The 415ers

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc react to a busy first day of free agency for the San Francisco 49ers. Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave is the newest member of the 49ers defense, per reports, after agreeing to a four-year, $84 million contract on Monday. Hargrave racked up 11 sacks last season. What does this signing do for the 49ers? Are you surprised John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan pulled the trigger on a great free agent like this? Plus, a couple of familiar faces will return for the 2023 season while a couple others will not. Meanwhile, former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. What does his deal tell you about how the rest of the league views Garoppolo and, by extension, the 49ers? How will he fare with the Raiders? And how would you sum up the Jimmy Garoppolo era in the Red & Gold? Former Carolina Panther Sam Darnold is the 49ers newest quarterback as he agreed to a one-year contract with San Francisco on Monday, per reports. Is there anything to glean from this move by the 49ers about Trey Lance? Is Darnold coming toSanta Clara with the intention of being a third-string quarterback? Plus, is the 49ers quarterback room in a better position now than it was one year ago?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi continue to preview the San Francisco 49ers' plans for free agency. (1:49) The Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson, meaning he is free to negotiate a new contract with any other team in the league. But it's a little more complicated for the 49ers to make a run at Jackson. How would it work, and what would it take the 49ers to part with to make it work? Will the team even consider it? (14:00) Aside from the quarterback room, how aggressive will the 49ers be in free agency? What are the positions of need and who are some names the 49ers should be targeting? But will they be willing to give out a big-money contract this offseason given all the money they already have tied up on their roster? (28:18) Also, Fred Warner ranked the five-best current San Francisco 49ers. He naturally ranked himself first, but who else made the list? Who got snubbed and what does it say that a quarterback is nowhere near the team's top five?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi dive into the offseason quarterback carousel and look ahead to the start of free agency as rumors begin to fly. (3:25) The guys start by reacting to the news that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is set to have surgery on his torn UCL on Friday, March 10th. What does this date mean in terms of his availability for the 2023 regular season? And what happens if Purdy and the 49ers get bad news on Friday -- that Purdy needs Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire season? (13:42) Plus, a couple of high-priced quarterbacks are already off the market: Derek Carr has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Saints and Geno Smith will return to the Seattle Seahawks. Both are set to make $35 million or more per year. What do these deals mean for Jimmy Garoppolo and the rest of the quarterback market at the 49ers try to find the final piece of two of their quarterback room? (29:38) Also, free agency rumors are starting to fly, including about 49ers kicker Robbie Gould, who says he plans to be kicking elsewhere in 2023. Is Gould telling the truth, or is this just a negotiation tactic? Plus, the window to use the franchise tag is nearing a close -- will the 49ers utilize it this season?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch's comments at the NFL Scouting Combine from earlier this week. (1:33) Lynch says that the 49ers may be involved in the quarterback market this offseason. What might he mean by that? Should the team be targeting a proven veteran who's past his prime? Or might the 49ers let the offseason quarterback carousel play out and then pick up a career journeyman that's left over once other teams have already solved their quarterback rooms? And can we glean anything about what Lynch, Kyle Shanahan, and the 49ers think about their current quarterbacks based on who they sign this offseason? (17:17) Plus, Lynch directly commented on Jimmy Garoppolo, again shutting down the possibility of his return to San Francisco. Is there any reason to not believe him here? Also, Lynch discussed Trey Lance's important offseason and the desire to get him on the field. But will the 49ers actually follow through with those words, unless absolutely forced? Haven't the team's actions up to this point suggested that they are not sure Lance is capable to help them win games? (31:21) The guys also revisit a conversation from last episode and discuss if Nick Bosa may have spoiled the 49ers' offseason plans. Does San Francisco expect Emmanuel Moseley to return next season? Plus, the NFLPA released its first-ever team report cards, in which 1,300 players graded their NFL franchise in a variety of categories. The 49ers finished in the top 10, but what else from these grades stand out?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi begin to focus on free agent decisions facing the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, discuss the latest reason for encouragement surrounding Brock Purdy, and debate the NFL's greatest conspiracy theory of the offseason: Tom Brady's potential return. (1:32) Which 49ers' free agents will be the toughest to replace? Is Mike McGlinchey more valuable to San Francisco than Jimmie Ward? Who is even out there to step in at right tackle if McGlinchey moves on? Might Emmanuel Moseley be a roundabout solution to the 49ers if Ward signs elsewhere? And does Jimmy Garoppolo even appear on your radar when asked about important San Francisco free agents? (16:32) Brock Purdy isn't physically imposing, but as The Athletic's Matt Barrows pointed out last week, he might have the right mental tools to succeed at quarterback at the NFL level. The guys introduce you to the S2 Cognition test, which is gaining momentum in football circles. Quarterbacks such as Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and -- you guessed it -- Brock Purdy have aced this test. Does this predict NFL success? And what does it mean for Purdy's future? (31:07) Plus, the guys address the elephant in the room: a potential Tom Brady return (again) from retirement. Would the 49ers still be interested in Brady's services, if he does decide he still doesn't enjoy life after football? Is there a timeline on this from San Francisco's perspective or will Kyle Shanahan welcome Brady with open arms even if he decides to return one week before the regular season starts? Also, Carson Wentz is now on the market. The 49ers shouldn't be interested.

On today's episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to Brock Purdy's delayed UCL surgery and debate what it means for Purdy himself, Trey Lance, Kyle Shanahan, and the entire San Francisco 49ers organization. (1:04) Per a report by Tom Pelissero, Purdy's UCL surgery (scheduled for Wednesday, February 22nd) was postponed because of 'ongoing inflammation.' Purdy and his surgeon will regroup in early March to try to get the surgery in. What does this mean for Purdy's rehabilitation timeline and will he be ready to go by Week 1 of the 2023 regular season? (15:27) What if Purdy is not ready by the start of the regular season -- or at least not ready soon enough ahead of the start of the regular season that Shanahan decides to start Lance Week 1? If Lance happens to open the season as the 49ers' starting quarterback, whether it be because of injury or not, will this offseason prove to be the most 'normal' of his first three offseasons with the 49ers? (31:57) Might this upcoming season be Lance's last chance to prove himself to Shanahan and the 49ers? If he doesn't make headway this season, will there be another chance for him in San Francisco? Even if Purdy proves to be ready by the start of the regular season, is there any part of Shanahan that feels like he needs to give Lance another chance before potentially permanently moving away from him following the completion of the 2023 season?

On the latest episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss the general lack of talent at the quarterback position across the entire NFC. (1:30) Where would Brock Purdy, and even Trey Lance, rank amongst every other NFC starting quarterback? Jalen Hurts has solidified himself as the best signal caller in the conference, but behind him is there anyone else that scares you? What's keeping you from already putting Brock Purdy in the top-five assuming health? (16:43) We might be nearing an answer for one team's quarterback question already: the Green Bay Packers, according to a report, are "done" with Aaron Rodgers. Can you blame them? What teams out there should be interested in Rodgers and is he even a quarterback that teams, including the 49ers, should worry about anymore? (27:59) Plus, what does the general lack of talent at the quarterback position in the NFC mean about the 49ers, who are generally considered as the favorite to win the conference? Does that confidence come from the team's unique quarterback position or because of the roster around the quarterback, despite the fact that there are some questions that still need to be answered this offseason?

Today on The 415ers, host Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi continue to react to the 2022-2023 NFL season that saw the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles and look ahead to next season for the San Francisco 49ers. (1:19) Odds for the 2024 Super Bowl are out and the 49ers are the favorites in the NFC. Do they deserve that distinction? Are the 49ers chances to win next year's Super Bowl more a result of the season they just put together or a result of the relative lack of contenders in the conference? Will the Philadelphia Eagles fall back to earth a bit in 2023? (16:33) Before any talk of a Super Bowl, however, the 49ers need to address some holes on their coaching staff. Another assistant is leaving Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco to join DeMeco Ryans in Houston. How will Shanahan fill this opening and what are his core principles when it comes to staff building? Is his cabinet becoming bare? How does he continue to replenish a staff that other franchises are constantly plucking from? (32:46) Plus, a number of 49ers were on hand at last week's NFL Honors show. Nick Bosa won AP Defensive Player of the Year and DeMeco Ryans won AP Assistant Coach of the Year. But both Kyle Shanahan and Christian McCaffrey finished second in their respective categories. Who was the bigger snub: Shanahan for AP Head Coach of the Year or McCaffrey for AP Comeback Player of the Year?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to Super Bowl LVII, which saw Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs beat Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. (2:55) Members of the San Francisco 49ers, who lost to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, spent a lot of time over the last two weeks directing some talk at Philadelphia. Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and even Robbie Gould all had something to say. Was the result of the Super Bowl enough to back up the 49ers' talk? (14:51) San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan watched the Super Bowl last night, most likely from the comfort of his own home. What should he have been making note of? What could he have learned from Nick Sirianni's shortcomings and Andy Reid's second half? How might Shanahan use this Super Bowl as a stepping stone for himself? Plus, the guys break down the epic start to Patrick Mahomes' career and debate where he stacks up amongst the greats of the game. (36:51) With an eye on Mahomes' and Hurts' performances in the Super Bowl, the guys ask the following question: what is Kyle Shanahan missing? What is keeping him from winning a Super Bowl, despite being very close multiple times. Is it as simple as needing an elite quarterback? Also, when it comes to great coach-QB relationships, is it a chicken-or-the-egg situation? Can Shanahan help make an elite quarterback or is it the other way around?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss a busy week for San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks and the newest member of the team's coaching staff. (2:20) Brock Purdy has reportedly settled on February 22nd as the date for his UCL surgery, which is still expected to be just the repair and not the full Tommy John procedure. However, what's with the timing of the surgery? Why is the surgery still nearly two weeks away? Even if he recovers as expected, Purdy would miss most of training camp. And what happens if his recovery isn't smooth? (17:23) The guys also discuss Trey Lance, who's been on the media circuit down in Phoenix ahead of the Super Bowl. Has Lance ever said a bad thing about anyone? Has he ever slipped up? He continues to say all of the right things -- whether it's about his teammates, his mindset, or anything else. Does that impact your belief in his ability to play quarterback? (33:09) The 49ers hired former Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks to be their next defensive coordinator. How does he fit in Santa Clara and why were the 49ers attracted to him? The guys also discuss the reported falling out between Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan, but can you really blame Garoppolo? Wouldn't you be frustrated, too, if you were in his shoes?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi officially turn the page to the San Francisco 49ers' 2023 offseason a week after the team's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. (0:57) The guys start by handing out grades to Kyle Shanahan for the 2022 season. Was this past year his best as a head coach? Did the 10-game winning streak that ended the regular season make you forget about some of the early-season issues, specifically as it relates to Trey Lance's struggles and injury? (15:23) With the season in the rearview mirror, what are the biggest offseason decisions awaiting Kyle Shanahan? If everything goes smoothly with Brock Purdy's expected surgery and recovery, there may not be an issue, but how does Shanahan handle his quarterback situation in training camp if, for whatever reason, Purdy's surgery or recovery is delayed? What if Trey Lance has a great offseason? (26:30) The guys also react to Brandon Aiyuk's recent comments, in which he says he thinks the Kansas City Chiefs will be able to move the ball against the Eagles' defense. Does this come across as sour grapes to you or is this just a professional athlete speaking his mind?
