Ha. Exactly.

Does anyone have the full details on his injury history?

Google does

Haha.

Here's a crazy theory: Our coach and GM is more concerned about collecting talent than injuries. They will take chances for discount prices for superstars, or potential superstar players, and concern themselves with injuries later. Like it or not, but they love a great Clearance Item deal,...open box or not.

CMC is yet another example.

What this does is perhaps lead to a higher injury rate than most teams. But what it also does is give us a chance to be deeper and more talented than other teams once the playoffs come around. 2 NCCCG births in 3 years. You may not like the strategy they

It's actually not a crazy theory -- unlike many others hawked here in this thread. Unlike those, I can provide evidence to back it up. Sometimes it works out (Hufanga, etc.),...sometimes it doesnt (Dee Ford, Reuben Foster).

The main question I have for posters that say "why us" and point to the training staff, AI, nutrition, stretching, et. al. is how are you not noticing this trend?

CMC is an example of a move that kinda says you're lost in the wind if you don't understand how we like to fill out our roster.

NC how do you feel right now that we added one of the most injury prone players in the league to our roster all ready full of dudes who stay on the injury report

holy hell does our FO make decisions that make no sense or what. CMC is crazy talented ya. but we are setting records for amounts of injuries and now we go an spend resources on one of the most injured RBs in the league. i dont even know what to say about that kind of strategy.

pray for us

Are we not a competitive team that's stacked with talent?

Would you rather have a much healthier Carolina Panthers-level team to follow? I mean,...would that be more entertaining desirable in your mind?

Yea...on the injury report. Sure. What about it, though? If you keep following football, you're going to keep seeing players get injured.

please save these posts.

so when CMC goes down, JG10 goes down, ward goes down again...so on an so forth, we can reference back to when the fans not in denial pointed out that adding injury prone players to an injury prone team is like pouring gasoline on a fire. hate to rain on everyones parade but again we have to be realistic.

that being said i love that our team is one of the most talented an deepest rosters in the league. thats awesome. but how much is all that talent worth when its on IR? or the bench "recovering". or not able to play due to some injury. ZERO. all that talent is worth NOTHING when it constantly cannot play. so the "talented roster" argument is completely invalid.

2 NFCCG trips in 3 years. 1 SB birth. A wasted, injury-filled year in-between. Not good enough at this point for you to buy in?

how do you think those seasons would have ended differently if we had say just 1 or 2 players available that were injured during those games? i rest my case

also i think this FO has proven they dont believe the Center position exists in football

Huh? They've been able to fill the roster with talent to begin with due to the methods they have used.

We're not in a good position to begin with without it. You can't put the cart before the horse.

LOL. That's terrific.

I would imagine his, "Chance of Injury in 2022 = 84%" moves to 100% the second he became a 49er?

I mean, it's what we do, isn't it?

Like all the others, love the player and love the balls to go get him, but in the back of my mind, that elephant is large. I'm happy we have high end depth now in Mitchell+ just in case.

From a scheme position, I know the Shanahan's have a history of driving RB's into the ground until they are broken, but it wouldn't surprise me this time, to see Kyle actually dial back to preserve him. In short, it's highly unlikely he is the bell cow that he's been all through college until now. He'll be featured but not an every-down back. Maybe?

That was my presumption.

That should be a great thing.
