The OL was not a problem all year, they did great considering the injuries to Staley, Richburg, & McG. Person got worked over by Chris Jones and now he's gone. Brunskill is younger and better than Person at RG.

We're trying to UPGRADE the IOL...not get by with hope and faith. The FO needs to learn from its mistakes. Superbowl was case confirmation 101.
how did we get to the super bowl?
Pass rush of AA, Bosa and Ford (some Buck too), scheme mastery, superior run blocking, rushing, clock control and 3rd down conversions.
Why did we lose?
Pass protection as a unit, soft shell defense in key situations, coverage breakdown, not coverting on timely 3rd & 4th downs (pass protection + good plays by their defense).
So the OL was only a problem during the SB? Got it.
No, it was an issue the entire year. It was 'worked around' a ton...until the talent needed to stand on its own on the biggest stage. Like KC's did.

Why'd the 49ers release Mike Person? The $2.5m salary-cap break is nice, but it begins and ends with a need for better pass protection.

Person ranked No. 51 of 61 qualifying guards in PFF's pass-blocking efficiency. I wrote about this last month here: https://t.co/behnIHcqlc pic.twitter.com/wEXhz8gWbM

Unreal.

Run blocking, very good. Pass protection, very bad. Hence why we passed the least amount in the NFL and had both Juice and Kittle, 7 staying in to help pass protect against 5 and were still failing in the most important 4Q of the year...the Superbowl.
Yes, it was an issue. THE issue if you really watched closely and paid attention to it.

Be sure that it's already agreed upon. We're not the Rams with Ramsey.
One big piece of this: Had the #Vikings done the deal with Trent Williams, he would've gotten an extension. With the #49ers, no extension is included in the deal and none is imminent.

parameters could be agreed upon
Then a deal would be imminent.

that's crazy!

That's not the way the Niners like to do things.
Why get an agreement in place when you can always overpay later (Garoppolo), or give the player a chances to walk away if you don't massively over pay (Sanders)?
It's more fun that way. Smarter too.
