San Francisco 49ers General Thread

I've been following De'Zhaun Stribling (retarded first name), drafted by the 49ers as the first pick of the second round, since Ricky Pearsall went down for the season. And he's getting nothing but rave reviews. He had 7 catches on 8 targets in San Fran's first preseason game. The 49ers took a lot of criticism for taking him so early, just as they did when they drafted Pearsall, but Stribling is similar to Deebo Samuel -- strong, faster than Deebo and not afraid to block and hit defenders, so if he does pan out right away Pearsall will be Wally Pipp'ed. (For those unfamiliar with the reference, search Wally Pipp and Lou Gehrig.)
 
I’ve been reading McCaffrey could be conducting a “hold in” scenario as he leverages for more guaranteed money as this is likely his last chance to earn big. Not sure I buy it, but I don’t need him to get reps in practice and preseason. Just healthy for the regular season and playoffs.
