Man I was pumped for this season! I think we've improved every position on the roster except for QB! Man we're going to have bad QB play this season! Gabbert will only pass to McDonald and Kap was just horrible! Neither guy can complete passes to Wrs it's going to be a long season. If I was Baalke I would be working the phones trying to pry someone's backup qb from them. Either Glennon in TB or Savage in Houston, seminar in Denver if he's not named starter! Heck I'm for picking up whichever qb they cut! And it's time to invest some high draft capital in WRs. Only one of our wrs could crack the Texans too 5 wrs. I'm at the point if our qbs are going to be this bad I would start Driskell for 16 games to at least give us some hope!

i agree McCarron has some real potential. Bengal would probably be willing to trade him for the right price. I could see them picking up Kap if we release him to backup Dalton

Watching the Browns,...he is still a mess.

yep still wouldnt take him to be a starter. A backup definitely

IMO, you go with Gabbert, keep grooming Driskel and draft a QB early in 2017. I also look at the cuts and see if there's any salvable guys there.

This is gonna be a long season regarding QB plays expect to have flashbacks of Rattay, JT O Sullivan and rookie Alex Smith. I hope we can draft someone next year. Driskell has potential but I'm not sure if he is a franchise QB.

I don't know, I am not expecting any Niner QB to catch on fire this year but there is a lot of areas the Niners need to improve on that they may actually make strides in like the o-line and developing the young defenders. No they won't make any playoffs but I think they will show some improvement, Gabbert will be fine but not great and they can pick up a new young QB next year and for once have an o-line that won't murder him within 2 games.

I remember when buttfumble was looking really good when he took over in philly, it only lasted a few weeks before melt down. Im hopeful that happens with gabbert but without the melt down part...

Aside from QBs, I'm also hoping that one of the WRs becomes a reliable target.

We've got 3 qbs who can run well and one (ponder) who is decent running.
They will need to run off great reads; it's that x factor which will keep our 3rd down % out of the fail zone.

We need 3 runners cuz they will get injured, but they have to run for this to work.

Running backs and qb passing prowess is not going to cut it.

We have a bunch of guys who I would classify as solid contribution players. They do one or two things well but are nothing special. Much like the QB position I am so tired of just having guys. I want a real number one. I want THE guy.

Our WR situation is worse. Our best WR is Smith with a huge drop after him.

This is more what concerns me.
