Darnold to the Broncos hopefully, so they won't trade up.

Yup and Jimmy G. to the Pats.  That way we get at least ONE QB, although it may be Mac Jones if this 49ers stuff is all smoke.  The only other club in the mix is Ron's team.  Fitz-magic is purely a bridge QB, but coming all the way up from #19 would cost them dearly and it's doubtful anyone ahead of us would be willing to go back that far.

So what do you make of Darnold's fate then?  Certainly they wouldn't sit Wilson for a year.  Do you think they wait to shop him until after the draft?  That would seem a bit counter-productive. I mean if they want Wilson, they have him, why wait to shop Darnold?

I think someone buys him for a 2nd-3rd. Could be us, who knows. He will probably be a mid draft trade.

From what I've read, mostly because @saX mangave us the heads-up, they are angling for Fields anyway. Steve Young believes they're OK with Wilson or Fields and that's why they moved to three.

I respect Sax man but my guy told me 

1. Wilson 
2. Jones 
3. Lance 

as far as the 49ers go.

I dont get that at all.  Lance is at best 2 years away and San Frans roster is built to win now like in 2021.  Trading all of that capital for a project like Lance doesnt make sense

You right. That's why they are drafting Mac Jones 😛

Why do people call him a project? He has all the tools now. Seems like a narrative simply tied to the small school that he played at. He might need a year. MIGHT.

The 49ers official statement after the big trade was Jimmy G. is still their QB this year.  If they do in fact retain him, Jimmy will strictly be a 1-year bridge QB before he's ultimately dealt.

Didn’t play many games, didn’t throw much when he did and it was against lesser competition. He just need reps to catch up to the speed of the game at the NFL level, but yeah I think he can play this year.

Come on man, I am on record that I love Lance and think he is a great fit for us because he can sit.  But he is coming from a d2 team on a limited snap count.  The speed alone will take him a year at least to figure out.  There is no way on Gods green earth that he starts anytime soon and is effective for whatever team drafts him.  The transition from D1 speed to the NFL happens to every player but the transition from d2 with a limited snap count is going to be insane.

Mainly because he hasn't played in a year, played one season before that and came from a High School that predominantly ran the ball.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
