Game Thread: Week 1 Preseason Thread

[Fountain City Blues]

49ers signed him off the streets last year..he has been a solid player and really impressed me last year filling in for Hyde

I liked him out here too. He kind of got lost in the roster upheaval post 2012.

If Osweiler doesn't feel pressure better this year, I give it 8 weeks before Savage gets at least one spot start.

It's one preseason game. Geez you should worry about that average Alex Smith. The Denver Broncos the defending Super Bowl Champs. Peace.

Nope- saw a half season of a QB that was a dear in headlights when it came to sensing pressure. I just don't talk Osweiler 24/7 on the Hoop just like I don't nitpick Alex's averageness 24/7. But if we want to talk about QB's, just what on Earth do you think Sanchez is? Osweiler's sack rate was around 10% which is an impressively awful number for any QB regardless of the O-line. Can't sense the pressure.

No surprise so far that Shane Lechlar is the Texans' offensive MVP.

49ers commentators are excited about 300 yards of offense in this half.....but won't mention the 10 points which is awful for a 300+ yard offensive half

If Kelly fails in SF......does he go to 3rd NFL team or back to college?

He's a great punter.

Yeah.....the defending SB champ Broncos fielding The Sanchize as their starting QB.

Andrew Walter was awful sensing pressure as well. God, those were dark days.....

 

[RobToxin]

He's a great punter.

40 years old and might still be the best in the league.

As far as Osweiler goes ....

remember, the last two seasons the Texans have had Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, etc at quarterback and still managed to put together back-to-back 9-7 seasons.

Way too early to push the panic button on the Osweiler as QB experiment, all things taken into consideration.

So Kelly's 80 play offense is in mid season form?

Not at all. But, the critics and criticism will always be there as he's under the microscope after signing an obscene contract for somebody that has started less than 10 games.

Remember the outrage when Eli and Flacco signed their huge deals? But at least they had proven themselves more than Osweiler.

I was a little upset when we let him walk but we had more pressing concerns at the time.

 

[DJ]

Savage is playing pretty well.

 

[Manster7588]

Savage is playing pretty well.

Yes, showing poise and a nice arm.

 

[DJ]

They could have signed a veteran backup and just gone with Savage as the starter......rather than paying Osweiler 72 million.

Looks that way right now, but it's only preseason besides hindsight is 20/20

 

[RobToxin]

Yeah take that 49ers!

The players we are going to cut are better than the players you are going to cut.
