What are the 49’ers going to do at QB?

[dieterbrock]

mayhaps trade a few picks to Detroit for Goff?

That would hurt.
My god let's hope this doesnt happen

Agreed. He'd be on cloud nine playing for SF and wearing #16.

Objectively though, i think he'd struggle playing vs defenses in the NFCW who have already established multiple ways to attack his strengths and weaknesses...except for Arizona of course, lol.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Doubt Goff is going to the Whiners but if he did, I'd hope for Donald to utterly and completely break his ass in many pieces while Ramsey takes one to the house. Fuck the Whiners, their punk ass coach, their fucktard GM, and their dumbass fans. I hope whatever route they take leads to failure. Oh I forgot to mention.....fuck em!

Pretty sure they retired #16

Goff was the winner agin Zona and Seattle, which other NFCW franchises are you referring ?

and for what it's worth, SF could then dump Garoppolo back to NE for the hat trick

 

[Mojo Ram]

The Rams namely. AD could set the NFL record for strip sacks vs Goff.

He looked like stale bread vs Seattle this year in 3 games. I feel like it's been awhile since Goff lit them up with his arm.

Cardinals D has played well vs the Niners and they get Chandler Jones back.

I believe Goff would get destroyed in the NFCW without McVay. I think he'll have a chance in the NFCN.

I think the Niners window of opportunity will be open longer than the Rams.

Shanny has one winning season and has had ample draft picks, a pretty good O-line, stout defense.... You have to OPEN the window more than that. Nevermind it staying open.

 

[CGI_Ram]

The best case scenario for the Niners and worst fort the NFC is that they land Watson. But they’d have to pay a hefty price and have an instant mega contract. Minus the cap implications and it would be huge. But that cannot be ignored.

My guess is they try to draft one, andsee if JG can stay healthy all year, then start the young guy next season. I think the Niners window of opportunity will be open longer than the Rams.

This sums up my thoughts.

They would look at it two ways. They know that the Rams upgraded at QB and are in a "short" window to dominate the division so they either try to match that with a quick fix at QB(trade for Watson, Cousins etc) or look to open their window in a couple few years by drafting a QB now.

I don't see them being super patient due to the rivalry, although it's not like they have an aging roster so maybe they do reload a bit. Shanny drafts his QB and they build to get their already talented roster ready to dominate in a few years when the Rams will have to reload at QB and Wilson is on the downside.

Interesting way to look at it, that window when both LA and SEA need a younger QB in pipe.

 

[Rams43]

It would be a mistake to underestimate Shanny’s ability to get the absolute most out of ANY QB that 49ers might bring in.

He’s made a grudging admirer outta me on that score.

Yeah i'm not buying this window stuff with the Rams. They've established a winning culture now, meaning it's always good, rarely shit and have a chance to win it all in any given year.

Steelers. Packers. Patriots. Seahawks. Chiefs. Ravens etc. These teams don't use windows. They establish owner & front office personnel. Find quality head coaches and embed a system and a culture that allows them to rarely bottom out and always be relevant.

I could be wrong but i'm pretty confident that's where the Rams are now. The 2019 season was a "disaster" with injuries, player regression, scheme regression(?) etc yet we went 9-7 and barely missed the playoffs.

Fuck the 49’ers... who cares... this should be Rams Talk... Yada yada.
and f Ugly Gronk, Jimmy G string and Bozo.

There are some front-office guys around still from the O'Brien era, but there was no doubt he was calling the shots during those train-wreck moves.

The new GM, Nick Caserio, has a solid reputation and has the job security to play the long game in Houston. I don't see them panic selling Watson. In fact, if I was Watson's agent I'd be a bit panicked right now. The Texans seem ready to dig in for the offer they want, with little incentive to bargain.

I think you're right.

This has the Trent Williams/WFT stink all over it.

I trust that Watson will never play a down for them.

I do. I think James Harden set the precedent.

Watson will look like ass, refuse to participate in drills and then report injuries that linger for most of the season.

All he has to do is just be disruptive and take constant shots at ownership on Twitter.

It's possible that he just holds out because he's not a guy that can avoid giving 100%, but he could also report and then turn it into a medical dispute.

But yeah, either way, the Texans seem to think they've got Watson boxed in and really think that by alienating their young, superstar QB that they can just paper over it and the sports world doesn't work like that. You've got late millennials who operate under a different set of rules now.

God help the owners when Zoomers start entering the league. You think old people don't give a fuck? Zoomers put "don't give a fuck" on crackers as an hors d'oeuvre as if it were spray cheese.

Yet another reason I love McVay and Snead. They get it. We have the leadership in place to manage this transition better than any team in the league imho.

But back to OP, Watson's situation looks like it will drag out.

I'd be shocked if the Texans made a deal before the draft. More than surprised, but less than gobsmacked... and I still think they hold out for a Herschel Walker level trade.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

You don't though no he has a very good roster? They were in the Super Bowl in 2019. If not for injuries they would have likely been vying for the division lead. Plus they are younger at key positions than the Rams. For instance QB, WR, OLT, QB, DL, edge. But I believe they need an upgrade from what they have at QB that can also stay healthy.

 

[Mackeyser]

How can anyone believe they trust JG to stay healthy?

We know they wanted Stafford.
As far as Wentz, maybe they felt they couldn't trust him to stay healthy either. So why go after him?

It wouldn't surprise me if they made a move up in the draft for a QB.
Then they will cross their fingers that JG could stay healthy long enough, for them to get a rookie ready to play.

The fact that the 9ers weren't seriously in the running for Stafford (the report was 2 2nds and 2 3rds which they denied) due to not being willing to part with a first only cements the notion that Lynch is a builder who really values those 1sts. And he's done well with them, so why not.

I really don't think they pull a mega deal for Watson and if they do, they'll be in the same boat as Houston was with a solid O and no D

 

[CGI_Ram]

SF Fans seem to want Trey Lance, and while he is ranked all over the place, fits SF nicely with JG there if they want to give Lance some development time.

Not sure how I feel about this. I kind of see the appeal of Lance, and he should be in play around #10-12 where SF picks.

I think the only opportunity for a "Herschel Walker" trade is in fact trading prior to the draft. With the Qb's available and the hole they will create with the trade, they've got to be able to bring in a replacement for this season.
We have 2 whole months to go before the draft, its almost an eternity. Consider that the Superbowl was just 3 weeks ago, and the Stafford trade 4 weeks ago, yet both events seem sooooo long ago.
If the Jets and Dolphins both go all in for him, it could make for a crazy haul.
But good grief if it goes past the draft and he isnt traded? No way they'll get the value, future picks just dont cut it and the cap hits involved with players in trades make multiple player trades difficult.
Like everything else, I believe the damn breaks post March 17th, with the official cap number solidified

  TEDDY BRIDGEWATERQB, CAROLINA PANTHERS
  
  The 49ers have reached out to the Panthers about a potential trade for Teddy Bridgewater.
  The Niners' interest in Bridgewater doesn't necessarily mean they're keen on replacing Jimmy Garoppolo as the team's starter. 49ers general manager John Lynch has said the team needs to upgrade its backup QBs as to avoid a lost season if or when the oft-injured Jimmy G is sidelined. Carolina is among the leaders in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, making Bridgewater expendable if a team has a solid offer for the veteran. There's almost no chance Bridgewater starts for Carolina in 2021.

Yeah. Unless he wants to lose a LOT of money, he has two options: Be an ass, or fake an injury.

With so much money on the line, I could see the Texans getting ugly in return with lots of doctors and lawyers involved. The amount of money on the line dwarfs what Ramsey managed to get from Jacksonville by faking his back injury. I think I've seen estimates of 20 million in the first year alone.
