I say we trade for Darnold so we can have the two QB busts from 2018 on the roster at once.

His rookie year he beat a decent oh wait excuse me, swept a decent 49ers defense. There's a ton of QB's in their rookie year who looked like they didn't belong, Alex Smith and Jared Goff come to mind. Not everyone comes outta the gates firing, especially when that QB gets drafted to an already bad team.

I can almost guarantee you that Rosen will look much much better than Mullens or Beathard ever did with the 9ers. Sure that's such a low bar to hold Rosen to, but it much more than just a camp arm.

But it's funny you say this about Rosen I remember you thinking so highly of him. https://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/nfl/191892-how-good-josh-rosen/search=rosen

Wanna do a rundown of all the successful NFL QB's that were high draft picks and were on their fourth team in less than 4 years?

Rosen wasn't put into good circumstances but he's been bad, real bad. He shouldn't be depended on for anything other than being a camp arm.

To @nyjets fans. Anything you hear about Zach Wilson talent-trait wise....you hear about Sam Darnold.

The only reason to draft Wilson and move on from Sam is to completely re-set the financial timetable at QB.

Darnold is a more talented player skill wise

It is a good reason to move on though. Start a rebuild with a rookie deal at QB if he doesnt pan out get the real guy when you are closer to ready. in the meantime, we need a back up with potential and a 3rd round pick sounds about right.

Lol decent 49ers defense, nah dude.

Rosen's completed 40% of his passes vs SF week 3 and 57% week 6 vs SF. I don't even know if he's better than CJ at this pt.

If you can't make it to at least a backup learning from Tom Brady, you probably aren't going to make it anywhere. The guy was on their practice squad.

I'd rather they draft Jones then trade for Darnold.

I agree with you there.

I like the bleacher report suggested trade of Jimmy G plus a 5th for him. That would only be if they want Jimmy there to help transition the offense and play until a rookie was ready to start. They may not want him so just flip them the two 3rds we got for Saleh.

Right, and then he chose to sign with the 9ers to the active roster. You act like he started the season with the Bucs and then released to the practice squad and cut.

Under no circumstances would I ever replace Jimmy with Darnold. If we trade for Darnold, we bring him in to backup and learn for at least a year to get his head and confidence right. If Jimmy stays healthy, we are going to the playoffs. It would be idiotic to trade him away unless we are upgrading, which Darnold is not.
