Arizona is next, Kittle will still be out and if this is turf toe for Purdy (no indications yet but I am not sure what else would cause you to be out with a toe) he could easily be out too. Plus any other new injuries come up. It is hard to be optimistic

A generic term like "toe injury" could be lots of things: a different type of sprain than turf toe, fracture, dislocation, stubbed or bruised, torn/broken/or detached toenail, laceration, something creating tendonitis or bursitis, etc.
But yeah, I agree with the injury luck of this teams it is kinda hard to be optimistic.

McKivitz has quietly come into his own at what is maybe the weakest position in the NFL (RT in particular). He's not spectacular, but he's been very solid, and I think he gets $20+ million on the open market this offseason if he plays the way he did last year so we get the home-team discount. He also did things the right way, showing up and busting his ass every day of camp. OT still a huge need, obviously, but we just couldn't go into this offseason with two holes at OT, which was a realistic prospect prior to this move.
They treat 3rd round picks like 6th or 7th rounds. They just need to promote whoever drafts in rounds 4 to 7 to handle the whole thing.clyde21 wrote:Rejoice, Moody is finally gone
there needs to be a full investigation into why Lynch/Kyle thought it was a good idea to draft *the* worst kicker in the NFL in the 3rd round.
Pretty amazingly bad choice. Finally cutting bait is a great, although that means we are still going to be weak in the kicking game picking up someone now. Can't be worse though.clyde21 wrote:Rejoice, Moody is finally gone

I think that Trent is a massive concern. Was supposed to be a major strong point but could be a weakness now. A big gamble to think he can beat father time.

Kittle still very good but at his age and cap number they should have groomed a replacement.

They did.
In 2023 they took Latu in the 3rd, and and Willis in the 7th. Unfortunately Latu was total trash. Willis' ceiling appears to be a special teamer, with next to no value on offense. Although being a 7th rounder, you can't really expect anything more than that from Willis.
So its not that they haven't drafted a TE, its just they haven't drafted a decent one.

Careful with that kind of statement.
We all thought that Special Teams couldn't get any worse after last season, but....
Regardless, Moody absolutely had to go. It was long past due, fortunately he finally got pink slipped before he cost the 49ers a game this season.
And yeah, riding the carousel of kickers doesn't exactly paint the brightest outlook. Still the bar has been set so damn low, that even being below average would be an improvement. So there is some reason for optimism.
Not sure what they are up to these days, but from what I remember Slye and McClaughlin were pretty solid when there were brought in to fill in for Gould in recent seasons. If they are currently free agents, and still stay in regular kicking shape/mentality, bring em in for a workout.
