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.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I had everything saved on an old email address and my computer crashed and could not be revived.  I tried reviving it, then stumbled on one I was going to create several years ago...So I am using it instead.  My fault--did not keep the email and forgot password--

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.is what i am actually referring to in that particular post  all those #'s you are referring to are athletic #'s & Monroe Freeling had or has an impressive combination of size & raw athletiscm & it has nothing do with his size or athelticsm that is preventing him from being a day 1 starter in the NFL technique is where he struggled at the NFL combine & not only scouts but analysts alike also viewed him as more of a developmental type of player rather than a day 1 starter  go take a look at Will Campbell transition from the SEC to the NFL another first round LT that was drafted #4 overall by the New England Patriot,s.Will Campbell was a three year starter at  LSU & was thought to be one of if not the very best LT's in the SEC  & compare his SEC carrer to his rookie season in the NFL? just because you played good in the SEC at LT does nescarrily mean you are ready to start at LT in the NFL day 1 & or your rookie season  & one last thing i think you are jumping to conclusion & somehow assuming that i do not like Monroe Freeling ?which could not be further from the truth .what i do not like is the idea starting a player who is not ready ...just saying

      I'd 10x rather play the NFC North than NFC West.
