- 1d Stephen Holder (X) Yes. We can say Daniel Jones is playing poorly AND acknowledge they also screwed up. And for the record, none of what I’m saying has anything to do with Anthony Richardson.

But Ballard trading away Pittman and leaving him with tredwell, Keenan Allen and Josh downs is criminal .

Schefter: Josh Downs could end up being traded.
11 more updatesfrom 8 sources
- Oct 27 David Lombardi (X) This is a fair opinion and the logic behind is why I personally thought Quenton Nelson would be a good fit for SF. But the reason the 49ers don't see it that way: -They collectively have the #1 pass-blocking OL *and* the best QB at avoiding sacks in Purdy -Offense is already top-2. It's the defense that's in danger of falling out of the top-10 The 49ers see more perceived value on defense, and they ultimately got Buckner + Osa for less than Seattle paid for Quenton Nelson. This leaves SF with optionality to get even more — whether it be another DL like Khalil Mack or WR fortification (Josh Downs?) · Quoting Joseph Danna: @LombardiHimself I disagree it was the biggest need. The worst starter on the team is the LG. Not only didn’t we upgrade to the best in league when we had the chance, we let our biggest threat get him.
