Anybody starting Goodwin tonight?

Rookie qb Mullens for the niners will be starting tonight. Game plan will probably running game and short passes to get him comfortable. I could be wrong.

This is probably what Oak will also be thinking, so SF should try to burn them deep.

Mullens is a decisive thrower and can deliver the ball with zip. He isnt afraid to push the ball downfield.

 

Goodwin has a better chance catching a deep one with Mullens under center compared to CJ Beathard. I wouldnt start Goodwin though unless I was desperate.

Here is the NFL scouting report on Mullens:

 

STRENGTHS Good foot quickness in the pocket. Can go from play-action to pass-ready quickly. Able to bounce around and find slivers of space to cut it loose when pressure descends. Can make expedited throws from off-balance angles and hit his targets. Capable in controlled passing attack with tight release. Throws with quality touch. Exceptional toughness. Had training staff "push the bone back in" and stitch up a compound fracture in his thumb against Texas-San Antonio so he could finish the game.

 

WEAKNESSES Well below NFL norm for size. Small frame unlikely to ever carry desired mass. Lacks NFL-caliber arm to push the ball down the field and drive it between the hashes without defensive backs making plays on the ball. Will opt out of throwing from balanced platform and into back foot tosses. Doesn't bring his lower body through his throws to maximize velocity. Floats throws to field side and in the deep middle. Needs to get ball out earlier to compensate for a lack of arm.

 

DRAFT PROJECTION UDFA

 

BOTTOM LINE Mullens is a productive college quarterback with good competitiveness and toughness, but lacking the minimum standards of size and arm strength. Mullens could make it into camp, but is unlikely to find a spot on a roster.

That line about pushing the bone back in during a College game just kind of jumped off the page. Now I'm sort of interested in watching him.

Yep. He's 1 of my 2 flex in a 16 team league.

 

All hail Nick Mullens!!

16 team league? Damn.....I bet Eli even makes a roster in that one.
