CR91 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It wouldn't be the first time we traded a player who excelled in the preseason. Did it with Caesar. Did it with burley. As much as some of us want to see him beat out tolzien, I'd rather get a draft pick if someone offers it. The 49ers don't have really any good options at QB at the moment and perhaps could be a good trading partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKColt13 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 At this point, I think SF would have more experienced trade options than Morris for that price. Although Morris has looked good and I would rather we kept him as a #2 than Tolzein. Mark Sanchez springs to mind. Especially with him being jumped by a 7th rounder from last year.

backshoulderfade Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I like Morris as our #2. He brings another dimension with his exceptional athleticism. Could also run the wildcat to mix things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes roughly 4mil a year I think. And quite frankly SF have no other big name players to pay the money to, so they may as well kick the tyres.

TDewar1987 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Eh... I mean I see what you're getting at, but after last year, having a quality backup is pretty important (Us and Cowboys). I'm really hoping that Morris beats out Tolzein for the backup spot. He has shown a lot more in the preseason than Tolzein has, and oddly enough, the commentators love the guy too.

He's big, athletic and has arm talent but he need time to develop his mental game. Denver are already parading Sanchez in front of Dallas fishing for an offer, but I doubt that happens considering how Dak Prescott lit up preseason and Romo will be back by probably mid November. It wouldn't surprise me if Sanchez is 3rd on the depth chart in Denver and that isn't a good spot to be at the end of preseason for a QB. I can definitely see him being cut next week. That way SF can negotiate a new contract with him if they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollygagger8 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'd trade Tolzein before I traded Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard pallo Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'd try to trade Tolzien to the Cowboys for Leary or maybe the 49'ers for Davis. Long shots but I would make the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefire4 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Tolzien is the number two and it has been said multiple times so we can get that out of our minds no matter how good Morris plays. I don't think Morris is going to be worth a sixth round pick yet.. though I didn't think Burley was worth it last year. I think if we put Morris on the practice squad he will be fine.

Boiler_Colt Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If Tolzien doesn't make the team, I think we get our 7th round comp pick for Lowery back. So there's another reason to roll with Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiler_Colt Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The signing of Tolzien cancelled out a potential 7th round compensatory pick for letting Dwight Lowery sign with the Chargers. However, if Tolzien does not make the opening day roster I believe we would get that compensatory pick back provided Lowery makes the team with SD. I read this somewhere when Tolzien signed, but if im wrong please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was speculated by someone (not a member of this forum but can't remember what site he is associated with) who reportedly has a pretty good track record of predicting compensatory draft picks. It could very well wind up being true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGW4Micheal Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I like the idea of getting Morris some more playing time against some first string defenses instead of 2nd or 3rd. But, I also like the idea of having someone with a little bit of experience as our back up as well. This is a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2BeHere Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 From the sounds of it by all the comments flying around we will only keep 1 backup QB? Do we not possibly keep 3 on the roster instead of just 2 (meaning both Tol and Mor make the roster) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The 49ers would have to be willing to make this trade first...
