War Panther - Cam to have a security blanket

Recommended Posts

Not to discount the talents of the Auburn players we've picked up, but it seems the coaches have a very clear plan.

With no OTA's, Cam will most certainly need a pretty good ramp up period on the 2nd or even 3rd team (if we get a vet). What better way to smooth that learning curve for Newton than have the guy snapping the ball, the guy protecting your blindside and the guy running routes all be familiar to you?

A good plan if you ask me. Superb if one or two of these guys makes the roster.

This says that Cam's probably the starter this year and that we're probably bringing in a vet QB to take the early blows while Newton gets ramped up to speed. Obviously not earth shattering, but it tells what direction they're going.

Savvy moves imo.

They picked up his WR Darvin Adams as an UDFA.

    • In all honesty, no one knows if Dan really pushed for Bryce to be drafted. It's not fair to Dan to say that just because he was a part of the Fitterer regime then he was in full support of drafting Bryce. If the HC, Reich at the time really wanted Stroud but got bullied into drafting Bryce then Dan had even less say so in the matter. Dan was also saddled with giving Bryce an opportunity to compete in years 2/3 because of the cost to trade up and get him by ownership.  Outside of managing the QB position, Dan has made good moves and built a decent roster. Solidified the O-line and D-line, drafted contributors, and made good trades (Mike Jackson), and free agent signings (Dowdle). I do believe that this offseason will be really important for Dan and we'll see whose side he is clearly on. Bryce has had plenty of time and opportunity to prove himself and he has failed, if Dan is a Bryce homer he'll give him another year and pick up the 5th year option. If Dan isn't a Bryce homer, he'll move on from Bryce. Either way, we'll find out this offseason. 
    • You also have to extend him and probably deal/cut Bryce 
    • Jones would be what he is if he was on this team, a fairly middle of the road game manager. Still and upgrade but probably not worth the price the 49ers may want for him. If it's not something stupid in terms of ask and he doesn't want something even more stupid in terms of longish term contract, I am okay with a middling game manager until we can do better through the draft. The one thing that wouldn't be terrible is some stability at QB. That has almost never happened under Tepper.
