LaMichael James was a Niner (CUT!)

While I would hate to see him go, it makes sense especially with Lattimore healthy and ready to contribute.

They should only trade him if they are actually going to get something valuable in return. I doubt he's worth anything at this point though so I wouldn't get rid of him right now. I'd at least go into the preseason with him. Let him compete with other guys and possibly increase his value with some good performances. Then if he still hasn't done anything or if he's still being a b***h and complaining, part ways. I would just hold out a little longer and try to get more in return at least.


Really the problem has been the lack of opportunity and creativity provided by Roman. James could be a solid utility player. I know he's frustrated, but at the same time you have to keep your mouth shut publicly and you can't be going and complaining on Twitter like a selfish little baby.

You would have to look for a 2nd or 3rd or 4th read for that.....

or just bring back alex smith. RB"s are always his 1st read.

THIS

This is not new

Last time LMJ got out in space, he fumbled the ball in the SB.

DVR'd the SB..and finally watched it last week. it was the first time i watched the broadcast. (at the Game).

While watching with a sane viewing approach, We had a lot of momentum right before that LMJ Fumble and i believe that was the spark to the gasoline fire.

Fk LMJ !

I would hate to lose him , he still has potential to tap, and can be a dynamic playmaker for a more wide open offense ...IF we are to trade him , I would want at least a 3rd round pick in return , and use that pick in a package to move up and grab an OLB that could contribute from day one ...

No freaking way we get a third rounder for LMJ!

a third?

Looking back at that 2012 NFL draft makes me want to puke. It wasn't just bad...it was epically f**king bad. If we trade LMJ for a box of crayons and a 7th, we only have Joe Looney and Fleming (who unfortunately can't stay healthy) on our team from that draft class. I still remember saying wtf when Jenkins came off the board...hoping that Baalke and Harbaugh were asleep at the wheel that year and they don't make the same mistakes.

When teams know that a marginal player is on the trade block, they swim like sharks seeing blood, waiting for the release. Can't expect more than a 6th or 7th rounder at best. Probably a 50% they get nothing and simply release him,

james is a perfect example of a player way over rated and over valued by the fan base. we are lucky to get a 5th, most likely a 6th. sounds like other guys are ahead of him and i do no trust him to return a punt so I am ok to ship him out. I would just like to know how they plan to fill the kickoff and punt return opening. i am so tired of his tweets, I am also tired of people saying he is the son of darrin sproles and how we should get some high draft choice for him.. a third for james is laughable

I just never did understand that EPIC 2012 Draft? Jenkins was never a fit?? LMJ was never a fit (especially considering they drafted kendall Hunter the year before). The only pick that made any sense was the Looney pick and even he may not stick?? I bet that's where a lot of the Harbaugh/Balk disconnect is, due to the 2012 Draft disaster.

we got lucky we had a good draft before that year and a decent one last year, drafts like 2012 can destroy a franchise and set them back years
