Watch Kyle Shanahan turn Darnold into a Pro Bowler

[Dorian Gray]

Enduring one of Adam Gase and Matt Rhule would set you back years, but BOTH? I feel bad for the dude. I don't think he's a Pro Bowler either, but I'm rooting for him to succeed (unless it's against us). Seems like a solid team player.

If he’s such a miracle worker as a coach, why has Lance looked like crap when he’s been on the field? 

In the how many games has he started? 4?

The 49ers defense has been absolutely gutted this offseason. I think they take a pretty significant step back.

They lost some guys but their defense still looks pretty damn good to me. They replaced some with arguably better players too like Jovan Hargrave. And I wouldn't doubt John Lynch's ability to draft a few good defensive players even without early picks. Their safety Hufanga was a 5th round pick in 2021 and had a good season.

Maybe for a few games but eventually Sam will do what Sam does.

Probably, but just in case Darnold goes elite on the 9ers ... you might want to look into some blood pressure medicine lol. Same for me if we draft AR.

Well, if he doesn’t get hurt and they challenge that catch, it’s a different game. Don’t know if they win but once he was hurt they had 0 chance. Even I was wondering why they didn’t challenge since it was game changing and it looked funny. Just use a timeout to at least see it because if it’s not a catch it’s a punt on 4th instead of a TD.

that play was on 4th down btw. but yes lets continue to suck off Shanahan and say he's the best HC ever. lmao

If they can make Mr. Irrelevant look like a Pro Bowler I suppose anything is possible.

No coach can put in what God has left out..............

I liked Sam. I liked what I saw towards the end of the season. I think he can and will make a strong come back. 

[NAS]

Is Darnold suddenly going to retrain his brain to process information more quickly and make faster and better decisions? He can make marginal improvements via coaching but I think he is who he is. He will have great games when he can make easy reads but otherwise will struggle to perform consistently

That system is perfect for Sam's skillsets. If he can keep those turnovers and Yolo throws to a minimum he could make that huge jump there.

Sam has NFL arm talent. With Shanahan I can see him being a productive starter. Looked to me like he left it all out there on the field when he was with us so I certainly wish him well.

Man yall give these coaches way too much credit.

 

Darnold played well with us under Wilks. Now you give him a way better roster with all those weapons of course he is going to play like a pro bowler.

 

He doesn't have to do much just get the ball to their playmakers CMC/Deebo/Kittle.

It all seems easy doesn't it?

It isn't, though.

[csx]

He hasn't done it with anyone else why expect it now?
