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).

When will people realize being a DC is way different from being a HC? We never needed a beta-Rivera clone.

Beta, No. Rivera clone, x100.

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.

[frankw]

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.
