Carolina - San Fran Comparisons

There is a lot of talk about how equal these teams are. Lets break it down by units..

 

QB

Kaepernick is a one read wonder. Cam is a league MVP candidate.

Winner: Carolina

 

OL

I don't think there is any honest person that would pick Carolina here.

Winner - San Fran

 

WR

While Smith/Boldin matchup is pretty close, San Fran has much better depth. Who would take Lafell over Crabtree? No one.

Winner - San Fran

 

TE

Greg Olsen has more receptions than Vernon Davis. Davis had more yards. Olsen, however, is more durable.

Winner - Carolina

 

RB

Yes, Frank Gore is legit, but I will take the triple threat of Tolbert, Williams, Stewart. All capable of being NFL starters.

Winner - Carolina

 

DL

Hardy, Star, Dwan, Johnson are the best front four in the league. No comparison.

Winner - Carolina

 

LB

Patrick WIllis is their best, and Luke bests him. Thomas Davis adds to the dominance.

Winner - Carolina

 

CB

I'd take Rogers and Brown over our guys. But I do like Melvin White's future.

Winner - San Fran

 

S

Mitchell and Mikell are a more formidable duo than Reid and Whitner

Winner - Carolina

 

K

Gano has missed 3. Dawson has missed 4.

Winner - Carolina

 

Coaching

I am assuming RIverboat Ron will show up on Sunday. If so, I think it is a push. If not, Harbaugh wins.

Winner - Push

I love the optimism. 

 

But, I think a lot of these are closer to pushes. 

 

Namely, TE, RB, and LBs. 

 

TE is a push, but RBs are definitely in our favor. Frank Gore has a similar YPC stat but contributes nothing in the passing game, and neither of their backups are as good as Stewart and Tolbert. Linebackers is no push, it favors us because Luke is better than Willis and Bowman and Thomas Davis is better than Ahmad Brooks.

Olsen is good but he isn't the playmaker, nor the blocker that VD is. TE goes to SF.

 

RB is a push, although I think yall use your RB's better than we do.

 

LB -  Keuchly is great and Davis is as well but they are not a better tandem than WIllis/Bowman/Smith/Brooks.

Pretty fair comparo.

 

I think our D is better than theirs, but they're not bad by any stretch.

 

We have to contain Kaepernick and get in his face because they do have offensive weapons.

 

 

Offensively we MUST set Cam free and use Tolbert.

 

clay matthews being out killed GB. Kaep was able to run free because they couldnt set the edge or contain.

 

We have the two fastest linebackers in the league with unreal tackling ability. I will be shocked if Kaep can run on us.

Zod, you know as well as I do, this game will come down to the coaches. Teams are pretty evenly matched, just depends on what coach or coaches call the better plays.

 

I disagree. In the playoffs moreso than the regular season it is the players that must step up and take control.

 

Look how many incredible and huge plays, some unscripted, took place over the weekend that won or lost the game.

Rushing is key for this game on both sides... it will be far too much incoming pressure for these qbs to flatout put the game out of reach with their arms. Therefore the qbs with the best legs will pull this out. I think Kap will use his more than Cam but only because it will be for running away rather than running for yards. If our run game gets going the first half we can put them away early. Bell needs get his crap together and the threats of Smitty and Stew on the field only will boost our power. No way the 9ers come in here like they barely did with that no up front pressure D they faced yesterday! WE ARE NOT Green Bay.

      his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen.

      Crazy stat

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.

      Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
