Dalton is an exceptional backup. Seems ideal for the 49ers. Perhaps he gets scooped by the Bears and then the 49ers really want Bridgewater. That would be pretty sweet.

I'm not convinced the 49er interest in Bridgewater was legit.

Seems a bit like news put out to create a market.  "If the 49ers are interested maybe we should be also"

Don't get me wrong, would love to be true and could be possible, but this time of year you can't believe everything you read.

Flipside, i.e. the 49ers get Dalton and the Bears take an interest in Bridgewater, could also be true.

Hate to say it but looks like teams are dwindling done for us. Will we keep Bridgewater or cut him. Wow I hate we have this problem to deal with.

Seems to me the Patriots are trying mimic Cam's best results here by getting him a deep threat and two TE's.

We only had Olsen and Shockey for one year but we threw all over the field that season. They are at least doing right by Cam's skillset.

True, but they have also had success with 2 TE sets, Hernadez and Gronk, but I do agree it does seem to favor Cam and good for him.

I hope they put him in a position to succeed.

Yeah, we will only ever know if it actually happens. I would be shocked if anyone would want him at that salary. It's extremely high for a backup QB and I am not seeing many teams desperate enough to want him as a starter at the moment.

There is always injuries during camp. Perhaps we get lucky in the draft, get a guy, he is "ahead of schedule" to be the starter and we can move Teddy to another team.

Quite a few long shots need to align for that, but we can always hope.

There was talk that Matt Rhule really liked him as a blocking tight end.

Moot point now, of course.

Yep more holes. Could our record be worse this year than last, I was hoping we would be this bad in Rhule’s first year, it’s like we decided to rebuild his second year. Thanks Hurney for the Bridgewater experience!

I actually think it could, and have for a while, but I'm in the minority on that front.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      Also, while the discussion is fun, I'm going to ask the original question in the OP again as nobody has mentioned one way or the other if they know..... Are they selling these in the team store yet? The timing of when these will start to ship out is really the only thing keeping me from putting my order in yet.  If I'll get it in a month or less, I'm ordering it now, if it's going to be a while, I'm going to wait to see if they offer the blue and/or the better version of them.

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By CRA · Posted

      I'm not sure Hunter is some super conditioned athlete that stands out among professionals.  I think he was afforded opportunity that just doesn't happen in football.  That's the most unique aspect.  He plays relatively light contact positions.  I mean, I might wager there are tons trash players on MLS rosters better conditioned than Hunter.  but I also saw Travis Hunter get absolutely cooked late in a couple games.   That's why I don't think he can play both ways in the NFL.   It was largely a sideshow IMO at Colorado.  If you are getting cooked late in games because you are tired at Colorado......you can't pull it off in the NFL outside of some situational package.

      Yeah but our recent history is probably less than a 20% "panning out" rate on Rounds 1-3. I am firmly in the prove it stage as far as that goes. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the guys we drafted a lot but I still need to see them develop and produce.
