They have paid them. Bosa is locked up. Aiyuk is locked up. They are likely gonna cut Deebo but he’s old and washed. Even if they pay Purdy (I wouldn’t but that’s a different discussion), they aren’t gonna feel his cap hit like we didn’t feel Josh’s for about 3 years after he gets a contract. This stuff is really overblown imo.

This meme will one day die. Jimmy G’s cap hit in 2020 was $26M. Josh’s was $5.8M In 2021, Jimmy’s cap hit was $26M. Josh’s was $10M In 2022, Jimmy’s cap hit was $12.6M. Josh’s was $16.3M. Let’s please stop pretending that Josh has had this big albatross just holding McD back. Sure, it helps that Brock gets paid little now, but they acquired almost all those guys when Jimmy G cost MORE than Josh lol.

Are you saying you think McD would have gone to 3 NFCCG’s, and a SB with 4 seasons of Jimmy G and Brock Purdy at QB as HC of the Niners? You’re welcome to that take but I do not agree. Didn’t McD just go for a 4th and 2 to beat KC rather then let them get the ball back like 3 weeks ago? Brock Purdy and Tua are not in the same ballpark when you are talking making off-schedule plays. How many Niners games have you watched in the last 2 years?

Best coach in the division + best QB in the division = pain for the rest of the division. Forever and always.

What’s the point of an elite offense if you don’t trust them to win you the football game? I loved it. Just like I loved the Josh keeper on 4th down vs the Chiefs. Let your stars make their star moment.

Meh, they chose their fate trading a second for Jimmy G and making him one of the highest paid QB’s in the league at the time. They had two firsts in 2020. They took a COMPLETE bust in Kinlaw and then obviously hit on Aiyuk. Love was there and so was Hurts. I think the Lance whiff is gonna really make them gun shy, unless ownership gives them complete confidence in taking another swing.

They don’t watch Niners games. Brock makes plays off schedule all the time. It’s probably his best skill and the biggest difference between him and Jimmy G, and it doesn’t hold a candle to Allen’s ability to extend plays.

It would probably be really annoying if someone went back and checked all his “ascending superstar TE Dalton Kincaid” posts. Brock Bowers is gonna lap his career by week 15, meanwhile Dalton has 6 more yards than a gadget guy who went on IR week 6. ”Keep receipts” lol.

Shanahan has never lost a game in the playoffs when the best QB on the field played on his team. He has also won several playoff games where his QB was largely inferior to his opponent’s. Can McD say the same? I don’t understand the logic of holding SB losses with an average QB at best against Shanny, but not holding the annual divisional round appearance with arguably the best QB in the league against McD. I agree with the first. I don’t agree with the second. I don’t think anyone outside of the Shanny tree could’ve done more with Purdy/Jimmy G. Lmao this is very funny. You punish Shanny for his SB losses when McD hasn’t sniffed one.

Don’t agree. Shanahan has won multiple matchups in high stakes scenarios with a large QB disadvantage.

But that would make….. Beane the problem??????? Say it ain’t so!

I think McD with the 49ers from 2020-2024 and they are a fringe WC team, not a SB appearance team.

That’s probably true. But they have never had comparable QB talent to KC.

Making the playoffs with Mac Jones may be the most impressive thing Belichick has ever done, in hindsight.

I think the question to me is simple. Give Lynch and Shanny the reins from 2020 -20224 and compare it to what Beane/McD did in those same years? Who do you think would have more success over that span? I think it’s clearly Lynch and Shanny.

That because we don’t need a QB, the biggest black eye on Shanny/Lynch in not being able to find one is largely irrelevant. Everything else they do ranges from pretty good to great, except for a few too many drafted RB’s. Kinda fits our situation like a glove.

None of them were the best or the second best. IMO.

Not sure you’re even listening at this point lol.

Beane and McD. I don’t know what your point is. They found Josh, so they deserve to get as many chances as they want to fail with him? Unlike the other coaches who have done more with far lesser QB talent, and have built extremely star-heavy talented rosters? This isn’t a discussion about if we were starting a fictional franchise. If it were, you would be right, the Lynch/Shanny combo has completely bungled the QB room. That’s their biggest red mark. Luckily, here in Buffalo, we have a wonderful, incredible, proven QB, so that’s red mark doesn’t really matter.

We have the QB right, today. Maybe the best QB. Do you think Josh would turn into Jimmy G with Shanny as his play caller?

Yeah and I don’t think their resume is worse than their Bills counterparts. they can’t beat Mahomes in the Super Bowl with Brock Purdy or Jimmy G. They proved they can annihilate other HoF QB like Rodgers with a severe QB disadvantage. The elite pieces is the point. At this point, who would I take to get through Mahomes\Reid? The guys who get close because they get most of everything else right except the QB. We have the QB. A few more Aiyuk’s, Hufungas, Bosas, Kittles and Fred Warners around Josh and we would crush them.

I don’t think his resume is any worse than McD/Beane

I honestly would’ve guessed AJE had under 4 sacks. Quietest 5 sack season thus far I can remember. I can’t remember a single one.

Very normal behavior by a guy who definitely didn’t mean to hurt another player.

smart money is on Micah imo. I feel like some safeties can get by on brains alone even if they have lost a step or two (Micah has tbf.)
