Great win.....injuries on oline....now what?

Jeff Byers carted off...Chris Scott hurt...Nate Chandler playing guard (ouch).......how to we handle this if god forbid they are both out? Great win today and it feels great.....but this could be a serious issue starting now. Hard to believe that we are worried about Byers/Scott being lost..,but the backups to the backups are even worse.What do we do? Who is out there?

All I can say is 49ers D is licking their chops right now. Cam might be a dead man next Sunday. I hope not, but we have some major trouble on the oline right now.

Everyone thought carolina would feast on Ryan too. It all depends on how you scheme for the talent you have.

My biggest gripe with Gettleman. He stood by too long on our o line. No excuses.

 

To be fair we've lost Kugbila, Silotolu, Williams and now Scott and Byers.  Thats 5 freaking guards, theres a heck of a lot of bad luck there.

 

Scott and Wharton have been playing real well and Gettleman brought them in.  He got us some depth, its just unfortunate that it isn't enough.

Please don't remind me about the Kugbila pick, it was a desperate reach to begin with. Zero offensive starters currently drafted since Cam got here. It's all about depth. I just would have liked to see more urgency from him regarding something so crucial to our success.

    • It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.
    • I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt. 
    • That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
