I'll add this...

I love a good story as much as anyone but Shanahan and Lynch probably need to let go of the idea that they can win championships with Brock Purdy.

He's a good quarterback, but not a great one.

kyle shanahan needs to be OC, or have an OC that can over rule him. cause they again let one go that should not have. It wasnt brock or ryan at fault either loss. Maybe like his dad, Kyle gets it after this one, but idk. like his pops, run the ball with TD got 2 SBs and elway made the plays they needed. could rode the offensive player of the year and a good/great line to this one too. Also had 3 bad breaks tonight, CMC fumbled, the punt hitting a cover guy, blocked PAT. idk how thats brock. brock did more than enough tonight.

He would look like Kyle Allen here without his 4 elite weapons, elite OL and elite offensive HC (yes Shanahan has some poor in game decision making but he is an incredible offensive mind. Hell he got Matt friggin Ryan an MVP).

I don't think Wilks lost the game if the extra kick hadn't been blocked they would have won

Maybe, but at the same time, if the xp had been made then KC plays the last drive in regulation differently. Instead of kicking the field goal from inside the 10, they have at least one and maybe two shots at a td.  Mahomes with two shots at the end zone inside the ten yard probably means they have at least a 50/50 chance at a td.

If you blaming Wilks after watching that game you clearly don't know football.

 

Purdy is simply not elite at QB. The Niners had a better offense and defense. They loss the most important battle the QB position!

 

Put any other elite QB with that talent and this SB isn't even close. Niners need to find a real QB and stop depending on these QB's who can't win the big game.

It's no excuses why the 49ers shouldn't have won that game.

Don't know that I'd go that far.

I give Wilks credit for calling a good game overall but in the end it wasn't quite good enough.

It was the equivalent to a team giving up a lead via multiple penalties and defensive collapse and then blaming the kicker for not nailing a 60 yarder to win the game by less than a score.

Because the Chiefs made adjustments and marched down the field their final 2 possessions. One settled for a FG due to time and the next was the game winner. Mahomes also had 400 total yards. So yeah… 

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.

Overall I do not blame Wilks for the loss. For the most part his defense was damn good. That final drive though he and the rest of them got schooled rough though.

What the game boiled down to was despite the cries by some "player only" fans here that McCaffrey was robbed of league MVP he actually wasn't. You need that elite QB or it's all for nothing.

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 

Purdy is Kirk Cousins tier at best. For where he was drafted? That's pretty good.

But hardly anyone had Mahomes or Allen as the best QB's in their respective drafts.

I don't know why there are so many Purdy fans here. I have suspicions. But they can kick rocks until September all the same.

My “suspicion” is that the dude was drafted dead last and people like a good underdog story. He also generally seems humble, not making a spectacle of himself which is also a quality people appreciate.

Some just like him because CMC plays for them.

Some are dug in on Purdy because they like his "Rudy" story of ascendance from a QB not in the usual physical mold who can show QB's like Lamar Jackson who don't actually deserve MVP how to play the position. Call it what it is.

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.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
