*** San Francisco 49ers *** Official thread (4 Viewers)

[Wingnut]

Just for the record:

Most Playoff Wins Since 2019:

1. Chiefs, 8
2. 49ers, 6
3. Bengals, 5
3. Rams, 5

Kyle Shanahan winning 6 playoff games and making it to 3 NFCCGs with two different quarterbacks is a testament to the roster/talent, coaching and culture in San Francisco. You can deny it all you want, but its still fact.

For anyone who thinks Shanahan isn't elite should probably take off the hater goggles and look at the facts. Yeah, he hasn't won a SB, but Andy Reid didn't win a SB until his 15th postseason appearance, and he needed a generational QB to finally get it done. Fourteen times he went to the playoffs and got bounced before he got Mahomes.

In 2017, Shanahan took over a team that finished 2-14 the year before. In 2019, the 49ers were in the Super Bowl. Since then, the only time he didn't at least make the conference championship was when 75% of the roster was on IR in 2020. And he gave Jimmy G a resume we all know hes not worthy of. That in itself is an accomplishment.

Him and Lynch built this roster from top to bottom, there's not a single player left from when they took over. Not one. That's a 100% turnover rate. Not many current coaches can build a roster from scratch and be in a SB in 2 seasons.

Has he made questionable decisions in big games? Yep. You can list every bad play call or decision he's made in his career, but it won't take away the fact they he turned a terrible team into a powerhouse contender way faster than anyone imagined, and hes nowhere near done yet.

There's not many coaches I'd rather have. I could name one for sure, and I'm not sure there's another.

 

[JohnnyU]

He sure stunk up the joint last week.

 

[Wingnut]

Is there any reasonable chance that Darnold could play so well this week he holds onto the starting QB gig? Or is the job still Purdy's as soon as he is ready?

I’m not a 9ers homer, but I believe there’s definitely more than a zero chance Darnold can take the job sometime this season. I think Purdy gets the call when he’s healthy pretty much regardless of what Darnold does this week

The question was could Darnold take the job by playing well this week, and the answer is no.

Nobody has said Purdy can't lose his job this season, but he'd have to really fall off and play terrible, and even then, Kyle tends to stick with his starting QB no matter what. But, anything is possible.

Huh. I saw him play pretty well before the concussion.

To each their own.

I’m not a 9ers homer, but I believe there’s definitely more than a zero chance Darnold can take the job sometime this season. I think Purdy gets the call when he’s healthy pretty much regardless of what Darnold does this week, but it’s not like Purdy is a lock to be their starter the next 10 years.

Darnold has the raw tool advantage, for one. Guys like Purdy really have to excel in areas away from arm talent. Gotta give him credit, but there was a reason he lasted until the last pick in the draft.

Bottom line is I’m not sold on Purdy being their long-term starter. Gotta see what happens when DCs get more film on him & see if they can maximize his lack of high-end arm talent & minimize some of his other traits.

Darnold is a FA this offseason, so he’d have to be so much better than Purdy that it’s worth jettisoning a couple other players (Aiyuk and at least one other starter) to manufacture enough cap room to re-sign him at market rates.

 

[Wingnut]

Thoughts on what you've seen/heard from Sam Darnold so far this year, think he is up to the task to performing adequately, getting the ball out quickly to playmakers, etc?

No idea.

Shanahan liked how he played last season and hopes he can continue and build on it.

He started the last 6 games in 2022, and if you throw out week 18 vs the Saints, which was a weird 10-7 game where neither team looked good, he was 4-1 with 9 total TD, 1 INT and a rating of 105.

If that Sam Darnold in still in there, we might be OK. It's the pre 2022 Darnold that scares me. That said, he's never been in a better situation with loads of talent around him.

I'm a little worried about pass protection though. I guess we will see.

I disagree, and I'm not Niners fan. Just everything I've read here and on my own, Purdy is the guy. Even if Darnold throws 500/5/0 with 2 rushing TDs, Purdy is the guy they like/love.

I'm saying they'd be motivated not to give him the job this year so that they aren't put in the situation I described.

 

[Snotbubbles]

We'll get a chance to see why I think Kyle Shanahan is the best coach in the league not named Andy Reid.

Can save you some time. He's not

So many Eagles fans worried about whats going on in the 49ers thread and cant stand when something is said they don't like.

Pretty sure a few people, including Jets fans made compelling arguments about the fact on why Shanahan probably isn't the 2nd best coach in the league, but that's all good too. I'm not on board with the statement either, not sure if Joe is a Niners fan or not, but sure seems like it with the statements he makes about his team.

Do YOU believe Shanahan is the 2nd best HC in the entire NFL, behind Andy Reid??

This is a 49er thread. Sorry if you don't agree with what goes on here.

My post was about a couple of Egales fans in here that think we want to discuss the Eagles or hear their opinion about the 49ers. I scroll past 99% of Eagle fan posts in here. If I wanna talk Eagles, I'll go into the Eagle thread. And heaven forbid a fan of any team posts anything remotely negative about the Eagles in that thread and they get jumped on by 10 Eagles fans.

You're not one of the ones who thread poop in here, you actually talk football and are level headed for the most part.

I don't care about anyone's coaches rankings, it's all opinions. But coming in here or any thread just to troll (again, not you) is so juvenile.

Like @Joe Bryant said, the opinion that the 49ers and/or Shanahan is elite isn't exactly a hot take. It's also not worth arguing about.

So to recap. If you want to talk Eagles, you'll go into the Eagles thread. If we want to talk 49ers, DON'T go into the 49ers thread? I think it was more than a fair assessment to question Shanahan being the 2nd best coach after Andy Reid when you have an all-time great like Bill Belichick still coaching, and another young coach in McVay, who actually won a Superbowl. Then you got a bunch of other current coaches who have won Superbowls who he didn't even mention. Not one poster said anything about the Eagles or an Eagles coach. You're projecting here.

This is a message board. On the message board you get debate. I get it, you don't like people pointing out the flaws of your coaches and players, you want validation. Sorry, I won't give it to you. I only give my honest assessments. I'm pretty sure the other posters won't give it to you either. We get a bunch of Cowboy fans in our threads who don't even talk football, they just troll. We're told to deal with, I suggest you do the same.

Likely closer to 50/0/5 with 2 rushing yards would be an epic game from Darnold...but I get your point

If the 9ers thought Darnold gave them the best chance to win this season (say, Purdy struggles), seems to me they’d make the move & worry about ‘24 later.

Darnold would have to be *clearly* better - the organization thumb is going to be on the scale for Purdy.

1. Kyle Shanahan as an elite NFL head coach is hardly a hot take.

2. Trolling is something we never want. I don't know who is telling you to deal with it. Certainly not us. If you see trolling that is clearly trolling, please report it and the moderators will take a look.

With that said, it's a cool thing for fans of a team to come together and have a place to talk something they care about. For the most part, it seems like the cool thing to do there is respect that. And that goes for every team.

 

[Joe Bryant]

I think it'll be fascinating to see how Darnold does.

I THINK he'll be very good and as I said, it'll be a reflection on Shanahan. But we'll see.

I do think he'd have to be incredible for a few games at least to generate any serious talk about taking the job from a healthy Purdy.

 

[Wingnut]

Barrows:

Video: Though he remains in the concussion protocol, Brock Purdy is practicing today. (If he was a position player he’d be in a blue, no contact jersey).

 

[Wingnut]

Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday there was enough time for Brock Purdy to make his way through the NFL's return-to-play protocol. This appears to suggest he is on pace to play in Sunday's game.

Think Darnold's career can be resurrected a la Steve Young? He stunk it up by all measures playing for the Bucs back when the Bucs were a terrible organization.

Disagree slightly...Young always showed something, even on those bad Tampa teams. Darnold has never shown anything.

RUH RUH...looks like purdy is practicing today

 

[Wingnut]

My money is on Brock starting Sunday.


Dr Nirav Pandya

Re: Brock Purdy practicing with no contact while in concussion protocol:

Based on the NFL concussion protocol this would appear to be step 4 out of 5. Step 4 is participation in non contact training drills. During this phase, neuoro / balance testing has to return to baseline before heading to step 5 which is clearance for contact.

 

[Wingnut]

The NFL's concussion protocol consists of five steps:

1. Symptom-limited activity: Players are asked to limit activity.
2. Aerobic exercise: Players can begin light aerobic exercise.
3. Football-specific exercise: Players can participate in non-contact football activities.
4. Club-based non-contact training drills: Players can participate in non-contact training drills.
5. Full football activity/clearance: Players must be cleared by their team's physician and an independent neurological consultant.

Purdy took part in non contact drills today.

 

[Wingnut]

More step 4 explanation from NFL.com:

Phase Four: Club-Based Non-Contact Training Drills

The player-patient may continue cardiovascular conditioning, strength and balance training, team-based sport-specific exercise, and participate in non-contact football activities such as throwing, catching, running and other position-specific activities, progressing to participation in non-contact team practice activities. To be clear, all activities at this Phase remain non-contact (i.e., no contact with other players or objects, such as tackling dummies or sleds).

[Football Jones]

Darnold was a great low-key signing. Wouldn't surprise me if he turns it around with the 9ers. The then Jets & Carolina isn't like he's had the best of situations.

Their weapons (the best in the NFL with newcomer Miami nipping at their heels) might just amplify Darnold's excellent arm talent & jump-start his career. Takes a ton of pressure off when that many guys can make plays.

 

[Football Jones]

Didn't Shanahan say Darnold was the best natural thrower he's ever coached (or something like that)?

Could've sworn I read that somewhere...

 

[Wingnut]

Offensive lineman responsible for the highest % of their team's allowed pressure:

1. DEN OT Mike McGlinchey (39.4%)
2. CLE OT Jedrick Wills (35.4%)
3. SEA OT Jake Curhan (33%)
4. TEN OT Andre Dillard (31.3%)
5. KC OT Donovan Smith (30%)

McKivitz and Burford are 15th with 23.6%

Kyle Shanahan winning 6 playoff games and making it to 3 NFCCGs with two different quarterbacks is a testament to the roster/talent, coaching and culture in San Francisco. You can deny it all you want, but its still fact.

For anyone who thinks Shanahan isn't elite should probably take off the hater goggles and look at the facts. Yeah, he hasn't won a SB, but Andy Reid didn't win a SB until his 15th postseason appearance, and he needed a generational QB to finally get it done. Fourteen times he went to the playoffs and got bounced before he got Mahomes.

Who Shanahan passed on because: Kirk Cousins.

Edit: all this talk about Shanahan being elite, because of record, while George Siefert is still not considered for the HoF. Sure he won with Walsh's talent, but he also had Carmen Policy as GM. Who drafted Jim Druckenmiller.

 

[drummer]

Could've sworn I read that somewhere...

I heard a 49er podcast talking about Darnold, and one guy pointed out that Shanahan tried to work it out with the Jets in order for Shanahan to draft Darnold. It obviously didn't happen, but he liked him then.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I don’t like the possibility of Purdy playing Sunday. If he was having symptoms on the plane Monday night, it seems too fast, to me.

I know the NFL mentality is not sitting out, no matter what, if there’s a chance you can play. But after the scares with Tua last year and all the questions about bringing him back too soon, I’m surprised at the possibility of Brock playing Sunday. Seems reckless, to me.

They can win this game with Darnold if the defense decides to show up. The worst thing that can happen if they decide to start Purdy instead is Purdy getting injured again, and Trent Williams may not be available this week (Deebo I think is still out), and Darnold has to come in anyway. Then the whole "Shanahan gets his QB's killed" starts all over again.

On a different note: I've been watching a lot of YouTube vids on the people who the movie "Casino" were based on. Joe Pesci's character was based on Tony "The Ant" Spilotro. He looks like Eddie D if you check out footage of him lol. They didn't call Eddie "The Godfather" for nothin'.

Carmen Policy actually represented mob guys who worked with the Chicago Outfit when he was a lawyer in Youngstown, Ohio.

1. Kyle Shanahan as an elite NFL head coach is hardly a hot take.

2. Trolling is something we never want. I don't know who is telling you to deal with it. Certainly not us. If you see trolling that is clearly trolling, please report it and the moderators will take a look.

With that said, it's a cool thing for fans of a team to come together and have a place to talk something they care about. For the most part, it seems like the cool thing to do there is respect that. And that goes for every team.

You didn't say "elite", you said "2nd best coach in the NFL". "2nd best coach" is maybe not a hot take, more like a mild take, but it is certainly debatable which is what happened here.

Here is a FBG Moderator response to reports of trolling in our thread on March 25, 2023:

Cowboys fans please be cool.

Eagles fans, please stop reporting every single post that remotely challenges you. You guys embrace the tough guy fan persona. Please cry less when someone gives a bit of that back to you.

Consider taking your debates with Joe and Wingnut to PMs and letting the rest of us have this thread to talk about our favorite football team.

Sorry, didn't mean to mess up your thread.

A fewbthings DC Steve Wilks said at his presser yesterday:

"I have to do a better job in putting the guys in a better position. We have good players, I know that and can’t really press the issue. "

"It starts with me from a standpoint of calls, got to look at my calls. We got to look at what we do from a coverage standpoint and giving those guys opportunities because when I evaluate the tape and I watch things, we’re this close. "

"I think we can do a better job on the back end in coverage, whether it’s man or zone, and allowing the quarterback to hold the ball a little longer. Watching tape, I think we’re close, I think we’re close a lot. We’re going to eventually get there. I’m not really pressing right now about the lack of production because I feel like it’s going to come."

"This defense is a unique defense, and there’s certain things that go with that particular defense. I’m learning that. There’s certain things that you can’t sway away from. So as we evaluate, as I evaluate and talk to the coaches, most importantly as well as Kyle, I see those things. So again, that’s why I’m not panicking. I know we have the personnel. I know we have the talent. I just got to do a better job putting them in a position.”

On learning a defense and coaching defense at the same time:

“You know it’s always challenging. When you’ve done your own thing for 17 years, it’s a little different, but I’m encouraged. I got a great supporting cast. These coaches around me are phenomenal. They know this defense. They know their craft. These players are great. So we’re all in this together, man. So I’m not hitting the panic button at all.”

The fact that the defensive coordinator is still "learning" the defense he's employing 7 weeks into the regular season is concerning to say the least.

Yeah it sounds like he wasn't a good fit from the get go.

Sure. Kyle Shanahan as 2nd best NFL Head Coach is easily where I see it. Hardly a hot take.

How you do rank the top 5 NFL coaches?

And absolutely stand by that. I see the reports that come in. No fan base whines on this forum with reports more than the Eagles. It's not remotely close.

No fanbase puts up with as much crap as the Eagles fanbase.

1. How much do you really believe that? Or do you mean sarcastically?
2. For putting up with stuff, where you do you mean? On this forum?

1. Bill Belichick
2. Andy Reid
3. John Harbaugh
4. Pete Carroll
5. Sean McVay

Not sure how you can say Shanahan is "easily" the 2nd best coach after Belichick won his 300th game, has 6 Superbowls and 3 COY awards. Shanahan would have to win 12 game a season for another 20 years to win 300 games. Harbaugh has 100 more wins, a COY and a Superbowl. Carroll has 100 more wins and a Superbowl. McVay has a Superbowl. Payton has a Superbowl. Pederson has a Superbowl. Hell, even Mike McCarthy has a Superbowl. Kyle Shanahan is best known for being on coaching staffs that blow leads in big games. C'mon Joe, you're doubling down on a bad take.

Joe every week there are Cowboy fans in that thread that come in to do nothing but fish. They don't offer analysis or debate. They just come and take pot shots. If you want I can pull examples. I don't think I need to, it's pretty obvious. I don't want to water down the 49er thread with non-49er talk anymore.
