... not trading for Jimmy Garoppolo.

The general issue with Baker Mayfield was supposed to be bad attitude. Garoppolo comes off as something worse here, specifically a bad teammate.

It was already likely to be difficult for the 49ers to get anything for him. This story certainly doesn't help.

Didn't Browns release hit pieces on Baker when he was officially up for trade?

My sense is that negative articles about Mayfield were coming out before he was ever up for trade.

Putting out stuff like this when you're trying to get something back for a player would be kind of counterproductive.

I'm kind of struck by a contrast here...

The 49ers, planning to part ways with Jimmy Garoppolo, tell him not to bother showing up for training camp.

The Panthers, expecting to part ways with PJ Walker, give him the majority of snaps in their first preseason game.

Dear lord, you can’t see the difference? One guy has been a thorn in the coaching staff’s side and clearly not a team guy, the other is a clearly a team guy.

Corral isn’t close to ready, regardless of reps. Maybe, just maybe the staff is actually deciding who to be Baker’s backup. If they can pawn Sam off on someone and save even a few million, then PJ’s the backup. Unless you want to tank, I don’t see Corral as even backup ready.

Again, the difference is pretty stark.

You're not going to get a trade for PJ Walker, but someone noted that the Panthers radio guys said one of the reasons Walker was out there so much was to try and showcase him for another team.

It's not the Panthers responsibility to help PJ Walker find another job.

It is very much their responsibility to get Matt Corral ready to play in the NFL.

But again, which of those two things is Matt Rhule more focused on?

Well...it would be nice to get something for PJ.  Would that be a bad thing to hope for?

How could you know that? I didn't realize you had a Siege Perilous that lets you look into the other alternate universes where we cut PJ after we traded for Baker and Corral got the reps he needed so you know know he wouldn't be be close to ready even if he got them. Truly amazing.

To Hope for? No.

To expect? Unfortunately yes, especially at this time of year when everybody knows massive cuts are going to be coming shortly.

It's already understood by pretty much everyone that the Panthers aren't keeping Walker. There's no real incentive for anybody to even offer a ham sandwich. And again, as it is with Darnold, one preseason performance isn't going to erase past tape.

(definitely not when that preseason performance includes throwing a ball downfield when you had an open path to a first down two yards in front of you)

It was more about evaluating guys actually fighting for a roster spot.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
