*** San Francisco 49ers *** Kittle locked down til 2029; Purdy contract watch underway (9 Viewers)

Bosa posted a pic on IG from New York City. His agent has an office in NYC. Please let this be a sign a deal is close.

This needs to get done. Key prob is a few other pass rushers are waiting to sign deals and he wants to see what they get and make sure his contract is tops. He doesn’t want to set the bar, he want to jump right over it, which is understandable.

Nonetheless, he needs to be ready to go. Without him on the field, this defense is a huge step down.
 
Took this from the Purdy thread, thought it fits here better

I'm also not 100% convinced this defense will be dominant this year. Bosa's holdout makes the team's pass rush questionable (even if he returns, will he be 100% as effective? injury concerns?), and it remains to see what effect the change in defensive coordinators is going to have (I suspect very little, but who knows). So the team may have to lean on the offense a little more than some people are predicting.

I kinda agree. I don't think they'll be bad by any means, but I'm not sold on Wilks yet, the Bosa situation is just frustrating, and I'm a little worried about CB2 and slot corner.

One thing no one is talking about is special teams. Our punter is fine, but kicker and returners right now are a little shaky. If we don't figure it out quick it could get ugly.
 
Chiefs' Jones hints he could hold out until Week 8: 'I can afford it'



If Bosa is waiting for Chris Jones to sign so he can beat it, he might wanna rethink that. Sounds like Jones is dug in.
 

Rapoport: 49ers name Sam Darnold QB2, exploring trade options for Trey Lance​




Wouldn't make sense to trade him at this time IMO. We may need QB3 at some point, and I know nothing about Allen.

Imagine if they hit on 1st round picks more often.

49ers' first-round picks since 2017:

- Solomon Thomas
- Reuben Foster
- Mike McGlinchey
- Nick Bosa (still here!)
- Javon Kinlaw (still here!)
- Brandon Aiyuk (still here!)
- Trey Lance (here ... for now)

Team has been in 3 of the last 4 NFCCGs.
 
Purdy update:

Lombardi:

There’ll be a lot talk about Trey Lance and Sam Darnold today. But on top of that, the 49ers’ QB1 just put together a perfect practice…

Brock Purdy: 12-12


Is it week 1 yet?
 
With the QB drama settling down, let's get on with the season!

NFL.com released their 2023 Offense Rankings and look who's at the top 👀

That's right, haters, let it wash over you. The 49ers are listed at #1. Now, we all know rankings are just opinions, but its pretty crazy that a team without a proven QB, and an absolute scrub QB2 (the internet's consensus opinion, not mine) is ranked above teams that have Mahomes, Allen, and Hurts. I don't expect this prediction to come true, but its should be a fun season!!!

Top 9:

1. 49ers
2. Chiefs
3. Bills
4. Eagles
5. Jaguars
6. Bengals
7. Jets
8. Cowboys
9. Chargers

No way you guys are gonna cut Moody b/c he strained his hammy, right? Might be some strange roster moves leading up to week 1 if we can't play though.
 
2 players to watch tonight:

DE Drake Jackson (95) and DT Kalia Davis (93).

This will be the first preseason game this year for both 2nd year players and Davis’ first game as a 49er. He essentially red-shirted his rookie year due to an ACL injury and has been dealing with a hamstring issue in training camp. His quick get-off was apparent in practice this week and it will be interesting to see if he can continue that momentum tonight. A roster spot may be on the line.
 
But with that, they must be feeling good about Purdy. They’ve obviously seen what they to and I’m actually comfortable with Darnold as a backup. CMC getting hurt would be a disaster though.

Darnold >>>>> Lance at this point in their careers. People think they know what Darnold is because they know what hes been.

Remember when we all KNEW what Geno Smith was?

All that said, Purdy is gonna make believers out of a LOT of doubters this season, and I'll be here for it ALL. SEASON. LONG.
 
Trade all those 3rds for 5ths, 6ths, and 7ths... that's where SF makes their hay 😆

Lombardi:

After trading Trey Lance to Dallas, the 49ers now have 11 picks in the 2024 draft:

1. Round 1
2. Round 2
3. Round 3
4. Round 3 comp
5. Round 3 comp
6. Round 4
7. Round 4 (via Trey Lance trade)
8. Round 5 comp
9. Round 6
10. Round 6 comp
11. Round 7
 
The extra $3.5 million in cap space is pretty important for this team too.

Edit: Lombardi is now saying it’s only a little less than $1m in space this year and $5 million next year. I swear I read they’d save $3.5 in a trade somewhere. Oh well.

Well, I admire your optimistic take. Guess we don't have a choice but put it behind us as fans. Just hard to believe that someone in the front office thought this was a good idea at any point.

The funniest thing to me is not just the 3 1sts, but that they felt they had to add the 3rd rounder to seal the deal. Like Miami was going to walk away from that deal lol

Dude he sucks. It is what it is. Since Purdy emerged, I could not care less about Lance or the deal that we made to draft him. It doesn't f'n matter. When we get ring #6 nobody will talk about Lance.

Just my $.02.

The F are you taking about?
 
doesn't look like starters Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Javon Hargrave, Arik Armsted and Dre Greenlaw will play tonight.

DT Kalia Davis to make his 49ers' debut. (No. 93)
 
Well, I admire your optimistic take. Guess we don't have a choice but put it behind us as fans
Dude he sucks.

Just my $.02.
No he doesn't. He played one year of division 2 football and the 49ers acted like he should just step right in year two and kill it. They over-drafted him. That's on them. And yes, it does ffffffffffing matter. Huge loss of draft capital and that hurts in the short term and in the long run.

The whole series of events involving Lance was a fiasco. Thankfully they fell into Purdy. The one saving grace

Well we actually don't know. I'm just so f'n sick of the QB crap, I'm glad he's gone and hope he gets a chance somewhere, but let's be honest, he's a multi millionaire for doing absolutely NOTHING in SF. I can't say I feel bad for him. He should have never been drafted high enough to get that kind of rookie contract in the first place.

Again, that's on the 49ers, not Lance. You act like Lance mailed it in like JaMarcus Russell. He didn't. He broke his friggin ankle last year. Part of the perception of Lance being a "bust" is that the 49ers front office lost their friggin mind and traded a boatload of picks to move up to #3 overall and drafted a 20 year old kid with one year of division 2 football and who didn't really fit their system. If he was drafted in the 2nd round where he probably should have gone, he would be a "prospect", not a bust. There was a lot of talk that Shanahan didn't want to draft him. If that's true, it's even more of a clusterfock because that means Lynch/Peters screwed the pooch.

Lynch on right now trying to spin his screw up

Not even close. He's done nothing, it doesn't matter who's fault that is.

I'm done talking about Lance. Couldn't care less what happens to him next, he's rich AF and is the Cowboys problem now.

Yeah, draft a 20 year old QB with one year of division 2 ball behind him AND give up 3 firsts and a third for him. Oh wait, he doesn't really fit our system either. What could possibly go wrong?

Lynch even said the other day that Lance was doing fine considering they didn't design their offense for his skill set. I'm sorry, I like Lynch but that statement just shows how badly they screwed up. They draft a guy who they expected the head coach to redesign his system around instead of finding a guy who fit their system. So many things wrong with that.

Dude, I don't care enough to argue. Lance is ancient history as far as I'm concerned. Only the future matters.

I dunno, it seems like he’s taking responsibility for making a terrible move. It’s a move that would have cost most GMs their jobs, but he and his staff have nailed enough other things where, miraculously, it looks like they can still field a playoff team with upside. So he can afford to take this one on chin.

It matters and it's huge. Lynch's head should roll its that bad. It is by far the worst trade an nfl team has made that I can remember and quite frankly at the time even alot of people were questioning it. It's not like it was a concensus move
 
According to Vegas the Niners are one of the favorites to make/win the Super Bowl this year; meanwhile the Steelers are projected worst in their own division.

Yet SF are only 2.5 point favs at the Steelers in week 1. What gives?

It was a bad move but half of 1st round QBs are busts, it's part or football. They just paid way too much, maybe I'm the only Niner fan who doesnt care that much.

Before they hired Shanahan.amd Lynch, I had boycotted the team. Wouldn't even watch. Hated York, hated the fact that once Harbaugh got ran out of town we had to endure the Chip Kelly and Jim Tomsula years. I just wanted York to hire a good coach and stay out of the way. I wanted a team that I wasn't embarrassed to be a fan of. Shanahan and Lynch have built this team into a yearly contender, and one bad move isn't cause for a front office shake up, period.

I hope Shanahan and Lynch stick around for a long time.

They are still missing their best player. It’s about time to hit the panic button on the Bosa situation.
 

John Lynch optimistic 49ers will sign Nick Bosa before Week 1​


Bosa didn't report for training camp with his teammates on July 25. He has remained away as he awaits a new contract. The negotiations have taken much longer than anyone outside the organization anticipated, with some wondering if a deal will get finalized before the 49ers travel to open their regular season against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Does Lynch still believe a deal is imminent and will get done before Week 1?

"Yeah, I do," Lynch responded during his post-game press conference. "And we got a lot of work to do, and we'll continue to do that. He's a great player. We want them here. We need them here.

That leaves the 49ers with about two weeks to get the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year signed and into the building. Hopefully, the negotiations don't drag out further, and fans receive good news soon.

Hating the previous guys doesn't mean the current guys get to do whatever they want

yes lots of qbs bust in the first round but this wasn't taking a first-round qb it was him taking 3 first-round qbs. Any fan should care about that

And yet I don't because they're still contenders despite the Lance debacle. If they were an average team because of It, I'd probably feel different.

I'm just glad my team is.good again. I'm not taking it for granted.
 
Nick Wagoner pointing out that between having to pay Allen’s contract and signing a replacement backup QB next year, the team isn’t really saving much if any cap room with the Lance trade.

You’ll find plenty of Lynch criticism from me historically in the Niners threads. At the time of the trade I thought this regime should be fired if it doesn’t work out. But yet, here we are, and SF has been extremely successful regardless. You’d really fire Lynch right now?

I would yes...can you imagine what this team would be like with the last 2 (and potentially 3) first round picks

Team would be pretty insane with Micah Parsons

At the time I thought it was a bad idea as well...i remember getting killed in this thread for suggesting a guy that has played essentially a year of football will never be worth 3 first round picks
 
Lombardi

PFF's highest-graded 49ers' blocker yesterday was Jaylon Moore. Clean sheet over 20 pass blocking reps.

RT Matt Pryor delivered a clean sheet over 14 reps.

SF allowed only 2 pressures, one from Nick Zakelj and one from Leroy Watson.

Really nice showing from the O-line

Respectfully that’s a pretty insane take. Does he not get credit for finding an above average QB with the last pick in the draft? The Niners will probably have a pretty good QB room next year and will be spending less than 25% of Prescott’s contract on the entire position. They’ve got more blue chip players than any team in the league. Lynch gets credit for those things as well.

As an aside, my biggest problem with the trade at the time was that they went up without knowing who they were going to pick. You can’t trade three firsts unless you are in love with a specific guy. I’m never going to kill specific talent evaluations because none of us have any idea what we’re talking about in that arena. There’s a retrospective narrative you can create for for why almost every pick is a bad one

Again this isn't one pick - it's 4. That's very different than taking Jamarcus Russel with your existing pick. That's bad luck

To each his own for sure but this is the most embarrassing mistake in NFL history from a draft perspective.

As an aside, my biggest problem with the trade at the time was that they went up without knowing who they were going to pick. You can’t trade three firsts unless you are in love with a specific guy. I’m never going to kill specific talent evaluations because none of us have any idea what we’re talking about in that arena. There’s a retrospective narrative you can create for for why almost every pick is a bad one

Again this isn't one pick - it's 4. That's very different than taking Jamarcus Russel with your existing pick. That's bad luck

To each his own for sure but this is the most embarrassing mistake in NFL history from a draft perspective.
I don’t necessarily disagree but the team wins games and that’s how management is evaluated, and properly so.
 
Lynch's head should roll its that bad.

It was a bad move but half of 1st round QBs are busts, it's part or football. They just paid way too much, maybe I'm the only Niner fan who doesnt care that much.

Before they hired Shanahan.amd Lynch, I had boycotted the team. Wouldn't even watch. Hated York, hated the fact that once Harbaugh got ran out of town we had to endure the Chip Kelly and Jim Tomsula years. I just wanted York to hire a good coach and stay out of the way. I wanted a team that I wasn't embarrassed to be a fan of. Shanahan and Lynch have built this team into a yearly contender, and one bad move isn't cause for a front office shake up, period.

I hope Shanahan and Lynch stick around for a long time.

Hating the previous guys doesn't mean the current guys get to do whatever they want

yes lots of qbs bust in the first round but this wasn't taking a first-round qb it was him taking 3 first-round qbs. Any fan should care about that
You’ll find plenty of Lynch criticism from me historically in the Niners threads. At the time of the trade I thought this regime should be fired if it doesn’t work out. But yet, here we are, and SF has been extremely successful regardless. You’d really fire Lynch right now?

I would yes...can you imagine what this team would be like with the last 2 (and potentially 3) first round picks

Team would be pretty insane with Micah Parsons

At the time I thought it was a bad idea as well...i remember getting killed in this thread for suggesting a guy that has played essentially a year of football will never be worth 3 first round picks
Respectfully that’s a pretty insane take. Does he not get credit for finding an above average QB with the last pick in the draft? The Niners will probably have a pretty good QB room next year and will be spending less than 25% of Prescott’s contract on the entire position. They’ve got more blue chip players than any team in the league. Lynch gets credit for those things as well.

also, the Watson trade when combined with the contract they gave him was a far more egregious example of GM malpractice just from the last few years.
