Dri Archer anybody?

I really liked this kid when he came out of Kent State. Seems like a guy we could maybe revive, and turn into a decent option. Ran a 4.26 40 yard dash and at the very least could potentially give us a fast receiving threat out of the backfield.

I like how when anyone makes a thread like this, everyone flocks in to trash the guy seemingly forgetting that our WR corps consists of no one who would be higher than #4 on the depth chart on most other NFL teams.  No one is suggesting signing a guy like this to big guaranteed money, but it doesn't cost anything more than the cost of a plane ticket and a hotel room to bring a guy in for a workout and given the state or our WR corps, why not?  You say this guy sucks, well so does virtually everyone currently suiting up at WR for us.  If he sucks slightly less than the worst WR on our roster then we have a chance to upgrade our roster.

How about training camp next summer? Can he return punts and kickoffs?

Nope. That's why he was cut. He's fast as hell but all he did was run sideways and out of bounds really fast. He doesn't play WR and he's too small to play RB. He might be useful for a few gadget plays here and there but since he adds no value as a returner or special teamer he would be a wasted spot on the active roster to use once or twice a game.

    • I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.     
    • This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
