There are things to be positive about going forward. I know people have been down on Canales playcalling and probably he does need to hand over the reigns to his OC and take more of a overseeing approach next season given this was all a first time head coach learning experience for him. But he has shown IMO to be the coach for the future we hoped he would all things considered. Like you said we have the OL in place we just need to add a talent infusion to the defense and probably another offensive weapon and this team should be ready to compete. The final piece is adding another young QB to duke it out with Bryce. And I just hope to hell Canales sees it the same way and is able to pinpoint the guy he wants with support from Morgan.

Obviously no one has a crystal ball to predict injuries but good RB's can and have been had in the 4th and 5th rounds. At one point earlier in the season with McCaffrey out the 49ers had an at the time league leading running back who was undrafted. You simply don't have to sink a pick in the first 2 rounds to get a productive back anymore. Chuba Hubbard was a 4th round pick. He's pretty good no?

It really is true that outside of the occasional dogfight rival game this division is mediocre at best on a good day. Brees and Payton gone Ryan gone Brady gone. And all we've been doing is flailing around under the Tepper's when we should have a guaranteed playoff spot against this lot.

Saw this coming a mile away as an inevitability when they signed him and drafted Penix. He's washed.

Reading his post history he didn't think Teddy Bridgewater was the answer either but he's dying on this hill about Bryce haters. And just for reference Teddy Bridgewater averaged 248.9 passing yards per game in 2020 which would be good for 9th in the NFL this season while folks like him are enamored over Bryce finally averaging 213 passing yards per game. He's clowning himself here.

With the Tepper's involved in the decision making process I'm absolutely prepared for it.

He takes the weirdest positions on roster discussions. I'd much rather have a young franchise Center for that second round pick we used than an RB who has torn his ACL in the same knee twice already at 21 years old.

All I know is we cannot go into next season with no real semblance of competition for Bryce Young. That would be a huge middle finger to the fanbase after what we've already endured just the last few years.

That is not impressive anymore man wake up.

Trying to tell other people how to live when you don't even have the testicular fortitude not to shamelessly bandwagon. That's cute bro. Olsen is a damn good TE. He hit the lottery too with Cam. I think what Olsen accomplished is very admirable considering he had average wheels at best. He is a very sharp guy and his football IQ his attention to detail and work ethic got him the accolades he has now. Good for him. I'll always speak highly of him. Doesn't matter how he compares to GOAT's at his position.

He was 2nd behind Gronk by a distance of here to the moon.

The gap between Gronk and Graham is clear for anyone who watched them both play. Gronkowski played in 54 less games and had 741 more yards. They do not belong in the same convo. Graham has Brees to thank for even being within earshot of all time great TE's.

Graham is overrated. Tony Gonzalez shits all over him. Even Ertz isn't far behind Jimmy.

Bryce Young is not Drew Brees. If I could put that in a really big font I would because it needs emphasizing to some of you once and for all. For the record. More often than not Brees main weapon was his OL. And as much as we dislike Sean Payton his scheme was also part of that. Here's the list of receivers Brees had. Now look at the names. And ask yourself. Outside of Colston. Who made who? And even Colston is only 63rd on the all time receiving yardage list. Brandin Cooks will pass him within the next season. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/new-orleans-saints-and-wide-receiver-stats-with-drew-brees

The whole justification for trading what we did to draft Bryce Young was that he was so good we would not have to surround him with elite talent across the offense. If we have to do that for him to even be slightly average then guess what? We need competition at QB.

I mean this respectfully. But what team have you been watching???? We are currently 29th in passing yards per game and 32 out of 32 in total yards per game. We are also 28th in points per game. This after investing 150 million in the OL in free agency trading up in the first and second rounds for offensive skill players and hiring an offensive minded head coach. All to benefit Bryce Young. We can talk about the defense all day long but whatever we do with that side of the ball it is crystal clear that the offensive side of the ball has to do much much better in what is ultimately an offensive league.

Kyle Allen averaged 255.5 back in 2019 which would put him 7th in the NFL this season. I mean we've lowered the bar so much for a first overall pick it's simply laughable.

Cam Newton looked like a man amongst boys even when our defense was poo in 2011. But it needs to be said that the current defense is not as bad as some people are making it out to be. They have put this offense in position to win. But even if we did have a "great" defense it would still be tough to overcome 4 turnovers. That's what this discussion has been about.

Baker is mainly the same guy. He always had prerequisite talent and intangibles and had played at a highish level before but he was just a cocky asshat who got humbled harshly here. But he is still hot and cold at best and we've seen that firsthand. Darnold is a bit different he's taken a big step forward that I wasn't sure he ever would. He got humbled here too for sure. And then he got sent packing from the 49ers. Clearly something has clicked after all that. But he's also playing in a situation that has high end talent and coaching. I do not think he would have ever been that here. Anywho I'm not for looking in the rear view anymore. What's already done is done. We need to keep developing our core and bring in another young QB to develop in the offseason and build up the rest of the roster.

Selfish basketball. So much for that brief glimmer of hope earlier in the season.

Nissan in the 80's and 90's generally were extremely reliable vehicles. Nissan engines and transmissions for the last 20 years or so however are hit and miss at best. I would be highly skeptical of any hype but that's just me.

If Cam Newton were 23 years old in this iteration of the league where the bar for franchise QB play is about as low as I've seen it in a long time he would absolutely have his way with defenses make no mistake.

He did all throughout camp this year and it was so bad it actually gave us the mistaken impression our defense was formidable.

Allen is more accurate we all know that was one of Cam's biggest knocks throughout his career. Although in 2018 he looked to be changing that for the better until well you know. But Josh Allen still has to get past Patrick Mahomes. Good luck with that is all I can say.

We used to say this when Cam was still the starter. Needless to say we're a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng way from that. Now we have what looks like at current best case scenario a solid backup caliber QB we selected #1 overall. And still there are some people deadset against even the thought of adding a young QB to a current QB room comprised of Andy Dalton and Jack Plummer lol.
