49ers offense was bad the entire game.

 

Expecting Wilks to save them the entire game + overtime was asking for trouble.

 

Purdy is a game manager.

I don't think the 49ers offense was quite as bad as you say.  They played pretty well, it wasn't like they didn't move the ball.  The game went to OT!

The sad part is the Chiefs are going to likely add a big time WR in FA.

 

This team isn't going anywhere as long as Mahomes is around. This sucks as a NFL fan. Didn't think we would see another dynasty after the Patriots.

Yeah, as long as Mahomes is that dude they're gonna be right there. Reid retiring would be a big curve ball but it's not like they wouldn't have their pick of the litter for their next coach. Kelce retiring would be big.

But yeah, I expect them to go weapon shopping this season. They gotta find a RT too. That dude is trash.

The crazy thing is I don't know if ANYONE knew who Patrick Mahomes was before he was drafted outside of Texas Tech fans. One day I would really like to hear/see the in depth story of how Mahomes was scouted on and ultimately picked by the Cheifs.

He wasn't some random though, many had him as a 1st rounder, walterfootball (just an easy quick reference) had him 3rd behind Trubisky and Watson and had him projected 1st round. 

Also the story of the Chiefs' scouting on him has already come out to some degree. I'll see if I can find an article but Brett Veach before he was GM was scouting some Texas Tech OL and saw Mahomes and started pounding down everyone's door there to get him for a few years. Ultimately they listened to him and he got promoted to GM and the rest is history...

Yeah, he was considered a legit 1st rounder. Everyone raved about his arm talent and backyard football abilities but everyone also rightfully questioned how that would translate to the NFL. That style of play has always meant having to stomach high turnover numbers before Mahomes showed up. The guy is a cheat code. You're not supposed to be able to play like he does without turning the ball over.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
