BRH Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 This also probably means the Rams will up their offer for OBJ, perhaps to a point where we either don’t want to or can’t come close.

I'm talking about live game reps. 3 years is a really long time to go without any consistent live game reps. It's hard to see a path for him becoming a successful QB. Not that I'm advocating they should move on from him, but they need to be realistic about his chances and make decisions accordingly. If he doesn't pan out they need draft picks and young players at premium positions. Not a RB with an injury history. They didn't make this trade because of Trey Lance anyways. They made it because they think they can win a Super Bowl this year. Personally I think they are overrating their own chances. The NFC is weak but they still need to actually beat whatever AFC team makes it there if they get that far. This is a multi year move make no mistake. And they wouldn't be drafting QB this year with those picks anyway. For most teams when they fail they want a high enough pick to grab a top QB. It makes zero difference if you think Lance is good, that's completely irrelevant. What you need to understand is they think he's good so they are going to support him as best they can to succeed. Premier skill talent around him helps that's indisputable. Taking a year or two to develop your mechanics, develop a full understanding of the offense and concepts, and practicing those concepts is very useful and applicable to development. In fact, for some QBs its more helpful because they don't get their head bashed in while trying to learn (see David Carr). Aaron Rogers spent 4 years on the bench then came in and dominated. 3 hours ago, NewEra said: That game was in a monsoon—-and the OL got destroyed. I didn’t know that OLmen were at a disadvantage when playing in a monsoon- Their OL has been 🤮 this year and their 2nd and 3rd best OLmen are free agents next year. Low sacks given up doesn’t prove an OL is good. Nor does it extrapolate how good their OL will be next year if they lose two of their best starters. I’ve watched 5 of their games this year (and most of them the last 12 years). Their OL hasn’t been good. You can talk about jimmys sacks all you want. I know what I see You realize they can still improve their line and resign those guys right? This doesn't stop them. They have over $51 million in cap space next year before they do a couple easy restructures/extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d have to let some players walk to keep him too they are in danger of going all in on this year and not winning it then being screwed in the future especially because they traded up for Lance also. I still think the eagles and cowboys with Dak are gonna be tough. It’s hard to count out Brady figuring it out too With the NFC anything is possible, it’s all weak.

They aren’t even close to the same thing. And last year, he was practicing as a backup QB- very few reps. The dude has probably played less football than any starting qb in league history. But he’s practiced….. Aaron Rogers sat the bench 4 years. It's irrelevant about what you think of Lance chance to succeed. What's important is the 49ers perspective they do believe in him and they are doing everything possible to support him and give him the best weapons, which they are doing.

His dad is one of the men that trivialized the position. And how did daddy do with those scrubs? He made some decent fantasy football pickups for us but won nothing with Tatum Bell, Shaun Droughns, Mike Anderson, etc... the only time he won anything was with Terrell Davis who was an absolute monster that posted back to back 2k yards from scrimmage. I'm not advocating for high investments in RBs, I'm really not. I think contracts like the one the Packers have Aaron Jones are stupid... however... there are a few select elite talents that are worth it every so often and with what CMC brings as both a runner and receiver is an immense help for a young QB. Easy screens, check downs, and designed 5 yard dumps that keep the chains moving and create explosive plays? Now you are simplifying the game for your QB and keeping the defense honest. Tom Brady played only part time in college and sat for a year+ before he got the call. Steve Young was buried for years. It's extremely common for QBs to sit for 1 year too... but all of that is irrelevant my or your opinion of Lance is meaningless, what matters is the 49ers doing the best they can to support what they consider a good QB. The only outstanding issue with CMC is he is made of paper machete. Edited October 22, 2022 by ArtVandalay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed a ton of games and it was an accomplishment for him to be healthy for 2 seasons in his career. Injury prone means injuries tend to happen often to a player. Not that it's a virtual certainty he will be injured. CMC carries considerable injury risk. Doesn't mean injury is a foregone conclusion but he's certainly at a heightened risk.

I don’t see how Deebos extension can free up that much when the original 4th year of his rookie deal was under 2M. Who said they were a dumb team that doesn’t know how to build? I said it a strange strategy to spend so many assets on the RB position. And I’m right. It is a strange strategy. This RB investment is up there with the saints trading for Ricky Williams and the Vikings trading for Herschel Walker. And neither were coming off 2 season ending injuries.

BADOLBILZ Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 8 hours ago, HappyDays said: According to DVOA they have an 8.2% chance of reaching the Super Bowl, and a 3.4% chance of winning it. That's slightly better than their 3.1% chance of ending up with a top 5 pick in the draft (which would be gifted to the Miami Dolphins). Not sure I like "those odds." McCaffrey might change each of those percentages by 0.2? The 49ers are tied for first place in their very winnable division and have the second highest point differential in the NFC. Last year they won 2 games on the road as a wildcard to reach the NFCCG..........so if they win the division they are better positioned than last year entering the tournament...........you paint it out like they are some scrub in-the-hunt also-ran like the 2017 Bills with the worst point differential of an AFC playoff team in 30 years. And I'm not sure you understand what those numbers/percentages are telling you. The Bills entered the season as the SB favorite.......one of the smallest favorites ever with a sub 7% chance to win the Super Bowl. So an 8.2% chance of reaching the SB isn't minuscule.
