Elite to me means you have a unique combination of traits (not only physical) that allows you to perform at a top percentile level consistently.

When I think of "mad scientists", I'm not really picturing someone that's not intelligent... quite the contrary I think most nuts believe themselves to be (and probably are) rather intelligent.

I think intelligence has little correlation to nuttiness... wisdom is a diff story.

Since Lynch/Shanny took over they've had 17 draft picks on the first 2 days of the draft... only 3 of those guys are plus contributors on this team right now (Warner, Bosa, Samuel) I honestly can't tell whether it's an issue of not being able to find talent in the top rounds, or not being able...

Please don't trade Bosa... his press conferences are the only entertaining aspects of the 49ers this year.

Eyeball test... He just seems to have more juice and shows the ability to make people miss. Mitchell is good but his vision at times is really questionable. Unfortunately Hasty's smaller and more fragile and maybe they don't quite trust him in pass blocking which limits his playing time. If I...

Benjamin Allbright: Falcons were gonna take Lance at 4

Hasty's the most talented runner in this backfield (and probably the best receiver as well)... problem is (like Mostert) he can't seem to stay on the field. 

Shanny did exactly what he said he was going to do... let Lance run plays that he's comfortable with which is why you saw a bunch of QB Power up the middle. What Lance did NOT do in college (ironically) is a lot of zone read out of shotgun/pistol (I think in training camp they were having issues...

If the niners somehow win, it will be by dominating on the ground (which they've struggled to do this year). So it sets up a potentially interesting scenario... what if Lance is simply mediocre, but they run the ball a lot better, play good D and take down the last remaining unbeaten? Does Lance...

I'm expecting a circa 2016 Kaepernick-esque performance. 200 yds passing 1TD 2 turnovers, 75 yds rushing and maybe another TD.... most of it will be in garbage time down 2+ scores.

I think that was probably more true back in 2005... and Alex Smith was ruined by a multitude of reasons (a new system every year, very little supporting talent to speak of, etc...) Lance at the moment won't fall victim to either. I mean you could see it during the course of the seahawks game...

For the "sit Trey Lance" proponents, please try to keep a few things in mind.... The 2011 and 2020 CBAs installed many rules that limit the amount of practice time available during the offseason as well as during the season. The installment of the rookie salary cap also meant if you've got a...

The problem w/ Sermon isn't opportunity or lack of preparation or whatever people wanna attribute to his lack of snaps... the problem is that he simply doesn't look that good when he's in. His cuts look lackadaisical, both running and route running-wise, he loses too much momentum trying to...

I don't wanna throw Lance to the wolves, but I'd like to see him get a series here or there to see if it helps the running game. All the misdirection jet sweeps/reverses Jimmy's just a ballhandler... why not just have Lance run those?

Bosa looked fine to me... he's not gonna get 2 sacks every game. The packers clearly made an emphasis on rodgers getting rid of the ball quickly.

Who else is secretly kinda rooting for them to lose so we can see more Lance? I'm not gonna lie, this ain't a Superbowl team. Shanny looked like he had to pull out all the tricks in the bag to try and manufacture a running game. And Jimmy, for as much as he looked liked a hero for a few...

As a niners fan, I'm afraid I was wrong about Sermon... he's giving me Isaiah Pead vibes. Both players I liked as prospects because I thought they had quick feet, but once in the NFL they looked like they were running in mud.

I don't think the niners view Hasty as an early down back... he's been in the system the longest plus he's their best receiving back so he gets PT regardless on certain passing downs. He's also a pretty talented runner in his own right, just not durable and big enough to endure the rigors of a...

I know we're 2-0 but I don't understand how right guard has been a problem for this team for what feels like the entire Shanahan era.The fact that they whiffed on Banks is starting to become a serious problem. It bothers me that not only was he not a schematic fit, but also just not ready to...
