if we set here and say.. well we will only accept a second for nick and a third for cj... well.. we will be setting till the end of time
I haven't read all the comments but there's no way in hell either of our two backup QBs are worth a 3rd or better.
This is one of the problems I see on this forum. These threads go on so long that the original comment is often lost and the whole thing goes off in a different direction. Someone was doing a hypothetical about Nick and CJ. He realizes that neither is worth a 2nd or 3rd now. He was just saying that if either one or both came in and showed huge improvement in the pre season to the point that they looked liked viable starters, would we trade one of them for a 2nd or 3rd if another team needed a QB. He wasn't saying that would happen now. If CJ made a huge jump I could see that happening with his size and arm strength. It would have to be a huge jump and is unlikely but there are rare cases when players finally figure it out. We traded for Jimmy because we had seen enough to give up that 2nd rounder so CJ or Nick would have to improve a lot. Truth is, even Jimmy hasn't proved himself yet. Needs to show he can stay healthy and produce over a long period. If we had only seen the 7 games he has played as a Niner I doubt that we would have given up a 2nd for him. The fact that he started several games with NE and watched Brady was the reason.
Please. Nobody is saying either one is worth a high pick now. It was purely a hypothetical question like saying what if Ward stayed healthy and went to the pro bowl. Just playing what if games which is what we do when sports are slow.
