Are people going to watch this? Considering we don't have a rookie, Frank's not playing, and it's meaningless.

Just posted something about that.  The roster is hot garbage.  Not having a draft pick in there really makes a difference in interest.

I doubt two possessions in the first SL game will decide a player's fate

No it doesn't, but i wasnt a big fan last year either.  It's now almost halftime and he has looked like one of the worst players on the floor so far.

Deshaun Thomas can play

Yeah, I tried to post this exact thing sometime in the second quarter, but I was on my phone and the quote system/formatting messed up so I couldn't...  I always thought he was just a hustle/role player guy who maxed out his potential in college...  I also didn't remember him being able to shoot from deep.  So, that was a pleasant surprise.

I'm also interested to see how Paul plays over the rest of the week...  As far as Harrison, he is the same player I thought he was last year, difference is in this SL, he doesn't have several NBA-level players to play off of, and it shows.  I was hoping he had progressed some since last year with a full season practicing and sporadically playing in the league, but he doesn't look good at all right now.

    • First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
    • Haha I was still off was thinking of mac jones he has done extremely well this year with basically no weopons as all the 49ers are hurt except for mcaffrey but he is playing slow this year for some reason.
