saX man

Kubiak and Rick Dennison got dudes to do it to perfection back in the day and their legacy lives on

Offensive splash plays. We need them, and I don’t think we have the guys that can bring them. Shi is our closest thing to a burner. If we need to move the ball quickly, I wonder how at-will we can do it. McAdoo also concerns me from a playcalling standpoint. Playbook will be dope, but we’ve never had an OC with a good feel and cadence to calling plays in line with a game’s flow. Henning, Davidson, Shula, all meh. Chud was close…maybe McA prove me wrong.

People can’t do gimmick posting right anymore, believe me, I know from experience. Well not me personally but this guy I know, he got it on wooooeee

Still haven’t today, will they be speaking to the press after practice? If not today, then it’s going to start budding in on week 1 prep

Also, Sheldon Rankins DT could be a surprise in NYJ. He’s 28, had a good 2021 but it’s an easy cap save for them with little penalty with a similar situation as DET. New regime, budding younger guys, may just not be needed.

Michael Brockers DT/DE Detroit May be cut due to needing room for the young guns there and was only serviceable/not his peak last year. Would still be a big upgrade here though and probably has 2-3 years left in the tank.

Schedule wise and maybe it would be procedural, they formally announce before practice begins, as it’s the start of the practice week with a presser and release. I’d like to hope that happens for all open competitions spot. This can’t linger into the final preseason week/prep for the real game 1

I will not however rescind my question at hand. Who is our QB? If Sam and Baker are in fact playing next week, it appears the NE week being the definite marker was farce or they can’t make up their minds. Yikes I mean, it HAS to be Baker. If it isn’t and I was Baker I would ask for an immediate release. And knowing his style, could see that happening. And then I can see most casual fans checking out before even game 1.

A funny parallel is that what Rhule is doing with Darnold and PJ is what Tepper is doing with Rhule Keeping him around, letting him do his thing, not changing for the better, but still waiting for something to click/work. I feel like they’ve walked the line between patience and proactive decisions very poorly. Top down, Tepper to Rhule. Too quick/decisive with the wrong things, too indecisive and lacking vision with the important things. Examples being the QB carousel, the staff changes, improvements to the org/media/stadium, it’s just all kind of mishmash plan-less, trying to find the next big thing. How about build a plan and execute? Like, I don’t even know the type of offense they want or are trying to build. It’s like they’re just putting random people around CMC and using him at %100000 until his next injury. I also don’t get what type of QB they’d want for their undefined offense, again it’s just like they’re plucking all types and seeing who works. It’s all just erratic and tiring. Everything, top down. Same happened with actually hiring Rhule..way too rushed a move, Tepper getting no extra help/other opinions on best candidates. Same happened with hiring Brady—“quick, biggest college name floating around…you’re hired! OC” It is bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s

That does in fact make sense. Will rescind my reaction

Wait what? We’re resting game 2 and playing game 3? Nothing we do with regime ever makes sense. They seem so reactionary to everything.

It is strange, I mean everyone knows it’s Mayfield right? Please be Mayfield. I can’t imagine the reaction if its Darnold

? Strange

I just love how jump for joy Rhule looks on the inside and Scott's face is all business, like f*ck yeah. Those two have become quite a funny couple.

That Matt & Scott high five lol

I mean come on peeps...coming off injury and nothing being done during or right after the draft, the price should be going down on him. Hopefully we stay patient. We can basically swap out final years with Darnold and Jimmy (or if it's Baker), I don't believe there's a market of a team willing to eat that 2022 money, especially when it can easily become rollover cap without a move. Let SF and CLE suffer unless they eat these contracts. Is Jimmy & Corral much different than Darnold & Corral? No, but if we can manage a swap, it's at least novel. This is something the staff would do to roll the dice somehow but it depends on how low 49ers are willing to go. It's something to really just be indifferent about at this point.

@Zod Let's wipe rep and all board data and start from scratch. That just sounds fun. Or maybe change some account names via polls. The good stuff.

I'm not really a Chubba fan. Just don't see it with him and you should pretty quickly with RBs these days. Foreman played well in relief for Henry but wasn't that special. Between the two, we have guys that can effectively fill in if CMC goes down again but I don't see one that's a 2-4 year starter. BUT we have a guy to watch out for, it's the Rhule pipeline in full effect. We landed a Rhule special as a UDFA...recruited by Matt personally, coached him (knows very well) that ended up a transferring to Penn State after Matt left for the NFL. John Lovett. That was a crowded Baylor running group and he found success at Penn State. The Baylor & PA connections are endless with this team. And dare I say, he looks more exciting than anyone on our roster aside CMC...

Thanks for this. Don't know why it took this long to know what was said haha

That being said, I don't see any FAs that are worthy to bring in. But with the recent success of 6th rounders to UDFAs, let's see what we've got. Was surprised we didn't expand Bonnafon more after that one Jags game but he must not have been clicking for full production at pratice or whatnot.

I think the RB spot is totally worthy of discussion and good thread. Outside of CMC, we don't necessarily have the personnel to deploy the same offense we run with him. We've seen that blow up into our faces like 3 years in a row. That's the oddity in what we've done is have 2 complimentary backs to backup a workhorse rather than potentially have a potential workhorse backup. The hope was that could be Hubbard but we were playing Abdullah more than anyone at the end of last season. Sam Darnold, Ameer Abdullah and Ian Thomas were running our offense those last few weeks lol. I'd like to start looking for a new unit overall because CMC's future is somewhat uncertain. If he's healthy and has a good season, then his 2023 out of the contract could actually be a good trade chip for a team that could restructure. The ideal approach would be the new current trend of not necessarily a committee, but a unit going with the hottest gamer/freshest legs every week.
