Solutions - How do the 49ers get out of this mess?

Shop Find 49ers gear online
It's time to face facts that this team is not playoff of Super Bowl ready.

Us fans were sold a dud by Shanahan and Lynch this year.

How do they get out of the mess they created and re-float the 49ers ship to number 6?

So put your armchair GM and HC hat on and get creative.

My solution is
1. put Trey in. Move Jimmy on or to the side
2. Give the coaching time to learn like Salah could.
3. Stop bringing in injury history players in key roles.
4. Lower the expectation and encourage senior players to be leaders.
5. Stop the arrogant BS and stick to designing and calling plays Mr Shanahan.
6. Train harder and encourage discipline in everyone.
7. Get rid of yes men in the staff.
8. Tell Paraag to back off and keep in your lane.
9. Get better S&C staff.
10. Let J Lynch be a GM or move him to another PR role.
Change ownership. End thread.
There is no quick fix. Mainly, get younger and healthier. Love on from vets like Ward, Tart, Verret, Mostert, Jimmy etc. Don't touch guys with extensive injury histories.
I would say bottom out but that's impossible with no first round picks. Plus this team will still have cornerstones in Bosa, Warner, Kittle, and Deebo….although, if we had our 1sts in 22 I'd move Trent and Kittle in the off-season.
The biggest problem in my eyes is they used up draft capital to acquire Lance. The consolidation of assets for a franchise qb is a great move, I just think they took the absolute wrong guy.
Soooo if it was me and I had full autonomy, If strip it down, meaning trading Lance, Williams and Deebo and finding a whole new identity on offense. But, realistically, you just have to hope Lance is the real deal and you have to hit on at least 3 or 4 picks over the next two years for impact and others for depth. We have a lot of fringe nfl talent supplying depth right now.

You cannot unring the bell. You cannot trade Lance. He won't fetch you nearly what he cost. Unfortunately, the team is in a holding pattern, and they have to hope (hope is a last resort, and something I never incorporate when making a decision--but it is what it is) Lance works out.
this is a good idea, so how do we make sure Kyle and John see this list or our ideas?

I agree. I was just saying if I personally took over the reigns.

We're stuck - we can't move foward because Kyle said there is no QB competition. So, we're stuck having to play Jimmy and regulating Trey to the bench. You see what's happening in Chicago - Fields is gaining confidence because he's playing. Trey needs to be playing and gaining confidence for next year. It's just too bad Kyle is sticking with Jimmy - but, I guess he's trying to up his stock for when they trade him.

Stop shooting themselves in the foot with inexcusable mistakes.
PJ Fleck is the right coach !!

he's the ANSWER !!
Fire Shanahan. This season is done.
  • Trade Lynch to ESPN for Louis Riddick
  • Hire Scott McCloughan back
  • Send Shanny to HC bootcamp and force him to relinquish more of the game planning/calling to Mike McDaniel

Actually a great topic. Would love for the people to speak there Football minds
This is what I would do..

Convince either Cris Petersen or PJ Fleck...

Then hire the Vikings HC (will be gone after this season) as our DC... he's a very good DC..
