Jerick 'Jet' McKinnon is a Chief.

That's too much money for this guy. What is this? There is no production level to say he is worth that much money. He doesn't have enough numbers to be worth that contract. I don't get this one. He's a fast RB. But the production just is not there.

when he got atleast 10 carries a game he avg 84 yards from scrimmage a game...that's not too shabby. I'd think that will improve in a kyle shanahan offense with JImmy G at the helm.

He's a mismatch guy...think Alvin Kamara

He's actually a very good and willing blocker. As a 3rd down back he's terrific but I don't see him as a feature back which is what he is being paid as.

Very nice!

McKinnon is a very good third-down, pass-catching and change of pace back. What he is not is a guy who can run inside and break tackles. In other words, he's not a feature back who can handle 300 carries in a season. I hope for the sake of McKinnon and the 49ers that the latter has figured that out.

4th highest paid back in football, a guy who can't handle a full workload.

I wonder if this precludes them from grabbing another RB. They've got 4 young guys on the roster now. McKinnon has the bag, Breida is going nowhere, and potato head Williams will likely get a shot. They've also got Jeremy McNichols.

This signing doesn't make sense to me. Does he have some secret knowledge on McKinnon? That type of RB could easily be had in the draft or possibly from TC roster cuts.

Roster cuts?

Lol. No

Joecool. Thank you for believe in me what I am saying it. We need looking for Stud Rush then sign LeGarrette Blount is cheap $$ than McKinnon.

They've got pretty much no one who can run inside or is good at picking up yards after contact at this point so I'd think its a an absolute necessity to draft someone who can handle inside zone, short yardage....etc.


I don't want to see a single one of these guys in a goalline situation.
