just heard on espn. details forthcoming. apologies if already posted.

 

CB Eric Wright was drafted by the Browns, played for the Lions in 2011 when we played them, spent a season in Tampa Bay in 2012 when we played them twice, and was traded to the 49ers in the offseason.

 

Our current offensive roster has played him three times, so that's good news.

As a 49ers fan, this makes no sense. Eric Wright is horrible, and Nnamdi played solid in the few games he played.

 

 

I have a feeling Nnamdi goes back to Oakland. He won't have to move his family, and as Nick Foles showed us, the Raiders desperately need help.

 

Nnamdi is still a very good press man corner on the right side of the field, I don't know why the Eagles and 49ers moved him the the left, or forced him into more zone coverage.

are carlos rogers and tarell brown still your starting CBs? it looks like asomugha was second string anyway, so it's not like this would effect the starting lineup.

 

either way i expect we'll take advantage of this by spreading that secondary out on the field. expect to see a lot of smith/lafell/ginn sets to see if we can get anyone lined up against wright.

Eric and Nnamdi are like the same player. Both started out has absolute studs then fell off hard...We can only hope the coaches seen something in practice that made them go with Wright over Nnamdi.

Yes, those are the starters, and Brock is the #3, and has been VERY good.

 

No, he won't make a huge difference, I just don't agree that the guy he was cut for is better. Nnamdi came in on a min contract and his contract was all incentives. No reason to cut him AT ALL.

Asomugha wasn't a starter.

Because "a lot of guys are winning with 2's and 3's". Our best corner for years could damn near lock wide out's all day but he would still draw penalties in the flow of the game. I s'pose the philosophy is that if a top 3 corner is gonna draw flags at bad times then what difference does it make. Take care of whats up front first and the guys in the back will flourish regardless.

Yeah, but sometimes they move him over and put Rogers in the slot. Brock was the starter two years ago and got hurt, then Culliver was inserted and played masterfully and never lost his spot. It's ashame we lost Culliver before the season started.

 

 

Oh, and we cut Marcus Cooper just before the season started and he's now graded as the 4th best CB in the NFL  for the Chiefs and only played in 5 games.

 

We had an embarressment of riches to start the year.

What about San Diego? Just another Cali team he wouldn't have to more for.

Nnamdi has to go through claims, so we're going to be there the bottom of the list.  I'd claim him for war secrets and to see what he has left. He's only making vet minimum.

 

As for Eric Wright, he gets burned a lot.  Never liked his game.

 

That is for players with less then 4 accrued years.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
