If Keith Lewis Stays Who Goes?

If K. Lewis stays, who goes?

Recently signed S Keith Lewis was a special team standout with the 49ers. If he can impress enough to help our ailing special teams and keep his job after Wesley returns then who goes? Who can we release that could be expendable without serious depth concerns?

If Lewis plays well, we may keep him because remember...we do not have another legit safety behind Harris.

We have too many corners and frankly, Martin is a project. I think we could put him on the practice squad. I seriously doubt he'll get picked up. Either that or Martin could get a hangnail and get IRed.

i'm not sure who should be released but, imo, wesley is now a must for special teams. you know that returners are going to be worried about him getting there. gunners are supposed to strike fear in the heart of the returner and make them not want to touch that ball. who better than someone who was just suspended for knocking another returner out? wesley was less than a half second form having a clean hit. if lewis can do a good job as a gunner then no way should we let him go. keep him and wesley and cut some underachiever on the roster. as poorly as we have covered punts we need to have gunners who can at least make the returner hesitate.

Only person I see him conceivably threatening is Quinton Teal, but I too think he's a temp.
this would be the right call...giving teal the boot in favor of lewis. teal is pretty useless. he's not a good special teamer and he's not a good safety at all. if you can't do one or the other well then you shouldn't be on the team.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
