Well, for all intents and purposes, this season was a success. Believe it or not. The main goal of giving Trey Lance a red-shirt season worked, amid the fits and starts and injuries around Jimmy G and the whole team for that matter. The 49ers were a couple plays from the Super Bowl, which is what we were supposed to be. And we knocked Dallas and Green Bay out of the playoffs. No mean feat as they were both road wins. The Ram loss was a bitter pill to swallow, but as a team, we are young, talented, and hungry. I’ll put aside my animosity toward Kyle for the time being.
Jimmy said yesterday what the team wouldn’t, in that he has played his last down in a 49er uni. He hopes he is sent “to a team interested in winning.” Which I guess leaves out Houston. My landing spot was always gonna be Denver, as they are as desperate as any team, but they all off a sudden have major issues around the Brian Flores firing, and apparent sham head coaching interviews with Denver, Miami, and the New York Giants. All done to conform to the league and the Rooney Rule.
I’m thinking the upcoming Broncos sale is part and parcel with the impending fallout from this allegation of racist practices, so maybe Denver is out as a destination as horse-face and the entire Broncos organization is shit-canned in favor of a new ownership group and front office.
But that’s a different convo. Jimmy’s destinations still include New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Miami, the Giants, or possibly even the Jets, as they may want to get Zack Wilson out of harm’s way for a season while they try to build a better team around him before he gets killed out there.
My high-water mark would be a 2 and a 4. Given all the glowing reports from all Jimmy’s teammates, and the (relative) success the team had, you would think that he would get this in a trade. And it should happen pretty quickly. The teams looking for QBs are many, and the hope is that there is a bidding war for his services. Even if it is as a mentor for another highly drafted quarterback.

Hey if we can trade Mostert and Jimmy G for draft capital, I’m all in. best-case is a 1, and a couple 2s and 3s.
Ahhhh. Mostert’s a free agent.
Mostert might now have as much value to other teams as he has to us. There was a reason he bounced around for so long. It’s the scheme we run and he just want to stay. But he gets hurt a lot now and that is troublesome.
might
Mostert was a fringe special teamer before his breakthrough with us. He’s worth a lot more to another team than us as we ain’t gonna pay him starter money when we have Mitchell. I think we let Mostert walk since Mitchell did such a good job and we have Wilson and Sermon.
Could be about Mostert. But Mitchell was getting hurt also and Sermon has been invisible. Wilson missed most of the year too. We need to find a RB that can hold up. I really don’t have a clue as to what our plan is I just hope we can keep the locker room at the same level as this year.

1yr deal on the cheap to wear a 9er uniform and groom Trey?

Hey, anything is possible.
Speaking of QBs, who should the Niners go after as a backup QB? This is from Niners Nation
This is actually a fairly decent market for backup quarterbacks, with the likes of Andy Dalton, Tyrod Taylor, Mitch Trubisky, Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota and others available.”
Seems Tyrod and Lynn are connected Irish Kevin.
I’d buy that angle for now.
More concerned about the replacement plan for McDaniel, Embryo and Hightower right now.
Joe Judge being courted by BB to return to Pats and, Bisachia went to GB.
I think Lynn might be a good pick for that if he will do it.
There is a good article in the Athletic about who the Niners should draft. It is long, Chuck let me know if you want me to copy and paste since not all everyone subscribes to this site
Let me put up a new thread and you can post it there.
Thanks
New thread is up. Post it there, Irish. Thanks
