I know you have him on ignore, but I couldn't resist sharing the opening paragraph for your holiday enjoyment
It's not hard to figure out what was missing on a team built on defense and the run game, which needed at least a serviceable QB who wasn't playing for a contact this season. Your millennial Tech Bro 49ers are not your grandfathers QB driven team. I mean there isn't much of a difference in 49ers QBs this season other than they can last a few games and have fresher arms and legs but still are not Josh Allen or even Justin Herbert or TUANON. If you want a soothsayer, go to a guy who was fired from KNBR because he pissed off Felipe Alou. It wasn't like he was bagging on brain dead Carribean players throwing slop with the San Francisco Giants that got him fired during the Alou era. It's not because he and Rod Brooks were let go on the "Sports Leader" on KNBR due to streamers like Grant Cohn flipping takes.

Lol...theres never anything interesting or relevant in his posts, he mostly just rambles on about past regimes and bitches about Jimmy. I can't even follow that paragraph you quoted because it goes off the rails so fast about nothing to do with the 49ers or even football. It's so bizarre.

Upon really thinking about it, I do have one major concern:
I don’t believe he has played at all from behind? Feels like that is inevitable in a playoff game at some point. Really would like that to happen at least once in the next two weeks, battle test him a little bit.
That's what having CMac in the backfield will do for any most QBs.
efactor
Footballguy
Maybe he can suck early in the next couple games so they can play from behind. Maybe throw a couple pick 6s
Playoff games will obviously be closer but if he runs the offense like he is doing now, he will be fine. People were worried about playing the Bucs and going up against Brady and he passed with flying colors. Then going to Seattle and the pressure of a true hostile enviroment, and he was fine. Kid is a cool customer

Having CMC has changed the whole dynamic of this offense. Their other RBs were not good pass catchers and that was an obvious flaw since Shanahan took over, which is really odd in itself considering how much he threw to the backs in Atlanta.
Laughed at all the 49er fans who whined about giving up "all that draft capital" for someone who you knew would thrive in this system. Seems like a bargain now especailly considering that the picks will be in the later rounds
Wingnut
Footballguy
Well, we were down 7-3 when he took over for Jimmy in the Miami game, and he led a 10 play, 54 yard drive that ended with a 3yd TD pass to Cmac.
We haven't been behind in a game since.
It turned out to be a fantastic move, but let's not pretend there weren't reasonable and good faith contemporaneous criticisms about SF's allocation of resources at the position and whether they were capable of contending at that point such that a trade like that made sense.
Wingnut
Footballguy
Also, CMC had missed most of the previous 2 seasons with injuries, so it was definitely a gamble.
Niners facing Stidham and Colt McCoy to end the season. Hopefully that means the Niners will get to rest some veterans down the stretch and maybe get some younger players some reps - DBs in particular. For example, Charvarious Ward has been banged up and it'd be helpful if depth guys like Ambry Thomas could get back in the swing of things.
efactor
Footballguy
I guess I wasn't worried about the injuries of the previous 2 seasons, since he was healthy at the point of the trade and the previous injuries weren't ones that were still impacting his play. RBs have a higher rate of injury. Always a bigger gamble. Frank Gore was considered injury prone by many until he wasn't.
Also, by the time the trade was made, it was obvious the Rams were in a decline stage and Seattle was a pretender, so it put the 49ers in the drivers seat for the division. I never thought the comp was excessive. If you compare to what they gave for Sanders in 2019, it was pretty damn good and I thought the Sanders trade was fine, even though it was basically a rental, which CMC isn't

Guess the Raiders are looking at draft position. Carr has been kind of sucky, but still way better than Stidham.

I looked at this yesterday and talked to some gambling buds, it felt like a trap to me, pretty sad I didn’t hit it.
I did just smash the +700 for the SB pretty aggressively though. Love this team, LFG!! Purdy like a Brady story!
fantasycurse42
Footballguy Jr.
I hated the trade, but honestly, I hated it bc of the capital we already gave up for Lance along with the injury history of CMC. Let’s just hope he stays healthy! Let’s hope they don’t go nuts with his touches these next 2 weeks.
But honestly, I hated it the most bc of Jimmy G, just didn’t think we could win with him. With him gone, huge fan! I’m all in on Purdy, love the kid!!

Ooof. What do you homers think of playing Stidham? Exactly how good is your defense? I mean, I know it's good. I've seen it in fits and starts. Fast and tough. But will they blanket...say...Davante Adams and allow him very little? Asking for a friend.
Okay, I'm figuring out whether to bench the guy in FF or not. I'm leaning benching him and/or Metcalf. They're running right into death traps, best I can make of it.

Well, hard for "your friend" to sit Adams, but don't expect much. My guess is Stidham is checking down a lot as 49ers will bring the pressure.
This defense is incredible. So fast and everyone around the ball trying to knock it out. Going to be a long day for the Raiders

Again, small sample size:
Among QBs with at least 100 drop-backs, Brock Purdy leads the NFL in Touchdown Percentage.
He’s throwing TDs on 7% of his passes, which is higher than Patrick Mahomes’ 6.4% (2nd).

RB Christian McCaffrey is undoubtedly the most impactful midseason addition of '22. Could end up as one of biggest ever.
Per @EliasSports, his 5 games with 100+ scrimmage yds since trade is 1 game shy of tying most games by midseason addition (Eric Dickerson, Colts, '87).

Stidham makes Matt Cassell and Brian Hoyer appear "dynamic".

Wow.
Defense was bad. Warner with 2 HUGE penalties that lead to Raider points.
Brock with some bad throws, but hes still cool under pressure and needed a game like this under his belt IMO. He got lucky by only throwing 1 INT. Raiders should have had 3.
Lenoir is TERRIBLE. No clue why Ambry Thomas or Jackrabbit Jenkins didn't get action over him.
This game is a wake up call. Gotta tighten up before the playoffs.

Good game for the offense to show that they can bail out the defense. That being said, it's a good wake-up call game for the D to not take any one lightly. Maybe they thought the Raiders would just roll over because they benched their starter but Stidham didn't play scared.
Huge play by Bosa to cause the INT in OT that won't show up on the box score!
Heard something that the 49ers can be the #1 seed if the Eagles lose. Is that true?

Giants won't be a pushover. Eagles at home and if Hurts plays, they probably win. If not, Giants can pull it off.

I believe the Giants are locked into the #6 seed...if so, they will have nothing to play for.

I did. I'm still likely to lose my finals match-up. But it won't be because of Jarrett Stidham. That was a barn-burner of a game today.
I did not bench Metcalf, either. That was a poor decision, but I'll stick by the process. I didn't really have any better prospective options.
rockaction

Back to the 49ers, though. Purdy looked better than I thought he would, still. But you have to wonder what's going to happen when he sees a pass rush like Philly or Dallas. We won't know until we see it.
efactor
Footballguy
Probably the same as "wait until he faces the pressure of playing against the GOAT (Brady)", "wait until he faces Seattle on the road" or "wait until he has to bring them back from behind late in a game". I get what you're saying, but he has passed all the tests so far. Kid has it and will be fine.

Daboll said they are playing to win next week and not sitting anyone. Hopefully he means it
As an aside, the Vikings are 12-4 with a -19 point differential. How is that even possible?
Negatives from the game: Purdy’s lack of arm strength reared it’s head on multiple plays and it’s a weakness that can be exploited; losing Banks for an extended period of time is a material loss; Hufanga has been sneaky bad recently and no one not named Ward (and maybe Gipson) can be trusted in the secondary.
Positives: Purdy had a few bad plays but played with poise even a veteran like Jimmy rarely displays. There are so many playmakers on offense that this team can keep up in a shootout. This had a very 2019 Saints game vibe, which was a key game in that squad’s development as a true title contender.

Yeah one of the main takeaways is the offense can pick up the slack and keep up in a shootout if the defense isn't playing well, which is pretty huge and something this team hasn't had in a while.
Next week is a get right game and playoff tuneup.
I have a feeling Mr Rodgers may be making a trip out west in a couple of weeks.

If the 49ers remain in the No. 2 seed, they’d play the No. 7 seed in first round of playoffs.
No. 7 seed scenarios:
Packers clinch with win vs. Lions
Lions clinch with win at GB AND Seahawks loss to Rams
Seahawks clinch with win vs. Rams AND GB loss to Lions

Eh. I welcome the thought of handing him another beat down.

I think all 3 teams present challenges, and none would be easy wins.
Seattle: it's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season, and Seattle is always tough against us.
Detroit: Offense is sneaky good. Defense is suspect at best but Hutchinson is becoming a force on the D line. I think Goff might still have nightmares of playing us. That said, they're scrappy and hungry for kneecaps.
Green Bay: Rodgers is always dangerous, and even though we've owned them lately, bounces are going their way and they're hot right now.
Gonna be interesting and fun!

49ers QB Brock Purdy has a TD % of 6.7 on 150 attempts this season.
To put that in perspective, Patrick Mahomes leads the league at 6.4% (Purdy’s attempts aren’t enough to qualify).
The only other QBs w/ 150-plus attempts at or over 6% are Tua, Dak, Allen, & Burrow.

None of those teams worry me. 49ers are just better
Detroit on the road, outside is not nearly as good as at home in the dome. Pass defense is really bad and they got steam rolled by the Panthers run game. 49ers can score at will against them
They own Green Bay. Stop the run and no receivers that scare you except Watson. Put Mooney Ward on him and they got nothing
The "it's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season" scenario is only true before you play the first game. After you have beat them twice already, it's much easier to beat them 3 times. And they will if they play them, especially at home.
Normally not this confident, but only team in the NFC that worries me is Philly, if Hurts is healthy. Dallas at their place would, but not on the road.

Kind of disagree with the arm strength comment. On the pick to Kittle, he was late throwing the ball and then underthrew it. He made several bad throws down the field, but hard to be perfect. I honestly don't think it was an arm strength issue.
He does kind of lock on Kittle and Aiyuk. On the drive they kicked the FG to go up 27-24, he missed a wide open Kroft for a TD (threw short to Aiyuk) and then missed a wide open McCloud for a TD (forced it into Kittle). Part of the growth process, but he had time on both throws to go through his reads and neither Aiyuk or Kittle were open to force a throw in with that much time.
Another good game for the kid though.
