Moonraker

Battle of the 9's between BY and McCarthy would be a better matchup.

It is. You don't need the #1 pick but most good QBs do go in the first round. You never know which one is gonna hit, so you have to take the chance if it's there and it's a need.

I think everyone knows that. What's also interesting is only 2? of them were taken #1! And neither of them would be in my first 3 if we had the choice to take one

Look at these QBs just slinging darts all over the field

A long term fix most likely wouldn't come next year so him starting makes sense, as much as it sucks. I don't want us to do that, but it's the likely outcome.

Every year there are QBs nobody is talking about that come out and play well. Nobody ever knows unless Andrew Luck shows up again....just take the shot on it if it's there.

Hard agree with the quality of product.

Canales was def a premature hire for HC/OC combo...he isn't Andy Reid, McVay, etc. We also wouldn't have landed him if he was a real proven commodity. So far I think the investment has paid off, we'll see if he continues to improve since the margin gets thinner and thinner as your team gets better. We look back fondly on Rivera and the attitude the team had, but he was on the edge of getting canned before he finally said fug it and went all in. It's frustrating as all hell to watch at times rn, but the team is trending in the right direction...it just gets harder as you move up the ladder to overtake the next team.

They are just an NFL coach and player, not Panthers. All the dudes we loved were psychotic, elite competitors. DB is the only person on this team capable of intimidating anybody. Maybe Dowdle too. Cherelus only played like 2 games but loved that dudes attitude too. He made some mistakes, but anytime he made a tackle, you could hear it.

Yeah I don't see how this isn't a total route unless the Rams forget all their cleats in LA and go deaf on the plane. Even then, 13-10 Rams

That's fair. The goal posts definitely moved after some of our wins this year.

Most teams in the league could say that. 49ers probably saying the same after last night.

For sure. The fact that we are 6-6 is evidence that we are better at finding ways to win. Still a very frustrating team though

If you look at our average offensive performance it's pretty shocking that we're 6-6.

Barring a curveball out of nowhere there is nothing to be excited about going into next year from the offensive perspective. There's enough data out, there's no reason to believe we are just going to turn around unless there is a big chance somewhere on the offensive side of the ball.

Shut 'em down if it's even remotely questionable.

I totally agree. I was just thinking to myself last night this guy is just happy to be here. It was God's plan for him to bomb last night...the dude isn't a competitor. Everything, good or bad, is God's plan and there's nothing he can do about it. Nobody would care if he was playing great but to hear this every time he goes out and drops a deuce is ridiculous. He should just be the team chaplain or something.

Yeah, it's a mess, and I have no faith that we won't make it an even bigger mess this off-season.

Not disagreeing there.

You can't win until you learn to keep from losing. That encapsulates this team. Every little thing matters...dumb penalties, dropped passes, not protecting the ball, missing tackles, refusing to do what works, or to move off of what isn't during a game. We just look too amateur in too many areas way too frequently.

Ehhh guys we just aren't very good! When we play like this so frequently, it's on us for expecting anything else.

We just look flat AF again. Defense was flying around but still missed a ton of tackles (as usual). SF went 48 of 50 on 3rd down. Our offense was as anemic as it has ever been. Just a return to the norm. Depressing to watch.

Well I think we got a preview of what the Rams and Seahawks game will look like. We are going to get TORCHED by them. Both those teams outclass the 49ers. We prob win 1 more game against NO or TB but that's all I got.

Hopefully we can learn from the tape and grow together after this game. We need more growth...together.

Nor should we.
