San Francisco 49ers Roster Cuts: Josh McCown, Dominique Zeigler Released

Fooch's Update: Dominique Zeigler and McLeod Bethel-Thompson both cut as well. Shame for Zeigler given the injury issue from last year.

The 49ers made some early roster cuts today, including WR Joe Hastings, safety Curtis Taylor, and the most curious of all, QB Josh McCown. The 49ers brought in McCown after training camp began as a third QB option, but something didn't seem to cut it for them with McCown. He was 4 for 4 with 51 yards on Thursday against the Chargers but that wasn't enough to win him the job.

Right now the 49ers quarterbacks contingent includes Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick and McLeod Bethel-Thompson. As entertaining as it would be to continue for a guy nicknamed McBLT, I'd be fairly surprised if they went with this trio, or just Smith and Kaepernick once the season starts. Kaepernick has shown he has a lot to work on before he's ready to play in the NFL and McBLT has received very limited reps. If the team is intent on competing in 2011, they need a viable backup.

The question now is what quarterback are the 49ers targeting? For those that think they are not going to target another quarterback, I'd be interesting to hear your reasoning for that.

Until we get an official list from the 49ers, I'll update the 49ers cuts after the jump.

Really surprised he was cut

He played really well. I can’t see McBLT making the team as much as his name is tasty.

The 49ers definitely have their eye on a veteran QB that will be cut today.

Well

I have been saying all along that the 49ers will show interest in Tim Tebow. This got a little more realistic this morning. Just saying!

They will both get fewer practice reps due to the presence of the other

You have to decide what your plan is and stick to it. Right now it looks like the team’s plan is Kaepernick. They won’t abandon him lightly (like Singletary did to Nate Davis).

If Harbaugh thinks its fine I think its fine

Lots of teams have had more than one developmental QB. The Pats have two now. The Packers have done it numerous times.

The reps is an issue, but with two studious competitors like CK and Tebow, you can create a collegial atmosphere where they are learning the system.

Matt Flynn

Aaron Rodgers backup is Matt Flynn. He’s done pretty well in Green Bay, but he’s not going to get enough practice or game reps to unseat No. 12 as the starter. He’s a free agent after this season.

If Alex Smith isn’t the panacea, the Niners will break the bank to get him. That’s my prediction!

I can see us going with only 2 QB

And using the roster spot elsewhere. If Alex does go down, we can always call McCown back.

If he’s somewhere else, there are other guys we can call that aren’t significantly different.

by Ougadas on Sep 3, 2011 10:43 AM PDT reply actions  

No way

I don’t think the 49ers can be confident that Kaepernick will be able to lead them to wins if Smith goes down.

The strange thing is that Kaepernick’s preseason performance may have sealed McCown’s fate. Meaning that if CK proved he was NFL-ready the 49ers would have been happy to go with McCown as the No. 3, now they are looking for a true back-up.

I don’t see what the big knock is on him. He may have an unorthodoxed through, and he may not through the perfect spiral every pass but he makes good things happen when he is out there. He is the only one that threw a TD pass against the Cards.

I still think he will be #2. John Fox must really just hate religion or something. Because to play Quinn in the #2 spot is just plain dumb. It’s exactly why Fox should not be a HC in the NFL. Ran the Panthers down and now he’ll do the same in Denver.

Never said

Suck for Luck in fact I said there are fans who have come out and said the 49ers should do that. I don’t believe that all and I believe that Luck is overrated.

He had one great season with Harbaugh and of course Harbaugh is gone now, he had a decent season the year before and it wasn’t anything special as Toby Gerhart was pretty much tall the offense Stanford had.

Yeah there is.

But he has some things he needs to work on. I think it would be better for his career to go somewhere like that.

I don’t think he has the drive of a Colt McCoy, or something like that.

Usually they are running up the score. He has not really had to play in a tough conference through his career either.

It’s not like he is playing against the SEC.

Better off letting that team

Having him, not sold on Kaepernick one bit. Draft one who is actually in an offense that translates at the NFL level. Still doesn’t hurt the 49ers as Kaepernick isn’t starting anytime soon.

Reposting my reasoning here: nobody will claim him off of waivers, he’ll go back to coaching high school football just like he was doing when we signed him. If either Smith or Kaep get hurt, since he already has some knowledge of our offense, they’ll re-sign him and bring him back…

I have seen him have issues on cutting and keeping up.

Besides, if you do something like that to your ankle, it’s never going to be the same. I had all kinds of issues with my ankles throughout all my sports playing years after sustaining a pretty bad injury to it.

You never fully get the confidence back. Sometimes you forget about it but it always comes back in to your mind.

Perhaps.

Of course, James Harrison was un-drafted and cut four times, three times by the Steelers and once by Baltimore, so it’s sometimes hard to say. At least he was great in Madden 11, so, he shouldn’t feel too bad about himself.

They have a UDFA tackle prospect that played both RT and LT against 1st team guys due to minor injuries and looked pretty good. The chances he gets cut aren’t that great, but if he’s a numbers game casualty he’d be a great pickup.

Belicheck benched him last year

He makes some big plays but freelances too much. The Pro Bowl selections are a joke and he wouldn’t have been selected if he wasn’t a Patriot, but he is a decent safety due to his nose for the ball and could be very good if some work was done with him.

In my opinion the 49ers are in such a position that it wouldn’t hurt them to try and make a deal for a young QB from another team. In case no one took note of what happened in the Charger game, consider this. Scott Tolzien was under pressure the whole time he was in, was sacked five times, yet still managed to look impressive. Did no one notice that? If I was a Niners coach, I certainly would’ve. Maybe Harbaugh did too. If I worked in the FO, today I would be trying to think of a way to acquire this guy. The point being that the Niners have nothing to lose by acquiring Scott Tolzien if they can. What he did under that much pressure cannot be overlooked.
