(link not embedding, have tried all usual tricks but...)

Of interest (to me, at least) because Dom Anile which one of the guys who helps the original Panthers get off the ground. 

Doubt there's anybody left now who would still recognize that, though.

Trying to get me killed?

Hi folks.

Neil Stratton is always a great source for this kind of news.

Thought this was going to be about Brandon Graham saying "Dallas sucks" from the podium.

(Lady Cowboy Fan is still stewing over that one)

This works too, though.

Just leaving this here...

For those watching the Draft, yes Lady Cowboy Fan did hear Eagles DL Brandon Graham say "Dallas sucks" and she's ready to jump off the couch and go through the TV

Pat is a great hire.

Was about to say the same thing.

A number of the guys on the offensive side are fairly or relatively new to their positions. McPherson has a lot of experience.

Agreed but those 3 must have had some sort of shared disagreement with those that remained (Tabor, Campen, Brown).

Now they’re all gone, complete reset. 

Campen was reported to be one of the guys running to Tepper. It's also believed that Tabor was one, but no names have ever been confirmed from internal sources. Campen was mentioned by someone outside the team, though.

Tepper fired the HC. Tabor fired the rest when he was interim. I read it was because they were all going behind each other’s backs. Who knows the truth? Brown was left because there was no one left to call plays. I believe those were all Frank Reich guys too? I could be wrong. 

Brown wasn't. They'd never met.

He was reportedly added after an outside suggestion (possibly Tepper).

We keep saying this about every position it seems...

At some point you have to love the one your with and put a team together. 

Piniero cant even make a 50 yarder in a regular season game. 

Right about the time we settle down and say "okay, we're good now" is when they start waffling

Time to break out the hyperbaric (spelling?) chambers! In all seriousness I agree with your statement.

Tom Coughlin had the same problem.

Keeping a team healthy long enough to win a Super Bowl is a massive challenge, made worse by the league extending the season to 17 games.

You're wrong as usual.

Actually I received quite a few poo reactions from people when I stated multiple times his arm was done after his stint in New England and the comeback attempt here. Even recently Carl Spackler has claimed I hate Cam lol. I've never shied away from the reality of his situation post 2018. The problem always was how we proceeded after. No QB. Sign a running back to the highest paid contract in history. Been flailing ever since trying to fix it with panic moves.

Wrong about you and McCaffrey? Nah

As to the analysis of what we've done at the quarterback position post Newton though, I won't argue that.

Agreed. But, I don't think Shanahan would abandon the run as much if he had 2 beasts to hand the ball too.

Also, maybe it's just me but it sure feels like the 49ers have an unfortunate tendency to be beaten up by the time the postseason rolls around.

That was a lot of what kept the Steelers from being more successful under Bill Cowher.

Just now, SCO96 said:

No one does it alone.

I actually think Shanahan needs to draft a big back to come in spell MaCaffrey during the game and to use in short yardage situations. Their backup RB is ok, but I think SF could continue to run effectively with CMC on the bench if they could find 6ft+/225lb+ back in the middle rounds of the draft to complement MaCaffrey.

If Shanahan had one of those last night he would have a much better shot at winning that game.

Doesn't really matter how many backs Shanahan has on the roster if he continues to abandon the run.

I've discussed the inconsistencies people have expressed in their positions between the two players. You didn't and still don't like that. People wanted to move on from Cam hell or high water. They got their wish. We see how its gone. Just yesterday I had someone tell me they wanted to keep McCaffrey well past his prime.

What's stupid is you rehashing all this again. You have 100 thousand plus posts many of them venting to no end about Marty Hurney then you spend thousands more defending and still defending our now worst GM in team history.

Just give it a rest Scot.

Oh, the irony

Also, thanks for essentially confirming what I've said about you. I'm sure Newton appreciates your neverending crusade to smear a teammate he had no issues with.

2 minutes ago, frankw said:

False. I hated the contract and the subsequent albatross of a salary cap hit. It was never a wise investment to make before having a QB in place.

But keep trying to come for others Mr. Scot after all your water carrying for Fitterer.

You wanted McCaffrey to be cut, traded or fail out of spite because you were mad about Newton getting cut. Somewhere In your mind that was a twisted form of justice, despite the two having absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Plenty of people know that, not just me.

It was stupid back then. It's still stupid now.

It honestly sounds like you have some bias of your own to work out. Did you hate CMC while he was here too?

Yes, he did.

Still does.

Thats pretty rough and uncalled for to do to that old overweight guy. He could have been pissed screaming without practically knocking the old guy down.

Found the explanation...

Shanahan reminds me of Tom Landry.

Landry was super intelligent...and arguably the only guy in NFL history during the SB era who could be his own own offensive and defensive coordinator. Yet, the Cowboys often chocked in big games under Landry. He tended to over analyze things and make big mistakes in crucial moments of championship games. Pete Gent (North Dallas Forty author) has said he never understood how someone so smart would freeze up at the worst possible times.

The Cowboys were preseason favorites to win the championship from 1967-1970 and fell short every year. Each loss was to a less talented team. Landry finally got over the hump in 1971 when Staubach took over at the QB position. 

Shanahan has lost 2 SB's to Reid. And both times his team outplayed KC for the majority of the game. His offense lost their first half momentum in both losses. He was also the OC for Atlanta when they blew a 28-3 to NE and lost the SB. He needs to figure out why his teams can't put games away when it counts. Had his teams scored 1 more TD in the 2nd half in any of the above 3 SB losses, they would have walked away as world champions. 

Just now, Ricky Spanish said:

We don't learn, that's why we re-hired Hurney who was the one who let Butker go.

Richardson sure as hell didn't.

Whether or not Tepper does is what we're all waiting to see.

what helped him the most was finding/stumbling on the right QB to fit what he had in his head. 

that's kind of like with bill and brady. would the patriots or either of them have been that great if it was missing either one of those two commodities? i doubt it. it was the ight fit and it was an incredibly rare fit.

 same thing going on with reid and mahomes. right fit at the right time and again, it's an incredibly rare thing. 

if shanahan finds his mahomes, then maybe he could turn that corner. i just don't think that it will happen.

Shanahan might genuinely believe he can do it with Purdy.

I'd call that a Ron Rivera style emotional decision.
