  1. Congrats. Inductions can also move SUPER fast. My wife was induced with our first in the early AM. We anticipated kiddo to arrive by dinner time. I was holding my newborn baby daughter while watching for kickoff of a UNC football game that started at noon. Noon eastern time (10am for us in CO). She was in labor less than an hour.
  2. He's definitely had significant durability issues since becoming a full-time starting QB.
  3. The biggest thing the 49ers have going for them is that they still have Jimmy G. They won't be forced to play Lance before he's ready. If Jimmy G can stay healthy, they could end up flipping him for decent trade bait too.
  4. He's REALLY raw as a passer to draft him that highly, especially with a very costly trade up to boot. We'll see how it works out.
  5. I've seen some compare him to George Kittle coming out of college. Yeah, that'll work for me.
  6. I don't know what it was. I think it may have just been as simple as bad info. One analyst with a good rep got a bad tip and everyone else just ran with it. I mean, if you're the Niners you're not gonna go out of your way to correct it. I just don't see how anyone with knowledge of what Shanny likes in QBs ever bought the Jones talk. Shanny loves mobile QBs.
  7. He's basically the exact opposite of the typical college TE these days. Most are basically jumbo slot receivers who are going to have to learn to block and play inline. This guy is ready to go as a blocker and needs to improve his receiving skills. Between him and Arnold we should have a good balanced combo.
  8. It makes sense. We have very good weapons. The big question marks are at QB and OL. Which to be fair are really big question marks. LOL!
  9. This. I never understood it but it sure seemed like virtually everyone thought the Niners were taking Jones. Lance or Fields just seemed like the guys in this draft that would have Shanny drooling (outside of Lawrence who everyone knew was going #1 overall).
  10. Just not a need. We have young players who need the snaps to improve. If he was say a FS I might feel differently.
  11. It's possible. Tepper will eventually run out of patience waiting on them to find a QB. He knows this is a QB driven league.
  12. That's the thing about rumors, even from good sources. Not all of them are gonna pan out. It's still fun and something to talk about.
  13. Best of luck to him elsewhere. No hard feelings, it's just time for us to move on.
  14. I haven't seen that from Darnold. Don't mistake panic flailing with trying to make plays no matter what. I've seen a lot of panic flailing from Darnold.
  15. We went with what we thought was the "safe vet" option with Teddy. We saw where that got us. So now we're going the opposite direction with the "boom or bust vet". If this backfires then I think this staff is going to have to get over their seeming aversion to rookie QBs because I think they'll be down to their last swing at QB. Three strikes and you're out.
  16. When they gave Hill that ridiculous contract they kinda backed themselves into a corner on this one. They pretty much have to have him outright fail as the starting QB. They should go with Jameis and use Hill ad the same gimmick player he has been. So sure, roll with Hill. Sweet.
  17. I honestly forgot the Mac Jones stuff. Yeah, she was wildly off on that one. But she's always said that she only has one source and we're basically being fed what one non-Panthers team scout is telling her.
  18. "Everything" being 24 claimed incidents of sexual assault? I mean, you gotta admit that's one helluva monkey wrench to be thrown into a situation.
  19. Nah, it'll take 5-6 games. Gotta wait until opposing DCs have film of him in our system to study.
  20. I agree but the thing of it is that virtually every highly drafted QB is stepping into a dumpster fire. They're drafting that kid in hopes that he plays a huge role in helping them out of the dumpster. I mean, we were certainly dumpster fire status when we drafted Cam. The Browns were when they drafted Mayfield. The Bengals were last year when they drafted Burrow. The Cardinals were when they drafted Murray. And on and on.
