When Random Jibberish is riding in a time machine way far into the future...

Coincidentally, I dropped by that store recently for card sleeves before a recent game. (Gave a Cade Cowell Arteaga’s card to his grandmother.) The card store by the Shark Tank is no more.

 

It may be 14 years since I last jibberished randomly.
(Saw the thread and couldn't resist.)

Niners are wearing their throwback 1994 iuniforms....

Why are the Niners using rotating QB's?

I don't think I've ever seen that in the NFL since Bill Walsh did it by putting in Joe Montana to replace Steve DeBerg it in 1980.

At that time, the reason then if I recall was because he was grooming Joe so he could start.

In today’s NFL though, the defenses are way too sophisticated and will probably end up figuring it out.

 

The Niners used Kaepernick as gadget QB when he was a rookie and Alex Smith the starter, circa 2011-12, before Kaepernick displaced Smith mid-2012.

 

Other than the run to the run to the Super Bowl where they lost, that whole Kaepernick scenario didn’t end so well.

Neither for the team or the player.

With all the injuries, is there any chance the team will bring back Frank Gore?

 

Calm down, Falvo. I think Lance took two or three snaps - which hardly qualifies as "rotating QBs". The first appearance was a designed bootleg that worked very well, after Garoppolo had failed on two passing attempts. The second I recall was a pass for minimal yardage.

 

But they have already used in 2 out of the last 3 games which suggests there is more to come.

 

But in both cases, it was a limited role for Lance - basically a guest star in very specific situations. Given that Jimmy G. has shown a really poor sense of body awareness (i.e. where he is in relation to rushing defenders) and is not reliable running the ball, I anticipate that (as long as the 49ers continue to have a winning record) we will likely only see Lance in those situations were having a QB better at thinking on his feet is necessary (e.g. third and three in critical circumstances like last night at the end of the first half).

I really can't fault Shanahan for using all the tools in his kit. If he hadn't subbed in Lance for that ONE PLAY at the end of the first half, the score at halftime would have been a discouraging 17-0. It was smart coaching.

BYW - my daughter calls Jimmy G "a beautiful idiot"...

 

Trey Lance was drafted third overall, which also suggests there is more to come.

 

She's probably right on the "beautiful" part but I don't think he quite qualifies as an "idiot"! That's a little harsh. I see him as kinda like a B+ QB. Good enough to win a Super Bowl? Yeah, probably. He came really close. But not good enough to kind of "lead" a team to one the way Aaron Rodgers has.

 

He lacks speed. Tommy Thompson disease.
