Official Training Camp Thread -> Day 1

Wanted to mention - at tight end, other than the obvious (Greg), both Ian Thomas and (former Ferris State QB) Jason Vander Laan impressed tonight. Rivera seemed to be happy with both of them during his post-practice interview.

1  2  hour practice a day??  Band camp was a lot tougher than that. ( I know...it's in the CBA agreement...but........)

That’s why these cats drop like flies the first couple weeks.  Training camp used to flush out the imminent injuries.  Now they breeze thru camp and blow out all the tendons in week 1.

So did Byrd. People are really sleeping on him. He unfortunately didn’t get to play a lot last year but when he did he was clearly our 2nd best WR and his injuries have healed and should not be an issue. Samuel is still recovering. I’ve been a big Byrd fan because he’s produced more than other guys when given the opportunity. 

I'm a huge Byrd fan but a broken arm and leg isn't exactly the same injuries Samuel suffered. Both looked good with the limited time they got and if Byrd can hold up against the riggers of the NFL he has good hands and speed for days. I'm honestly not sure if Samuel will ever be the same. He's got a long way to go but hopefully he will come off Pup week 6 and be good to go.

Im on the Byrd bandwagon this year!  He showed out in the limited time he got before his injury last year.  If he stays healthy I think he could really be a good player for us this year!

It’ll be interesting to see how long of a leash Torrey gets 

Then again... Rivera is our coach so... he most likely doesn’t have to worry but on an even playing field, it could get interesting 

Maybe you can correct me here, but won't Turner have decision on what personnel is on the field? Ron even said he was going to let Norv control the offense, I assume that would include the players on the field.

That was shula's issue was that he didn't know how to use the talent he had on the roster in the right places.

    • If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed. 
    • There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.
    • Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
