I'm on the fence about Sellers. I wish SCar had a better OL to give him more of a chance but I don't know. I'm not out on him but I'm definitely not sold either. I expect him to enter the draft next year because someone will take a chance on his talent in the 1st but I'd honestly prefer he play another year of college and hit the portal and find a better situation. Or for SCar to hit the portal and build an OL.

I'm worried about next year's QB crop but I'm not in panic mode about it yet. There's still time for some guys to stand out.

He might carve out a long career as a backup but not as a top backup. I would bet a lot of money you'll never see Bryce have a game like Mac Jones had on Thursday night. Plenty of guys carve out long careers by being decent enough while being great teammates. I think that's the path Bryce is staring down.

Top 6? I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't think Bryce has the potential to become a top 6 backup.

He's talking about this year's draft as in the guys who are currently rookies, not next year's draft.

Yeah that's why I don't put any stock into the Combine max velocity figures. All that matters is how well you generate velocity in game situations. I don't care how hard you can throw when you have all day and wind up like a baseball pitcher. It's just not relevant to an actual football game. Kirk Cousins threw the ball 10mph faster at the Combine than Lamar Jackson. Cousins (and Goff too for that matter) was right up there with Allen and Mahomes in terms of max velocity. Does that show up on an NFL field?

I get the call to go for it. The bitch of coaching is that when you make these calls you're brilliant if it works out and you're a jackass if it doesn't and everyone's going to second guess it. It's is what it is. I get that he's expecting his OL to be able to create a yard there but at the same time it's also basically your weakness against their strength. The part I disagree most with honestly was the decision to go out there and bark to try to create the false start then calling a timeout and putting your offense back on the field. Now you've shown your hand. Now they know you're going. You can't call back to back dead all timeouts and you're not backing your FG kicker up so you're going. I agree with trying to create the false start but I don't think you call a timeout and then out your offense back out there. If that's your plan you gotta kick. When Stafford started walking off with still several seconds left in the play clock I honestly thought they were gonna do something sneaky like a direct snap to the RB or the RB running up under center and basically doing a tush push style play. I don't like calling the timeout and putting your offense back there with the D now knowing you're gonna go.

If Bryce was efficient it wouldn't matter. The issue with Bryce is that he both can't push the ball down the field and he can't be efficient. That leaves your offense stalled out because the defense is choking you to death.

Yeah, I think part of the reason that Bryce has an issue with missing high is that anytime he has traffic in front of him he's having to loft the ball up and over that traffic

What I mean is that of course you'd be best off building a great offense AND a great defense, but that's almost impossible to pull off in a hard cap league and is definitely impossible to maintain. You're not going to be able to afford to keep everyone even if you're knocking the draft and free agency out of the park and turning them into stars. Then you gotta pay 'em.

I mean, sure. Assembling a roster of All-Pros sounds like a good idea. It's just tough to do.

Like playing Super Tecmo Bowl growing up and the entire D just gang tackles your ball carrier immediately because they correctly guessed your play call. LOL

IMO the NFL has shown they'll keep tweaking the rules to benefit offense. They want high flying high scoring games because that style of football draws more casual viewers. That's not to say you can't still win with stingy defense and good enough offense but you have to realize that the NFL will be actively working against you from a rules standpoint.

At the time it was honestly the right call, he had been injured constantly and a rebuilding team didn't need an injured huge money RB. Just per usual we squandered the draft picks. Honestly, I'd rather see CMC competing on a contender than toiling away here ending up on IR late into every season because he's banged up and we have nothing left to play for so let's save the wear and tear.

I very seriously doubt that but at the same time the Mac Jones we saw last night would've never showed up in Carolina, that's for sure.

You let Stafford do all he did to ight and then you let old Fumblerina lose it for you? LOL

Bryce Young could NEVER. Never fuging ever.

And the Rams just blew it fumble in the endzone.

And the Rams are already in FG range after just a couple of plays. Defenses just lose their nerve in short clock situation. Start playing not to lose.

He tried hard to blow it there. No clue what he saw there but one defender nearly picked it and if he hadn't put hands on it the defender behind him had an easy pick.

Eddie Piñiero just hit a 59 yarder to put the Niners up by 3 with under 3 minutes to play. LOL

And now former Panther Gross-Matos goes down for SF. Unreal.

Mac Jones goes down hard and he's hurt. The amount of injuries SF is piling up is just crazy. They cut to Shanahan in the sideline and he just looked like he wanted to start drinking. LOL

But 18/39 instead of 11/13, also minus the tuddies

I never understood why they paid Purdy
