Garrett Wilson could be an excellent addition for us, but I’m not convinced we will be able to get him for a price that makes sense for us. I think we’d be talking a first rounder or a second and some extra picks. With our team not being a receiver away from contention, we’d be better off building through the draft. There’ll be good receivers in the draft class and we can continue to build the trenches and upgrade the defense.

I’d be questioning his desire as a sports person if he wasn’t pissed off at being benched. Hopefully he takes it as a learning opportunity and works hard to earn another shot (either here or elsewhere).

Interesting decision. I can only think this decision has been made to compete and win games, rather than be patient with Young and see how he develops (ie letting us tank if things don’t improve). Unless of course it’s being done to protect Young rather than break his confidence entirely, but generally speaking when QBs struggle this bad it is difficult to recover (eg Blaine Gabbert).

I guess we’ve gone with the he helped turnaround Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, so he can turnaround Bryce Young after a woeful rookie season. I’m not sure who I wanted to become our next head coach, and to be honest, I’m not sure it will matter unless the owner takes a hands off approach.

If we could land Rodgers without giving up the first overall pick, then I guess there wouldn’t be anything wrong with a short term rental. I mean, we could still draft our quarterback of choice to sit and develop behind Rodgers, and having Rodgers would arguably give us a chance to win our division. That said, I don’t see it happening.

If you include backups, are there 64 better quarterbacks than him? Based off his last few seasons his days as a starting quarterback in this league are arguably over, but as a backup he has more to offer than a lot of the backup quarterbacks in the league. If he’s willing to act as a backup and take that kind of deal, maybe he gets a deal somewhere around the league. However, if Cam still believes he can start and wants that opportunity and to be paid as such, then I can’t see him getting another shot.

Depends if that was pre- or post-combine. The combine might have changed their thinking. It’s also possible that we have traded up so we can have our pick of the quarterbacks after we’ve done further research and due diligence.

I don’t see us trading down, but I guess if another team offers the farm to draft someone specific and we are happy with any of the to four QBs, then maybe we do it. That said, I don’t see that happening.

I think we will draft Stroud or Young with the pick, but if we are swinging for the fences with a raw high upside pick, then I could see us drafting Richardson in the hopes he’s Cam Newton 2.0.

First Leftwich, now Moore. Last year they were getting interviews for head coaching positions, and this year they are unemployed. Doesn’t happen often, and to be honest, I’m struggling to think of examples…

4,700 yards with 25 TDs to 9 INTs on a team that was a shadow of their championship team? I’d say that’s decent production. Put him on a team with one of the best defensive and offensive supporting casts, with a one of the better play callers, and I think they’d get something out of Brady.

Be interesting to see what the 49ers would do with Brady at this stage in his career. It would certainly give them decisions to make on Purdy and Lance.

Perhaps, but he still needs to go out there and give it his best shot. Seems like he can at least grip the ball somewhat based off the clips of him throwing on the sidelines. Even if it’s not 100%.

Purdy needs to toughen up and get on with it. Grit his teeth and play through any pain. You wouldn’t have seen legends like Montana, Elway, Marino (etc) stood on the sideline. They’d have been out there playing. Purdy need to get a grip and play. One game from the Super Bowl and making history.

Carr and Garoppolo will be 32 or turn 32 during the 2023 season. No team is buying them for ten years. They could play into their forties but it’s more likely they will be unquestioned starters into their mid-30s. We could offer them a good contract and make them our starter for the next few seasons (at least). We would have a young quarterback being coached up behind them to be a potential successor, cheaper backup, or potential trade chip. If we are throwing a rookie in there, then obviously we’d be looking for a different kind of veteran quarterback. Perhaps that wasn’t clear in my original post.
