The first pick looked like just an inaccurately thrown ball, but the second looked brutal. Did he throw that second one off his back foot? Just not a great game I was reading up on what people thought about Darnold and came across multiple people saying his mechanics, footwork more often than not, is terrible. Watching his film last year and now this game that's all I look at and it's pretty all over the place. Even that last deep throw he had to Burnett, although he was moving around a by to buy time, never set his feet and threw off balance. I think that tends to lead to his inaccurate passes at times. It's kind of crazy to think how accurate he typically is with below average footwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenK Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Any thoughts on Francois? I know someone mentioned him before. I just don't remember if he's eligible for the draft this year. I guess a lot will be said after tonight's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a monster season, he'll declare, but I'm not convinced of that yet. I haven't watched enough to form a true opinion yet. He has big time supporters though.

He's having a pretty good game tonight! I'm looking forward to watching him throughout this year. Also, look forward to your opinion, once all is said and done.

J-ALL-DAY Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Just tuned in for this drive and Francois is looking very solid. Threw a nice deep ball and throwing with a lot of zip outside the numbers. I hate how many hits he takes though. Not like he has the biggest frame either. I'll be honest, after watching the first two games of his last year, I didn't think there was any chance he had any NFL potential. But making some NFL caliber throws/decisions so far.

J-ALL-DAY Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 You can't have a better drive than the one Francois just had. Every pass was on the money. Um, maybe he does have a NFL future after all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Francois has a great arm and his toughness is immeasurable. He's also very collected and poised as a younger player, speaking on all of last year. Speaking more on that poise the broadcasters said all of last year he never had a multiple int game and is quick to move on from mistakes. He's also pretty creative in the pocket buying time and knowing when to take off. On another note, FSU has about 3 or 4 WRs I wouldn't mind being on the Niners, Murray and Tate first and foremost.

Talking about receivers from this game, I would like Ridley! But then again, I know a lot of ppl do lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48 1/2ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yea Francois is one of my guys, not sure if he's gonna fit in for our system but I really like him as a prospect in general. Gonna have to build off that one drive, Bama is tough to repeat that success against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a huge deal, but It's pretty crazy to think Amari Cooper was declaring for the draft at around the same age as Calvin was starting school at Bama.

J-ALL-DAY Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Two consecutive passes batted down. And that is going to be a problem at the next level. Better watch some Brees/Wilson to overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 One QB who I wanted to see how he'd do this year was Jarrett Stidham. Early returns are not promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yea I love that he hangs out in the pocket and doesn't get rattled by pressure but he needs to learn how to manipulate the pocket a little and step up or to the side to give himself a better throwing lane. Speaking on Francois that is. As long as Ridley comes out this year, which I'm fairly certain he will, his age won't be an issue. I think Cooper Kupp is 24 now plenty of people and teams would love to have him on their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW21 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 @Fureys49ers Agreed on Ridley. It's obviously not ideal to have a guy that will turn 24 in his rookie season, but his talent more than makes up for that. I think it'd be a much bigger deal if he was a RB, but WRs, especially WRs of his size, have much longer shelf lives. Ronnie Harrison would be a good replacement for Reid if he left after this year and Harrison declares of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Honestly I think any of the starting 4 of Bamas secondary could help the Niners out haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
