That's a pretty big if.  Jimmy G isn't good enough to get the 49ers over the hump, but they're looking at starting him again next season.  They're also in the middle of a window here with player contracts.  That's not a good sign.

If Lance becomes an elite QB after sitting for several years, then that's great for Lance and the 49ers.  It seems like a very steep price to pay to make a very low percentage bet.

You can become a millionaire very quickly by abusing leverage in the stock market.  That doesn't necessarily make it a good idea.

So then you agree, it doesn't matter if a QB has to sit for the first 2 years, all that matters is how good they ultimately end up being?

In a vacuum, yes I do agree.  You wanna burn any pick you already have on a QB that's 2 years on the bench from being elite?  Go for it.  That's obviously going to be worth it every time, even if the pick is 1st overall.  The cost of simply drafting a guy with a pick you already have is relatively cheap.  The rookie pay scale has really made it that way.

If you look at any other position, taking a guy in the 1st round that isn't ready to play is madness.  But I suppose QB today is probably the exception to that.  It just wasn't that long ago teams were letting more raw QB prospects fall to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds.  So maybe that's just my age showing.

I think for this 49ers team, it doesn't seem like it was a good decision.  The 49ers to me are similar to the Rams before getting Stafford.  They have a very strong roster, but their QB isn't good enough to win the big one.  But that roster isn't going to be around for very long.

To me, that's not a prescription to go sell the farm for a guy that's 2 years away.  Now they're not going to have those picks to potentially replace players they can't afford to keep over the next 2 years.

I'm just pointing out the crazy bet that the 49ers made on this guy.  There's plenty of guys that have shown elite potential as prospects and never fulfilled that in the NFL.  In hindsight, any winning bet was worth it.  I'm just not convinced they thought it would be 2 years when they drafted him.

It's been said by one source that he's "a year away from being a year away".

Similar comments have come from others 

I have heard the same. Still, his best learning will be on the field. Hand the ball off and make some quick throws. Even as a raw prospect that is a doable bar in year 2.

Imagine trading multiple future 1st round picks to take a guy 3rd overall and bench him for 2 years.  That's just lunacy.  You don't draft a guy in the top 5 if he's not ready to play for another 2 seasons.  If he was that raw, he should have been a 3rd or 4th round pick.

Actually,  it's a pretty good position to be in, and to be able to groom a young talent before throwing him to the wolves. 

I know it's uncommon these days, but that's how it use to be done.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
