Mahomes Josh Burrow Stroud Jackson Love Stafford Goff Cousins Purdy/Prescott/Herbert - perhaps just Herbert but tough to choose between those three

Though a big play when against the Lions - when Purdy's throw fell through the Vildor's hands, bounced off his helmet and Aiyuk was able to dive on it. Make that play 100 times over, and 99 times it would have been intercepted or fell incomplete and left the 49ers in a difficult situation.

Maybe two of three, as I'm not sure the Pats had a great GM whilst Belichick was there...

The one thing I would say - and apologies if it's been said already - wasn't the whole point of the cap to reduce the likelihood of dynasties? Hasn't really worked, to be honest.

Heartbreaking to hear this. My condolences, and hope the memories and support of those closest to you in real life as well as on here will help you through these dark times.

I don't get why they don't put Brady on a lower team and allow him to grow into the role, rather than throw him into the A Team straight away.

There's an obsession with giving it to a QB. I don't think any QB has been good enough to be in the MVP conversation this year. Even the top two - Mahomes and Josh - have had their struggles. Even now, can't see beyond McCaffrey but highly doubt he gets it.

I don't think Josh was any better, or 'misbehaved' less, under Daboll compared to Brady? He actually had some really poor games - the run in 2021 where he threw seven interceptions in four games, which included the 9-6 loss to the Jags and the Colts blow out, for example. Then, near the end of that season, he threw three interceptions against the Falcons. Luckily his legs saved him, and the Bills, then. Everyone forgets how up and down 2021 was for Josh because of how it ended, but it was not great all the time by a long stretch.

We'll see what happens. Whilst an improvement on Dorsey, I think there were too many wrinkles on the offense under Brady, especially in the passing game. On the positive side, Josh seemed more relaxed. Do I wish we'd gone for someone with more experience and offered Brady the QB coach role once again or to take on an OC role elsewhere? At this moment in time, yes.

The Pats get a comp pick.

I'd say go for it.

Think it would have been a better game if the Packers had won. Don't know what's up with the 49ers. McCaffrey aside, they look dreadful to a man.

Why are the Lions attempting to pass? Run the ball. They can't stop it.

Agreed. He's a serviceable QB, little more than that. The run D is pathetic.

Both lines are killing the Niners.

Darnold, isn't it?

No. There seems to be a joy on here to see Purdy fail but he nor the running game is getting much in way of support. Especially when compared to Jackson earlier, for example, who had time but laid eggs.

Exactly what I put? No one has turned up excluding McCaffrey.

Is Goff the MVP of the Lions offense?

Their issues run deeper than Purdy. No one has turned up today excluding McCaffrey.

This is embarrassing from the 9ers. Why can't the Chiefs ever look like this?

The Niners defense looks all over the place.

How much if this is down to the Lions being great and how much is the 9ers being woeful? That might answer your question.

I suppose Goff will be praised but not ridiculously so, unlike Jackson if he'd managed it, so... The 9ers don't have a run D seemingly.

The Niners D line is woeful. Has Bosa gone to sleep?
