2024 49ers Season

[CrimsonCrew]

Damn, that would be a first on McGlinchey (#9) and a second round pick on Banks. Maybe that's why they don't like to draft linemen high.

What a waste.

Agree on Hufanga and Greenlaw. Actually, the young players at safeties look at least as good as Hufanga these days. He had that one stretch where he looked like the next Polamau and nothing really standing out since.

Deebo has had a couple of big plays this season and last season turned a couple of short catches into huge plays, a decent season but still making too much for his production.

Unfortunately, Pearsall hasn't shown that he could come close to replacing Deebo's production from even last year. But Deebo may still be cap casualty.

I didn't see it myself, but was listening to a podcast that pointed out that when Huf went out briefly and Brown came in, the Bears went on their one long drive. Brown has seriously regressed this year. Mustafa looks like a keeper, but we need a second S. If Hufanga will take a reasonable one-year deal, I'm up for that.

Deebo just looks totally cooked. I don't think it matters if we can replace him or not. He doesn't deserve the reps based on how he has played. We should at least be trying Pearsall and Cowing.

Huf played very well in his first game back, finishing with our 5th highest PFF grade among defensive players. Makes me wonder how much better he could play if he had 2 hands! My concern about a Mustafa/Huf duo going forward is that both are natural strong safeties and neither have the speed/coverage skills to be a good free safety. This is why a Huf/Gipson duo did so well even though Mustafa may well be a better player than Gipson was then in a vacuum. When we drafted Brown, part of his attractiveness was that he played both safety spots in college, although he has declined during the team's recent losing streak.

Deebo has looked like toast all season. His contract and (lack of) play make it difficult to trade him, so the most likely scenario would be to release him this off-season and designate him as a post-June 1 cut to try and defray the cost over two years. Don't know what to make of Pearsall. At times he looks like a keeper and then he just disappears. He gained 39 yards on a jet sweep (still his ONLY rushing attempt this season) and after that it seems that Kyle forgot all about him.

Looks like IG might be a game time decision.

We haven't kept a team out of the end zone in the red zone in the past three games. We're getting worse.

This season is a lost cause. I hope at some point the coaches and FO start planning for next season. Maiocco thinks the 49ers are gong to let Banks walk. If so let the guy who played last week start more games to see if he could be real deal or just a one game fluke. Don't rush injured guys back. Let them rest. If a player needs surgery, shut it done now and get them back working during the offseason and TC. I always remember during the Baalke era they kept Armstead playing the entire season with a bad shoulder even though it affected his performance and the team was playing for nothing. Then because they put off his surgery he missed games the following season.

Yea I can see Banks walking. He's been solid for us at LG. But teams these days are willing to break the bank on Gs. As far as our free agents, I can see them re-signing Hufanga and Greenlaw to one year prove it deals. As for cap casualties, teams can only designate two players as post June 1 cuts - for us that would be Deebo and Hargrave. That would open up significant cap space. If not Deebo, then Floyd - his would open 8 million. Lots of prunes to trim around the bushes. Also what about JP Mason? He's a RFA. Do we tender him? And of course there is Brock and his contract.

Wouldn't say solid. Has struggled at times during the season, particularly pass blocking which has been ok overall

Didn't know that Banks is from El Cerrito.

Maybe he'd give a hometown discount but some team is going to offer him a big contract. Maybe not the contract that top guards get but still enough to set him up for life after football.

This is obviously Purdy's fault.

Back to back seasons of the league knee capping the 49ers with by the worst scheduling structure by far.

Hey NFL, how about we kind of smooth that out a bit next season. What do you say?

[Jikkle]

Something that has caught my eye throughout the season, including a few of the pass plays that didn't work out yesterday: our rollouts don't seem to be working. It seems like every time we roll Purdy out, the DE stays home and immediately gets in his face. He's still made some plays, but it's been pretty dicey at times.

Anyone have any observations about what's going on with this? Are we tipping something? How do the DEs always seem to know?

I'd guess it's not a case that we're tipping but a case of DEs being coached to always chase the QB if the run action goes away from their side and the QB rolls out.

Would need to do a film study on it to confirm that to see if the DE is chasing the QB when he fakes the bootleg but I have a hunch that's probably what it is since it makes sense as the backside DE more often than naught doesn't make a tackle on a run away from them so he's likely to have more impact just chasing the QB down every time for those times the QB is doing a bootleg.

We need an actual true FS as Huff, Brown, and now Mustafa all fit that SS mold. I think they were hoping Brown would develop more as a FS but so far he's looking like he can't handle it.

Huff is physically limited but he makes up for it by quickly recognizing what's in front of him and reacting to it especially compared to Brown who isn't seeing the field well at all and is slow to react to everything.

I'd be in favor of signing Huff to a one year prove it deal to and see how things pan out because while I hope Brown can still put it together you also can't be banking on that.

[Pattersonca65]

If this is true of the restructures than it could be a good deal. Deebo looks done and while Hargrave has played fairly well at times. (PFF gives him a good pass rush grade but a poor run defense grade) he hasn't played up to that contract and isn't worth it.

The failure to develop our two rookie receivers is frustrating. Is it them or Kyle or Purdy? They have both shown enough flashes to deserve more, and we need the speed.

Feels more and more like when the wheels fell off the Harbaugh Niners.

Season from hell. Bill Simmons called it before our season even started. Dude is looking like Nostradamus right now.

[Harry Palmer]

We should imo sit anyone of importance to our future who is even slightly hurt and play the other important players sparingly. Get them some recompense for all the added games/crap rest time over the past few seasons and improve our draft capital in what figures to be our most important draft in years. That’s a double reload for next season, added higher value rookies and an injection of rejuvenated pros.

Also don’t let whoever has been handling our early draft picks anywhere near the phones on draft day.

This team needs more than a reload. We need to tear it down and rebuild from the ground up.

Packers are destroying the Seahawks. The Rams are going to win the division, aren't they?

I don't know who I hate more, Rams or Seahawks. I guess slightly Rams.

Seattle was going nowhere division or not with Gino Smith at QB. I dont think the Rams will either but they have more firepower and have a chance if they get hot

[RIPskaterdude]

I wonder how many rings this team has if they picked up Brady (after the 1st SB) or Stafford

Hard to say. Water under the bridge at this point
