How about Steve Wilkes?

Wilks called a good game in the first 2.5 quarters.  Then he started playing soft zone and Mahomes picked them apart.   Changed it to heavy cover 0 and got picked apart there.    I think he just played Mahomes and it's really hard to beat him.

 

SF defense has probably the best talent in the entire league.  it's an embarrassment of riches on that front 7.

 

They lost because Shannahan put the ball in Purdy's hand too much.  There was no reason for him to throw the ball 38 times.   CMC should have had 10-12 more touches and SF wins.   

 

There are 10-15 other QBs that would've won that Super Bowl last night.  Purdy is fine; nothing special but a solid NFL player.  Nice pick for 262.   But I hated him ever being in the MVP discussions.  it was stupid.

Sure seems like you're trying awfully hard to put words in people's mouths. Why?

I think Purdy is a JAG but a JAG starting QB with the last pick in the draft is a phenomenal steal. I get why a lot of people like him even though I think it's pretty clear he's the limiting factor for that team.

I beg to differ. The words I just saw paint the picture without any help from me.

As one poster put it succinctly they like a QB who doesn't make a spectacle of themselves.

Heard that all before.

I'll leave it at that.

Always love it when folks reach for narratives to fit their biases. And it's usually both camps pointing at each other like the Spiderman meme.

Wtf does that have to do with claiming Wilks called a good game and should have been our HC? You’re acting like that loss contradicts my point. It doesn’t.

Spag also called a great game and is a terrible HC. Being a good DC doesn’t make you a good HC. He mostly called drop back coverages and let his loaded front 4 handle the pressure. KC adjusted in the end and SF did not. That’s all part of it.

There are only 3, maybe 4 QBs who can win the Super Bowl. How do you suggest the 49ers should improve Brock Purdy. Trade for Joe Burrow or Josh Allen? Like be real here 

they won't do it but they'd be better off with Cousins

Spags is amazing.  Doesn't get enough credit.   Shut down NE with NYG 2x.      And then smothered SF in the 2nd half against SF with 4 first team All-Pros on offense.

 

Apparently by DVOA,   this SF team and the 2007 NE Patriots are the 2 best teams that didn't win the super bowl.  Both beat by Spags defense.

They won't do it because Minnesota isn't letting him go.  And SF can build that roster because Purdy is on a nothing contract.  Having Kirk's salary would blow that up.

 

Once he (Purdy) gets paid anything, that teams window is SHUT.

Not sure I've seen a better group of skill players since the Warner Rams... Kittle top 3-5 TE, has an argument for best TE. McCaffrey best RB in the league undoubtedly. Aiyuk top 5-10 WR. Deebo top 10-15 WR. Juszcyk best FB in the league by far and an incredible blocker and runner/receiver.

Plus a top 5 OL and top 5 offensive coaching easily. Embarrassment of riches and I don't understand how anyone could have him in the MVP conversation with that supporting cast propping him up.

I really just don't understand folks blaming Wilks. They held KC to 19 points in regulation. The Niners didn't score enough points.

No one is blaming Wilks. He just didn’t perform some miracle nor does this make him a great HC candidate. He let his loaded DL do work and did drop back coverages. That worked great. KC just adjusted to it in the end. It is what it is.

And then you have a top 3 defense on the other side.  It's wild how much talent they have.

    • CHARLOTTE — A funny thing happened in the locker room after Sunday's loss to the Eagles. There wasn't an immediate rush to the door. Usually, after a road game, particularly a road loss, guys shower quickly, change, and head for the bus that takes them to the airport. And it's not that guys were lingering, but there was a clear sense of camaraderie after that game, which you don't always see. After head coach Dave Canales spoke to the team and went back to his office to change for the flight, guys began to gather. Canales mentioned that Chuba Hubbard had topped the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. People came to congratulate him. Hubbard then thanked his offensive line, and people came to congratulate them. And that circle kept growing. It wasn't just the starting five, but backup guard and eligible extra blocker Chandler Zavala was part of it; injured center Austin Corbett was on the trip and he got pulled into the group. Like a rock dropped into a still pond, the ripple kept expanding, bringing more and more guys into the recognition. It wasn't a party — they know they lost, and close isn't enough — but it was a growing number of people engaged in a shared purpose. And you could sense the difference. Canales didn't tell them to congregate, it happened organically. And that's the important part. This team is beginning to internalize his message, say his words back, and get closer to the goals that were abstract concepts at the beginning of the season. They know the expectation and that they're still short of it. But they can also see that the work is beginning to pay off, and that's drawing them closer together.   https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-coming-together-getting-closer
