That's true.
Obviously I hope he gets it off his back.
But over the years, he's squandered so many picks in the first 3-4 rounds. They've made up for it with great trades -- CMC -- and hitting on some late round players -- Kittle, Purdy.
Still those top pick misses have at least hurt depth.
And for all the praise he gets for play calling, he's had bad game management a lot of the times before the CMC trade.
We will see if he gets over the hump.
I mean most would love to miss on high picks if you are going to get Purdy, Kittle, Warner, Hufanga, Greenlaw etc. Same thing with play calls, he made mistakes but you'll take those mistakes if you are going to get the best offensive mind in the game.
He really has been unlucky with quarterbacks both injuries and in quality. Part of it his fault(could have drafted Mahomes, wanted to hold on for Cousins) but also he has been very unlucky (injuries to Jimmy G, last year to Purdy).
Shanahan is the reason I like Niners lol, big fan of his intelligent management
