The Niners offered a first round pick for Darnold last season?

Only if you've got small mind.

So what you're implying is if their grammar is poor, according to your culture, they are untrustworthy.

What I’m saying is if your doctor, lawyer, news source is able to speak or write with eloquence, most would be willing to trust them as a resource than using “ain’t” in a sentence let alone using it incorrectly. But the larger implication I was trying to get across is that just because someone mentions the pitfall in someone’s grammar doesn’t mean they are culturally biased or racist as some of you have implied. Assuming the African American population, or any other ethnicity for that matter, speak a certain way based on their skin color sounds more like the real cultural bias  to me.

As strange as it sounds Jimmy G is probably the best option including the draft

Feels like he can be had for a decent return.

I'd wait a bit.  9ers can't keep him.    We just need to find a place for Darnold.  Jimmy is a huge upgrade over Sam by most measures. 

Yes, JimmyG looks pretty bad during the playoffs , which is when most of us watch him (74.1 PR), but he is MUCH better during the regular season (98.9 PR).    For those wanting the playoffs this year, JimmyG is our best shot.  I'm not sure any of these rookies can do it their first year.

no, it ain't wrong, it's an accepted dialect. conversations about dialect aren't about whether they're grammatically incorrect but about whether they are appropriate in a given social context.

and since it was a fuging casual twitter post and not a supreme court hearing a one-liner in an extremely common english dialect is perfectly appropriate.

it's pretty obvious you're just bigoted against black people who talk that way.

I don't know why, but even with his struggles, I don't think he's great, but I don't think he's as bad as we are letting on him. That man didn't have a pot to piss in, let alone a door to throw it out of in New York. There was no talent around him....unless you gonna give him Robby Anderson. 

He started off last season great for us. I started to see it when we played the Texans and I knew it was going downhill. The Texans dline started creating pressure and getting to him. I knew the oline was the weakest link and I believe after that Texans game, everyone else thought so too. It wasn't until he got rattled that he began to go back to the Jets Darnold we were use to seeing. It also appeared that he spent a little time playing hurt...and we seen how that worked for Baker Mayfield.

If all we do is pick up Cam, and continue to roll with a new fortified oline, I think we would be leaps and bounds better than the team we fielded last year. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I’m not playing your liberal agenda. Don’t have to prove my lack of bigotry, racism, social bias to anyone,etcv especially not you. Your posting speaks for itself.

Fact of the matter is if it was a deep woods, Caucasian hick posting some broken English on their Twitter in regards to something happening with this team you’d jump all over it in the comment section. To which I’d probably chime in and mock them with you because my opinions run much deeper than the superficial standard a lot of you worship and could give AF about a persons skin color.
 

This is why I speak up when snowflakes like you want to make a situation more than what it is.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
