Almost makes you wonder if the Niners leaked it to keep the Jets or another team trading up to 2 from looking too hard into Lance. Seemed unnecessary, but who knows….

Stop feeding the trolls! It ruins threads… Reddick’s contract is a potential steal for us and PFF (like it or love it) agrees! https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-32-nfl-contract-rankings

I think I agree with this much more than the top 2 at their position.

So the league MVP isn’t elite. Got it. Super Bowl appearances are what makes them elite? So would Henry not be an elite RB since his team never made the Super Bowl?

Too many variables. So the elite QBs are Brady and Mahomes? This makes Russ and Rodgers not elite? One was just the MVP of the league…

I don’t think a player like Watson would be out of the picture because of Darnold. The off field issues would be much bigger of a concern than Darnold.

Ah yes Belichick will have Cam playing great this year, because he (the head coach) said he is looking good. Bill is never going to give away much info aside from generic answers as stated in this article. My question is if Cam is looking so good, why did they draft Mac in the 1st?

All about that bass!

He was the 126th pick. I assume he is there to take some carries and be a solid backup?

Greg Little ain’t even worried.

It moved….

Unless he wants that kind of money now, which would explain why there is no deal yet…

It might hurt his feelings a little bit…

Meh, I see players coming back after playing with other teams. I don’t think that would be the case if they were treated poorly. I think the staff expects a lot out of their players and push them to play better/harder. Some players can’t handle this, while others will flourish. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bostonherald.com/2021/04/18/patriots-among-league-leaders-in-players-returning-for-second-stint/amp/

You’re right. There were countless plays last year where DJ had his guy beat and Teddy didn’t even glance his way. If Darnold can get some chemistry going with DJ imagine what kind of numbers he can put up! One thing is certain, and that’s Darnold won’t be afraid to launch it down the field to give him a chance.

Not throw only 5 completions and 3 INTs against the Saints. PJ isn’t our answer at QB. I’m not sure he really belongs in the NFL…

I think it was the whole missing on Stafford, plus rumors of Watson, and then all the allegations at Watson made that no longer possible, and the Niners trading the farm to get pick 3 meaning 1-3 will certainly be QBs now with some of the 4 picks above us being available for a premium. It was like right after all of that we traded for him. I know they were “high” on him for a while yet they dragged their feet on a future 2nd for him. It just doesn’t add up on my book. I understand they might not be high on Fields, but I still think they panicked a little with Darnold. The good news is he is very young and still pretty raw with some athletic talent. Let’s hope Brady can show why he is regarded as a top young OC. Not to mention I see a lot of analysts liking the move. It will definitely make for an exciting year!

It just what I feel based on the circumstances. I don’t care if a writer/reporter was told differently by the Panther’s Front Office or if that reporter feels differently based on their knowledge. The whole Darnold signing gave me panic vibes and it can be spun however they want to spin it. Or maybe our staff is that confident (could be viewed as arrogant) to think they can steal a potential bust and make him look better than any QB in the draft. Verge said it based on her source, she also has been wrong just like everyone else. She all but guaranteed Mac Jones to the Niners. I’m over the Fields thing, but the point of this thread is to project the worst offseason moves. If Fields looks the part and Darnold continues to struggle that would 100% be the worst move of the offseason. Hopefully our staff can help Darnold look the part and the Fields pick won’t even matter. So far Darnold is saying/doing all the right things, but that was never his issue.

Part of me thinks our staff didn’t think Fields would be there so they made a deal for Darnold. Then on draft day they didn’t want to go QB after giving up picks for Darnold. I still would have, but it looks awkward at best to draft a QB after trading for a young one. I agree with you, passing on a young QB talent while gambling on a struggling young QB has the potential to be the worst offseason move by far…

What if he only missed a couple games (which Darnold has most years)? You need someone capable of managing a game to step in and try to steal a win or two. Look what Teddy did with the Saints a couple years ago.

I still have a feeling either Elf or Erving are going to be low key solid/good for us this year. If they do turn out to be offseason regrets, they don’t hamper the salary cap too much. All things considered it was a solid offseason with our cap looking good in the near future.

He must work out…

Wait, you mean CMC’s contract didn’t ruin our cap and prevent us from signing any linemen?? I need to verify this with my source….
