I wouldn't be happy if I was them either, I still don't understand trading him for a 4th rounder.

Purdy is far from a sure thing and they're banking their future on him, as Darnold clearly isn't meant to be their future starter.  I figured they'd keep him, even as as the 3rd stringer for now, to see if they can keep developing him in case Purdy isn't it.

They really never gave him much of a shot, he always was going to need a redshirt season, then he gets the absurd rain game to open the season last year, gets hurt in game 2 and never plays for them again.

You clearly haven't been around the 49er's facility or their practices. What you got from Purdy is a 40-50+ game college starter who elevated Iowa State from irrelevancy. What you got from Lance is a guy who started something like 13 games at North Dakota State. 

Purdy is head and shoulders the better quarterback and if he doesn't get the UCL injury, who knows how that Eagles game turns out. 

Darnold isn't a bad QB. His two head coaches prior to now were Adam Gase and Matt Rhule. Tom Brady would've flamed out of the league with those two as his first two head coaches.

Coming from the person who was wanting AR over Young I find this a very interesting take...

That's kind of surprise.

Wonder what the reason is.

Reddick, Graham, Josh Sweat and now Nolan Smith are all on that team as edge rushers. That's not to add that their interior is totally capable of getting pressures and sacks too.

Too many ppl there to be eating off of one plate is my guess.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
