Weston Richburg (retired)

I disagree, nearly nobody wanted him starting and the only reason people were ok with his last signing was that the contract proved he was unlikely in their long term plans. It was a backup lineman type contract which was one of the reasons the Dolphins were willing to trade for him rather than wait for us to release him.

Daniel Kilgore signed a three year, $11.75 million contract with the 49ers on February 14, 2018. Kilgore received $7.05 million in guarantees, $4.8 million of which is guaranteed at signing.

Some quotes from the Kilgore thread:

"Great signing.

He is a team leader and Lynch and the coaches found that out right away.

He was also the 7th best center with Jimmy under center. I see no reason to replace him. Something clicked with those two and they had chemistry which is vital in football.

We have much bigger needs than trying to replace Daniel Kilgore."

"When Staley describes you as the captain of the OL and when you can make all the protection calls and have the support of the FQB, it becomes a smart signing given its supposedly a team friendly deal."

"If the GM and Coach are OK with Kilgore so am I."

"Bottom line people don't realize this is the first Jimmy garappolo move. Jimmy said he had a good rapport with Kilgore and the front office didn't want to f#$k that up.lets hope with better guards we won't notice Kilgores sub par play. Hell maybe Kilgore will rise to the occasion."

"Dude, Kyle and Shanny hasn't earned your trust by now? I think they know what they are doing, that they know more about Kilgore, and that they've seen tape on him that we don't have to make the informed decision to extend him. Given his complicated scheme I'm pretty sure Shanny signed off on this; and if he did then I'm good."

Outside of Jimmy G, the key to the season.

Well then, I stand corrected. Those are ringing endorsements indeed....

I read that as we had NO center, late in the game(not literally), and we had to have somebody to snap the ball.

So they signed him. Richburg came available and they wanted an upgrade. So they traded Kilgore and signed Richburg. It was supposed to be a move up. The nagging injury lasted all yr.

As to testamonials, Kilgore was well liked and a good guy. But he routinely ended up getting knocked backwards into his qB and frequently had DTs go by him so fast you couldn't even see their number. And it didn't happen rarely. It happened often.

One thing that was nice about Kilgore was when he fanned on a DT, he always went back and helped JG up. Watch any film with him in it and you will see that. So good guy, well liked, but insufficient as a blocker.

Hence , we traded up. If he was as good as some think, there is no way we trade a starting center. I believe he was signed because we couldn't go into a season with no C. And when a better C came up we took him and traded Kilgore and his contract. My lying eyes told me he was a very large liability at blocking. It appears JL and kyle thot the same.

I think another reason the signed Kilgore was because they thought they could move him to RG. He was having no part of that, so they moved him.

Richburg without question is an upgrade...when healthy he's a damn good PP (watched him for yrs in Ny) my biggest issue was injuries and his run-blocking, which was actually pretty good last yr.

He's gonna be a big factor this yr when it comes to pass-pro....he's gotta show up and show the fans why he got paid the big bucks!

Even injured, Richburg was an upgrade to Kilgore. Kilgore also ended up missing most of 2018 with his own, more serious injury.

Any update on Richburgs injury and or healing?

Richburg is a main piece of the o, how he goes is a major factor how the offense in general flows. Need this guy healthy and to be the player Kyle saw in NY

Will start on the PUP list.

HOPES he'll be ready by Week 1. So Richburg will miss ALL of training camp.

This is a big deal people.

Not necessarily.

A player who, as a result of football-related injuries, is unable to take part in training camp practices may be assigned to the preseason PUP list. Players can be moved off the PUP list to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player cannot be placed on the PUP list, however, once he has taken the field for a practice, even if only for a few minutes

They can bring him up at any time. But once he hit the practice field, they can't put him back on the PUP list. Or until the regular season PUP list. Hope not that.

This reaks of the BS we pulled with wideouts in 2017. Is Sullivan still available? Dillion is a camp body.

but but we need depth. lol... some people act like we have this amazing starting talent and just need depth.. this is just ridiculous lynch
