Not a needle mover by any means, but JJ isn't a terrible acquisition considering the available options out there. 9ers definitely could have done worse.

I know they probably put him on IR, making him ineligible to play even if he was able to?

I think they're in the window, with a mix of high-salary players and now Bosa coming due for a big contract soon.

So they may feel pressure to have a good backup in case Trey still doesn't produce next season. They can't go through another season with uncertainty at the QB position. Too many good players and a high payroll for them to discard a season.

This was the main premise of making the move to draft Lance. It wasn't a lack of faith in Jimmy as a player. It was Jimmy's proneness to get hurt and miss huge chunks of time.

Unfortunately here we are again...

As far as good QB2's go, just as I mentioned in the offseason I think Tyrod Taylor would be a great backup for Lance.

Shanahan was asked in his presser if Lance was an option now. Shanahan immediately dismissed the question just saying 'it is not possible'.

Carolina cuts Baker Mayfield.

I can't beleive I'm asking this question, feels so grimy, but should Frisco make a waiver claim on. Apparently, he'll only carry a $1.3 mil cap hit.

He at least has experience, with a sprinkling of playoff experience as well.

All things considered, Baker becoming available could be one of the best (realistic) pickups they could make at this stage of the season.

Ugh, I need to take a shower

They've got to at least consider him. He's looking like something of a cancer, but he's had flashes of solid or even good play in the past. And going with a rookie, last pick in the draft is awfully dicey. I wouldn't expect them to pull the trigger, but again, there just isn't anything else out there right now.

No question I'd claim Mayfield.

The offense is the same one he ran with the Browns so it wouldn't take him long to be functional in the system and we're set up much like the Browns when he had his best season with a strong defense and focus on running the ball.

He's probably better than Purdy and he's better than Johnson and at least he's more talented than either one and has more big-game experience.

Don't get me wrong I don't love Mayfield or anything but if you're asking me to roll the dice on him, a 7th-round rookie, or a career journeyman backup I'd roll the dice on him and hope he gets hot during the playoffs.

Agreed. Grab him as a backup as the current guy they picked up sounds incapable. Let Purdy start until he shows he can't do it. Then if necessary bring in Mayfield. Desperate times call for Desperate measures.

Ridgeway who has been a surprise is out 6-8 weeks with a pec strain, another bullet on the dline

I don't think it's likely Lance is back but I wouldn't be shocked if he was.

The timetable for his injury was 4-6 months and it'd be about 4 months from his injury right about when the playoffs would start.

Given his relatively young age and the fact athletes in general just have good genetics in general I'd bet on his recovery being closer to 4 months than 6 months.

The big question would be is if he's ready how would you approach it. Guess it would depend on how he practices and how Purdy is doing at the time.

Rex Ryan said it doesn't matter if Purdy is the QB because the 49ers have a horizontal offense.

Dolphins were playing cover 0 many times, daring Purdy to beat them. He did beat them enough that they backed up.

Tampa Bay is a heavy blitz team, which has blitzes coming from everywhere. Bowles used to blitz the hell out of the 49ers when he was with the Cards because 49ers QBs were incapable of beating that blitz.

They're going to dare Purdy to beat them. Teams in general will load up against the run because the downfield passing isn't a big enough threat even with Jimmy and probably with Lance.

Should be an interesting game. Could be really low scoring. Until the final four minutes of the game, I would have said TB's offense (unintended dual meaning, there) was awful, but they came alive and did enough when they needed to.

While Brady is the GOAT for his career and showed last night that he can still do that in spots, at least he is a classic pocket passer. Our defense tends to do better against pocket passers than against the highly mobile QB's. We should be able to keep their running game in check and let Bosa and friends tee-off on Brady.

The Bucs do like to blitz so hopefully Shanahan has a plan to defeat the blitz in practice this week.

That's great news about Jimmy! Just have to keep winning so that we are alive when he's able to return.

Now the question is about IR. So we can bring two guys off the IR. If Jimmy can play, he's gotta be one of them. That leaves Kinlaw, who should be close to returning, and Mitchell. Both guys are made of tissue paper and I can see both getting hurt again once they return. Mitchell has played better in those brief times they played, but with CMC and Mason playing well, Kinlaw may play the more valuable position.

wco81 · Post #435 » by **wco81** » Tue Dec 6, 2022 11:15 pm

Bigger concern is what condition CMC and Deebo might be by the end of the season.

Understood. I think increasing productivity from Mason and Jennings can help manage their workload and lessen the risk. Maybe even get a few jet sweeps for Gray so Deebo doesn't have to be the only receiver who can run.

I didn't realize you could only bring eight guys back from IR. That's dumb. They should just change the rules to allow unlimited IR. These mid-level sprains and strains are so common in football, it just makes sense to manage IR and rosters that way. Having said that, the rules are the rules. I wouldn't factor Kinlaw into the decision at all. The dude just can't stay healthy, and even when he has been, he's never been an impact player. If we don't need that 53rd roster spot, fine. But I wouldn't lose any sleep about saying that Kinlaw's season is done. I'd much rather get Ridgeway back at this point.

CrimsonCrew · Post #438 » by **CrimsonCrew** » Wed Dec 7, 2022 1:59 pm

Incidentally, remember when we took Kinlaw ahead of Tristan Wirfs? Wirfs has had a fair share of injuries himself, but between those stints he's been an impact player. That was incredibly dumb.

Maybe we should be grateful they don't have another FRP to blow.

But oof, the Rams pick would be #4 in the draft and the Lions have it.

Another oof, the Broncos pick would be #3 and the Seahawks have it.

Seahawks look like frickin' geniuses for the Russell Wilson trade. Ditched a guy who it sure seems like was holding them back (I was willing to cut him some slack last year because of the injuries), and got an absolute haul of picks and players. Pretty rough that they have all those high picks even as we have none. Though their track record in the first round lately is worse than ours.
