Unhealthy OGs. Playing other bad teams early and having effective rushing attack. Playing from behind with a really bad defense last year while the other teams were in prevent/softer D.

Unfortunately that wish was made true...

And the last 2 years were not very impressive from what I have seen in comparison to that '23 year. Yeah not comparing to the Panthers. It's an too easy of a curve to give, like comparing other QBs to Bryce. Texans had a great year 3 years ago and nothing much since then that I can see on thst side of the ball. He seemed to have worked well with BB for sure but we all know who wore the belt up there too. Never said he was terrible, just he had moments.

Lol of course the team is at fault but the players also singed the deal (for a Purdy it's an easy duh) . Purdy was a great example of a guy who is priceless on a rookie contract and should be avoided at market rates in the NFL. Trading for Jones and having to pay him would be just as bad. Neither are worth trading for but Mac in free agency at the right price could be a decent bridge. That's not a retooling for the 49ers, it's a regression around a cap fumble they have to eat a while longer. They might pull it off with their skills but it wouldn't be the NFL norm

So Purdy has fugged them which was my take the entire time. The damage was done when they gave him that contract.

Purdy is the one they need to ditch IMO

Is he tho? Moments sure but the last 2 years has me asking if that is really true. They let the oline weaken and their QB has been struggling. Seems like they pulled a harder Ron and focused on the D when they had a young QB to lean on.

I haven't been dialed in these days. I thought some D guys slipped away. Im not sure how tradable Purdy is at that price. Honestly with a staff that makes that level of QB look good offloading should be a given, any way they can IMO. I don't want it to be us that I do know.

Close. I am not convinced Stroud is close to their issues. That's the kind of QB to jump on if it's a bad team doing something dumb tho. Maybe the only trade I would be open for a QB.

Didn't they already let tallent walk to sign him to that contract? That also doesn't include guys they could have brought in with that cap. For a guy who signed that size of contract I have a hard time seeing him be happy with a more reasonable contract without going through the wringer like Baker did to get to Tampa. Even then he is no Baker either. If anything SF has been stalled around QB play so going Mac Jones is another lateral move really just escaping terrible contract they gave to Purdy.

Yeah Im with that nightmare finally ending. I was beyond ready already

It set them back and will likely take them from contender to playoff participants. Kind of huge step back for them. We can see it but again if they were at all worried about it then why not bring in a different #2? Lots of maybes. Maybe one does and the other doesn't. Maybe they signed on without that being a choice. It keeps going really. How is rolling into year 4 being hopefully any worse than signing a game manager to a crippling contract that could pay 2 great players instead? I do agree they should se either but where is thr proof? I don't think we have seen it yet

The 49ers gave Purdy $53 million a year to be a game manager that Mac Jones is competing with. I think we should just admit these are people and people can do some really dumb things.

Prove it. I haven't seen it yet. People think the sitting last year was punishment but I still think that was part of them working on Young, giving him time to reset and juggling owership pressure. I still think that DC and DM were always on the Bryce train and signing Dalton again makes me think '25 was no different. Im going to have to see them do something more than churn PS QBs behind a broken and broke down Dalton to belive anything has changed.

Are they really? Anyone got links to any sources or is this just wishful thinking? I would rather have Stroud. I don't think he is the Texans problem and I think he is being wasted there. The moves they have made after his rookie year leads me to think they may be dumb enough to dump him to try and save their jobs. Even then, it shouldn't be a thing. I don't see the same situation as with the Jags with a first year HC.

What's not hard to understand? Until the end of the year we won't know who is available. A chunk of this board is hoping on Lawrence but I think that's a pipedream this offseason. We are likely looking at a trade, personally don't like that, or a swing in free agency which should be more fingers crossed than jumping with excitement type move. All the hope I can scape together is being put into this team moving on from Bryce and not having wasted year #4. Until then we might not even be taking a QB and they will just roll with the ghost of Dalton again like some belive since he is also under contract next year.

Im fine with a later drsfted QB. Not a savior but hopefully a decent backup would be killer. They need to find 2 QBs going forward IMO.

The only way I want Murray is on the cheap. Hell no to him on his current contract. Purdy isn't worth a trade with his contract either. In free agency on a discount? Maybe. Just a game manager. I think the Lawrence talk is just wishful thinking at this point. That teams needs more talent not less. I just don't see how they can feel confident about an upgrade with so many needy teams with worse records. They just need to find a free agent and take a swing in the draft. Lance is more interesting and more likely than those options to me personally.

I don't think the Jags ditch him yet. Their offense is slightly better than their D and both are below the average. I wish tho. I could see them trying to upgrade at WR and continuing to build out the team. They still sit at over .500 with a first year HC. They are just going to have to take a swing and make due.

The Colts did fine with Jones. Going to have to take a swing. It got thr Bucs Baker too. Reliable staff can find someone playable for a year. We have been watching 3 years of crap so the bar couldn't get too much lower. Mediocre would look god teir at this point

Lol maybe. Clausen's delivery was so low it mad this arm looks worse than it was

I would also like to know. When I saw this in the other thread I wished he would have had a rookie slip. Good on him calling that BS out

Dave keeping a broken Dalton around tells me it's a poo show anyways. It's just more noise from Dave

WTF is Dalton not on IR with a broken thumb on his throwing hand? Cue circus music
