Who would you want as your 49ers qb for 2018?

It's Cousins...stubborn as 'Skins owner Snyder is, I don't see him paying over $34M to franchise KS again. Shanahan wants Cousins, Cousins wants Shanahan, it's likely to happen. Coach would still have Hoyer as his primary b/u & that's a very good position to be in. I don't see any of the QB's in the 2018 draft as worthy of a top 10 pick...even though we all know somebody will draft one or two, hoping they can develop them into a legit NFL starter. Good luck with that.

I think Darnold and Rosen would be worth it but neither of those guys is a sure thing and I expect Darnold to stay in school as others have reported is likely. So say Rosen goes #1 to the Jets, who are the 49ers left with?


Josh Allen who has tons of potential but was awful against the only halfway decent opponent he faced? Lamar Jackson? Mason Rudolph? Meh.

Sell the farm and get Darnold. After he wins four SB under his rookie contract, Sign him to a 15 year contract (guaranteed) and proceed to win 15 more SB's. Boom!

Or he flops like nearly every other USC QB and we are back here talking about how many awesome QBs there will be in the 2021 draft.


But I fully expect Darnold to remain in school for at least another year so I imagine he is irrelevant to the 49ers interests.

Doesn't matter what school he went to, he's the real deal. He could have gone to Idaho for all I care lol

He could stay another year, but if he's available the 9ers should do everything possible to land him.

Cousin could get the tag again next year, so he may be irrelevant to 9er interest.

Trade Shanny for Andrew Luck. He said in one of his pressers that anyone can be traded to make the team better, including himself.

lol typical comment from a guy that doesn't want Kirk...name me a player who's going out in public saying he doesn't want to play for a team that just gave him $24 million?

You have no idea if he didn't say anything to the FO. Imo Bruce Allen was very unprofessional by throwing out to the public what they offered and basically saying he didn't negotiate.

Be professional

He could get franchise tagged but its unlikely that they will pay him $35 million when they didn't want to pay him over $24 million. Transition tag is a lot more likely and in that case the 49ers should be all over him.

Cousins come to the 49ers, Pryor follows him. 49ers draft Christian Kirk, next year they start lighting up errybody.

Have a hard time thinking the Redskins wouldn't franchise Pryor -- especially if Cousins is gone.

But yeah, pretty much.

Yup.

A $40M one-time roster bonus will get it done. And save the Niners massive cap room in future years. It's a total win for the Niners.

Get a high quality QB on a deal that is very affordable years 2 thru 5.

No offense but that is stupid. In real life, if you hate your job, do you go to your boss, tell him off and say that you will be leaving soon or do you quietly look around for something better?

It has nothing to do with being a man and everything to do with being intelligent and showing self control. Even if Cousins has zero interest in signing a deal with Washington, it is only to his benefit to maintain the illusion of such.

This. Be a man of class. It is over. Cousins will play this year with Washington. His job now is to pull his team together, not to tear it apart and force teamates to take sides with him or the team.

Next year he can and will walk. No cause for disruptive narcissistic theatrics. If I'm going to hire a man for $25+m/yr, and expect him to be my team leader, I sure don't want him to be an emotional baby.

It is unlikely but could happen, so no guarantee.

I don't think Cousins is worth the money he will command. I'd rather go draft with Rosen, if Darnold is not available, and build up other aspects of the team.

....Or wait another year if Darnold stays and win multiple SB

Do you think that's guaranteed to be a better qb option than Kirk?

Give me the guy who has already shown he can get it done at a high level in the NFL and knows the offense over the flavor of the month that historically has about a 50% chance of being a bust.

Get what done? what has he accomplished?

I'm a fan of Darnold. But most QB prospects are busts. Especially when their contributions are considered with their draft position in mind.

It is more likely the QBs you mentioned will be busts than be solid QBs -- let alone superstars.

Sure, the Niners could have a poor season (or massively trade up) and take a chance on one of those kids being the exception to the rule.

Or... they could sign a dude who has shown to be, at the very worst, a top 15 QB.

The draft is for taking chances on guys who can ONE DAY be as good or better than Cousins.

Free agency is for getting a guy who is Kirk Cousins.
