Scangarello is familiar with him. Looks like competition for Rosen for the third qb spot if the niners keep 3 again.

I do like, and encourage competition, but competition isn't what Rosen needs. He needs actual coaching and development. But if Rosen gets beat out by Sudfeld his career in the NFL is over.

He is a Mac Jones clone. I see this as 2 possible ways. 1. Continue the tradition of getting mediocre atheletes at the QB position. or 2. (My hope) a tremendous smokescreen before we draft an athlete with an arm. (Fields or Lance).

We finally have a real QB on the team

Kyle has a type. He's also said in the past that it doesn't benefit the the team to have different types of QB's on a roster. Kyle I think is preparing to move Jimmy before or during the draft with this signing.

Well it looks like he's the back up then??

Both are needed. I like the potential of Rosen, but he shouldn't be guaranteed a thing.

It will be him or Rosen vying for the Covid spot.

Here is a pretty interesting yet older article.

I'd rather have neither

😆 Sudfeld had some good preseason throws.

I see this more as a death knell to Josh Johnson. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/positional/quarterback/2021/full-cash/
Cut Johnson, get younger, save some cash.

Jimmy is gone. Fields will be the pick with Sudfield the backup.

This is where I'm at with it. I was a big Rosen fan during the draft process. Unfortunately he ended up in crappy situations in Arizona and Miami and played behind some shaky oline play at both destinations. This is the NFL though. Every year someone is coming for your job. Rosen should have to compete for his roster spot just like everyone else. Rosen will have to rise to the occasion or he's not going to cut it in the NFL. I'd like to see him make the team but if he can't win a third string qb competition than he probably doesn't need to be in the NFL anyways.

Nope. Were not throwing this season in the trash.

I disagree. Guys like Verrett, DJ Jones, Tartt, and K Williams returned on one year deals because they all wanted another chance to compete for a super bowl together. Good luck selling your locker room on getting rid of your veteran qb will give them that same opportunity. I think Jimmy is here for this year where the niners hope he can maximize his value and they can get a decent return on him next year.
