    I totally agree they should just dump Hogan as a waste of space and get another QB. SF is going to have to release a backup QB so they could pick one up from there, but they're not going to do that.

    So, best thing that can happen? Place Lock on the IR for 6 weeks, and when he comes back dump Hogan.

    Meanwhile they put Rypien on practice squad freeing up a roster spot for another TE or ILB or LT which they really need given the pitiful depth on this roster.

    You see that total lack of depth on special teams which have been totally ter-bysmal. It's just not a sign of great things to come this season when Fangio already has to consider using starters on special teams just so they won't totally suck, which he's admitted considering doing.

    Just sit him down. The plan was Flacco, this doesn’t change anything. I forget the IR rule now, but if you have to designate him for return, do that in case Flacco is injured and you don’t have faith in Hogan, or whoever else is there. But sitting him for the season isn’t a bad idea at this point.
    Designate him for return, but don't end his season. That would be stupid.

    I think tned said this earlier, bit you don't designate specific players to return anymore. You can pull anyone off IR, but only a limited number of players. So they can just stick him on IR and make that decision later.

    Hopefully he is healing quick enough they don't even need to use IR.

    I suspect the next time you see Brock in a uniform it will be for the XFL.

    Brock would be a strict upgrade over Hogan and I'd take him back in a second.

    I don’t think I disagree with you, but I think I’m right.

    I think he will be on an NFL roster this year. Maybe Carolina? But honestly, it would be an upgrade with Lock hurt. I have very little faith that Flacco doesn't go down at some point.

    Y'all act like Flacco has been an often injured qb.

    Nov 4, 2018 NFL Inguinal Hip Sprain Flacco avoided surgery. He returned in a backup role.
    Oct 26, 2017 NFL Head Cranial Concussion Grade 1
    Jul 26, 2017 NFL Back Vertebral Disc Hernia Flacco missed all of August with a disc issue in his back but was ready for Week 1.
    Oct 16, 2016 NFL Shoulder Flacco missed a practice with pain in his throwing shoulder but was fine to play in the following week's game.
    Nov 22, 2015 NFL Knee ACL Tear Grade 3 Flacco tore his left ACL and MCL late in Week 11. He was placed on IR and missed the rest of the season. He had surgery on December 8.
    Dec 16, 2013 NFL Knee MCL Pull Grade 1 Flacco suffered a sprained left MCL but was ready the following week.

    The only qualifier is he is playing behind our shitshow line.

    Yeah, I think that lack of confidence in the line is the issue.

    Especially in the helmet-misplacement department.

    That's true of almost the entire league. Probably about 1/3 of the teams have a decent quality backup QB like Nick Foles was for the Eagles who can step in and keep the team winning.

    Look who other teams have. Would you want any of these guys as your backup?

    Blake Bortles, Rams
    Mike Glennon, Raiders
    Blaine Gabbert, Buccaneers
    Brett Hundley, Cardinals
    Matt Barkley, Bills
    Chase Daniel, Bears
    Drew Stanton, Browns
    AJ McCarron, Texans
    Chad Henne, Chiefs
    Brian Hoyer, Patriots
    Trevor Siemian, Jets
    Tom Savage, Lions
    Paxton Lynch, Seahawks

    Maybe you see a guy you would like on that list but I don't.
