I think less than $3M is easy money to secure one of the best kickers in the league when your QB is gonna be cheap as poo poo for the next few years, but I'll concede that might have been a slightly harder decision this summer than it seems like today. Like after the QB, the kicker is the next most important position on the team for scoring points and you gotta score points to win games. Adding $3M a year to win one more game a season is a discount. And here we have a perfect example where a better kicker probably wins us a game we instead lost. They never even made Gould an offer. There was no attempt to restructure his contract. He's still a free agent!

It's not his fault, but Conner got his shot in Pittsburgh when noted adherent to The Run Mr. Le'Veon Bell held out for a whole year, completely torpedoing his career because lol you can run your amazingly good RB into the ground and not pay him in the NFL, that's just how things are.

pretty obvious cmc was playing hurt but mitchell didn't get anything going on his uh, what, two carries either? Purdy was fine except for interceptions. At least one, I think Jennings was cut off when he was making his break in towards the center of the field and the refs didn't call it even though they were on the niners secondary for illegal contact all game. Frankly it was near miraculous how few penalties the vikings drew. This is part of kirk cousins though. He has amazing games and terrible games. And halves. You just can't count on him being bad, although he's definitely capable of being bad. He was pressured several times, just no sacks, he got the ball out just in time every time. all that said, obviously this is it, end of the niners season, end of brock purdy's career, he is a fraud, all is dust etc. etc.

Poor tackling was a standout feature of the niners defense last night. Also that lost wrestle for nearly an interception that was a TD instead, was a case of trying for the ball instead of taking the tackle. High risk/high reward. The niners are normally very good against the run and last night the vikings effectively ran the ball: again, I saw a lot of missed tackles. e. Hufanga got 7 tackles and was on fire, he was an exception, but even he couldn't get to kirk cousins on at least two blitzes that I recall.

I am very very calm. On one of Purdy's picks I'm pretty sure Jennings was no-call held or at least an illegal contact that prevented him from being where Purdy expected him to get to as he released the ball, but I haven't seen an angle on it that shows his whole route on the youtube recaps.

Regardless of Purdy's play and the bad defensive playcalling, I also continue to see way too many missed tackles, including by normally reliable superhumans such as fred warner. Hufanga's an exception. 8 tackles and 2 assists. Ask why the safety is getting so goddamn many tackles, it's because the opponent's offense is consistently getting past the linemen and linebackers and deep into the secondary.

if everyone on the cards is trying their hardest and they still only win one or two games all season, doesn't that suggest that getting the first overall pick mayyyy not be enough to turn them into a competitive team? Like that's always the cloud around which the silver lining of top pick is wrapped. Lots and lots of bad teams have stayed bad after drafting first overall.

Leonard Williams is a 29 year old nine-year vet with 39.5 sacks and 239 tackles in 132 games. He's fine, not a pro bowl guy but certainly not a liability either. e. actually he was pro bowl 2016-17 season, so that's not bad but a long time ago.

he's a 2020 2nd overall draft pick who spend half of 2021 and almost all of 2022 on IR or working back from injury. Rookie stats look reasonable, with 7.5 sacks 32 tackles and 10 assists. This season he has five sacks in seven games (he did not play in week 1). Seems like a guy with a ton of upside if he can stay healthy, well worth a 3rd round pick, and coming in before the bye so he'll have some time to integrate. However I would be a lot more excited if the 49ers did something to shore up the OL ahead of the trade deadline.

That's often scheme, e.g. on the DC. Warner's probably in his assigned zone. I'm not saying you're wrong, exactly, but it may be that what you're asking for is Warner to ignore the play call.

I think popularity really does matter for HOF votes, especially for non-QBs, and being an unlikeable weirdo does hurt any player's chances. DBs honored by the HOF: https://futurefootballlegends.com/PositionGroup/Defensive_Backs/ "Since 1980, there have been 24 Modern-Era Defensive Backs honored by the Hall of Fame" so a little more than one every two years. In addition to Sherm on the 2027 list, the 2026 list has Tramon Williams (way down at the bottom, doubt he gets a nod) and the 2028 list has Devin McCourty and Byron Jones, but the list is super short so more DBs could go on it. I think Sherm has a shot at a first or more likely second ballot HOF spot during that three year period and I doubt Earl Thomas gets any shot at all.

Maybe he was, I dunno. But it's team management to blame there, not the other players.

Nit Wit Dog poo poo posted:So that $800 price tag Collinsworth was talking about was pretty accurate? at $36 a pound that's 22 pounds of fish, and he said he bought two fish. Alaskan King salmon, head off but otherwise whole, are easily 11lbs each and actually can get twice that at the high end. So that's totally believable that he bought two fish for $800. So

While watching the cowboys lose in the playoffs is fun, I would prefer the last years of jerry jones' legacy to be a bunch of severely losing records instead. Like two wins a season kinda poo poo. You know. Like the cards. e. jerry jones is 81 so if he pulls a kissinger, my comment above stands. 20 years of godawful seasons for dallas would be swell.

https://www.sfgate.com/49ers/article/49ers-brock-purdy-not-mvp-trent-williams-18540273.php "Vote 49ers' Trent Williams for MVP or go to hell," by Drew Magary as enthusiastically as I join the rest of this thread in supporting and advocating for The Run, I hope we can also rally around the cause of the dominant left tackle. This is tackle football, who is more football than a tackle, I ask you? Nobody, that's who. And Magary makes a compelling case that the niners are only winning when Trent Williams is there. Which is supported by the numbers. I think the tackles are obviously required in order to Establish the Run, too. Where else is the run best, than through a gap in the line forced open by the OL? Nowhere, that's where.

I think receivers weren't allowed to wear gloves until some time in the late 80s or early 90s, and they make a huge difference in catching rates. Especially when the ball is wet or cold or both. Back in the 70s I don't think they had instant replay yet, either. Refs called what they saw, and that was that.

I actually thought drew lock looked decent. He was hard to pin down by the pass rush and usually made good decisions with the ball while under pressure. His int at the end of the game was from getting hit while throwing. He felt a bit more decisive than geno smith. I think there's a few teams around the league where lock would actually be an upgrade over their starter.

Yeah it wasn't the prettiest or most on target throw but it was the right decision and IMO that's a more important quality in a QB than godlike accuracy. Make fast and decisive good decisions under pressure. I'm not saying he's a good QB, mind you. But like, if he played a couple more games like that he'd be making his case that he's good enough to not be relegated to permanent third string status in the NFL.
