So, you do not know why they are doing it.

Thanks for the effort. Bye.

thanks
we are pretty much stuck with Gabbert this year due to his contract but Johnson is being kept around so that he can practice throughout the week this to me indicates that Gabbert is only here because of his contract and that he won't be back next year it seems that Johnson will be here next year and he will be in camp competing for a roster spot
From what I understand they may have to stop after the trade deadline. At that point any released player would be subject to waivers so if they cut Johnson again someone else could pick him up and the 49ers or Johnson wouldn't have a say in the transaction.

It has been interesting to watch the teams movements however. Just goes to show they are thinking about everyone on the 53 and then some. I don't know if this is a reasonably common practice around the NFL but I imagine other teams could follow.

Credit Baalke for this move. Baalke has shown some innovative moves and that includes drafting injured players and giving them an NFL "Redshirt" year.

Clearly he's thinking outside the proverbial box.

The question is which one of them will stick on the roster after the trade deadline ens their juggling act.

There's a good chance neither of 'em stick once we get our injured/suspended players on the 53. There's about to be 3-5 roster spots that need addressing once the Reinforcements arrive. Kilgore will probably clear up a spot for Marcus Martin but that still leaves Bowman, Aldon Smith, Lattimore and possibly Glenn Dorsey. If we keep Johnson/Ventrone that means we gotta cut someone else...
No way the team releases an OL or DB with the injuries we've had and I can't see Fangio being cool with cutting Dobbs or TJE. Those are really the only players (perhaps Dahl) that are legitimate considerations to be waived.

Blaine's touchdown in the Donkey game impressed me, and I think one of the guys going is Josh unfortunately. I like Josh more than Blaine, but that TD opened my eyes to Blaine maybe being a good 2nd string QB.

That plan hasn't paid off much. Lattimore and Caradine haven't seen the field. I imagine they could have drafted some healthy players.

The pressure is off Blaine. As backup QB you're expected to not lose the game as opposed to putting the team on your back and winning one.. of course if you do that it's great!
