After a rewatch of the game… is anyone weirdly confident about the future?

Yea he ran his tail off and he is a good dude, but he is not a gamechanger, he is a run of the mill RB.

That’s honestly fine in the modern NFL.  Running back is not a game changer position anymore.  You could make an argument for CMC but the 49ers did just fine without him last night.  And he couldn’t will Brock Purdy to a Super Bowl win.

Just saying people need to stop acting like Hubbard is any kind of difference maker...When you try to hang your hat on Chuba you know our cupboards are bare...

Yeah he’s not.  But he’s good enough to be part of a successful NFL backfield.  He shouldn’t be getting Derrick Henry volume though.

It just blows my mind that some people watched the same game I did and think RB is anywhere near top of the list with issues for this team.

Hard to see much on O when your starting QB looks like he should be playing on the JV team.

Defense was garbage as expected, it wasnt very good last season either, people just got obsessed with the YPG stat.

I don’t know what to say here. Chubba is a great dude and tries hard but he just doesn’t have the talent to be a #1 back. This concept that RBs are a dime a dozen has some truth but is also way overblown. You still need dudes back there. RB is a huge issue for this team. Way below whatever Bryce was doing Sunday but still a big issue

3 types of fans.

1. The pessimist. No matter how good the team, he has a little snippy remark or dig to make, and underestimates the team. You'll hear from him most when the team is actually good. "Well if so and so doesn't play well we're probably going to lose. We've beaten a bunch of bad teams, but we're going to play ______ soon, and then we'll be in trouble."

2.) The optimist. No matter how bad the team is, or how bleak and or grim the future looks, the optimist has a positive feeling about the situation that he can't quite place. Makes "The team isn't that bad, and the future looks bright" type of comments.

3.) The realist. Tends to be long winded, pointing out both the positive and negative aspects of the situation, and stays in the middle of the road. "Maybe so... could go either way."

So the forum will be [optimist] versus [pessimist] with the [realist] moderating for those of you who are new here.

      Let's trade Moton

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think that had his knees been in good shape, he would have been extended by now.  My opinion is based on the fact that they do not to seem to confident about his knees, so should we?  On the other hand, all veterans are playing with some chronic injury of some sort, so how much weight do you give it?  And in today's market, Moton's salary is not overblown.  Unless your concern becomes a problem, you stay the course, I would think.  But Moton will probably not be our tackle when we are a playoff team, so the time to start grooming his successor is probably this year.

      Top insider Tony Pauline 2-round mock draft (Panthers love Mykel Williams and will take him)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The Athletic FS had a Panthers fan write in about Mykel vs Jalon. Derrick K was surprisingly in favor of Mykel but gave a pretty compelling argument. You’re getting a baseline great run defender with some nice pass rush potential. You’re not getting the hyper athletic, violent, burst off the snap type, but he’s a grinder who can maintain a great level of play throughout a game. He’s the ideal type to eventually have paired with the more peppy/athletic edge rusher. No one says to avoid a 1B just because you don’t have or can’t find a 1A. And who knows, he could still become a double digit sack guy. 86” wingspan is monster. With Jalon, you’re using him as an EDGE. So you’re banking him fitting a super rare spot, that only Parsons has really followed through at. Myles Jack and others just didn’t work out as well. They mentioned you may just be getting a shorter Luvu-plus rather than a Parsons-lite.  Mykel at 8 will not surprise me in the least, and it could be a solid move.

      I thought you said he never made use of a TE in his systems before... seems like from your post that he did. Just sayin'...
