I like his math.

Bozeman is making a definitive difference. I hope he doesn't hold Rhule's dumbassery against our franchise and will still be willing to re-sign with us.

1) I don't think so. CMC has good speed, but not guaranteed breakaway speed. He's probably a bit faster than Foreman, but not by much, and also, Foreman was still fighting off tackles for about 40 yards of that 60 yard run before he got completely behind the defense. And 2) Even if that's the case, we still would've lost. We saw what this team looked like with a single RB being the focal point of the offense and it was losing football. Force feeding CMC often ended up being to our own detriment (and his), no matter how talented he was. All due respect, this is a better team collectively without CMC. RB-focused offenses are a thing of the past, and making your offense in that mold is setting yourself up for failure. I guarantee, he will be used so much more creatively in SF that his workload will be lesser and yet, his production will probably be just as good while working in a rotation. He was used like a workhorse here, and again, that's guaranteed failure in today's NFL.

How can you not love everything you're seeing from our team today? Every reason to give up and tank, and they don't. They are attacking and setting the tone. Guys we've been waiting on to develop under Rhule stepping out all at once today and showing up big. TMJ made a couple nice grabs, Chubba went from looking like a non-NFL player to a fuging stud with amazing vision, Foreman, Tremble, and fuging PJ! DJ back to commanding the defense's attention snd looking like his old self again. Also cant be understated how good Bozeman has looked. Not to mention the defense in its entirety.

PJ is dropping some fuging dimes.

This game is perfectly illustrating why you don't invest exorbitant assets into RB... For as great as CMC is individually, you can get that production from others just as easily for a lot less investment.

I'll say it again... this team is playing for Coach Wilks! And I love it!!! Defense is attacking and dictating (aside from the first few plays of that drive that we were playing prevent).

This team is playing for Wilks. I love it. We look like a pro football team again. fug tanking. Use our assets to pick a QB wherever we can... but we need to win and fix the culture here as we go.

Great blocking and great vision and cut by Foreman. Beautiful.

Ok, I like Shi, but please get him off the PR. That's his second horrible decision today.

Great defense! This ain't a Rhule coached team anymore. These guys look prepared for the moment.

NGL, the whole team looks different this week. I saw glimpses of it last week outside of the shitty offensive gameplan... but we actually look confident and prepared for the first time in 2+ years. Saw the best screen we've seen run in years in the first half, the most efficient offense I recall seeing in a long time with being able to move the ball and establishing a rhythm, and no issues with time management for the first time in a long time.

It feels so weird seeing CMC with that Niners graphic up by his name.

Agreed.

I still don't know wtf that was last week. If we weren't intentionally trying to lose, the only thing I can think is that they were intending on running a different scheme that required new installs over time, and so they just didn't want to run what had already been staples up to that point. TBH, this is the best I remember us consistently moving the ball as the game has progressed past the 1st qtr since Teddy was here. I've been standing up for PJ since day one. I believe in him. He's a good player. He has occasional brain farts, but far more often than not, he is a great player with a great skill set.

Wow. I think I'm changing my mind on Leftwich. Yeeesh.

I've been telling everyone since PJ has been here, outside of Cam coming back, PJ has been the best QB on the roster. He is athletic, he has a live arm and can absolutely sling it, and has shown good accuracy... he just needs the reps and a coaching staff that knows wtf they're doing.

I ainr gonna lie, 2 firsts and another 2nd or 3rd, I would really, really have a hard time not doing that, no matter how much I love Burns as a player. Again, we have to move on where the value is. If it lies with the player, you keep them. If it lies in the offer, you take it. 2 firsts and another high pick is a franchise-changing haul for one player.

That may be the best screen we have run all year. Probably 3 years.

I know others are stewing in self-hate and just want to blow the whole thing up, but I feel Burns is a core piece. I don't want to trade him. Trading CMC made sense because he's a RB. And again, no matter how uniquely talented they are, they age our faster and their production declines so much quicker than almost any other position, it makes sense to move on if the value is there. These other trades people are talking up just don't makes sense from a value standpoint, especially when we haven't seen what a Fitterer-ran draft looks like yet. I say hold on to the young talent we have left and see what we can do with Fitt this coming draft then go from there. Shaq is the only guy I would trade without a second thought at this point. Everyone else should be retained.

Just when I was thinking how this is the best the offense has possibly looked all season as the game has went on, so maybe we hadn't committed to the tank - we elect to punt instead of attempting a 54 yard FG. Yeah, we are NOT interested in trying to win.

Yup. I'd rather keep him, but if they want to move him that's the minimum.

Yeah, and check out what Faulk did AFTER that trade. He was not a HOF-caliber player before that trade, but was a great one with high upside. With the Rams, for a period, he became the best player and most valuable player in the league. I expect a similar outcome with CMC. And again, the RB position is so short on shelf-life, it's stupid to overpay or ever really commit long-term to one, so i felt it was needed and understand it. But I also don't trust this organization to rebuild properly, so I expect us to come out on the losing end of the trade regardless.

"Hey bro, go talk to her for me. I just get too nervous..." We are an absolute trainwreck.

I'm gonna have to change my avi. Only a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th this year? What a fuging ripoff.
