Niners - Chiefs

It seems to me his long ball accuracy is much betterthan Mullens'.

LOL, true. Of course that isn't saying much

 

[DurbanPoison2121]

Yes. let's see if we can at least get them on the field. We definitely need Richburg and Kittle to come back as well.

Our front 4 is SO deep, it's scary...we will have to cut someone who another team WILL pounce on. I like what I am seeing from Greenlaw so far, Warner is a stud, and Kwon will have a fast defense to settle into so it takes the pressure off of him to make every play like in TB. Our CB situation is interesting but even if Verrett doesn't play, Witherspoon showed better play by the end of last season and Reed looks like a beast as nickel back. Safeties need to stay healthy, but again, we have enough versatility to cover that spot IMO.

 

[DurbanPoison2121]

That's what I was hoping.

I REALLY like Mostert...he is great with the ball in his hands.

True. Mullens' deep ball accuracy is terrible. I don't think he's ever completed one as a pro.

I have a bad feeling Alexander will begin the season on IR. I think the 49ers are bullshitting about his progress so they won't look so bad for signing him.

Me too. He's been a pleasant surprise

Long term it may not be a bad thing for the team...the LB depth is suspect at best...we need one or more of the UDFA to step up and develop into the depth we will ultimately need.

Define "deep ball" for Mullens....for me, it's anything past 20 because that's when his balls flutter.

He's supposed to be an excellent player so I'm hopeful but the 49ers' record with signing injured players has been awful.

That is the reason why Mullens was not drafted. If he had better arm strength he would have been drafted.

40 yards plus. To me 20 to 25 is intermediate range.

It doesn't seem to be just his arm strength on long balls as he over-threw Matthews, its his inaccuracy on those throws that bothers me. The area where his arm strength bothers me is the mid range ball to the outside that seem to hang up there for a while. He seems very accurate on those though.
I'm confident though that he can do a credible job as Garoppolo's back up

He's like 24-25 coming off a torn ACL. He's a good enough player and locker room presence that even if he is a step slower, he'll still be a great anchor for our defense. I don't really care if he even plays until later in the season, all that was said about him when he left TB was that he was a born leader and the heart of their defense.

I agree. He does seem to have command of the offense. More so than Beathard. He was decisive on Saturday of where to go with the ball. Most backup QBs are going to be flawed one way or another.

Wow.

You don't see many throws go 40 yards in the air, from the entire NFL.

 

[Montalban]

See it all the time. At least twice a game.

 

[deep9er]

See it all the time. At least twice a game.

40 yards in the air? don't think so.

Hope you're not counting hail mary's.

Already saw one in the first game. Aaron Rodgers 47 yard bomb completion

 

[Montalban]

That’s two. Another 43 yard in completion by Rodgers

 

[Montalban]

And there’s a 48 yard completion by Trubisky. Called back on PI. That’s 3
