My point was that listing the Niners in the top 10 in explosive plays does not mean that they have an aggressive offense. I think I stand with the vast majority of fans and analysts who would agree that coaches who run the ball more are more "conservative" and coaches who pass the ball more are more "aggressive." This has been true for the history of the game as long as it's included forward passing. Finding outliers here and there does not take away from this fact. Same is true for coaches who call plays at a slower pace, that is more conservative. How often do they go for it on 4th down. Do they pass or run on 3rd and short. Plenty of metrics we can use, and prior to Purdy - all of them show that Kyle is conservative. So it seems pretty obvious that Purdy is helping Kyle become more aggressive; and in turn Kyle is helping Purdy not go YOLO and make stupid decisions. Again, this is the best combination a fan could hope for. So confusing why some in here are getting bent out of shape about it.

Putting the bulk of this aside, you argued that Kyle is 'risk adverse to deep passing'. That is seemingly the crux of what many of us are arguing against.

Joining the average fan in thinking more passing = more aggression is basically just a matter of preference in the type of offense you want to see.

Careful, someone is going to believe you're serious.

Correct.

Ghost route was shoved down our throats like tiers 🤣

Definitely not calling his own plays. But our receivers can't just take plays off and run lazy routes. You don't see much of that from BA and is probably why he has naturally become Brock's favorite target. Coverage dictates where the ball goes and no route is a clearing route. A checkdown is a missed opportunity to Brock according to what Kyle said.

This throw is very aggressive, we all agree. Kyle's aggressiveness (design) or Purdy's (guts, decision making)? 👀

There are absolutely clearing routes. And Deebo runs them lazily constantly. Watch some of JT's breakdowns (QB School on YouTube). It's maddening. Offense would be so much better if he ran every route with 100% effort.


FWIW - I would contend that ANY NFL coach worth his salt will only press as hard/fast as he believe his team can sustain.
**By that definition, EVERY great coach is conservative.**

If a coach presses harder (aggressive) than his team can sustain, you get turnovers and losses not Super Bowl wins.

Now...the sheer number of deep passes BP has completed argues that Kyle is quite confident in his QB (hasn't benched him yet). If you want to equate that to "aggressive"...cheers! If you don't think he does enough of it and call him conservative...take solace in the number of wins we have.

I really feel this whole debate hangs on your 'viewpoint'

Right but the idea that Kyle doesn't allow for a throw to that route in any circumstance is not supported in evidence.

You actually made the argument that Jimmy went along with that because he is a 'people pleaser' which I could only describe as some kind of bizarre fan fiction, lol.

I watch his breakdowns of Brock every week. Yes. He points out Deebo all the time for that. If Deebo ran all his routes with the same effort as Aiyuk, this offense could reach its full potential.

Jt also says again and again.. he doesn't know what are the intentions of each play.. he's just going off the film and adding his "opinion" not facts

let's change the narrative. Kid needs to show up this weekend vs one of the top teams in the league on the road to shut people up….he's not gonna get the love until he beats the top dog.
