Yep, his career avg from pff is 53.  Thats the best we can do as a backup?  Really, then factor in his cost and its crazy he is on the squad

I don't think we have an adequate replacement for him, unfortunately. Hopefully I am wrong about him sucking or having a better player available.

I would have to add what the 49ers gave up to trade for Trey Lance as “up there too”. They gave up 3 first rounders for a QB that never did anything. Ouch. 

I agree, but the reason I didn't include that one is that the niners were going for a qb, and I think you have to take some chances for a qb.  The Saints gave up their whole draft for a  rb who, while a good rb, is mostly known as a stoner.  And the Vikes handed three SB wins to the Cowgals.

Shiitt rake but I assume Shannahhan wanted Mac and was overridden!

I wonder about that to.  Got to admit I did wonder why they decided to go for Trey when Mac seemed to have about the same chance of succeeding.  

It would be ironic if they made such a failed gamble, and then ended up with Purdy being a diamond in the rough.  Would prove that SF might be the luckiest franchise in history, with getting Montana in the third round, Steve Young, and then drafting Purdy in the sixth.

Agreed, completely!  I have had that thought many, many times. 

I still don't know how Thomas got that contract.  We seriously overpaid for the 3 or 4 surprise catches he will make for us per year.

Word was Rhule had become a fan. That's about all I know.

Back when it happened, the story was that the two of them didn't discuss their final decisions till Draft Day and they agreed on Lance.

I've seen it suggested that maybe Shanahan might have preferred Jones but I've never read anything definitive.

He was? 🤔

It wasn't necessarily desperation.

Henderson was a guy Matt Rhule coveted heavily in the previous year's draft (Brown eventually won out). When the opportunity came to get him, he was ecstatic.

Do they still go through with that traded if Horn doesn't get hurt though? Because I don't think so.

Cowboys told Will Grier he will be released after the Raiders game.  They’re letting him play the entire game to put something in film.  He’s honestly played well in the preseason since joining them last year.  I wouldn’t mind bringing him back instead of Corral.  

If he doesn’t find a home he might be on their practice squad after last night.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Richard Sherman got dog piled for basically saying he didn't stand out as a WR prospect but looked elite as a CB prospect. A few months ago you could find other players commenting on his limited route tree and raw route running but the search algorithms are flooded with love affair right now. The guy is the best CB prospect in years and he'll contribute on offense too. That is the absolute opposite of a knock on the guy. It's just the people buying into him being a full time two way player in the NFL like he was at Colorado who gets their panties in a wad over just stating the simple reality that he ain't gonna be a full time two way player at the NFL level with 17 games seasons and no Travis Hunter fan should want that either if you want the guy to make it to a second contract.

      You do know you have to be invited to College GameDay? They called him out there and asked him about it and he answered it. And do you think he would have this type of interactions with a coach he doesn't have that type of relationship with? You're reaching to the furthest extent lol. I've seen a video of Hunter literally getting cursed out by Shedeur by not catching a BAD pass from Sanders and he didn't say anything just went out and caught a TD pass the next play! A "diva" would've got into a shouting match with his QB

      WHAT?!?!?!?! Honestly for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're saying here.  How are you saying their supporting casts cancel each other out and Hunter STILL had the better season? The supporting cast is LITERALLY the reason that he had the better season statistically.  If you put T-Mac on Colorado in place of Hunter, I'm 100% convinced he'd have had better stats than Hunter did, as he already had almost the same number of catches, and more yards, with a significantly worse QB and with zero other offensive weapons to take any attention away from him like Hunter had. If you think Hunter having 7 more TDs is more because of Hunter vs T-Mac and not because Hunter's QB had literally DOUBLE the number of TD's this year than T-Mac's QB, then I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.
