Isaac Guerendo-RB-Louisville 2024 NFL Draft

Shanahan is holding onto these guys so he might be signaling a shift in his future offense. I think we will see Jennings depart and Lynch drafting sub 4.4 RB and WR.

Its bad to to say but when Jimmy and Trey got hurt it gifted Kyle an avenue to play Brock without any scrutiny.

again, it's more reason to replace Shanny and allow him to win the Super Bowl someplace else.. Go back to Cleveland or something..

Another ridiculous point by you. That's not how human society works, nor will it ever be. Year after year and you never get any smarter lol

Use your INTELLIGENCE and clarify why salute Shanny for NOT using the better QB on his team just because he invested 3 first rounders on the other.

Can you please explain this take? I felt dumber for reading it.

What is it with people wanting to cut the whole roster on this forum?

Guerendo showed some good things his rookie year because they was a crazy amount of injuries at RB last season. This season CMC and Robinson were both healthy so Guerendo didn't see any snaps.

He's still under contract for two more seasons with very low Cap hits of $1.25M in 2026 and $1.36M.

If Aiyuk managed to get out of the doghouse in his second season I don't see why Guerendo couldn't do the same.

The whole cut him thing is a weird power trip to me. It serves no benefit to the team. No one is losing a roster spot because Isaac Guerendo has a spot. There is the chance that he can grow. He is a high traits guys and was going to be a project.

I figured they are looking for Raheem Mostert like homeruns. Mostert wasnt always that guy. It took some years. Its worth the investment if they can get that production out of him.

Raheem played special teams for years before getting a shot....they didn't even do that with Guerendo....

I don't think there's a correlation. With that said, without special teams if he doesn't have a role as a RB, he's done :(. Hoping he can pull it together.

You have to look at the team's actions, not their public statements. You also have to consider the timing of their actions and statements.

Is it believable that Purdy looked like the best QB in 2022 training camp? Sure. You were comparing him to Trey Lance, a developmental project, and Nate Sudfeld. The idea was that Trey Lance would play and get better, not that he was a polished product.

You also had Jimmy G in limbo at the time and not an active participant in training camp. They eventually restructured his deal and inserted him as the #2 QB. They cut Sudfeld.

The story York told is believable on a technical basis only (a comparison between the active QBs in training camp, not including Jimmy G who they wanted to move and was not a participant). If they thought Brock was a starter in waiting it's highly unlikely they restructure Jimmy G's deal in the fashion they did, and put him ahead of Brock.

I don't think it's all that unlikely. Just because they saw Brock as a future starter doesn't mean they would want to start a rookie QB for a team that had playoff aspirations. They invested a lot of draft capital in Lance, who had already been in the system a couple of years, so they were running out of excuses for why they wouldn't play him.. Jimmy had helped them get to a couple of NFCCGs and a Super Bowl, so he was a good insurance policy.

I think people discounting the media optics of benching your former first round pick for a rookie Mr. Irrelevant are being a little naive. They would have been raked over the coals for it and made to look like a laughingstock. As I said before, they lucked into the way that ended working out. Brock's rise fed the media exactly the kind of story they love to cover, the scrappy underdog. By the end of that season Lance had become an afterthought, not the main story.

I think he's half way trolling and likes the attention. He always wrong in hindsight and will flex the one time he is correct like Winters will leading the team in tackles. Think he said Guerendo would lead the team in rushing? I don't know how you say that when we have CMC and Freddy Krueger ahead of those two

I think if nothing else, the Black pick and the repeated blasting of Guerendo in the media makes you wonder if there's a push to motivate him even further.

With Guerendo being a former receiver, it's curious why they haven't considered a hybrid fullback role for him either.

I brought this up last offseason. They should transition him to fullback.

Agree. I think Larry Kreuger has a lot of bad ideas, but he may have even suggested that in year 1. I think they were going for another Mostert with that speed. I'd be open to them at least trying. If they are going to make these reaches they need to do a better job of utilizing their skillsets.

You were close. RB Black is 4.46, WR Stribling is 4:36.

Dude, imagine a FB with 4.3 speed on those leak routes where Juice sneaks underneath the defense and is wide open on the backside. Or a freaking clear out route from a fullback that defenses actually have to respect. Now that would be quite the weapon!

Now imagine Issac Guerrendo as your lead blocker on run plays

I've seen him light blitzers up in pass pro in college. I think there's something there to work with. I think it's all the movement and alignment stuff that becomes very difficult to do for anyone replacing Juice. That guy has so many roles and assignments in this offense.

Speaking of FB blocking, it's always kind of annoyed me that Juice just runs into people and gets in their way rather than blasting them. Although he's very good at that, it would be nice to have a real fullback that actually moves bodies and creates lanes. That get in their way s**t doesn't work against well-coached physical team.

Very true. Juice has been very underwhelming in the run game, whether lead blocking or not, for a few years now. Issac G can easily replicate the running into people and getting in the way blocks that Juice provides.

He really would provide so much more of a threat in the pass game….a full back that can burn safeties on a wheel route or house a pass in the flats
