As we know, it’s the hardest position in team sports to master. You not only have to know where your teammates are on the field, you also have to know where all the defenders are. It’s 3-dimensional chess. So, in the last week, two similar stories have come on my radar. In one, the 49ers Brock Purdy is putting on weight. And in the other, the Ravens Lamar Jackson says he’s taking weight off. And I’m here to say I want both to succeed. Purdy feels he needs more armour and Jackson feels he needs more mobility. Whatever the reason, I pull for guys who recognize everything revolves around them and are trying to get better for the good of the team. Once upon a time I wasn’t a big fan of Geno Smith. Now he’s figured things out and is doing well for the Seahawks. So I hope he does well. A long time ago I wasn’t a big fan of Randall Cunningham in Philly. Then he reinvented himself in Minnesota and I was so happy for him. Damn, the position is just soooo hard. So if a guy figures it out, I root for them. I think in all my years the one guy I didn’t pull for was Jay Cutler. Miserable guy who always seemed to put himself before the team. Yuk. Thanks for indulging me…. -

Correct. It will have more to do with him putting faith in the current group and allowing them playing time. It could backfire, for sure. But, I will say some of the best managers in the business put trust in their players to succeed. -

You’ve learned nothing about Ballard. You'd rather trade picks to acquire a safety who will want to become one of the highest paid safeties in football. 1. Ballard is not trading high picks for a safety, ANY safety. 2. He’s not going to make Baker, or ANY safety one of the highest paid at his position. As for Simmons and Diggs…. I think one is 30 and the other is 31. Their PFF grades show they’re still playing at a good level. Ballard wasn’t afraid to sign Rodney McCloud and he was much older. If Ballard doesn’t sign Simmons or Diggs it won’t have anything to do with their age -

I really do like this strategy. My only concern is both Diggs and Simmons are in their 30’s. If we really wanted to nail the position down I would prefer trading for Baker and extending him. Cross and Scott behind Blackmon and Baker would be a nice backup pair of young talent pushing the veterans. -
