Gilliam was far from good but did supply depth and experience. It was not too long ago that this board had him plugged in as Okung's replacement because he was showing improvement. At some point, you have to roll with you have and stop the trial and error approach because the Oline appears to be making no improvement and may be getting worse.

I will take this as a sign they still plan to trade Sherm, have a deal that is close, and will have more options then we now see. :snack:

I think you should give up driving this bus. You just missed negotiating that last curve.

Sit down in the back please! Watch and learn and enjoy the ride.

We shall see. 8)

Do you have a license and insurance? :lol:

Yep! Revolked then re-instated (by Cable licensing corp) and SR22 filing. That should calm the children down. :twisted:

Winner winner, chicken dinner!!

Do people really not feel the DeJaVu from just doing this last season? They even stated that the want to leave Ifedi at guard, now this crap. Mix and match more scrubs, change positions of 2 or so, lose 2 or 3 of the first 4-5 then try to play catchup again. :|

I'm not so sure. As a graduate of the "School of Steve Harper", I've seen this before. But many .... and probably most current .net members missed those lessons from the early days.

Gary Gilliam is an average at best player. Agree to disagree

And so far Ifedi is pure crap at best. The good news is he makes Joeckel look like a good move to Cable.

Also poor analysis. Ifedi has some great plays last year, mixed in with some terrible ones.

It's pretty easy to fall into that misconception. Bad plays always get called out; good plays don't. You should read Fieldgulls a bit more. They have actual tape.

By the way, Gilliam's departure all but ensures that Ifedi is now our right tackle.

Our line was total garbage last season and we lost one of the culprits. I cant see the line being getting any worse with the absence of Gilliam. Any NFL caliber body should be able to replicate what he brought to the table. When theres no plan to fix the biggest weakness on the team, theres no big loss involved.

Still pretty early to come to this conclusion.

I'm not totally at this conclusion actually. Just heading that way, and it's feeling creepy.

John Lynch was very persistent. He stayed after it until he found an offer Gilliam would agree to. The 49er offensive line is better off because of it.

That i agree with. It's why i was questioning whether the 2.2 million would be worth it... just as insurance

If their line is better because of Gilliam, they are in bad shape.

The 49ers also traded for a center on the 15th of April. And yes, the effectiveness of the 49er offensive line was worse than that of Seattle's in 2016.

In your opinion. But, there are more creditable ones to consider.....
https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-how-every-2016-first-round-pick-has-played-this-season/

31. Germain Ifedi, OL, Seahawks (Texas A&M)

Snaps: 777

PFF overall grade: 37.6

Germain Ifedi has been one of the league’s worst offensive linemen in his rookie season, playing guard on a team that seems stacked with them. He has surrendered 38 total QB pressures (tied for fourth-most among guards), despite playing only 12 games, and been flagged eight times. His run blocking has at least been passable, but his pass protection needs to improve immeasurably for him to be a viable starter.

Still has nothing to do with how he will be this season and going forward. So a rookie wasn't dominant, that never happens. :?

True. Being moved outside will give Russell another .3 seconds since the unblocked player has an additional 1.5 steps to make up to get there....provided Russell is a statue that is. :2thumbs:
