#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters former first-round DT Javon Kinlaw had season-ending knee surgery. "They think they solved the problem."

"What knee?"

Scouts don't draft, GMs do and if your "becoming comfortable" with a medical file most of the league has flagged, you better have some serious inside medical knowledge or a be a damn good orthopedic doc yourself.

Agreed.

You'd think that for a team that has suffered historic injuries that the personnel dept. would be circumspect about spending high picks on players with injury flags. Yet that's exactly what we did with Kinlaw, who I now have as a momentous bust.

What is really bizarre to me it's that the FO trumpeted the fact that no injured players were drafted nor did we trade for any injured players. Same goes for FAs. First i heard of problems was when Kin had some "tendinitis ' problems, sometime after draft and into season. Then the OTHER knee problem , whatever it was…was reported much later on, no big deal. Then PS this yr and BOOM…and now surgery.

BTW, any word on exactly WHAT KIN had? And what was done. The fact he's out for the yr limits the choices substantially, but still I'd like to know.

lol he will still be 24 at the start of next season. He had a legitimate problem with his knee that the surgeon found and corrected.

Are you cynical 100% of the time? I think you actually enjoy being right over a player you don't like being a success.

a healthy kinlaw

Has nothing to do with his knees getting flagged for arthritis though

Those are the flash plays I was hoping were going to be a more consistent thing this year. Hope they got it fixed, not counting on it though

Welp, that's that.

Hopefully, this surgery fixes the problem.

We want him back and healthy, he's only 24. But for many of us watching the recovery process of oft injured, or flagged players they just don't make it back to expectations. Hurd, Jet McKinnon to name recent ones. Holding my breath on Ford every time he comes out.

According to Peter King, we have the same scout team (Adam Peters exception) that Baalke had. If that's true, someone needs to be fired for allowing that.

Defo's stats may not show it but he was effective day 1, much more than Arik. We traded away one of our team leaders, per Joe Staley, and it shows. We struck out on Kinlaw, plain and simple. Imagine how much more dominant Bosa would be this year with Defo.

I'll never believe Lynch or Shanny's draft hype ever again. They suck at it; especially last year. I wish they'd hit on day 1 and 2 like they do in the later rounds. They must fix this. The Bosa pick was a no brainer....

I haven't read this but if true it's probably a Paraag decision.

I wish just once the FO would post or announce exactly what or how each member of the FO decides on trades, and who, and extension of contracts. The DeFo thing….the longer i think about it , the more is sounds like a money guy with this great idea….Paraag. I wish FO would clear this up because if Paraag is doing anything other than working out contracts, then we better be prepared for another 20 yrs of lousy FO work.

JL and kyle get all the blame. For once, i would love the FO to tell us…."Is Paraag in any way shape or manner got anything to do with talent selection in draft, FA, or trades. "Same goes for who gets extension. Think about the Buck deal…does the reasoning there really sound like JL…or kyle…OR..
Paraag? Ask yourself that.

He still has all that raw potential of keeping benches warm.

This FO is a dumpster fire. If they say "It's fine he should be on the field soon" its IR. If they say "we have no doubt he will be a solid contributor" count on them being cut or preseason IR next season. Personnel decisions need to be stripped from Shanalynch and just given to Peters. Put Lynch in a glorified team president position like they did with Elway and let Peters take control.

Two things:
1. He probably came into the season needing surgery, but the thinking was he could play through it if the 49ers challenged for a division title or the playoffs
2. Once it became clear that the 49ers weren't going to challenge for anything other than the cellar, the decision was made to go ahead with the procedure.

I think this also means that, at some point, Trey Lance is going to assume the role as starting QB. He could replace Jimmy as early as this week against the Bears, or it may happen down the road. But I suspect, at some point, it will happen.

Ahh the old underperforming go on IR and give the fans hope the player will come back better than ever. Clever if Ward and AA didn't use this move to mediocrity

i think you're reading too much into it. if kinlaw was healthy he'd be playing, regardless of our record.

10th time is a charm?

The 49ers had hoped that multiple offseason procedures would have helped get Kinlaw to 100 percent for this season, but the setbacks continued, and the effects of the injury still linger.

But he's not healthy. I don't know if he ever was. This is just pure speculation on my part. Nothing more.

Could I possibly be wrong? Absolutely. I often am.
