I'm mostly curious what this means for us, if true.. I see us as being a decent destination, but there are going to be quite a few job openings, and one very close to home. He may already have an idea of where he is going.

Michigan was supposedly going to be going after him if they fired RRod too. This seems to directly state he's going to the NFL - Not just leaving Stanford.

I don't know why he would leave a contender in Standford to go rebuild a program and possibly diminish his value if he did decide to go to the NFL later. I understand he's an alum but still.

Stanford's only loss is to the best team in the country and you could make a case that if they played again Stanford would win.

If he does decide to go to the NFL, San Fran will be throwing a lot of money at him imo

What I do know is that he has been telling his staff that he is planning on staying until he wins a championship with Stanford but that may also just be typical vernacular for a guy in his situation

The 49ers are a team I expect to make a big push and possibly land him. I also think Cincy could, because they have a decent offense.

There's a lot of football left to be played, and a lot of possible coaching moves still could be made. He's by no means a shoe-in here, but I am a bit more hopeful with this information that we at least have a shot.

If it also suggests Luck is coming out, that's a good thing.

Michigan can have a strong pull for it's guys. Plus, money and all, if he didn't think he'd get what he wanted in the NFL right now.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      Passer Rating Differential: A Key to predicting a teams playoff and championship potential.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
