I've always wondered, what if Kinlaw goes to Seattle or Las Vegas and becomes Chris Jones by the time he's 28
We've stuck by Kinlaw and given him chances. I think if we give him a fair offer, he should stay and keep working under Kocurek. If it doesn't work out, OK, but I'd give him at least a two year deal to see if he can become more than a reserve.

Last time the 49ers played the Chiefs in the Superbowl, 99 had a monster game. I don't remember the numbers, but it was something like 2 sacks and 3 QB hits. Big players make big plays in big games.
We need another huge game from our current 99. Keep those pads low, violent hands, chop those feet and fire off the f**king ball with bad intentions, Kinlaw.

I like it. Maybe some faith for a week or so, and see what happens. At a certain point when you make or indeed win the SB, we may have to dial the complaints back.

Yeah I mean no guarantee either way. I know Kyle has had a mindset of not just stockpiling at positions but I think that should only be the case if you have great depth and great starters already in one spot. We don't have that with our roster in quite a few areas. Our defensive depth across the board is honestly pretty poor. But specifically we lack quality interior depth.

Could be his last game as a 49er. If he balls out, can't afford him. If he's not good, don't want to keep him.

Kinlaw has made improvements this season. Not surprisingly, it's also his first healthy season since his rookie year and since his big knee surgery. DTs take a while to develop coming from college so when we take a step back and look big picture, he's actually progressing at a normal pace if you consider how much rehab he's had to do that prevented him from practicing and getting better. While he hasn't progressed as much as we'd like as a pass rusher, I don't see him getting pushed 2-3 yards off the line anymore on run plays.

There's no way he becomes Chris Jones lol 😂 His 80yr old knees will be shot by then.
We just need another DJ Jones to rotate in.

These dudes can have a 3 sack game and they still should let him walk. He's just wasting a roster spot. Hope he balls out and then rolls out.

Agree. Kinlaw has good plays, but doesn't really stack good games. Let him walk and get the comp pick.
