Oh people did that the entirely of Cams career to make it appear like he wasn’t a great QB. Yeah those 700+ yards and 7+ Td’s on the ground don’t count the same as passing ones.

People need to define what “total rebuild” means to them. I bet that means a different thing to everyone. Is it a certain percentage of roster turnover? If so, that varies from person to person. Is it turnover at important positions? Is it trading all the star players? Is it old players retiring? “Rebuild” to me is when a cluster of top vets/leaders retire/are traded/are released, and you have to develop the next leaders. So “rebuild” to me happened when Cam/Luke/Olsen/Kalil/Davis/CJ/Stewart, etc. were not on the roster anymore. Sometimes rebuilds don’t work, and we will know this for sure if Bryce isn’t the answer within two years. Your rebuild has to coincide with establishing your starting quarterback, and the timeline of other key players needs to align with that QB.

You could really see the added size and strength yesterday. Tacklers were bouncing off in ways I hadn’t seen from him before. But I never disliked him as a runner…it’s always been those damn hands of his lol.

But were you screaming for Parsons as an edge? Hindsight is enormous with Parsons. There were questions with him as a stand up linebacker and I’m doubtful if someone claims they saw elite edge rusher as his direction.

Entirely turnovers were the difference. Just one of those games where every mistake we made was a turnover, and every time the falcons put the ball on the ground, it bounced back to them. Ridder had problems and looked terrible out there. If he was our QB we would be feeling awful right now even with the W.

Hill immediately came in and made a fantastic tackle (for loss?) in the flats. That was encouraging.

2015 was a season most fans never get…even Super Bowl teams. We lost only twice all year, and we were without a doubt the best team. The best Pats team was not one of Tom’s 7 Super Bowl teams either.

Players are irrelevant. “Fans” who write off, or crown players after 1 game know very little. It’s emotional. That’s it.

I saw how this place reacted to Corral after half a preseason game. The Bryce doom today shouldn’t surprise a soul.

And if I might add, it’s OKAY that he was anxious/nervous out there. He’s a rookie starting his first game. If people are seriously over Bryce this early, they are trolling or emotional and they need to be taken with a grain of salt. If people simply point out that he (or the passing game) didn’t look as advertised today; that, in itself, isn’t hate.

We don’t disagree.

Did you read the OP? Read the whole post. Read my whole post. You’re right about context. That also applies to comments you reply to. Your response seems like you read “Teddy, Darnold, and PJ are better than Bryce.” But that’s not what I said. But context be damned.

Same. Teddy, Darnold, and even PJ had better games than Bryce did today. I believe Bryce is better than all those guys, but he didn’t show it today. Let’s not pretend today was something better than what it was. If Bryce is a “super computer” like hyped to be, he will watch the tape, learn, and grow. Too early in this young man’s career to give up, but let’s call a spade a spade today.

And we just got our ass beat by a ball control team without an elite QB.

Waaaaaaay too early for this, but people definitely didn’t appreciate Wilks because people hate ball control/defensive teams, even if that is the best way to compete in the league if you don’t have an elite QB. And guess what…most of the NFL is teams without an elite QB.

I heard he hates Dunkin Donuts and Matt Damon.

Damn that’s fuged up. Comes off as a troll job. Kid didn’t even have time to unpack.

The downside is also an upside. If you sustain long drives with success, then your opponent feels the pressure to make the most of their drives, since they get fewer drives. Is there anything worse than a ball control opponent keeping the ball all game? The best defensive strategy is often not allowing the opposing offense play at all lol.

Even if Theilen and Chark miss week 1, I am confident Bryce will have better receivers than Mahomes has tonight.

It’s not sad/annoying/controversial enough to be talked about. It is very cool though.

“More NFL news” my ass!

I don’t know enough about the 49ers roster, but how would you grade Bosa’s defensive line mates compared to what Burns has had?

It would be hilarious (and enjoyable) if Burns had a 17 sack year and we get another reason to hate Rhule. I love Burns, even if he’s “2nd tier.” For having inconsistent team performance over the years, it is wild how we got used to having “Bosa” type guys pretty consistently. The Greene/Lathon years, Peppers, Jenkins (for a couple years), Smitty, Beason, Kalil, Kuechly, CMC… We have had guys for most of the history of the franchise who you could consider top 3, if not the best, in the league at their craft. Is that why some aren’t satisfied with Burns? I don’t know. Maybe not the whole reason, but maybe that’s part of it.

I’d much rather have a top 5-10 pass rusher than Moore though. So trade Burns, keep Moore, draft a pass rusher. or Trade Moore, keep Burns, draft a Mingo. Obviously there’s more to it, but an interesting debate depending on which positions hold the most value to you.
