Keyvon Seymour as a Possibility to Return From IR?

I will say first off, I don't know if there has been talks in the building about it, or about his health with whatever was wrong with his shoulder, but as we talk and see threads about the return of Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams (which Admittedly won't happen due to his surgery), I got to thinking and looked back at our IR list and got to wondering about him.

Before you snap at the idea of bringing him in because he was terrible, I agree that he's not great, but hear me out.  Right now We struggle mightily at the bottom of the roster for dept at Corner.  Corn isn't getting a jersey on gamedays which I personally think is a travesty, but we need to have more than 3 corners active on Sundays and would not be upset having more than 4 on our active 53.  I also would ONLY want him as depth, as someone that can come in and give one of our corners a break because it seems they're getting winded by the 4th quarter having NO relief.

One other point, players designated to return have to wait 8 weeks before they return, and presuming Matt Kalil is one, we have 1 free one available.  Also presumably any injury we have right now would be rusty and coming back from injury for a playoff game from this point forward making it all but pointless to hold onto these designations going forward.

So, IF his injury allows, should we consider bringing him back to provide us some extra secondary depth for the stretch run?

I still can't believe we were geared to go into the season with him as a starter.

Agreed, I'm so glad Donte took that bull by the horns.  FWIW, this wouldn't be even a discussion if Cockrell hadn't gotten injured.  He looked pretty good in preseason.  Imagine a decent #2 in cockrell and Donte blanketing everything that moves in the slot.

Outside of Kalil and Darryl Williams (who pretty much everyone says is not coming back this year) there's not exactly a lot to write home about on IR right now.

Fans of Elijah Hood may flame me for that statement but I'd counter that 1) we don't know how he's doing in rehab and 2) if we're only going to use CJ Anderson sparingly, what would it benefit to bring up another runningback?

I wouldn't write home about Kalil. Or maybe I would, but mom wouldn't like what I had to say

We put Seymour on IR right before final 53 cuts. Therefore, he is not a candidate to come back. 

This is correct. I think there are only 4 players eligible to come off IR this season.  Kalil this week, Williams next week, Searcy the week after, and Norris sometime in December.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
