Stay out of my territory.
Training camp is open!
Time for some early reports.

I like Grant when he sticks to the pure analytics... off-season Grant with his Twitter click-bait I can do without. For the umteenth year in a row, the team has questions at QB, lol. Hoping that Purdy picks up where he left off, in all honesty. While I'd love it if Lance shows he's capable of hitting his proposed ceiling, under Purdy the offense looked closer to the late-season 2017 niners than any time since then. It's (almost) football season people!!
The good news is "questions at QB" allow more big ticket signings elsewhere. This is one of the reasons the 49ers can retain so many top players, and the TEAM is solid. Granted, this situation changes a lot next season when the 49ers cap situation will require TOUGH decisions.I like Grant when he sticks to the pure analytics... off-season Grant with his Twitter click-bait I can do without.

I would think too, yes i'm biased but the main reason is.......no VERY good QB that can carry his team past the 49ers or Eagles. Thats what would need to happen since both the 49er and Eagle TEAMS are talented.i expect it to come down to the niners and eagles again in the nfc.
There is a segment of Niner fans that think he will.do 49er fans think that trey lawrence will end up being traded?
I felt from the day they signed him, Darnold wasn't a good move. I felt they should've signed someone like Brandon Allen and add a rookie QB. So now they either cut Allen or trade Darnold, they aren't going to trade Lance.The 2 QBs aren't really separating from each other. In terms of Lance and Purdy, it looks like Purdy can hit all the layups, the short throws with great anticipation and we saw all last season that he can hit the intermediate throws well too. Lance, OTOH, has a better intermediate and deep throw, but he still struggles in the short throws.
Some guys having a good TC so far:
B. Aiyuk
TDP
S. Womack
T. Chartlon
C. McKivitz and D.Jackson have been up and down.
2 Guy having a poor camp so far:
B.Allen - isn't getting much in the way of reps
S.Darnold - can't separate himself in the QB competition where Purdy and Lance are the clear 1 and 2 options
C.Ferrell - has been thoroughly outplayed by Charlton.
Yea, no way we trade Lance. At least not until after the season. I could see it happening if Purdy is healthy and effective all season, but certainly not now.I felt from the day they signed him, Darnold wasn't a good move.

I agree with O-line depth and at OT in particular. It seems like we don't have a decent swing tackle?Yea, no way we trade Lance. At least not until after the season. I could see it happening if Purdy is healthy and effective all season, but certainly not now.
Looking like Darnold will either get traded or cut. He's here b/c Kyle was high on him when he was drafted. Sure looks like a mistake.
I'm surprised the Edge T.Charlton has outplayed C.Ferrell so thoroughly. Charlton showed more in his first few days than Ferrell has the whole time.
From the camp reports, the OLine depth looks shaky.
