    Trust me, I would like to rank Canales if he was put in a better situation but it's going to be a long road but at least it looks like Tepper may stay out of the operations side and just let Morgan and Canales do their thing... Hopefully it translates.

    I will say that this new structure gives me 49ers vibes. Morgan as GM is basically Lynch. We got a young, promising HC in Canales (Shanahan), his right hand man in Idzick (McDaniels), and a rising star DC in Evero (Ryans). Not saying they will be as good as a 49ers but I feel like that is who they are emulating.

    I wonder who will be our Adam Peters

    Im seeing people say Bozeman. Other than being a nice guy, what has he done this year? He's getting beat like a drum every week. 

    we know what he and the rest of the line can do, we've seen it last year and especially towards the end of the season...they were a bunch of mothertruckers moving people and creating lanes; then Frank came and blew it up, installed scheme that did not suit the players and the rest is history

    Wish me luck boys, , I don't get out much. My daughter graduates the Marines on the 15th. My son and I are headed to Charlotte for Monday night football. Planes, car rentals, hotels all scary to me!

    Best of luck, calm nerves and enjoy !

    For sure, Cam suffered a shoulder injury in a similar fashion when he was chasing the Chargers defender down. But the point is, Young already has an injury history, a shoulder injury nonetheless, and as the team doctor mentioned, he hasn’t taken a bunch of big hits. So the question is, will his body hold up when he does take big hits?

    Only way to find out the answer to that question is to wait and see when he takes the big hits. But yeah, I would say that he might be more susceptible to injury than let's say "average" built QB (in terms of the measurables).

    I think there might be a line where if you get hit, the hit would have such a force and would be delivered in such a way that the QB measurables will go out the window and any QB will get injured regardless of their respective measurables (well, maybe not a QB that is built like a tank, but you get the point). But I see and understand the concern that a lot of people have that with Young's size, that line might be set lower.

    One thing that can be investigated and measured is this: why he hasn't taken a bunch of big hits ?
    Is it due to the competition he faced in college ? Was his offensive line that good as to not allow defenders to come near him ? Or is he that aware and elusive that even if there was a potential hit on the way and the defender was in the backfield, he identified it in time and avoided being hit - either by getting rid of the ball fast, moving in the pocket or scrambling and evading the defender ?

    If anything, I’d say the team doctors’ comments warrant more concern rather than alleviating it.

    So Young has already suffered from a sprained AC joint, and as the team doctor mentioned, it wasn’t from a big hit… it was from a routine play that could easily happen at least once a game. So what happens when he actually gets lit up?


    Young’s size is a concern just like Stroud’s test score, anyone saying otherwise is kidding themselves.

    To be fair, that injury on the video could happen to anybody, regardless of their size. He just had a bad luck I guess in the way he landed on the shoulder. If he was heavier, the injury might be even worse, since a greater body mass would be falling on that shoulder. On the other hand, argument could be made that if he was heavier, his shoulder would be also bigger and therefore could take on the impact better.
