Bears rookie RT Darnell Wright accidentally trained for their WR conditioning test somehow and lost 16lbs lol.

Of course they are spinning it positively, but it’s not a given that weight loss is always positive on the OL.

Okay, that's funny 😄

Poor kid was a product of the media hyping him up, same for Wilson and Jones. 

I was the tank engineer and my wish was always Lawrence with a Fields at worst. It still boggles my mind that Lawrence and Fields went almost wire to wire 1 and 2 for 3 years and somehow in a couple dazzling practice throws that two guys, and almost Jones, jumped between them. Not sure what the future lies for both of them but it certainly was not surprising to see what happened.

Then factor in the fact that the Niners traded two additional first round picks and a third to swap #12 for #3 to draft him.  It's not like they didn't know he was going to take some time to develop, in the best case scenario.

We'll see.  Lance is working with a pretty good offensive staff and environment to develop.  They might like to see some progress from him. 

If we had drafted him and he was struggling after surviving Moe, Larry, and Curley trying to develop him, things would be a bit less ominous.  But, if it doesn't take here shortly, he doesn't have a lot of excuses.

We haven't even seen the kid play yet. Im not writing off Lance until he gets some meaningful playing time. Injuries seem to be his biggest concern as of now.

Hi career stats though a small sample size are not horrible. Maybe a lower completion percentage than youd like to see but I agree he does need more time before the jury is out on him. I could see a team taking a chance and offering San Fran something for him like a third or fourth just to see if they would bite on it. If I had a good aging starter that needs someone to eventually take over I would consider throwing a fourth offer to them to see if I could keep developing him and eventually have him ready. He is definitely worth another shot with another team but I dont think he gets it with the 49ers

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
