DeForest Buckner Traded to the Colts

I didn't use any numbers, what I said was the team went into a downward trajectory coinciding with the trade.

your top leader retired on offense which you can not prevent.. but the team under valued the leadership on defense not to mention his good play. dumped buck and then force fed a guy with bad knees down our throat. defend it all you want... it is in the top ten of worst player moves in the history of our team. i would do top five but. with lawrence phillips number one. oj number two. letting lott go number three. trading haley number four letting watters go without having a good back up number 5.. i would put it at six

Since you're wrong on 90% of your takes. I'm not worried

And that statement implies, that would not have happened, or they wouldn't suck if he was still a 49er. I apologize if I came off harsh, I just get frustrated when fans equate the 49ers not being "elite" to not having him. Yes, they miss his leadership, there has been a dropoff in the effectiveness of the 49ers pass rush/pressure rate, but last time I checked the 49ers defense has performed better than IND over the last year and a half. The 49ers run defense never ranked higher than middle of the pack in the 4 years he was a 49er.

No, but we very well could be 7-3 and in contention for the 1 seed if there was a pass rush in the first half of the season.

Eehhh....here comes the if. If also applies to the offense. We can say if Mostert were healthy. If Kittle were healthy all season. If Mitchell was healthy all season. On defense if Verrett were healthy or Ford all year. Let's not do that.

In their 5 losses the 49ers offense scored:

28 (only 7 in the 1st half)
21 (a TD in garbage time)
10
18
17

I'd say the defense has performed above expectations all things considered outside of 1 game (the Arizona game 3 weeks ago).

Buckner is a great player, but some here seem to think he is a game wrecker like LT, Reggie White, or Donald. I think his best trait, for a team that battles injuries, is he rarely misses time.

Buckner made everyone better, never missed a snap an never got hurt. Losing him ALONG with Dee Ford going full potato is what made our defense go downhill.

We should have kept him. You can go to the Super Bowl with DeForest Buckner.
