It is practice and audition time. I am happy to see if one of these guys can step up.

It is time to see what is what at C. Could be great for the run game.

Cleveland just proved some have not...and we were right there with them utill the end. They really should tho. I woukd rather see smaller shots. Wee bit of risk versus years of pain.

No idea but it's not a great move for them IMO. They went hard for a QB and it's not going well. This just feels like doubling down or someone is sitting on a hot seat. Just feels weird and off to me on their end. Guilt by association is real thing and those people are going to have to answer for their moves and why they are not doing better than they are at the end of the year. Just getting into the playoffs isn't enough for that crew anymore.

He was also a crutch for bad QB play and bad OCs to hide behind here. I hope he kills it there but I could also see him getting someone fired if he heads to IR in the next few weeks.

That goes both ways sir. Again, nothing definitive except Klien's sources? Not 100% yet. That needs to come from Tepper or Fritts and it has not yet.

Klein isn't Tepper and Frits hasn't said clearly he has more than anticipation and expectations on next year and the new coach. I expect it now, a lot more than yesterday. Hell I am more open to it now than I was yesterday.

Lots of reasons he would be allowed to trade CMC and from the auditioning to keep his job angle it makes a lot of sense. I'm sure teams were calling anyways so the talk was in the air either way. I think Fritterer is safer today than yesterday. There is a lot of season left and they need to make it to the finish line to truly be safe. Things change and with people like Tepper that change isn't always predictable.

Feels like a test and you are 100% right that Tepper allowed it...not sure who forced it because I can't confirm if CMC asked for the trade. That would change the dynamics of the evaluation. Too much unknown for absolutes IMO. Stinks that Wilks was never a candidate that has a chance to be able to fix or help our biggest issues. He can make the D play well but the O is beyond of his ability. He is auditioning to get back to DC IMO the rest of this year.

He also said Wilks was in that conversation and his future is very much in doubt. Unless there is more info than just that quote I am missing both possibilities exist and I have seen nothing definite yet but what you would expect from someone trying to keep their job. Last night feels like Fritts being allowed to prove just that. If he was a lock I think that answer would have been different but that is just my opinion.

He said he anticipates it but that Tepper makes those decisions. That is not a strong statement but a professional one. That does not sound like as rock-solid as the sources stated but still up in the air.

And he isn't involved in the coaching direction? His own words throw doubt on that angle.

What I read is that Fitts isn't a lock to stay yet and there isn't a locked in plan in place at this time.

He did what I needed to see so I am willing to wait and see at this point...but it's too damn close still. He had a hand in a lot of bad here. Setting up for a good offseason is not only good but it was necessary. I expect to see another trade (Shaq) at some point but he has done well from what we know in the past 2 weeks. If they can avoid giving out stupid heavy backended deals to keep players happy to stay and just limp into the offseason then we should be in a solid spot to hire a competent HC.

Moore? I thought we were talking Chinn. Moore looks dead out there and we both know why. That could swing that situation greatly if it continues to go downhill. If Chinn was also it would for him too. i don't think DJ has gone critical meltdown yet tho. Situations like this breaks plans. It is not something I am hoping for but more worried about getting out of hand. If someone doesn't want to be here enough to take the money we would have to throw at them them trade them and get someone who does. It stinks but here we are.

Because they are not on rookie deals and Chinn will still be younger on year 2 of this rebuild. He also wasn't on IR the last 2 years.

We are finally building the right way. Hire crap people like Hurney & Rhule and feel the pain while you cleanup after their messes. I only worry about an avalanch effect with players now.

Unless he throws a fit and melts down just keep him. Promise to not play him at FS next year should help.

Ballsy move by the 49ers after the Lance trade and outcome to date. I was a Petters fan when we were searching but he scares the hell out of me now. Jimmy G isn't winning a SB, CMC doesn't change that.

He was a Ferrari owned by blind men. I hope he explodes in SF and Tepper finally sees what a competent offinsive coach can do with him and how bad his coaching decisions have been under his ownership. Blow the fug up CMC.

I'm going to the game this Sunday. I haven't been since 2018 because of too many brutal reasons including what Rhule did to this team. Fug this year. It was wasted when Tepper brought Rhule back. I have more hope today than I did which is something I haven't said in years in regards to the Panthers. I loved CMC but he was just a talented RB. The rest of this year was going to stink either way. Nothing has really changed except we are better built for an important and giant offseason.

I am not sold on Friterer but he did the things we needed which was to clear up the cap some and recoup draft capital. I still don't belive in him as a GM yet but he is doing well the last week while off of his coachdaddy's leash.

Meh sending Burns away would be tanking IMO. We weren't winning with CMC and we needed draft capital. We were fugged the moment Rhule came back for year 3. This is just cleanup. Any confirmation on if CMC asked to be dealt? Kind of changes the narrative. I haven't seen any of these moves as tanking but just solid cleanup moves. We are just a bad team that wasn't set up well to win this year.

Seems fine. Would rather of had a late 1st but those are picks we can really use. Ok so now we let go one big guy so does anyone else get loud after all of this? I have no idea but I wouldn't be shocked if someone else asked out now that we have sent 2 guys away since firing the HC.
