That is to mold an offense around your QB's strengths and try to limit the exposure of his limitations. Again, it won us alot of games. But somewhere down the line Kyle realized Jimmy hit his ceiling and it wasn't enough.

This.

Agreed!

Jimmy/Lance?? lol. Lance never even got going.

How did Nick Mullens get left out? He damn near has 5,000 yards passing here. He didn't hold us back, but Lance did?

why did you cut this part out?

"Obviously Lance barely played but he was clearly not ready."

he always does that to my posts. lol especially regarding Lance. He's just bummed that Lance didn't work out and is now a third string QB for our arch nemesis. I guess in a way, we are all upset about that. lmao sucks to lose all that capital but at least we got dirty Purdy out of all of it.

he does that to most people's posts.

Feel the same. At minimum we needed someone either a lot more explosive or a lot more consistent.

We managed to hit the jackpot getting both with Brock.

We need to stop being such a sensitive fan base and reacting to clowns like wright and Cohn. That's their schtick, just don't pay them any mind

Yeah, I never watch/read Cohn or Wright. That's the best way to get them to change their ways. They love it when we talk/b***h about the non sense they spout.

think of it this way. Everytime any of us say their name or watch/read their stuff, they make money. If you want them to change, stop reading/watching/talking about their takes - hit them in the wallet. Once that happens, they'll stop.

No, I mean we can react.

I mean, honestly do you think either one of them even know we exist, screen name or real name?

Possibly Cohn checks this place out or reads stuff since he covers the team. Almost guarantee Nick Wright does not.

If anything, reacting to them lets others know that they are idiots. What they do to that is on them.

I don't spend time on either one of them in terms of watching or reading. Every once in a while I'll click on something on here from Sports Illustrated knowing it's from Grant Cohn. I just typically marvel at the fact that Sports Illustrated pays this guy to write pieces at a grade school level.

But personally, if they say or do something stupid, I'll say it's stupid.

Large scale, you guys are correct for the most part. Small scale, individual level, point out that they're constantly dumb and move on.

For me anyway
I'm just saying it makes them more famous. More views. More clicks. Name recognition. Stuff like that. It's like that old saying "any publicity is good publicity".

for example, I know a lot of s**t Cohn says because of people b***hing about him in here and what he's doing. Otherwise, he isn't in my world orbit at all. Doesn't exist. Same with nick Wright. I don't watch him, read him, I purposely dknt watch his stuff - but I know his take cause people bringing them up. That's what I mean - they win, because as long as their names being mentioned and gains more recognition - it's better for them and their employer.

overall, I get what you're saying. Im just saying I think it plays on a small scale too. A lot of a little is still a lot

Maybe

Personally I'd be tempted to walk up to them and public and call them a total moron. And I'm nonconfrontational and a nice guy.

But sometimes a little "Why are you such a moron" is good for the soul. Or one can say so anyway.

I mean, I legitimately don't get why someone would want to make a living being that way. But, different strokes I suppose.

Cohns such a douche lol. If he wanted to make money being a contrarian, why the s**t did he pick the 49ers to write about?

Hasn't said anything worth merit in…. Has he ever said anything worth merit?
Brock Purdy can throw the deep ball to Aiyuk for 76 yards and TD. Awesome.. He is improved for step up to levels.. Jimmy G cant throw the deep balls because he is suck!

Sure have...every pass can't be over the middle. Gotta be able to use the whole field

Finally a qb who understands the big picture and isn't scared.

every player "wants to win" but few want it as bad as a player like Brock. Brock comes off as the type that hates losing more than he enjoys winning. He also has a love/obsession with the game, those are really important qualities that I think a guy needs to be able to potentially be elite.

To think that those of us who were pushing for the threat of a deep ball got a lot of push back from some really credible posters on the zone. The threat of the deep ball changes how defenses defend you. Period.

member those deep routes were labeled by some as ghost or decoy routes as an attempt to hide their favorite QB ?

Actually what we said was you don't throw deep just to throw deep. It needs to be with purpose and to complete the pass. Many said we should just chuck it deep just to do it.

Now just imagine what this offense could look like with an actual #1 WR who can consistently win deep.

no one said to just chuck it deep. film was presented of wide open guys.. then it was countered as ghost/decoy routes

and as for #1 WR, Aiyuk has been here way before Brock
