Winning and losing are a team stat.
Good to know we've made this official after ten years of complaints about the fashion sense and showboating from a certain quarterback who definitely should have dove on that fumble.

You have a nightmare with reich as OC??
I think hes one of best options for OC, in the current market......if not for the jets being the old jets and axing lafleur, id say hes the best.
Moreso a Wilks/Caldwell combo. Reich is better but not by a wide margin. He may have gotten a raw deal in Indy but he was a part of that mess on offense we can’t totally dismiss it. I'm just of the opinion we don't tie ourselves to aging coaches that are being left behind by the changing NFL.

Agreed. I think if Wilks is the guy, I would not at all be surprised if one of Caldwell or Reich ends up being the OC in Carolina.
Sounds like a nightmare scenario tbh.

You are right. Racism is racism. No need for a reverse moniker.
I've seen plenty of takes from you in the past downplaying legit examples so I'll just say your insinuation here rings hollow at best. Hiding behind Katt Williams is beneath you.

After seeing the results of the Wilson and Watson trades so far there's no way the Raiders are going to find a trade partner they will have to cut him.

There's a reason why he was considered the 'face of the franchise'...he was the closest thing to a superstar we had, and the most universally respected player across the league, media, etc. So looking at a team coached by Matt Rhule and quarterbacked by guys like Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, PJ Walker, and Teddy Bridgewater, and singling out CMC like "that's the guy who shoulders the blame for our 5-win seasons" is just odd to me. Whether intentional or not, you and frank are deflecting blame from the real culprits like Rhule who do warrant the brunt of criticism for these 5 win seasons.
It's interesting to see the shifting narrative about certain players. If you like the player, then it's "we failed ________ and didn't put a good team around him". If you dislike the player, then it's "look, we only won X number of games with _______ - he couldn't even put the entire team on his back and will the team to the playoffs by himself".
First off come on nobody is giving Rhule a pass the man is despised across the Carolinas. We also had 5 wins with Kyle Allen and CMC before Rhule got here. You can't make an RB the face of your franchise and expect to compete for championships. You don't put a good team around a running back you identify your QB and then you put a good team around that guy. We signed CMC to a historic deal with no quarterback. It sounds so ludicrous it bares repeating. We signed a running back to an historic deal before we even had a starting QB. Some fans wanted McCaffrey to be more than he was. They talked about him as if he were a quarterback. Well he wasn't. The 49ers are doing so well because they went out and got Jimmy Garropolo then they traded up for Lance and even after all that they still drafted Brock Purdy for due diligence. Meanwhile we had fans here who were about ready to have a parade when we signed McCaffrey to that contract extension. Well... reality bites.

I have to think with a new staff on the horizon we'll have a kicker competition. Pinero got a ton of a grief from that game just like Slye Gano and Kasay before him. If you look at other teams many of them are changing kickers every few years there are far fewer long term clutch steady kickers now.

Some of them have already been asked to change teams, specifically by you.
And no, I don't tie any player to their team's win-loss record because as I've said repeatedly, teams win and teams lose. Win percentage is not a player stat, not even for quarterbacks.
And yes, you have wanted to see McCaffrey fans sad because of Newton. It's incredibly ignorant, but It's your thing, you've stuck with it and justified it over and over again.
You'd be smarter to just drop it.
No you aren't going to lay into me with these claims and then say you have always said it's a team sport. We both know that's not true Scot cut it out.
And they should be. McCaffrey fans are not Panthers fans. He is a 49er. When Newton became a New England Patriot the very same things were said here then too. And people who openly talked about his new team were asked to take it elsewhere. You are not keeping the same energy you and I both know it. But that's fine. That's your right.

Sounds like a potential Wilks staff lol. Bring back Turner as OC and keep Holcombe as DC...
I really like Wilks he's a great guy. I just do not want to end up back at square one again like we did with Rivera by hiring another DC. And unlike Ron I do not see a Cam Newton in the draft to save the day for Wilks and hitch his wagon to for several years. Give me the offensive mind who can make things work with what limited options they have at QB for the time being and go out and hire an experienced defensive coordinator to hold down that side of the ball. But I want our bread and butter to become scoring points not holding leads. It's been years with that. Time to switch it up.

But your logic of "I want Christian McCaffrey fans to be unhappy because Cam Newton fans were unhappy"
Never said that. Said keep the same energy for your favorite offensive players. Cam Newton and Christian McCaffrey are two offensive players who have touched the football for the Carolina Panthers a whole hell of a lot of times over the last several years. And you are one of the folks who has forever tied Cam Newton to his record as a starter the last 20 or so games while just putting a cover over what he accomplished before that. But hey at the end of the day that's fair in sports it's a what have you done for me lately league. And again that same energy extends to #22's time here. Just like it was best for Newton to move on it was best for him too.
So the big question from here for me is this. If the 49ers win it all we know for sure there will be some very loud and proud McCaffrey fans who will let us all know about it even though it will hurt our team (via the draft position of the picks from the trade). So will those fans be asked by folks like yourself to make the jump to a new team to follow their favorite player?

I like when guys who get called out for being "racist" on here tell us they like Moose, Smitty, Beason, Minter, Cam, etc. You have to admit though, you liked my clever Chrysler 300 bit.
Reverse racism isn't a thing you can spam 100 Katt Williams videos.

he's not that good of a passer
Compared to what? He definitely isn't dumping passing yards but he has a career 63.7 completion percentage and had 36 passing touchdowns just a few years ago. I get if people aren't interested due to what he would cost. But when some folks are convincing themselves Sam Darnold is worth keeping around but Lamar Jackson isn't a good passer I have to chuckle at the huddle.

ALSO, why would Baltimore be willing to let him go if he is the type of QB that can win you a championship? That is a good front office who know what they are doing. If they don't see the future for him ( with a guaranteed contract ) why should Carolina jump on it?
Well any GM that likes being employed wouldn't just punt a former MVP for nothing and even if they do get a haul he's hitching his wagon to a rookie QB after such a move. Great way to end up looking for a new gig fairly quickly.

Frank can't help himself. I wonder if there is something more to him not liking CMC?
I don't worship the ground he walks on because he is rare for the position he plays so clearly I hate just hate all white guys lol. Tell that to Kevin Greene Dan Morgan Ricky Proehl Brad Hoover Steve Beuerlein Jake Delhomme Brenston Buckner Luke Kuechly Ryan Kalil Greg Olsen even John Kasay despite the kick heard round the world.

He led the league in touches his banner year and the next two seasons was on pace to do the same. That doesn't compare to DJ Moore or Brian Burns because one plays defense (hello?) and the other is not touching the football even half as much. That's why the 5 wins is mentioned often. If you give your main weapon who many herald as a future hall of famer that many touches and time and time again he comes up short (happened multiple times on key fourth down attempts) then yeah people are going to ask what we're doing. The post-trade results do all the talking. People can say Fields name all they want it doesn't change the facts of the situation as it pertains to the Panthers predicament they found themselves in. Now that we have moved on from both that and Rhule things look far less bleak. Hopefully we can and will get back to having a balanced offense.

What about Scott Turner? He's been around the league his whole life, so he probably has plenty of connections. Maybe he can put together a young staff that can add some much-needed energy to this stogy old place.

Steichen is very intriguing as well. Between he and Johnson these are two swing for the fences hires. It's got to be one or the other at this point I'll accept either.

Oh, please. You camp out in every McCaffrey thread.
Actually I had yet to even see this thread until a gentleman not unlike yourself who says he enjoys staring at pictures of McCaffrey in his free time inquired regarding my whereabouts. Maybe you two should compare notes.

Keep projecting. You have a temper tantrum and throw out the race card whenever anyone says he deserves something. Sounds like you're the mad one. I don't care if he wins it or not.
You're quicker than anyone to criticize or lob attacks and insults, but every time -- every time -- someone asks you to break down your opinion, like, "What makes a good backup QB?" you magically disappear or resort to the same tired, pathetic little insults.
Deep down, you know you've got nothing of substance to offer, so these sad retorts -- some of them are even recycled from poster to poster -- are all you've got.
So toss out a few more of them in your next quoted reply, so it can make you feel better.
You care so little that you steamrolled into this thread shouting my username when I had yet to even interact with you. Yet it's me throwing the tantrum and insults. You very obviously have not moved on. I used to feel the same way after the 2015 core slowly faded into obscurity. But time heals all guy. You'll be okay just take a breather. If replying to me with these love letters is your way of coping I'm here to help

In that scenario pass on both and draft your QB.
