Blair has been a good rotational guy every year of his career. He gets injured and has a setback and you suddenly want to dump him? I say keep Blair.

Because of the numbers, I don't expect Dee Ford to be outright cut. Do we have an easy out in 2022?

Hasn't Blair been hurt 3 out of 5 years?

I see that releasing Ford next year pre 6/1 gets a $14,355,000 hit post 6/1 gets a $4,785,000 in 2021 and $9,570,000 in 2022. If they release him pre 6/1 in 2022 it's a $9,750,000 hit that year and post 6/1 $4,785,000 that year and $4,785,000 in 2023. The way it looks the lesser hit is in 2022 post 6/1 release.

Blair has 27 QB hits in 47 career games. Were not letting him leave.

The question/statement still remains. He's been hurt 3 out of 5 years?

What Niner hasn't been hurt? If were going to discriminate against guys who have been hurt we won't have a team.

Besides, injuries have context. Tearing an ACL is a hazard of the job that could happen to anyone at any time. You aren't going to let Blair leave because he missed time from an ACL tear.

That's exactly the point. There are numerous guys that have a history of injury that will be free agents after this season. This team needs to move away from them. No matter what some guys can't manage to stay healthy. Blair has been available to play for 2 of 5 whole years. He's a depth/rotational piece. No need to break our heads and no need keep tying up whatever amount of cap for guys that are continually hitting the SPA instead of the field.

You can't just "move away" from players with injury history as if there are guys out there who are immune to tearing an ACL. The entire NFL is an injury riddled mess now that players are taught to dive for the knees instead of the head. Letting a talent like Blair leave because you want to find someone that hasn't been hurt as much is a ridiculous strategy. Every NFL player could tear their ACL on the next play.

Exactly every player can tear their ACL not all tear their ACL and have good to great careers. You're acting like this guy is something especial that the team needs to wait on and keep while making a millionaire out of him. Maybe he's been unlucky. 2 full years out of 5. Move on and find a lucky guy that stays on the field. Heck, use this guy's money and keep Hyder or Verrett etc.

lol @ "move on and find a lucky guy".

You cant predict who will get hurt and who wont. Its a crapshoot. Blair is a very good pass rusher. Someone else will gladly take him.

Yeah move on and get a lucky guy that has played more than just 2 full seasons the last 5 years.

Of course you can't predict anything but this is like the guy that keeps losing at cards and thinks he's just unlucky LOL! At some point that guy needs to realize that cards aren't for him. This guy has an injury history and is just a depth piece. No reason to keep fattening his bank account. Let some other team try their luck him.

We could say it was actually ford who made everyone look better. As soon as he got Injured, our D didn't look quite the same.

Sure whatever. If you feel that way then good for you. You completely missed my point though. That being that Blair is not as good as he looked last year. Again, amazing depth but not someone you should break the bank over.

rambling idiot
immature ( a lot of people said this)
needs to stay off social media
bust
headache

Maybe he'll grow up and become a good rotational guy for us.

I do take the original teams fans seriously. They'll tell it like it is once he's gone. So a lot of this is probably very true.

But that doesn't mean he can't get humbled, grow up and get some help.

And if Kaepernick were too sign to with some team you followed, which fans from this board would you take seriously?? Good Luck

Both sides. There's always truth in both.
