Poor kid was a product of the media hyping him up, same for Wilson and Jones. 

I was the tank engineer and my wish was always Lawrence with a Fields at worst. It still boggles my mind that Lawrence and Fields went almost wire to wire 1 and 2 for 3 years and somehow in a couple dazzling practice throws that two guys, and almost Jones, jumped between them. Not sure what the future lies for both of them but it certainly was not surprising to see what happened.

Then factor in the fact that the Niners traded two additional first round picks and a third to swap #12 for #3 to draft him.  It's not like they didn't know he was going to take some time to develop, in the best case scenario.

We'll see.  Lance is working with a pretty good offensive staff and environment to develop.  They might like to see some progress from him. 

If we had drafted him and he was struggling after surviving Moe, Larry, and Curley trying to develop him, things would be a bit less ominous.  But, if it doesn't take here shortly, he doesn't have a lot of excuses.

We haven't even seen the kid play yet. Im not writing off Lance until he gets some meaningful playing time. Injuries seem to be his biggest concern as of now.

Hi career stats though a small sample size are not horrible. Maybe a lower completion percentage than youd like to see but I agree he does need more time before the jury is out on him. I could see a team taking a chance and offering San Fran something for him like a third or fourth just to see if they would bite on it. If I had a good aging starter that needs someone to eventually take over I would consider throwing a fourth offer to them to see if I could keep developing him and eventually have him ready. He is definitely worth another shot with another team but I dont think he gets it with the 49ers

Lolllll put your pen away then my guy because he's not seeing the field. He's behind Brock obviously and Sam D when do you expect him to see meaningful playing time?

Agreed. I just want the kid to get a fair shot at playing before we judge him. People calling him a bust is unfair until we actually see him play games.

 

San Fransico is literally the perfect place for both Purdy and Lance. The coaches seem to think Purdy is the better QB so far. That could change down the line but you never know with injuries and stuff like that.

 

I thought Darnold would be opening day starter honestly. But Purdy seems to be ahead of schedule.

Injuries can happen. Im not even saying it will be in San Fran. They might trade him for all we know. All im saying it is unfair to write his career off when he hasn't really played.

Ummm preseason out there a lot would be my first guess. See how he does and where he falls in terms of the depth chart after that if he remains healthy.

Agreed. Injuries have really screwed him. If he can somehow keep away from the injury bug he could be pretty decent if he gets a chance to develop.

 Someone has a temper problem.

 

This was not the first time Kelce got involved in a heated scuffle during the training camp. The day before, he had a confrontation with a referee, which included more than usual extracurricular activity during practice.

Additionally, Kelce had a previous altercation with cornerback Dicaprio Bootle, who also attempted to swipe at the ball after the play had ended. Safety Bryan Cook and running back La'Mical Perine had to intervene to separate them.

"Gotta be a better teammate gotta be a better leader... plain and simple," Kelce tweeted on Saturday.

 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/sony-michel-abruptly-retires-from-nfl-two-time-super-bowl-winning-running-back-calls-it-quits-at-age-28/

Sony Michel has decided to retire. 

McVay said the running back officially gave him the news during a meeting early Saturday. 

"We got a chance to meet [Saturday] morning and he was just kind of letting me know how his body was feeling and just some of his thoughts," McVay said of Michel. "And I think the most important thing is that he has clarity and feels at peace with the decision and what a competitor. I was sad for us, but I was happy for him and I know he gave a lot to this game and he can be really proud of everything that he's done and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next in his next chapter."

Michel's surprising decision to retire comes barely one month after he had made the decision to return to the Rams. After winning a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021, Michel signed with the Chargers in 2022 before making the decision to re-sign with McVay's team late last month. 

...Michel only played five seasons

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
