- 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.

    • The Question
      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
