Ditto on the backup QB. I believe they thought they found a guy that could win games in PJ but it just wasn't the case.  But there's not much across the league to be honest.

QBs that could be cut:

Easton Stick

Blaine Gabbert

My boy Nate Sudfeld

?

or maybe Matt Barkley (current FA)

Barkley is a Titan.

We carried 3 QBs last year.

We don't undervalue the QB position (backup or starter), but we just can't find any quality. 

Self inflicted gunshot wound. In hindsight Newton, Herbert, Fields would have been OK with the defense we have.

They so far have shown no smarts for QB at all.

I'm hoping Sam's that guy but their track record terrible and misguided.

also CB.  Bouye missing the next few weeks with a new team here then suspended the first few weeks of the season

2 weeks.  
We have Horn/Jackson/Pride/Stanley-Oliver/Taylor and others.  We can probably hold off on CB to maybe address other more pressing needs…*cough* LT *cough*
 

You’re right about the LT market.  Something crazy would have to shake loose to change it.  Still need one tho.

LB is tough.  Health and depth are real concerns.  The other issue is we’ve accumulated talent up front, on the edges, the corners, and the back side.  Can we reasonably expect to have budding stars at all 3 levels?

If we can get “steady” play out of the LBs, I think we’ll be looking really good.

I don't see the CB need.Bouye being suspended 2 weeks is something they already knew. As a veteran who's considered extremely knowledgeable and versatile it's not the end of the world and he has the extra time to heal up.

I could see a tackle that let's us move on from Little. Any usable tackle would do.

Definitely would like to see some churn in regards to depth for safety, QB2, back-up LBs, and every position on the OL except for Moton's.

Let's not forget that this is year 2 for the coaching staff. A complete roster overhaul isn't done in just a season, especially a season that was affected by a pandemic. With that considered, they've done an excellent job stocking the WRs, CBs, RBs, and DL. Hopefully we'll see that the TE group's overhaul was successful and we're left with just S, OL, and LB to finish shoring up. The fact that we have competent starters at LB and Jeremy f'n Chinn at safety helps tremendously with those areas. I don't think we'll see what some of the young OL guys are really capable of until later in the season or maybe even next. If at least one of Little or Daley can step up, that'd be a big help.

Hindsight is showing that moving on from Cam was the best move. He was still having physical issues last season, not including COVID.

Fields was available, but do you burn your first two picks on QB or do you burn just one? Considering that they had already spend a 2nd on Darnold due to uncertainty on where the chips would fall in the 1st, they made the best move there as well imo.

Would we rather have FIelds/Darnold with DJack/Bouye/Pride Jr or would we rather have Darnold/QB2 with Horn/DJack/Bouye? I'd personally take the latter, especially given the flexibility with Darnold's contract.

So, in the 2020 draft you would have traded our 2021 first round pick to draft Herbert and then used that same pick to draft Fields the next season??? Brilliant!!! Why didn't we just think of that? You're right. Our team has no idea how this stuff works.

We got Teddy B instead of playing Grier which may have gotten us a couple less "wins". 

We didn't have to full out tank for Herbert, he was in reach had we not signed TB for all that money.

That's why I bring up Herbert as a mistake. Marty went to Oregon during CV19 to go see Herbert and we didn't make moves to get him.

Somewhat agree but QB is most important and if Darnold lights it up in that scenario GREAT!

They made a huge bet on Sam with absolutely no safety net.

Nobody knows if it was the best move in August. We will have answers in the fall and hopefully that means Sam is balling out.

I'm sorry, but are we saying that THE PJ Walker aka Mr Undefeated is about as effective as The Flying Graysons' invisible safety net? 😮

Tho considering how that draft went overall, we'd have likely taken Miller where we took Grier, but I definitely would have taken Minshew over Scarlett in the 5th.

This is a timeline idiot.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.
