Least healthiest team in the league....

Think about how bad the Bucs looked on SNF and then think about the crap our HC and QB have taken this year...

No surprise here as the 49ers and Washington battle as #1 and #2 as the most injured annually over the past 8 years on the aggregate average rank. 8 years!

Great stuff NC!

My pleasure, bud. But, this is my least favorite thread of mine for obvious reasons. LOL

And credit to FO's AGL...definitely the most widely respected comprehensive stat. I just put it all together so you can see us compared to the rest of the league and see the line over and under that greatly increases or decreases your chances of making the playoffs.

Injuries (health) are as strong of a correlation as it gets...like the number of turnovers in a game and the odds of winning.

Absolutely agree, and that's (I think) cap has spread the talent so thin across the entire NFL. Urban Meyer said in a conversation with Vic Fangio, it was like [Ohio] playing Alabama every sunday. That's how thin the talent pool is for every team. I just hope we keep playing more on grass next year vs Astro-Crete. We won't know the schedule for next year, for obvious reasons, but that's the first thing I'll look at for *next* season -- where are the astro-turf games --- just prepare myself mentally for those disasters waiting to happen.

I think the front office took notice of your thread - via the lazy beat writers (For example: Cohn) - seeing your injury thread and writing about it, or talking to the coaches and/or front office personnel and whalla, the team becomes aware of this glaring issue.

He sure is one Dumbum.
Whats going on with Hurst and Sanu?
The team is sans Sanu and Hurst hurts.

Sorry but humor is the only way to deal with the injuries.

Carolina's had to resort to taking Cam Newton back for a year,...lol. We're fine this year. No excuses.

Imagine the 2019 season and Kyle's 2016 Falcon offensive showcase.

Agree, I hear Dr. Sum Ting Wong is actually part owner now and he's not going to be fired.

But I think if I was Kyle, I'd change my draft strategy. He already has to a certain extent - by drafting players using a much more stringent medical review and assessment. Huf is an example of a player Kyle maybe would have drafted in day 2 but instead drafted him in day 3. I think much more is needed. I think you just throw more bodies at each position. They do a pretty good job of drafting on day 3. Just have more day 3 picks by trading some draft capital down. Like this last draft, they took Sermon *and* Mitchell, they took Banks *and* Moore, Thomas *and* Lenoir. Those moves have paid off in an injury sense. We have had good depth at RB and OLine this year - even with Mostert lost for the season, same with McGlinchy and Verett. I think they need to trade down more, get more bodies, and the model I'm advocating for that is the '86 draft.

I think if there's more competition, it forces players to take better care of their bodies. Example is Jimmy, because he knows Trey is waiting in the wings, he's much more careful about his body. He's still, on occasion, taking on linebackers, but I've seen more throws in the dirt and more just going down and getting out of bounds, vs him trying to get a first down by taking on that linebacker near the sideline.

The've drafted WRs - Trent Taylor, Dante, Richie, Deebo, Jalen, Aiyuk, and Jennings. That's 8 picks - and if you count Deebo, Aiyuk and Jennings as hits, that's a hit rate of a little under 40% I just say draft more WR's, and let the creme rise to the top. Draft more RB's, Draft more DB's etc... because it's been 8 years and counting and the 49ers have been at the top 5 as an injured team those 8 years NC's been keeping track. The people they draft **WILL** get injured, not if, and I say it's better to have (for example) three good RB's vs one outstanding RB and two average ones.

That is true comedy. I defer.
My analysis after 7 years, We're still injured.

More on this matter in 7 years.

Yup, and we still appeared in a super bowl.

On top of that, the playoffs are in reach this year.

All that despite the injury situation not getting better - three starters out - Verett, Mostert, and McGlincy.
