@canefan @Sneakdefreak I'd save the $ and roll with Beathard or a draft pick if Beathard isn't the guy.

Cousins is going to take a ton of $ which could be better spent on other players. Plus I don't think he leaves Washington anyway.

QBs on rookie contracts allows you more money to spend on others. This is how the Seahawks did it with Russel Wilson.

Let's wait and see what Beathard does in the next 10 games. Ideally he'll be the guy so the 49ers can focus on other areas in next years draft and even trade down for a ransom of picks to other teams desperate for a QB.

Beathard

Beat. Hard. now I can't un-see it.

[canefan]

I see the NYG won 😁

What a game between the Chiefs and the Raiders.. these two teams will be contenders for the playoffs..

[mimic]

Riaders move to 3-4, and Chiefs drop to 5-2 with back to back losses..

Lead changes everywhere, and the plays even after time expired due to penalties..

[nzzp]

@mimic and I turned off with a couple of minutes left on the clock. Couldn't see Raiders getting up.

Will have to watch the replay and not schedule thigns to do on NFL afternoons

I looked at the score online and saw the Raiders were down 30-24 with 24 seconds left and just assumed the Chiefs had the defence to win the game.

AFC West is looking to be the best division this year. Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders....even the Chargers are doing ok....

49ers getting pumped by the Cowboys. 0-7 it is.

Cardinals lose their QB Carson Palmer to a broken arm. Key players are falling like flies this season.

An upvote for you 49ers fans from a Cowboys fan.

Thanks for helping our journey to the number one pick

Awesome that Duke TV has NFL on Mondays. New England Patriots are doing well in their Superbowl rematch against Atlanta Falcons. Score is 10-0 in the second quarter.

[Sneakdefreak]

And now the fog is rolling in....

[Sneakdefreak]

Falcons disappear in the fog too, Pats win 23-7.

Wow.. Pats trade Jimmy G to the 9ers..
Thought the 9ers would've waited for the draft but they are making moves..

[KiwiMurph]

@mimic

Holy shit. Huge move. Only for a second round pick apparently (pretty sure Jimmy G was drafted in the 2nd round?).

I hope he's as good as they think

In other NFL news, I think the Texans have found their franchise QB and will make the playoffs. Also, the Steelers are looking like Superbowl contenders again.

[canefan]

I worry that buying from the Pats is like buying from the Storm; the players look better than they are because of system. Hopefully Jimmy is not another Brock Osweiler

[Sneakdefreak]

@canefan I would prefer they wait until the draft or free agency to pick their QB too.

I'm more positive on this move - I remember Garoppolo getting rave reviews in the leadup to his draft and he got drafted in the same round as Derek Carr - the Raiders franchise QB.

This isn't some knee jerk move - Kyle Shanahan's two favourite QBs from the 2014 draft were Garoppolo and Derek Carr (and as Browns Offensive Coordinator he got stuck with Johnny Manziel).

Garoppolo isn't some round 7 pick like Cassell or headcase like Ryan Mallet.

From what I have read Patriots wanted to sign Garoppolo to sign a new contract but he wanted to play (and Brady shows no sign of retiring) so the Patriots wanted to get something for him before he walked in Free Agency.
