Golden Nuggets: 49ers reportedly called Eagles over Carson Wentz

We heard reports that the 49ers called out Matthew Stafford, that Kyle Shanahan is high on Sam Darnold and on Monday night a report surfaced that the Niners called out to the Eagles about Wentz.

You’ll read Ben Allbright’s tweet below, but The Eagles beat writer Elliott Shorr-Parks also said he heard that the 49ers were interested in Wentz as well as Longtime Cowboys scout Bryan Broaddus.

Chiefs’ Super Bowl penalties give 49ers fans mixed emotions

On Sunday, the umpires called 15 total penalties for 159 yards, which was a stark contrast to last year. The Chiefs were stung for 11 of those calls for 120 yards. After the game, defensive tackle Chris Jones noted the difference between the two games.

“I was very surprised,” Jones said. “It’s the Super Bowl. Usually you let the guys play mostly in the biggest game of the year. Penalties have changed that. We had 100 yard penalties. That says a lot, especially in the biggest game of the year.

“Penalties affect the game a thousand percent. What can I say. We received a lot of penalties today. “

In Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers headed to the locker room at halftime after George Kittle was called up for offensive pass interference. The penalty nullified a 42-yard play that would have set Robbie Gould in place for an easy field goal and a 13-10 lead.

Biggest lesson the 49ers should have learned from Super Bowl LV

The quarterback isn’t the 49ers’ greatest need – the offensive line is. Today the 49ers announced they have re-signed Josh Rosen, who is more talented than any offensive lineman the 49ers currently have under contract (Trent Williams is a free agent).

The 49ers are expected to let Garoppolo and Rosen compete in training camp for a starting position behind a revamped offensive line.

Give every quarterback a chance to win the job and stay healthy.

Give them scary blockers.

Allbright: 49ers, Texans ‘made calls’ to inquire about Eagles QB Carson Wentz

“Basically two or three teams, but not at Eagle’s price,” wrote Allbright via Twitter. “Leaks about ‘compensation’ coming from the Philly side, because they’re trying to get the teams involved and drive the price up.

Jerry Rice concedes GOAT status to Tom Brady, but 49ers legend says he played in a more physical era

“I don’t have seven Super Bowl rings, but I think I played in a time when football was more of a contact sport. You see a lot of it now – the players are protected, ”Rice said, via Pro Football Talk. “When you’ve got seven rings, you’re doing something right. I think with Brady he still wants to play. He said something about playing until the age of 45. I think he can do it now in this league because the players are so much more protected. So, yes, it can have that GOAT status. Anyway, I never wanted that status.

Again, not to take away what Rice did, but Brady won at such a clip – even before this latest Lombardi – that it seems ridiculous to put someone on top of him.

2021 Mock Draft Monday 3.0: 49ers focus on first-round cornerback

Joe Marino, The Draft Network: QB Zach Wilson, BYU

• TRADE: Miami Dolphins negotiate No.3, 18, 81, Tua Tagovailoa, Xavien Howard and a 2022 first-round pick at the Houston Texans for Deshaun Watson and No.120. San Francisco 49ers negotiate No. No. 12, No. 44, No. 116 and a 2022 first-round pick for the Houston Texans for No. 3 overall.

“Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch just watched their division rivals Rams make an aggressive move to improve their quarterback position with the trade for Matthew Stafford, so it’s time for their countermove. Instead of giving up two first-round picks for a 33-year-old quarterback, the 49ers can “ beat ” the competition by making an aggressive move up the order for Zach Wilson. Not only can Wilson hit the pitching pace in Shanahan’s offense, but he brings mobility and an exciting vertical passing component to the table that San Francisco was lacking. Wilson has the skills to take Shannahan’s offense to the next level and provide a long-term response to the post.
