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

I'm still salty those two wins in 2016 were against us

With Stafford, the 49ers would be prohibited super bowl favorites.

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.

I also don't see them being patient at all. I know they've been hit hard by the injury bug but Shanahan has had one winning season in four. Those are facts. Reasons be damned. If I'm him I would not feel super secure waiting another couple years while your rivals continue to dominate the division.

A couple of things.
I thought Shanny traded with New England for "his QB"?
Better take another look at that roster >>>>>>>>>>> they have quite a number of free agents and nowhere near the cap space to sign 25% of them. Right now, they're half a roster.

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.

The issue won’t be this years salary which is like $10.5M, but any roster guarantees based on being on the roster as well as vesting. If Watson does a “staycation” and vests, then next year they’ll have to pay him like $35M with a cap hit in the 40s. THAT will hurt like nobody’s business and that would be the argument... to prevent the vest.

It’s looking like Carolina may be able to figure it out since their version of Littlefinger is in with Nick Caserio, but we’ll see. I expect the Texans to take every opportunity to look like ass before any transaction.

They can’t help themselves.

Still makes me happy that the 9ers are scrambling because we got Stafford and they didn't.

I think you're right, Shanny was there when JG arrived. That hasn't worked out though. Maybe he'd like to scout and draft one this time.

That's true (i read your other post on all their UFA's), nonetheless it's not like they need a full rebuild because they're talent-depleted. That was my point.

I'll go with FAIL UTTERLY?

Uh Hello!

I think they sit tight with Gpolo and draft a QB at 11, unless.....
The unthinkable happens and a Watson trade happens

I’m thinking the same exact... maybe even a small trade up but see them going QB of the future there.
