Marcus Lattimore is retiring

Hate it for the kid.  McGahee coming back from one of the worst injuries I've ever seen game me hope for the kid, but no two people are the same and no two injuries are the same.  The 49ers rolled the dice and lost, but I'm glad Lattimore got to cash some NFL checks and receive top notch medical care during his rehab process.

Two things:

1) There is also a bit of a rumor that he just wanted out of the organization.  He'd not be the only RB unsatisfied there.  Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde are both above him and would cut his time substantially.

 

2)  Kind of glad about this.  There was so much hype about how great that team was at RB.  Gore is great, Hyde has underachieved, this guy never was, and so on and so forth.  I can't stand the Harbaugh 9'ers.

I'm hoping that he just wants out of the organization because all of the videos I have seen show he had been rehabbing, running, lifting, etc. since the year he was drafted without problems...

 

If we can shed DLo this offseason, I'd love for Lattimore to maneuver his way out of there and come on back to the Carolinas, lol.

49ers would have to relinquish the rights to him.

Could conceivably happen, but I wouldn't be too optimistic.

I hate injuries. One of my teammates from 9th to 11th grade was being recruited by several SEC schools all ACC schools. he was projected to be Marylands day one starter at LT (Maryland recruited him from the jump and he liked that) tore every ligament in his left knee. Came back Tore it again. Career over. Scholarship Out.

This was 2002, he was recruited to play and would have been in the backfield with Clarrett.  This guy was graded better then Clarrett, as well.  He was a beast to tackle, he ran like a freaking tank and you had no choice but to go low or get laid out.

2) Drushaun Humphrey, RB/LB, Toledo Rogers, 6-3, 240, 4.43.  The term "freak" is often used to describe him.  Put on an absolute show at the Ohio State camp last summer.  Can play a variety of positions and probably has more athletic ability than Andy Katzenmoyer if that's possible.  Wants to play TB in college.  Already committed to Ohio State.  5/3 update: As most people know by now, Humphrey died of a heart attack on 4/30 after a pickup game of basketball.  My heart goes out to those close to "Big Dru."

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
