He also watched all of training camp...so he's probably a little more objective then people in here who didn't.

hes been saying it since we got lance so this isnt some new opinion of his

I saw McGlinchey get away with a hold while Trey was scrambling, funningly enough.

Trent Williams did as well.

i would have

I know he only played a half and had a ton of rookie problems and bad passes, but he also had at least a couple WOW plays that showed his athleticism and talent, which was pretty exciting. This guy will definitely be fun to watch, after all the growing pains he will have to go through! you don't get many WOW plays with Jimmy..

Sustained drives also create more opportunities for the offense to mess up...you need every player to execute for long drives on every play and that's not gonna be the cas all the time.

SF isn't creating TOs either...they have what one on the yr?

There's got to be a thread to have explosive plays, just how the league is. I hope we can manage to have both

I agree, the team beat Seattle in just about every statistical category except scoring touchdowns. Having the ball longer and gaining more yards means nothing if you are not scoring touchdowns.

You can have a QB battle and get guys equal snaps, especially for a young QB who desperately NEEDS snaps. We have a QB who's be hurt by week 4 3 out of his 4 yrs here, now you have the greenest of the green QBs who you spent up for thrown into the league without a ton of practice reps/live reps.

It was dumb to think Jimmy was gonna play a full season...he's shown he can't. It was dumb to pay him what they did...you had fans saying Jimmy is the starting QB until he gets hurt lol. WTF is that? they knew he would get hurt and still wanted to give him $26M?

Once they gave up all those draft picks for Lance it was clear as day who the guy was gonna be...they did everything in their power to move off Jimmy all off season. Now they won't get a bag of chips for him and all those vastly important snaps from mini camp/OTAs to week 4 are wasted.

It's hard to "be ready to start" when you don't get time to play and learn too begin with.

He wasn't going to be ready to start regardless. He barely had any playing time in college and couldn't play last season. You can't have one foot in on a starting QB. It has to be all or nothing for the sake of the team. Like the old saying goes, if you have 2 starting QB's, you have none.

This roster has a lot of vets on 1 year deals. Its not a rebuilding year to let your rookie QB learn on the fly. They weren't going to plan it that way when this team is a playoff team when healthy. How is it going to go in the locker room after you signed all those vets back who are trying to win now, and you say "Just kidding, this is a QB development year. Sorry."?

Is his ceiling possibly Josh Allen maybe Justin Herbert?

Except the most important category: turnovers.

To me what separates the professional beat writers from the sarcastic fans is being able to focus your opinions based around what the team is trying to do, not what you thought they should've done. Its hard to take Biderman seriously if he's going to spend all season whining about why Garoppolo is the starter when healthy. There's enough of that online already. Some of the questions he asks at press conferences aren't much better than Grant Cohn's.

No, his ceiling is infinity. It's a hard concept to grasp, like trying to wrap your mind about the edge of the universe, but he is in fact without limit. Pay no mind to those 98 MPH fastballs thrown at receivers heels. Big play potential abounds.

This. 100% right on the money. A "voice of reason," knowledgeable football post on where Lance was coming into this season and also where this team was starting the year - before the injuries started happening.

The moon is the ceiling for Trey.

I thought Chris Biederman was smarter than this. I guess not. Still better than the Cohn's and Kurtenbach I suppose. Seems like Maiocco, Barrow and Cam Inman are about the only decent guys we have covering the team at the moment. Madden on Niners Wire is okay too but it seems like everyone else is taking their lead from all the talking head types on TV where I guess it pays to be strident and annoying while constantly trying to interject themselves into the center of the story.

I also think losing our kicker had a bigger impact than people might realize. Yes it was only 3 points but that 3 points were huge because it would have made it a 2 score lead and kept momentum on our side. Special teams was the biggest reason we lost this game.
