BC looks like he belongs on the OL as a starter. If Horn can stay healthy and we get anything out of TMJ or Tremble that 21 class could be decent… Shi is starting to come along, Taylor got some good PT last year and is good depth. Even Hoskins is starting to look ok.

Interesting. BC looked better at LG than I thought he would. His quickness at footwork look pretty solid. It seems clear than Icky and BC need to be the starters on the left side. How did Bozeman look? I’m sure better than Elf…

Exactly! Also in order for it to work we need to practice it, but we will only practice it if it’s working.

It’s definitely some “players’ coach, building competitive culture” BS that may work in college but not the NFL.

Did Cade Mays play yesterday? If so how did he look? I think he might develop into a solid guard down the road.

I get wanting to advertise him for a trade but he won’t fetch more than a late round pick and maybe $1 or $2 million of his contract. The question is, is that worth taking away reps from your new starter (who fumbled on an exchange and had a misread with one of his WRs) and hindering your rookies development. Just cut PJ (or put him on the practice squad if we can) and let Sam be the backup. If someone wants to trade for him it won’t be hard to bump or PJ or sign a vet of his caliber.

Yeah, Baker looked good but the OL needs work. It’s starts with getting your best 5 guys on the field. Elf, Erving, and Jordan should just be depth at this point which is ok. They are decent backups, just not good starters. Icky should always be out there because he is just going to get better each play.

I feel like most teams aren’t super deep at pass rushers right? I mean it’s a premium position and teams can’t afford to have a solid pass rusher on their bench.

You do know that Sam is taller than Matt right? Maybe Matt actually needs some time to adjust like our staff and the analysts were saying. That’s why we picked up Baker AFTER we drafted him. Corral can still have a good future as we don’t have to rush him out this year. He is just going to get better as he learns. Corral has said himself Baker has helped him the most.

That’s fair. Let’s hope he listens to McAdoo about the QBs.

The Niners had to put in Lance before he was ready last year. Corral is a 3rd round pick project QB. He has all the physical tools but could take a minute to be ready mentally. I don’t think it’s any guarantee that Corral will be our future considering where we drafted him and what little we gave up for him. We have a solid starter in Baker that still has some potential to be better and a young project QB to sit behind him and learn. It’s as good of a situation we have had at the position since Cam was healthy IMO.

He will need to develop as a pass blocker as was advertised before the draft, but is an immediate mauler in run blocking and has a huge ceiling.

I like Sam and think he will make a good QB in the long term, but he was playing against 4th stringers vs a team that has no depth and didn’t light it up or anything. Looked like Ridder and Willis in their preseason debuts.

If we are down to our 3rd QB then yeah it’s going to get ugly, as it would with most teams…

It’s pretty well stated he wasn’t going to be ready this year. He has all year to figure it out (it’s why we traded for Baker). We just need to ditch Sam or PJ. It’s hard to manage/develop 4 QBs…

Logical and fair, but you are going to have to give me something else to whine about since you took this from me…

I think McAdoo is going to use him more.

If PJ is having significant playing time the only rational thought is they will trade Sam. Baker with PJ as the vet backup until Corral is ready. Stupid IMO, but that’s the only rational thought I can have on this…

2nd half better be Corral vs Howell. No other QBs allowed!

Even if he it, let him play. In theory he will get better and PJ will not…

Probably PJ which is completely pointless..

But it’s just preseason. If Rhule wants an open competition, show him why Sam is the bad choice. Let him sit back and make reads like Baker does so we can end this nonsense.
