Well. Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, the end result is the same.

Not many of us had this team winning 6 games this season. Im still in on going to the SB. We will probably play the Jaguars. We win it all.

To be fair if we picked him he would have had a career ending injury game one

I will point out that he is far more likely to get traded than released. So these reports of "releasing him" are absolutely absurd.

Honestly, the more relevant factor recently(in the playoffs) has been lack of ability to score. When we have been getting bounced out, we are going completely cold. The current goalie situation I have no idea what to make of. Freddie is cold as ice at the moment. Kochetkov is Kochetkov, so it will all be about what streak he is on in the playoffs. Bussi I have no real read on. He's extremely sketchy but has been steady for us, overall. I do feel like he is overachieving at the moment. Koochie is the only guy playing statistically well right now but we all know how that goes. Once he gets in a rut, there is no telling how long it will last.

It’s going to come down to goalie play this year. Like every year minus 2023. And the team’s goalie play sucks right now

I doubt it on the commanders piece. They tried to go after a bunch of vets this year to try and go after a chip after Jayden Daniels great rookie season. They are the oldest team in the league right now and it kinda blew up in their face. I think they’ll go after some youth. But i could be wrong.

I am gonna have to disagree. You don't sign someone to a large contract extension if you don't want them.

We already have an established NFL look. Do we really want to mess with it like the Commanders, Jags, and Bucs (in the 2010s) did? It could end up looking way worse

Yeah I feel you. I like watching things work and come together. Where we are now is that every time he does something to get people excited the same people come in to crown him but then it goes right back to the same old. It is a compelling watch at least. The rest of the team is growing. This year’s draft class is looking like it could be pretty historic, speaking top to bottom. With the QB it is well we have 6 games left. Last week was great but that doesn’t make up for all the crap in the past even the previous week. He is gonna need to keep that up. And we saw even in that excellent performance, he doesn’t see open people very well. He has to have things a certain way or he can’t function like that. And that was a crappy defensive team despite whatever the statistical rankings were trying to claim. Lots of ball left to be played before we have to call it.

Why do we always let our good players go ? CMC was injured and we let him go . Now we face him Monday night . We know what Chuba can do . We know what Rico can do . We signed Chuba so why not sign Rico . we don't know what we have in Brooks , Let him and Eteine go at it in camp . Keep the better player . Don't let your proven players leave .

Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team. I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season? Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.

The Niners didn't want him. I think to some extent they were publicly shamed into making an offer when it was revealed he was not in their plans.

I think that is a price and attitude thing. Reportedly he was a bit of a handful for Shanahan, although admittedly not enough to not sign him to that big deal. I also think this may be much ado about nothing. If we plays this season, I suspect they will likely not move on from him.

The injury argument against him was strong but as others have pointed out you chose an injured RB of all things. Wilson was EXTREMELY CLEARLY a better football player than Wallace outside of injury/health concerns. We often seem to whiff on these sort of players(Trey Smith, etc) when we should be making these sort of moves. This is why I railed so much against our FO and their pursuit of RAS/Underwear Olympics champions over great FOOTBALL PLAYERS. Now with all that being said.......Wilson has started 8 total games in his career. He is technically piling up these stats as a backup player. Had we built our roster better, Wallace might have the benefit of being a backup player racking up stats surrounded by better LB's, as well. Instead he is getting abused game in and game out as a starter before he is ready to be such.

I mean you literally are attempting to justify our -60 differential as unimportant in your first post in this thread. Well, having a negative point differential(to the tune of -3.8/ppg) through 11 games is a very strong indicator of being a bad team. If anything, we have largely been overachieving stastically. The on field results also bear that out. So if we end up, and I think this is likely, as a 7-8 win team, with an even more substantially negative point differential at the end of this season how would this statistic not matter? Point differential is the most basic statistic in existence that one can look at to largely guage the results. You do need to score more than your opponent to win.

Yeah, it is wild that we keep clawing back and thriving with all these different lineup combos and players coming and going. Say what you want about how some things have gone over the past few years but our roster construction is exceptional. We really have loaded up on guys in free agency and through the draft that really fit Rod's system. It's gonna come down to the usual things, I think. Can we elevate our play in the playoffs? That's the big thing we have lacked. Eventually we just hit an opponent that can dig deeper and scrap harder than us. It's funny because we always have these teams we cannot seem to get past in the playoffs(Bruins, Tampa, NYR, Florida) that we eventually outlast and outbuild. I guess possiblu that will be the way we win a Cup in the end. Just outlast and outbuild them all.

I wouldn take Nystrom allll day over Reilly. He is a gem. 7th rounder that bought in and is playing great. The injury’s on D actually got him the playing time he needs. He will be a cane for a long time.

LOL, most of us WANTED to draft him, but Dan had a boner for Trevin Wallace, I know I sure as heck wanted Wilson. He's had injuries during college, that's a red flag, they said. Then Jonathan Brooks entered the chat... Make sense of it.

It’s extremely frustrating when it feels like you are genuinely right as a fan. Taking an injured RB in the 2nd was pretty shocking. Every time I shrug my shoulders and say they know more than me but damn. Brooks has to be elite/productive for that decision to make any sense.

True but when they're all healthy together... oh lawd!

Not gonna lie, the first 3 picks in that draft were... confusing. Not necessarily who we picked, but more who we didn't pick and was surprisingly still on the board.

We were all screaming for it too, was so obvious, what was Dan thinking? “Former NC State LB Payton Wilson is on pace to break the Pittsburgh Steelers' single-season tackles record. The second-year player's 8.4 tackles per game would total 142.8, which would top James Farrior's 141 from 2003.”

Ayiuk, Scary Terry, and Deebo? Talking about an injury-plagued receiving corps...
