Not a big loss but I would have preferred to develop him for another year and then see what happens. 1 year is to soon to give up on him imo. I can see him being decent(better than we have had since Jeff Garcia) and its not like we have a stacked QB corp that has no room for a Nate Davis.

Unlike Alex, I don't see Carr getting better with age (like Rich Gannon) so yeah I agree.

Maybe not Manning, but possibly the next Aaron Rogers....

Not hardly, Rodgers has more smarts than Davis, and more discipline it seems.

Not hardly? That's like one of them double negatives or something

Hey, cut him some slack. He's from Memphis..

Just kidding. Memph is one of the smarter posters around here.

BTW, I was just kidding in regard to the Rogers comment. However, my point was just because we cut him (or didn't choose him, aka Rogers) doesn't mean that everyone who thinks he sucks was right.

That's BS. Top picks have more money invested in them, that's all. How many years did Jim Drunken-miller get?!

at least Carr can literally call the play in the huddle:

The quarterback, 49ers second-year pro Nate Davis, has dyslexia and often works for close to 45 minutes at night with housemate and Niners wide receiver Dominique Zeigler to master the system. Davis' learning disability often causes him to mix up basics like left and right - not a good thing in the football world when sets and blocking patterns depend on directions.

He has a tough time "getting the play out" and actually executing a given call.

"I know what I'm doing out there. It's just saying the play, that's my main problem, getting the words out," Davis said. "I made big progress from last year. I've just got to keep on working."

I have my doubts on another team dropping one of their 53 for a project QB to sit the next two years.

I think he'll be on our p-squad this coming year...but I could be wrong

Misleading title, he hasn't been claimed yet. Whitlock is a huge Davis homer that pretty much clued everyone in on his poor work ethic in a way that I found in poor taste honestly.

It was obvious his aim was to motivate him. But it seemed odd to do it through a Fox Sports article.

There is the possibility of a coach being out there who is familiar with dyslexia and helping players overcome it in terms of learning a system.
