Mr. Scot

Basically what Shanahan's WCO has always been...

Two touchdown lead will do that... Yeah. He's not the next Tom Brady.

That is the exact definition of "reaching for need". Teams screw themselves massively doing that.

Gameraaaaaaaa

In this hypothetical scenario, were talking about a team with a very quarterback friendly scheme who drafted a guy #3 overall (and traded significant resources to do so) giving up on that guy in his third season (even when one was injury shortened) in favor of sticking with 1) a guy taken last in the draft and 2) Jimmy Garoppolo. If that doesn't scream "buyer beware", I'm not sure what would.

How many games did it take Purdy to look good in Shanahan's offense?

If you wanna give up two picks for a guy who's only had four starts (and hasn't looked like anything special in them) more power to ya. Me? No thanks.

Nah If the shoe fits...

You're still trading for his college potential at this point because his pro performance has been... disappointing (and that's being kind). Especially true when a seventh round afterthought is doing in his rookie season what Lance hasn't been able to do being a focal point for two years. So no, I wouldn't.

He's picked up the offense quickly, as opposed to the guy they made a huge trade to draft third overall

Do not want

More than one source has confirmed it was Rhule who wanted Mayfield.

@rayzor Now, if you want a true example of someone "dwelling on it"...

Very possible

I think Kaye has it right here... Nobody's calling Don Martindale either.

Sounds like you've got a lot of company on that train.

Being in a Shanahan offense helps... probably a lot.

I hadn't posted in this since yesterday. Someone else bumped it because McCaffrey's going off right now. "Dwelling on it" for me would be continuously dredging it up as time goes on.

No plans to keep dwelling on it because I agreed with the trade (still do). It is, however, a shining example of how things tend to go in Pantherland

The 49ers weren't willing to trade us their coaching staff.

I would take Josh McCown as a quarterback coach in a heartbeat. Head coach though? He's no more ready for that than Jeff Saturday.

The Colts didn't exactly "get away with" what they pulled.

They were, but I think they may have realized they're not gonna be able to get away with that.

Well, at least you're not married to someone like that
