@canefan will be interesting to see how he goes. Fascinating season coming up
He's basically auditioning for a future HC job. If he get sort out Washington that will be a major feather in his cap
Good for him, good for the franchise and the new owner if it happens
Hopefully a better name will help😀
It will be interesting if they change the name. Make a clean break with the previous owner

They need to change the name - Commanders sucks
I like Avengers. Disney would love it too 😉

It's only preseason but jeez Trey Lance looked bad for the 49ers yesterday. Don't let the stats fool you - he was poor. His TD pass was a dropped interception that ricocheted to a 49er standing 5 yards away.
I'd say the 49ers are stuck with Lance as he is relatively expensive so it's going to be very hard to trade him but at best he's looking like the 3rd QB on the depth chart.
He may yet resurrect his career in a few years on a different team if he can string some starts together (ala Geno Smith) but as a 49er he is going nowhere - he actually looks a poor fit for the Shanahan offense from a skillset point of view too - he has poor footwork and really struggles to throw on time in a timing based offense.

What a bust, they better hope that Purdy ends up being a decent starter because they gave up a bit to get Lance. The only consolation is that to date, none of the QBs picked lower than him (Fields, Jones) appear to be slam dunk long term starters. But both have potential and are already better than Trey

They traded up to get him. Real Mitch Trubisky areas.
QB economics are broken. You kind of have to take a punt and hope it just works. But yeah, looks worse and worse in hindsight

The only QB who looks like a definite keeper right now is Lawrence. The jury is still out with Fields and Jones. Oh to hop back in the Delorean, take Lance's pick and use it to buy other position players and take Purdy late

It's one thing to take a QB that busts, it's another to trade up for said bust QB. The Lance pick didn't make much sense at the time and looks even worse now.
haha, at least you're not the Texans!

So is Purdy and he is cheaper than Fields or Jones

Absolutely. I was only talking about the high draft picks. Purdy has the potential to surpass them all

but i don't like Rodgers much
huh - any particular reason?
I'm planning a Tuesday Night Football regular get together this year - a few folk to watch MNF on delay. NZ timing not bad ... but DAZN sucks balls on quality at the moment; weighing up that risk against just getting Sky Sport Now
OK, an update.
DAZN on a modern TV app is pretty good. They have really lifted their game once preseason started - probably had a single shitty server out the back somewhere to start with.
Much better than throuhg PS5 or PC.
Also allows up to two streams at once ... so eminently shareable if you know what I mean.
Wound up biting the bullet as they're the next 10 years of streaming internationally. Redzone on replay is what I want - will be hours of content each week. figured I'd report back as I put the boot in before, it was colossally terrible (including shitty helpdesk)

Trey-d Lance sent to Dallas for a 4th round pick.
A catastrophic failure of a draft pick when you factor in the trade up costing 2 extra firsts.
However - if Purdy is the real deal it won't matter.
Not Lynch and Shanahan's best work. It shows how difficult player assessment and the draft is. But I didn't think his college history sounded like a winner

i am many excited for this to start again!
I watched 3 college games last weekend as a warm up (incidentally, college football may be one of the great sporting spectacles world wide. The crowd, the bands, the open play, it's pretty cool)
