Thank God we didn't resign our pro bowl LG. This O line sucks.

With what money?

Charvarius Ward's money? Above average 30 year old guard, or upcoming man cover CB? hmmm

The secondary was just as much of an issue last season as the O line. Can't blame them for going for a CB who can man up and cover. Tomlinson was straight ass in the playoffs which is probably why they decided to spend that money elsewhere.

we made the right choice

We got Banks for a reason and so far he looks like he will be a good starter. the issues i see with the OL the backups not the starters i actually think this /ol starting 5 is better than last year we had a huge issue with right side of line last year

I like all three IOL. I think they work well together. My only concern at this point is RT and swing OT.

Agree 💯%, and I'd rather they choose the 9 most athletically talented OLinemen, and let experience be a lower priority. Like Burford- he might be a rookie with no right tackle experience, but I'd still put him out there at Right Tackle if neither McKivitz or Skule have the physical talent to play right tackle, despite their experience. I think if Buford has physical talent, eventually he'll be a good right tackle with enough experience.

Exactly. Lol. The answer to your question is "no" not equivocation about "every team in the NFL" which also isn't true. No one argues absolutely that every single vet is better. It's about and always has been about finding players who can play.

But again, this is no longer an argument for me. The OL is a mess and many keep saying "it's fine". It's going to have to be demonstrated again for folks to believe. Evidence are found in practices when it's 1s vs 1s.

Again keep those fingers crossed. Rest of us will be rooting for them to play well.

I know you need to believe that I don't want the team to play well. Keep that world simple. Good v Bad. Light v dark. Us vs Them. Works for those who need to keep it easy:

"If you don't agree with me and the way I see it, you're not rooting for the team."

Shanahan expects Colton McKivitz to start at RT for the 49ers on Thursday. He says Mike McGlinchey is not healthy right now, won't practice this week

Curious to see where they mix in J. Moore this week.

Being that you've already decided they will be terrible yes I think it's more important to you to be right. Hell your username says it all.

Funny thing is none of the rest of us has ever said things are fine. It's just an understanding the team is dealing with the same issues everyone else is. I don't love McKivitz at all. But I've never seen much out there that's an improvement. Jordan Mills just proved that yesterday.

Is Poe still a scrub that will be lucky to make the practice squad?

No but you did say it was good enough when it clearly wasn't. You seem to be going down that same road with McKivitz and pivoting to gross generalizations again.

Do you REALLY think there was no way to upgrade over a dude like McKivitz? Particularly in a known year (again) that your RT has health issues?

Like GM noted, the OL are still talented coming into the league. Some still hit the ground running. The issue is prioritization, development and coaching. But we had 6 years for that.

Who would you have signed? Who's the upgrade?

I bring up the rest of the league because couldn't you say the same about Yosh Njiman in Green Bay? Hell both Packer OTs are coming off injury. Or Josh Wells in Tampa? Or the collection of crap that the Texans just dominated from the Rams? So if the majority has the same exact issue it begs the question on whether it's as easy as you guys suggest doesn't it?
