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.

I mean he fits a profile. Can’t be that expensive. I am open to possibilities.  Just don’t make him the ONE possibility and I would have no issue with seeing what we can see.

I get it, turn over every rock.  I'm just saying out of the usual suspects like Garner Minshew, look at a dude that most people have turned the page on already.

Davis Mills didnt look too bad on the weekend 

The fact that anyone in our fan base had this thought is exhibit A of just how bad our QB situation is.

That is where you could find a ton of value. Guys that people gave up on early. It wasn’t 40 fuging games early. They got very few games - or practices some of them. Oops  like when Decca records told the Beatles no, that “guitar bands are going out of style” lol. 

Johnny Unitas. Look up his history. And it was much simpler back then. The history is a great story and plenty of others have similar ones.
