- Worth noting that the 49ers did this same sort of thing a few years back. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan agreed to not discuss their preferences until all the evaluation work was done. When that time came, both of them had settled on Trey Lance as their guy.

This is surprising, especially now that they seem to be shopping Trey in favor of Purdy.

I've seen a lot of speculation from both fans and media that these days, Assistant GM Adam Peters is the real GM rather than Lynch. Some have even suggested that the 49ers might dump Lynch to keep from losing Peters

Lynch doesn't really have any background in personnel evaluation. Granted he's got more real world football experience than Marty Hurney did, but still...

But it is an unintentional warning that this could potentially blow up in our faces.

There's a good chance of that happening no matter which guy they select.  There's a good chance that only 1 of the 4 qb's they are looking at will be worth what we gave up. Let's hope that's the one we pick. There's an equally good chance that the best qb in the draft may not be either of these 4 qb's.

I saw Lynch’s comments today at the owner’s meeting and he named Purdy the starter and basically said Trey needs to want it more but they’re happy to have him on their team right now.

I came away from those comments thinking they’re either trying to light a fire directly under his ass or they’re shopping him.

From Albert Breer...

49ers GM John Lynch revealing that Brock Purdy is positioned to be the team’s starter when he returns to health is hardly surprising, But it isn’t a great commentary on where San Francisco stands on Trey Lance, two years after moving three first-round picks to get the former North Dakota State star.

Coming out, Lance was seen as having tremendous intangibles. We’ll see if those show up in how he handles the challenge of making the quarterback decision harder on the Niners.

I believe Shanahans arrogance that he can mold any QB bit him in the arse. Be the same gamble if we took AR 

What's happening with Lance now is one of the reasons why I strongly dislike the idea of taking a guy based on his athleticism rather than his actual quarterback skills.

That would make him epic moron as well. Why trade up if you can mold any QB?

Had it been Rhule making the selection it would be a quarantined miss, 100% guaranteed. 

I wouldn't bet on us ever getting it but I would love to get a long, thorough look behind the scenes of Rhule's tenure.

Gotta believe there's some wild stories to be told 😆

Thanks for posting. I understand the whole bias thing being referenced here because I personally thought of Stroud as 1A and Young as 1B. However, I am starring to get the sense that they favor Young, as has many of the people in the media. So now I am starting to warm up to the idea of Young more and more.

I keep telling ppl that listening to Scott Fitterer when he talks abt Young will give u a pretty clear idea of who he wants. That goes all the way back to November…

he is pretty upfront with what he thinks.

I have no idea who Reich wants, but I’m 100% sure Fitterer wants Bryce. 
 

whether we actually draft Bryce, I don’t know, but I know that the GM wants him.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
