Thompson and Benwikere met to study the playbook Thursday night.  So, that would suggest to me that he is a bit lost for the moment.  It also suggests that Benwikere is awesome.

Rookies always are at this time of year.

Good to hear he's seeking help, though.

Yes, I would not read anything into it. 

 

In June 2007, I was new to this lowly forum, and I started a thread based on the 2007 rookies I saw at OTAs.  Understand that it was one of the last days of OTAs, so you want to see who is clicking and who is not.   

 

I was very disappointed to report that Dwayne Jarrett was lost.  He was jogging in routes, looking around as if he was lost.  Steve Smith ripped him repeatedly.  Jarrett just stood there with his hands on his hips, as if Smitty wasn't there. 

 

Beason looked great.  I was watching him in a goal line drill right in front of me.  I was behind the defense.  He repeatedly beat the back to the hole.  For the first time, I realized how instinctive and technically sound you really have to be to play LB.  It would be hard enough if all you had to worry about was the run.  He was small, but I thought he would be great.

 

Back to Jarrett.  I hoped he would get better, but that never really happened.  If Shaq is having the same confusion at the end of OTAs, there might be reason for concern; however, I doubt Hurney put the players through the white board test like Gettlemen does.

Replace the Hebrew Hammer?  Say it ain't so :(

 

I don't think so, but you never know.  I am guessing the LBs will be as follows--

 

TDavis, Kuechly, Thompson

Glanton, Mayo, Klein

Blechen (my dark-horse candidate), Trusnik

 

I doubt they keep 8 LBs, but they could keep 7.  Blechen probably goes to PS, but if he does well, you could see Klein getting cut or traded.

 

I see a three-way competition for 2 positions (Blechen, Glanton, Klein), assuming Trusnik makes it, and I expect that he will.  Since we should no longer have Reddick and Jacobs as backups, you have to know we got stronger at LB this offseason.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
