He says a lot of **** he never follows through on, really hope this is something he actually adjusts. He’s on pace for 408 touches, **** needs to change if you A) don’t want him to get hurt B) would like some gas in the tank for the playoffs.Shanahan admitted today he needs to get Mitchell involved, which I wholeheartedly agree with. Mitchell is really good in his own right and there’s no reason he can’t take 5-7 of CMC’s touches to keep them both fresh.
Jimmy G with a QBR of 58. 3 ints (one in the end zone) and a fumble (not lost). Excited to see his 6-7 win season and 25+ turnovers, assuming he plays 17.Lombardi:
There’s a tie atop the NFL for best QBR…
1. Dak Prescott, Cowboys: 83.7
1. Brock Purdy, 49ers: 83.7
I think Shanahan as a coordinator is so locked in on winning on the next play that he totally loses focus on what's good for Shanahan as a coach/de facto GM. This also happened to an extent with Lance last year - yeah, calling a power QB run off tackle might give you your highest expected yards/play on 2nd down, but maybe running your QB into the line repeatedly is not worth the extra 0.75 yards?He says a lot of **** he never follows through on, really hope this is something he actually adjusts.

If watching the 49ers win is number 1 for me on Sundays, watching Jimmy G suck has to be number 2.
A competent QB would’ve won at least 1 title during his time here. Guy is a bum, and smiling on the sideline while playing terrible did kind of annoy me.I'm glad Jimmy is gone, but don't understand the hate.Jimmy G with a QBR of 58. 3 ints (one in the end zone) and a fumble (not lost).

Jimmy was amazing those first 5 games he started in 2017. Team was total crap yet won 5 straight when Jimmy took over. Was really excited about 2018 and then the ACL injury in game 3. Never seemed the same after the injury. Solid QB who game managed an otherwise outstanding team, but the team just couldn't get over that final hurdle against teams that had superior QB play.
Don't need a Defense when you have the Unstoppable Force.The defense is a serious concern right now. Against Stafford, we can wait for the inevitable mistake, to win a SB and beat the likes of Hurts and Mahomes, the defense needs to force those mistakes. After this game, hopefully they do some soul searching. Bosa is basically invisible, Hargrove meh. It’s early and we’re 2-0, so on the surface, it’s fine… but they need to start figuring this out right now.
1. F you.Aiyuk not expected to play tonight, so he can rest for 10 more days before Week 4 vs Arizona.
I hope we see Eli Mitchell get some work tonight to give CMC a break.
Brock Purdy vs the blitz tonight 20-31, 247 yards, 2 TD
Masterclass.
9-0 combined record from those squadsTurnover Differential thru Week 2:
Cowboys, +7
Tampa Bay, +5
Philadelphia, +4
San Francisco, +3

Not really. It's actually kind of boring. Yeah, I know Georgia fans who would enjoy seeing them play Tennessee-Martin every weak. I like at least a little bit of drama and at least a small chance that they might lose.It's good to be a 49er fan right now.
His 2 touchdown throws, I felt were pretty impressive. Both passes were in the face of pressure to a degree. I like the kid. Giants let them off the hook on 3rd and long way too many times.Purdy looked a little shaky in the first half but also had some beautiful throws in the second half. Watching all these receivers just drag defenders all over the field every week is so fun.
Yep - I think last night was like his 11th start? It's not like he's a finished product. I think he has plenty of arm strength and when he gets those downfield throws dialed in accuracy wise he will be a beast. And compared to Jimmy G, who seemed to be mentally incapable of throwing more than 15 yards, Purdy already looks like Marino.The funniest thing to me when people criticize Purdy is that they seem to believe (or want to believe) that he won't ever get any better than he is now. I hate to break it to them, but he is going to get even better with experience, especially on his deeper passes. He will never be Josh Allen and hit people 60 yards down the field, but like Joe Montana, he will hit them in stride 30 yards down the field and let them run it in the rest of the way.
Going to be a fun ride with Brock

Good to see him finally catching on.Kinlaw SZN
Javon Kinlaw had 11 pressures in 2021 and 2022 combined.
Kinlaw's already at 10 pressures in 3 weeks this season. Turning into a key contributor on this defensive line already.
Glinch was a very good run blocker but the NFL is a passing league and was shocked Denver doled out that kind of money on a RT who is a below average pass blocker.Lombardi:
There are 53 qualifying NFL offensive tackles. PFF pass-block grade ranks so far.:
#1 Trent Williams
#33 Colton McKivitz
#52 Mike McGlinchey
Broncos for paying McTurnstile to protect Wilson
I could have sworn Dan Quinn was the Falcons head coach that season. Surprised to learn it was Shanahan who controlled the entire team. Kyle really had a bad defensive game plan in the 2nd half of that game. Patriots scored at will in the 2nd half and OT after being shut down the first half. Kyle should have dialed up more blitzes that game. Glad he is sticking to offense these days and isn't the control freak he was in Atlanta when he ran the whole show on both sides of the balland still to this day Shanny's kid has yet to win a SB. chokes in big playoff games. choked atlanta right out of the SB win vs NE.
Maybe he is finally healthy. Better late than neverGood to see him finally catching on.Kinlaw SZN

If Kinlaw stays healthy, that will be huge
I was surprised to see his pass rush win rate was so low, 7.7% (worst on the team). He seems to be very good against the run though.If Kinlaw stays healthy, that will be huge
Love the Ferrell pick-up. Very solid player setting the edge and getting a decent push. Close to having a couple sacks.
