Akers seems like a dude to stay away from.  He was given such a prime opportunity in the Rams offense and couldn't pass Henderson.  And I can see McVay turning a corner with Stafford more than Shanahan with Jimmy.  That 2nd rounder is pick 43 right now which is nice.

Why in the world would we take a player that was benched.  They were figuring they could get the super talented CMC and dump their problem child in our laps.  I hated to see CMC go because I hate the 49ers.  That hatred goes all the way back to our time in the NFCW before the change in 2002. 

Most believe that we got the better end of the trade.  SF believes they are on the cusp of a Super Bowl and CMC might be their ticket.   I'm not so sure.  Jimmy G is hot or cold, nothing inbetween.  Shanihan may scheme plays for CMC but he'll be taking food off the table for others on that team.  

That might not go so well.

I will pull for 49er loses each we.  The more loses the more valuable our picks become.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
