This is what everybody wanted. Everybody always said Jake was just a mediocre QB, we couldn't be a great offense with him, we should find a true franchise QB. Well, that's what JR and the front office are trying to do. We got a guy lots of people thought was gonna be a top 10 pick, and we're throwing him out there and letting him develop. It's gonna take time. Likewise, we needed a number 2 receiver, so we drafted 3 guys. Two of them, LaFell and Gettis, have shown a little promise, but they too need time to learn the pro game. We could have kept Jake or Josh McCown or signed Byron Leftwitch, or just left Moore in, and kept Moose, or gotten Houshmanzada or Boldin, and we'd be an 8-8, maybe even 9-7 team. Instead, we decided to forge a new identity. There's gonna be growing pains this year, big ones. We're gonna lose a lot of games. But we're also gonna get to enjoy watching some guys develop. Gettis is gonna make a few plays, Clausen is gonna have some good throws, Hardy will make at least one game changing play this year on defense. It will be fun to see Goodson and LaFell get a chance to get the ball in their hands some. Enjoy watching the team develop, cheer for the wins we do get and realize that things are getting better. Yes, JR wanted to go cheap in the last year of the CBA, but it also happened to be a good time to lay the foundation for the future of the team as well. It's not like we're never gonna sign a free agent again. The tickets will be cheap, the huddle tailgates will be just as awesome, and in a few years, when the team is winning again, you can tell your fairweather friends that you were there through the lean times.

I have the same kind of optimism as you. we knew the game was going to be sloppy. Im really believing we have some truly ignorant fans. Seems like the majority of them is on this site. +/- some

Basicially I feel that you are ignorant if you believed that a rookie qb was going to get his first professional game and not make mistakes. its not like he made awful decisions like the opponent qb. He played like a learning rookie. PERIOD. You looking at all these numbers and stats n shyt. F*ck the numbers. He played like all the other greats did when they was a rookie..And to credit Clausen's situation compared to the rest, the others probably didn't have their first in the rain...

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
