Congrats and welcome back to the madhouse!

And Niners will die in playoffs with the same QBs as they have in the past 5 years. Predictable QBs, in playoffs who can not throw deep, defenses can prepare easily for them and good teams in playoffs will beat them. The field becomes small, defend 25 yards, challenge them to throw deep, but cover short passes and can't run successfuly. History will repeat itself this year and that will be the end of Kyle.

C'mon, even if you are still butthurt at Kyle about Trey not being able to play, just post on your real account instead of making up a burner, be a man. Or is it already banned? I like to know who is entertaining me by setting aside the time to embarrass themselves in a public forum.

He will have ah huge test against the steelers who are probably going to end up a top 5 D by the end of the year. Super excited and I think he will have a huge season. They are weak in middle of the field so I expect a lot of deebo and CMC this game

Purdy is a captain his first year as starter.

Trey not a captain when he was anointed starter.

This just tells you either how much shannahan thinks of purdy, or how he really thought of lance.

Do we have the players decide on captains or is it the coaching staff? If it is the players, then it would reflect how they thought of each QB. Although with Lance, they never had an 8 game winning streak with him the year prior, so was hard to vote for a guy coming in to start that had no winning experience on the team.

Purdy led this team to the NFC championship game and then threw a pass when he had no elbow ligament attached. He earned this C. I think it's fair to say that his scenario differs from Lance who hadn't really proved anything prior to starting last season. Can we stop being hyper focused on Lance already?

players vote for captains the coach doesn't assign captains

I do believe the reports that the locker room was upset the starting job was "given" to Lance instead of Jimmy G which is why I don't think he was voted as captain

I guess thats even worse for lance if the players didn't even vote him in.

Well you see, if George Kittle is out there that makes the QB read defenses better, process faster, play with more poise in the face of a rush, throw more accurately… etc.

Yeah, you don't have to have everyone out there in order to play good. If Brock needs all pros at every position just to have a good game, then he himself is trash.

having good talent around you makes it easier, but he can still play well if dwelley is in there, or anyone.

What some fail to realize that even if a play doesn't work, doesn't mean the QB didn't play well.

That's why I never understood that argument for Trey. Trey struggled to do the little things right, that makes a qb play well.

The argument for Trey was that if/when he got the little things, he had a LOT more than that to add.

But I will die on the hill and say Trey is not here for one reason: Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy played like a Pro Bowl QB at a fraction of the cost. That short circuited any desire for the team to wait for Trey to develop. That's BY FAR the most important factor here.

I think rain imoproves the 49ers chances of winning. Though I have said from the start I think (on a sunny day) the 49ers win by 10.

I don't. This helps out Pissburgh a lot. We're more talented and bad whether equalizes talent.

Purdy had a higher completed air yards per pass attempt than Patrick Mahomes. He is not the best deep ball thrower, but he has a feel for when to do it and it results in more success at it than Jimmy G had. He also moves and improvises a lot better than Jimmy. And keep in mind how close we got with Jimmy.

I believe Purdy is a bit better than Jimmy. And I believe that may well be enough to get us over the hump.

Good lord... Your smoldering, scintillatingly sensual feelings for Jimmy burn so strongly you STILL hate Lance even though he's nearly two thousand miles away.

I believe for the 49ers that players vote their choices and Kyle simply chooses the number of captains. So there's some checks and balances lol.

I pretty much agree on this point.

The Trey injuries did also play a role. Having said that, Purdy looks like a generational talent. If he can handle BlitzBurg the way I think he can, he'll be setting more records and breaking more records this Sunday. CMC is going to be a big part of calming that blitzing defense down. I also think Brock's arm strength is being underrated. The blitz will force Brock to throw deep in this game.
