Players that need to be cut | Page 2

Tru2RedNGold25 · 2016-08-13T12:01:49-07:00

This is a list of players i believe need to be cut in order to better the team, not a prediction list C Marcus Martin: This dude has not showed any promise since he arrived 3 years ago. He got a shot at a starting gig when Kilgore went down N he never took advantage of it. I'd rather take my chances with a rookie who will come in much hungrier like Balducci. Ive seen enough of Martin to know if Kilgore goes down the O-line will suffer bcuz of his play. DT Tony Jerod- Eddie: Another player that for some reason keeps finding a way to stay on the 53 man roster he add absolutely nothing to the defense whether its run stopping or putting pressure on the QB. Ronald Blair would be an upgrade over this guy. G Brandon Thomas: Just like Marcus Martin this guy seems not fit to play this game. Both came in with high expectations N both have dissapointed in a major way this guy was suppose to be a steal when we drafted him in the 3rd round, projected late 1st round early 2nd round pick never was the same after blowing out his knee. Dude does not deserve a roster spot. T Erik Pears: We all saw how horrible this guy is last season doesnt matter what position he plays he add no value to this team whatsover. With Anthony Davis back N the selection of John Theus this guy is expendable. Not to mention he is also 34 already RB Shaun Draughn: The late FA addtion darling of the Zone. Yes he played a decent roll last year after loosing like 20 backs to injuries, BUT what i see this guy lacks is explosiveness to hit the hole on a consistant basis he is not a bruiser between the tackels type of guy. This guy seems more a pass catching back rather than a complete package back like Hyde. I really think Dujuan Harris can fill the void with that #2 spot guy can run in between the tackles outside N can pass catch as well he can do it all. There is not enough room for with this guy if Kelly wants to keep his other young bucks like Mike Davis N Kelvin Taylor. This makes him the odd man out. TE Vance McDonald: Alot of you are going to disagree saying this guy is still learning the game he is still young, yeah i get it, but in my mind we have better suited TE's to help out in the passing game as well in the running department. Both Celek N Miller can fill that void. Blake Bell is just getting his feet wet. With his 1st full season as TE under his belt i expect the kid to just get better as the season progresses. He can be that red zone target we have lacked for quite a while, back to McDonald his inconsistency to hang on to the football can really hurt the team through the year. I really dont see him being a legit starter let alone a contributor on offense unless we are going to run all day long N just forgo the passing game as a whole. WR Jerome Simpson: His past problems off the field are enough to want this guy off the roster. 2nd he has never taken full advantage of his opportunities to become a full time roster 7 years in this league N has bounced from team to team since entering the league. Yes hes had a great camp but the above reasons are enough for us to just move forward another thing he is a FA after this season is over i dont think the Niner brass wants to extend this 30 year old player with baggage. If Kelly really wants to keep the youth movement going then he has to look the other way N just cut the guy. Young Cats like Smelter, White, Cajuste, Treggs are ready to advantage of making this squad. OLB Corey Lemonier: How in the hell did i forget to add this worthless bum on this list. I guess its a big question mark like every year how in the hell does this guy continue to make the final roster. Honorable Mention WR Quinton Patton

I agree with this. And Draughn's not sexy, but they did try to bring in others before they were rejected.

Cory Lemoiner should headline this list. He's woefully ineffective.

I said not sure because Dorsey is injury prone and purcell shows promise but is still not proven. Blair is a rookie. Will take time to get him up to speed.

Also as others pointed out, Mcdonald stays because the TE position is weak and we need the depth.

And patton fasho get em out.

I actually agree with this completely. Dorsey hasn't taken one snap in the offseason and that's a problem. Extremely risky at NT/DT with this team right now. I know Armstead's injury "isn't serious" but still, we are SUPER thin on the DL right now.

Are we?

Armstead
Buckner
Dial
Purcell
TJE
Blair
Dorsey
Williams (IR)

NickSh49 how can i have forgetten that worthless bum......... I feel so ashamed leaving out the Lemonade man off this list. All i have heard this offseason from the little reports they have mentioned his name is that he is pretty much none existent.

Eric fisher took a long time to develop, at least let the young linemen finish their 4 year contract.

Eric Fisher was a 1st round pick though, but just bcuz you are a 1st round pick doesnt mean you'll get the opportunity to finish off your rookie contract. Remember this guy.

Yeah but it was clear that Jenkins couldnt hack it period, dude was tripping over his own feet and never had the heart anyways.

OL can take time to develop. Evan Mathis was absolute garbage his first few years in the NFL. Then he wound up in Atlanta and suddenly became a dominant guard. The light doesn't just always click on for guys immediately.

As bad as Martin was last year I think that he will be on the roster and get an opportunity to reach the potential that made him the top center in his draft class a few years ago.

I swear if the scouts who suggested we draft AJ Jenkins are still employed by the 49ers. . .

C Marcus Martin: He probably should be cut but lucky for him, there's no other backup C on the team.

DT Tony Jerod- Eddie: 100% agree.

G Brandon Thomas: Tougher call here. One more year. Doubt he's even active.

T Erik Pears: 100% agree. If he makes it as a backup swing T I'll be pissed.

RB Shaun Draughn: I can go either way on this one. Kelly usually keeps 4 so Hyde, Draughn, Harris and either Davis or Taylor.

TE Vance McDonald: No way we're cutting our #1 TE. Hasn't dropped a pass yet. Best blocking TE too. The real question is Will Kelly keep 4 TEs. He usually keeps three. Miller?

WR Jerome Simpson: Right now he's our 2nd or 3rd best WR and the bigger body Kelly likes opposite Smith and Ellington. The dude finally seems to have his head on straight too and can run all day...something we need in Chip's offense.

OLB Corey Lemonier: 100% agree.

Honorable Mention WR Quinton Patton 100% agree.
