I'll be damned. Alex Armah is making his case

Yeah, I walked away from his performance yesterday concerned...  not because of his performance, but because he put us in a tough position.  He is clearly the better athlete with a ton of pop in his pads compared to Young.  But, I watched him closely when he was in, and he still has to develop the technical aspects of being a full-time FB...  for instance, I watched him make a great lead block on a run, then a few plays later, he completely whiffed on his assignment and the run got blown up in the backfield by the guy he whiffed on.  But, I think he is the more dangerous weapon of the two FB candidates, even now.  If he can grow into a consistent blocker...  wow.

Better than Tolbert.

Not defending Tolbert as a great but, better than Tolbert, dang, getting old around here is dangerous.  Did you forget all the times you cheered when he bowled people over.  Why not evaluate him without throw "shade" at others that busted their azz for us.

I define anything negative about Tolbert as 2015 and beyond Tolbert, not dominating Tol-dozer.

The kid looked good and I hope to see him do his thing on Sundays.

  As guy get old they begin to suck, cut them, trade them or retire them, but move on, don't bash them is my thing.

  Yeah, he should have been gone a few yrs ago, but he didn't stink the whole time is my point.

He had one good year in 2013 then sucked the rest of his time here.

We used to carry 2 FBs all the time when Brockel was here. I can easily see us carry 2 again this year.

In the grand scheme of things carrying extra players at these types of positions will minimize are depth at more import ones like DE. Safety. WR...

not to mention most importantly special teams play lags because unathletic guys like a Tolbert or Darrell young have to play to keep value.. we already have a long snapper who is a liability.. small things like this are exposed when you face teams with true return specialist..

Agree. Carrying two FBs is a waste.

I say we move on from this Mike Tolbert clone(Darrell Young) and let the young bul loose..

Young is nothing like Tolbert at all. He is a pure FB . I too want Armah to be the future but that is a bad comparison

I dont see the point in carrying 2 unless 1 can be usedin special teams.  I imagine with armah playing defense in college that he could play special teams, but id rather him start

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By Basbear · Posted

      Im not firm on many things football, but this statement or belief or strategy I am 100% for. Full Offseason the goal is to make the playoffs. Week 1, 1000% I want to win. Weeks 2-10,  1000% I want to win. Until the math stats 0.000000000% chance at NO playoffs, I want to win. *Once* there's no chance at the playoffs, I want to 100% lose every game until the end. You are still loser at 2-15 or 5-12, I want to never lose like this again. I want the best value for losing and suffering. Again the only goal is playoffs. Once in the playoffs anything can happen, I want to win the whole dam show. If you happen to lose in the first round, that's perfectly fine and lets work hard this upcoming off-season to get another chance to make them.  This is the ONLY way to play in the NFL. Anyone not understanding this method of strategy, please call your doctor for a visit...

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Purdy's good but at the end of the day you're paying first class money for a business class seat.  It's a big problem with the salary cap.  QBs take most of it whether they are Pat Mahomes or not.

      Purdy saved the 49ers from that three 1st picks for Trey Lance. People forget that. People also forget he should have MVP votes for the 23 season. He's been any where from the 8th(his best/23) to 14th ranked QB, he's legit and guys around top 10 get paid as QBs.....guys in 28th get paid too, he's 4x the QB Trevor Lawrence is and better than BY by miles as well...even without CMC, Samuel(whos a RB playing WE), and half the OL.    *BUT*    You non-believers missed this ultra important mistake that honestly made me reconsider all the praise I gave him. https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/49ers-qb-brock-purdy-throws-blind-40-percent   That's is damming to my case and reset my thinking of his. That's nuclear scary now and I need some time.  too honest for me to overlook.
