Lance is not a run first QB. Lance has good pocket presence, has a high football IQ, and will go through his progressions. That is why Shanahan drafted him. Shanahan would never draft a run first QB, no one like Lamar Jackson. His issue coming out of college is his accuracy and lack of...
Kaepernick had a brutal 2015. Kaep was injured and benched for Gabbert and then Gabbert was benched for Kaepernick in 2016. Gabbert has always been fool's gold. Gabbert did what he always does. He came in and looked decent for a couple of games. He sucks fans into thinking there could be...
I am in the Central Valley. I am in the Giants home area but I went to the MLB site and put in my zip code. I am blacked out for both the SF Giants and Oakland As
Still lurking. Post a little on the 49ers board. Been following the Giants loosely but can't watch the games. Dish Network dropped the channel and we can't watch the games. My son loves the Giants and has to listen to them on the radio.
He is a good kid. He is talented but lacks confidence. When he was on the 49ers there were stretches where he looked like a pro bowler. Then he would have a bad game or series and go into the toilet. He started one season looking great and then got hurt. After coming back he struggled a bit and...
Probably did not see bootlegs, rollouts, and fake runs because it is preseason. I don't think Shanahan wants to tip his hand yet on what he might do with Lance this season. I would also argue that Lance probably already executes those types of plays well. He needs the work playing from the...
You could look at his college scouting report and some of that would show. Generally, I think he has got great physical skills and upside. He did have some accuracy issues at times in college but overall great traits. His lack of experience is going to show when trying to play from the pocket...
If Lance is not starting day one, I don't expect there will be a change midseason as long as the team is winning and it super bowl contention. It might be different if this team was going nowhere this year but changing QBs midseason for an unknown poses it is own set of risks for a team where...
My first point is I trust shanahan to make that call of who starts and I will support whatever he decides.
Lance had the least experience of any of the first round QBs taken. That was has been reported almost anywhere you look. Hasn't played in over a year and was only 20 years old when...
No doubt he has great physical traits. He has a great arm. That is why the 49ers drafted him and I think right now those are things that are making him shine while the things that are listed as his weaknesses that may hold him back won't be as evident in no pad scrimmages.
As far as Garopollo goes, his salary is already accounted for this year. Behind Jimmy G is Rosen and Studfield. There are a number of people out there that think the 49ers should get rid of Jimmy G and just start Lance right away. Putting the season on a 20 year old rookie who was the least...
The hype is unbelievable. I am pulling for Lance and there are alot of things to like but he hasn't even faced a real defense yet and I don't think he has even played in pads yet. It is good to get positive reports but it is just training camp. The NFL has been filled with training camp wonders...

It could very well be a bust. If you look at the list of high first round draft picks, the bust rate is pretty high. I don't see any of the mostly like three as sure fire picks. hoping for Wilson to drop but that is most likely not going to happen. I see Lance as the biggest risk and bust...
I read the good parts also. Their listed good qualities are mostly physical. The types of passes they are able to throw and stuff like that. The negatives for Lance and Fields effect their ability to play well from the pocket. Not surprising given their lack of experience. Trick is figuring out...
If you read the weaknesses under Lance's scouting report and didn't know who the report was for you would think it was Kaepernick's scouting report. He is young and inexperienced. A big risk at #3. Fields has issues also but so does Mac Jones. So really who is left unless Wilson falls to #3?
