Holding out hope for a Mahomes type player to hit is farfetched. Hoping to draft a Mahomes is closer to winning the lottery than finding a good starter as even top 10 QB picks still fail 50%+ of the time (looking at you BY). There's maybe 1 Mahomes level player every 10–15 years and the chance we pick one is 1 in 2,500.

Chiefs Alex Smith or 49 Alex Smith, so you're saying there's a chance we might get Kappernick??!

dear god...I hope not.  I dont mind anything about the protest or anything but Kaepernick succckkked.  He was a singular read QB.  I watched the guy throw for like 50 yards in a game because his first read was never open (yes...Im aware about Bryce young...Im not sold on him either).  In all honesty I think the "protest" began with him throwing a temper tantrum because he was benched for blaine Gabbart (jesus christ you have to be BAAAAD for that to happen).  I think he made up an excuse after he pouted on the sideline and it caught fire.  That said, I dont mind bringing attention to the issues he did, and in fact I love how he went out and did things like help get ex black inmates suitable clothing to get jobs after incarceration, great poo.  However, after that, football became a secondary thing to him and frankly, should be if he cares about the issue.

 

I've used a lot of words to say, please god dont let us get a colin Kaepernick 1 read then run QB, todays NFL would absolutely break that dude in half.

It was right at the end of his SF time.

Hence why it makes zero sense to extend Bryce. If your ceiling is Alex Smith(Bryce has nothing near that as his ceiling) then there is no reason to invest in that.

Let's focus on building a team for the future Pat Mahomes, not Alex Smith.

He got markedly better under Harbaugh

Alex Smith was a more efficient passer and had a higher YPA.

They are comparable in some ways but at 6'4 213 Alex Smith was not limited the way Bryce is.

How was Alex Smith his first 3 seasons? How did he compare to Bryce?

This is a fair point, but I think people are forgetting just how bad the 49ers were back then.  They were getting a top 5 pick every year for like a decade. Alex Smith was selected by the worst team in football. Bryce Young MADE US the worst team in football.  Huge difference.

We were ass before Bryce arrived then they took away our best two weapons. Have you forgotten DJ Chark as the #1 WR?

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By strato · Posted

      We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
