I hope it's Good bye Damon Huard, hello Nate Davis

lock isn't imminent or anything

I agree. I know keeping Nate Davis is a bit of a risk, but the off chance he actually plays is slim. (If the number three guy gets game time in regular season that would mean that unfortunately disaster has struck again. KNOCK ON WOOD!) But the risk of him going to the practice squad and getting picked off by another intrigued team is more of a risk. Nate Davis has potential if brought up PROPERLY. Damon Huard has hit a plateau. Since the organization is taking risks, I see Nate Davis getting the contract if his agent is worth anything. Let us see both of them live in preseason first though.

I wouldn't mind keeping them both, I'd rather have Davis than Huard on the roster though.

Because if we keep all 4, then Huard gives us experience and a mentor type (ie Trent Dilfer) and Davis is a possible who knows what could happen lots of potential type guy. If we keep just Davis than Davis like I said is that futuristic/potential guy, and if we put Davis on the PS some other team will snatch him up.

I hate the adjective mentor in connection with any player. Montoring is the coaching staffs job, not the players, the players can only lead by example, not coach. In the case of Huard, he is a 11 yr vet, that never played a whole lot. Shaun Hill is now an 8 yr vet that hasn't played a whole lot, not much difference in my opinion

And that is why I'd rather have Davis than Huard, along with Huard has no long-term appeal.

If i'm not mistaken, his salary means nothing. If the 49ers released him they would only have to pay him the signing bonus, which isn't much.

Another player that everyone is getting all horny for, who was a 5th round pick, and has yet to see so much as an exhibition game......
