Maiocco's mailbag: add QB's Josh Johnson, Froman to mix...

Yetiman · 2011-05-09T17:46:08-07:00

"Q: Think Niners will go with the Kaep'n as Alex's backup or will we bring in another veteran arm? @CollectivSol My answer: The 49ers plan to take four quarterbacks to training camp. If you were to ask me which four quarterbacks the 49ers would want in camp, I'd tell you: Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Josh Johnson (somehow acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay) and Adam Froman (to be signed as an undrafted free agent once they're allowed to do so.) That is pure speculation, of course. But it seems to make sense to me. That way there could be some form of competition for each of the three spots, and the undrafted rookie would have a chance to stick on the practice squad, too." ___________________________________________________________ Interesting conjecture by Maiocco...he's got a lot of contacts within the organization and an overall feel for whats going on at 49ers HQ. I'd really like to see this happen.

That's exactly what I would like to see happen. I hope it works out like that.

If I recall correctly, that was the 3 QBs (Smith, Kaep, JJ) he's been saying since before the draft. Not a big surprise he still says it. But JJ is determined by TB and how much they'd take for him. I still wouldn't go higher then a 5th Rd. pick. And why give up much for him? He's slated to be a FA after next season I believe.

harbaugh never talked about JJ it was all just media hype and speculation because they worked together before

I agree. When I said "he" I was referring to Maiocco. He's been saying the same thing over and over. I agree they're just grasping at pure speculation. Just because of the connection element. I'm not a big fan of MM though. I prefer Barrows or Branch. MM has gone downhill since he made his move to CSN or whatever its called.
