He's started 5 games guys...FIVE! Spot duty in another 8.  How in the world can anyone definitely say he sucks?  Just because 49ers fans soured on him and said he sucks after an injury riddled rookie season and being behind the learning curve.  

The dude has been in the League 4 years and is 25-years old!  He's Penix age now when Penix was a rookie.  He's been in multiple systems now, healthy and obviously has a better feel for the Pro game than he did as a super-raw rookie.

The best part is we wouldn’t have to trade for him. Just sign him to a decent backup QB deal.

To sweeten the deal have language about an open competition. As a FA, he could sign just about anywhere as a pure backup or just stay in SoCal backing up Herbert.  I bet he's chomping at the bit a get a shot at starting again.  I highly doubt he gets an undisputed QB1 gig anywhere, that's the reason I would put verbiage about an open QB1 competition to brush aside any purely backup deals and that would put us at the head of the line.

Me, I was pulling for us to draft Mac Jones back in the day. Is he the answer here? I'd have said hell no before this season, but he has me intrigued. Yeah, he's in a great system there, but one riddled with injuries.

Color me intrigued by the possibility of Jones, but in no way could I go for Kyler Murray. He's just Bryce Young with  10% more arm and 4x the pay. 

 

Any QB that his team needs contractually obligate him to doing film study, disqualified.

All the good stuff in here aside, it didn’t take that long for Bryce. I haven’t watched the guy myself. Just sayin.

His biggest problem was he was a one system, one year starting RSO at powerhouse DII school before declaring for the draft.  All of that worked to his disadvantage.  No idea how to work in a different system, started just one season (plus one more game) for ND St. who steamrolled over all the competition. While he was blowing out teams, it was DII talent after all.

He honestly had zero business declaring for the draft.  He clearly was not even close to being ready for the NFL, let alone a NFL blueblood like the 49ers with an offensive minded HC expecting nothing but excellence out of his QBs.  To top it off, he got hurt early in the season and struggled to get healthy.  So yeah, he got a raw deal, but I'm willing to bet the QB he is now is not remotely the QB the 49ers kicked to the curb so early in his career.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
