I've seen lower suggestions than that.

Not sure how it ultimately shakes out but yeah, it's looking like a pretty big whiff.

If they cant get a 2nd for him, I would just keep him and play him until Purdy is healthy. Maybe his stock can go up some....

Regarding Purdy...

That possibility makes some analysts think the 49ers are more likely to hang on to Lance.

If they were to part ways with him with Purdy still injured and Sam Darnold being the only other option though, yikes 😬

Yeah....with that news, no way they let Lance go for cheap.

Just saw an interview with Jalen Carter about the terrible situation that he was at least involved with where 2 people lost their lives. He said teams will probably take that against him.  He said absolutely nothing about the victims or anything about the situation.  He had Drew Rosenhaus sitting right beside him.  I just wouldn’t touch this dude in this draft.  He is out of touch with reality

The talk was Atlanta at #8, but I imagine there was more press than here about this situation there.

That's your reason. Why would he talk about the accident?

 

He's trying to get drafted. This is why you hire an agent. They keep it about football.

 

 

My point was he needed to be that closely monitored by his agent even in an interview.  That doesn’t feel right to me

I agree it sucks he didn't mention it, but that's not why they are interviewing him so I can see both sides.

He said that he wanted to tell his side.  However, if you are interviewing a player involved in this horrible event sitting on his couch before the draft, the issue is character.  His agent on the couch was not there for cosmetics--he knows he has a delicate situation and did not want his client to be compromised by a reporter--but the risk of his character being damaged was real and the comment Shocker makes is a fair one.  However, I can say that any comment he makes could probably be used against him--so any good lawyer would advise him to not discuss the victims.  You have to imagine the tape being played in court--"I feel so badly for the people who died." The jury could equate that with guilt or responsibility--I have not been keeping up with the details, so I am just speculating.

Drew Rosenhause has been in a lot of interviews with his clients. I think you're reading too much into it. He's a kid and was probably scared of the spotlight.

 

That is fair…I understand the legal implications.  Why are we here though?  He has had serious questions about character outside of this incident.  I hope he succeeds but I wouldn’t pick him, too many red flags

He's still rated as a top 3 prospect in the draft. Some team will take him my bet is Philly.

 

He cost himself a few extra mil though he was going to be the 1st defensive player off the board before the accident.

 

Brandon Miller from Alabama had a similar situation. I don't remember him doing a public interview. These are kids at the end of the day. At that age I would be scared to talk in public as well.

You could be right but my tolerance for spending a top 10 pick on a guy with these red flags is much lower than yours.  The guy is a super talent but could be a huge headache

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      2025 College Football Thread

      By Shocker · Posted

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
