OBJ when he was traded to the Browns for a 1st just back in 2019. (Which does seem close to a bust. Lol)

I don't think anyone is going to trade for Jimmy G at all, let alone for a 2nd rounder.
They would be taking on basically 2yr/$50m contract for a guy who has only played in more than 6 games in 1 of his 4 seasons in SF, or in his entire 7 year career for that matter. He's missed 33 games in his 4 years with the 49ers. Nobody sane will ever trust their QB plan to that. Even Sam Bradford thinks that's too fragile. Lol
He got traded for a 1st twice within 3 years from NO to NE and then NE to LA, that isn't even talking about falling out of favor in LA and moving him to Houston. It's a bust because each time the team got 2 years or less production out of the 1st round pick they gave away. If you trade a 1st and only get two years of production, or 1 in NE, that would be a bust of a pick no matter how good the production was.
I did forget about OBJ, but yea that falls in line with looking like a bust.
I think they get the 2nd they would like back as 25.5 for a starting QB in the NFL is the going rate for the most part and when healthy he has been a solid starter. Funny you mention Bradford, when he was traded for a 1st he had only played in 16 of a possible 48 games preceding the trade. Obviously, the Vikings were desperate but the fact remains he was VERY injury prone and people still wanted him.
