Come on now cc...you damn well know Taylor is making the team. Kilgore was a backup center and Taylor when healthy was a 3rd down converting machine. Kilgore QBs JG night have been friends but Kilgore wasn't good at his job.

When they had Jimmy micd up during the titans game, he made it pretty clear he thought Taylor was money. Obviously last year was not the same Taylor but who cares, best man wins now. Taylor, Ricky James, Bourne and Mathews are all on the bubble as long as everyone is healthy.

I think in Taylor's case, many of us have him beating out one of "our guys" in James.

I think it comes down to Matthews or Bourne for the last spot.
Pettis, Goodwin, Deebo, Taylor, Hurd, Matthews/Bourne.
I like Richie James, I just think Taylor is gonna ball out in camp/preseason now that he's healthy and really not make it much of a decision for Lynch and Shanahan.
Originally posted by walker807:There is almost no realistic scenario, other than injury, under which Taylor is "on the bubble" he is as close to a lock to make the team as anyone. Odd men out at the moment, in no particular order, are James, Matthews, and Bourne. Personally, I would put Goodwin in that category as well. He was beat up a lot last year or out for personal reasons for several games. He keeps saying he wants to try out for the 2020 Olympics. Training for the long jump is completely different than training to play football and training for the Olympics is a full time gig under the best of circumstances. Matt Maiocco actually wrote that going into OTA's he thought Goodwin was a question mark to make the team this year but that he showed well enough during mini camp to put those concerns to rest for the time being. Training camp and pre-season will be the determining factors in who stays and who goes but since we are going into the silly season on the NFL calendar I guess people will speculate about anything to fill up the time.

Hes gotta have an edge on Bourne since hes a veteran, something we lack at WR. If Goodwin were to go down again this year, who's our veteran WR?
I see it like this
Locks:
Goodwin
Pettis
Deebo
Hurd
Roster battles:
Bourne vs Mathews
James vs Taylor
I think as of now Bourne gets cut and James gets traded for a conditional pick. I also think somebody is inevitably going to get hurt and may make the "battles" a moot point. Good news is were 8 deep so that's hopefully not as big if an issue as it was last year.
