That read as if she’s best friends with Burns agent, wow.

Nothing backs this statement up. You can say eye test, but every stat, analysis, chart and professional opinion I've seen says he's one of the most accurate passers in the league. I didn't watch every game, but the games I did see, your statement about hitting a barn sounds like hyperbole. Maybe you need glasses?

What I saw was someone who rarely hit his WRs in stride. They had to stop a lot to wait for the ball or do circus style catches. So that’s why I don’t consider him accurate at this point. Not sure how they actually measure accuracy as that doesn’t match up to what I see. But that is just my opinion, and maybe I’m completely wrong, who knows?

Isn’t he known as a kind of malcontent / underachiever? Or do I have him mixed up with someone else?

Found this interesting…

 

 

The sticking point is the amount of money he’s asking for, that could be used elsewhere, when he’s a liability against the run and only gets double teamed 15% of the time.

Here are two things I’d love to see:

1) Trade our 33rd pick for Brandon Aiyuk and sign him to a long term contract.

2) Trade Burns for a 1 and 3 in this year’s draft.

Might be a stretch, but not that far fetched. 49ers would be able to find a very good replacement WR at a much lower cost with that pick. And it would give us an established #1 WR who meets Dan’s dog criteria.

Top pass rusher on the team. Period. 

2 most important players are the quarterback, and players that get to the quarterback.  

There is literally no way we could replace him this year.  May not be able to replace him next year either. 

Doesn't matter what talent we add to the team if we can't get to the quarterback.   Without him we don't have 1 true starting quality pass rusher. 

I pray a resolution is found that includes him remaining with the team.  I also pray we get him some real help.

It is irrelevant that he is our best pass rusher on our team, his pay and importance to us is about how good he is compared to others around the league. I mean would you pay top money to Tremble just because he is our top TE? Or top money to Chuba because he is our best RB? That kind of reasoning makes no sense.

I do like Burns, but not enough to get even close to what he wants.

I like Burns at the right price, but I still think he can be worth more if traded for picks (assuming a 1 and 3 at a minimum) as that would give us a good chunk to also sign another player.

moton costs 29mil against the cap.  They got to figure out something with him

They should extend him, he’s still playing at a very high level and can fir many years.

We have to go BPA with the state of our roster. That’s how the Lions built their roster and it is something to mimic. They were widely panned for taking a RB and LB in the first round, but they were both BPA in their rankings, and it paid off handsomely for them. We need great players and not reach for a position.

I think it was a perfect storm of misconception made by a couple who happened to be the owners of the team. They weren't just looking for the face of the franchise. They were looking for the voice and they were looking/hoping for someone who sounded like they did.

I really think they were looking for someone who wouldn't just win games, but who would win the hearts of the market they were try appeal to who had the money. They were looking to make the typical middle /upper-middle class fan comfortable so, between the two top prospects I think they didn't rely on talent, but marketable personality.

Tepper from the beginning has tried his best to get media attention to the team he bought. Trying to make the biggest splash possible. He didn't want the best team. He wanted the most hyped team. The most marketable team.

Just my opinion and I could be totally wrong, but I think that he and his wife WANTED Bryce to be the best prospect so they believed it and sold everyone else on it...or just flat out pushed it on people who wanted to please the boss and his wife.

 Bryce was the well-mannered polite kid you could take to your grandma and who would comment on just how well-spoken and well-mannered he was.

I think the kid has talent and he might still become a good QB. I hope he is. But I really do believe that he fit the personality mold the teppers were wanting for the face/voice of their team.

Completely disagree (which is ok) that Tepper sold Young to the org. Fitt loved him for years and it has been reported over and over that the whole org was sold on him. But I agree that Tepper was probably ecstatic that his preferred face of the franchise was the same player pushed by the GM and coach.

Ability to get open and create separation should be an absolute priority. I don’t care if they run a 4.7

Throw out the RAS metrics. Draft someone like McConkey. No more projects with upside kind of bs in round 2-3, that’s for round 6-7.

Just did a few rounds, but would love to see it:

I believe the general perception is that Wilks wasn’t as good as Saleh and Ryans. They both were good enough to get HC jobs. I’ve seen some numbers backing up the notion of a strong year for the 49ers defense, and it was. But it didn’t reach the heights it has in the past, despite same or better roster. The expectations for a DC on that team are just so high.

I wish he would have gone there and blown the doors off, but that just didn’t happen.

There were signs throughout the season that they were not on the same page, so I’m not surprised. I think Shanahan wanted a different type of defense so the hire was a bit odd to begin with.

But the Super Bowl loss itself is all on Shanahan, his offense did not deliver, players not aware of overtime rules speak of issues with preparations etc. 

I feel bad for Wilks, but in the end I just don’t think the two of them were a good match.

Meanwhile PJ gives Dallas a 3 point PJ special.

I don’t know if there is a single player in the NBA that is as up and down as PJ. You never know what you’re going to get with him.

If an o-line player is BPA at 33 (Jackson Powers-Johnson is my top pick if available) I would take him without hesitation.

Its funny that it lists all the reasons why he was fired as evidence of why he was supposedly great at his job.

I thought the same thing, this could have been a sarcastic article from the Onion.

It’s one thing to do trades, but to bomb every pick you acquired in those trades is wild. I mean we have a full time group of people that spend 100% of their time scouting players. It is absolutely wild how it can be this bad. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We would be better off just using Dane Brugler draft guide.

Grant Williams got that DAWG in him!

 

Love this because we get a guy who will hustle and not back down from players. He might be our leader low-key.

 

Getting a 1st round pick was a steal. We won this trade easily.

Agree, his attitude and defensive tenacity is exactly what this team needs.

If we didn’t have Young I would pick Maye. If we had Young I would also pick Maye.

Great teams don't fail to score. Ya don't get to the Superbowl by having an offense that fails to produce against good defenses. Just like ya don't get there without good defenses. 

Nobody is worshipping the man. So you can go play in traffic until ya find someone that is doing so. 

 

Wow, a lot of anger there.

The reason Moton number is so high is we've restructured him time over time.  If he's going to be here long term just extend him and stop pushing the money off.  His cap hit won't shrink magically and then in a season we're going to be sitting here saying "Why is moton getting 40m+"

I would extend him as well. He’s never injured, plays a position where you can play a long time, he’s a very good player that (I think at least) wants to be here, he’s a team leader etc.

Yet their in the superbowl. A goal all teams have, yet only 2 make it to.  

Defensive and offensive ratings are great. Fantastic.  

The only stats that truly matter, is the wins and losses column.  

So, seems like you're just looking for something negative to say about him and the work that he does. 

 

Good job. 

I like Steve, he seems like a great man without doubt. And I’m very happy for him. I was just anticipating the hype squad saying him being in the superbowl somehow makes him a great coach. The last couple of games have been really rough in the 49ers defense, despite being stacked with talent.

Steve is a great guy, but the 49ers defense has been significantly underperforming for a while now since he took over.

If play calling is what he loves, what a great spot he’s in. Dan can do all the leadership stuff and Ben can stay in his lab coming up with new stuff, and still get paid a ton. Good for him. But he should have handled it better imo.
