Lattimore was drafted by the 49ers last season and hasn't played much, although he has been cleared. He had a few bad injuries in college.
wrong.
Lattimore was drafted this season. And the plan was to redshirt him this year and have not have him play at all. the 49ers put him on the NFI list and promptly shut him down when his 4 weeks of practices transpired. that was the plan all along.
Exactly. Not (overly) down on the CM pick, but at the same time, I'm thinking if we were going to rest CM this entire (firkin) year, why not draft Lattimore, who most felt would still be available in the 4th, or even 5th? Yes, it was a horrific injury, but with time / rehab, players have come back from such an injury. By all accounts, Lattimore is on schedule and that is not great news for us. Gore will not be a 9er next year, IMO.
James and Hunter and Blixon andDixon...they're like Santa's reindeer...not going to scare anyone. Enter Marcus Lattimore and the Niners have their back of the future and got him for peanuts. I cringed when they made the pick.
Hopefully Michael will get it together (if he hasn't already...who knows?) because starting immediately, the NFCW is going back to smash mouth football (from top to bottom). Someone will need to step up and fill the dreaded void of the departed Lynch. I like Turbin a lot, but he's not the answer at the 1 spot, IMO.
