he San Francisco 49ers signed Weinke on December 12, 2007 after injuries to quarterbacks Alex Smith and Trent Dilfer. He started the final game of the 2007 season in a 20-7 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Weinke was not brought back to the 49ers for the 2008 season...

and then he dropped off the face of the earth.

he was already not making much, i remember seeing him leave practice back in 05 or 06 when my high school football team went to the stadium for a tour because we traveled 4 hours to play against west charlotte. Anyways, he had like this 01' Jeep Cherokee, pretty low key stuff for a NFL player. So its not like he was important.

apparently he only got a 500k signing bonus and minimum salaries for his first three years, with playing time and winning incentives that could have gotten him to 20 mil, obviously that never happened, cudos to him for managing his money and not buying a Ferrari with his signing bonus

You could've searched for that yourself, just like he did. It's not like he performed some magic.

Heisman winners rarely do. I think it is usually due to them being drafted high and being forced into the lineup before they should be.

It definitely has something to do with how they are utilized and not really talent itself.

    • First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????
    • I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field. 
    • Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
