To expect that they somehow "replace" CMC's passing game production even partially is absurd (which makes my point for me),...and Kyle didnt try to gameplan towards it either.
Does he really require dynamic players like CMC and Kittle to do well himself? Can he do well without perhaps the best LT in the game through it all as well? Or does it all fall apart?
If it does then same question: What is his true cap-space value? If you are sure it's well over $50M he can eat up and we're still good then ok,...but that's you. We will see.
Let's not pretend like there are not still pertinent questions to be answered.
So basically you want to see Brock produce without any dynamic players on offense to give you faith enough to extend him?
...which QB has done that again? You loved to remind us how showing Mahomes' lackluster play per his own standards once his offense was banged up was dumb because he was still getting it done and winning games.
How did that go in the SB when he didn't get refs giving him second chances left and right and had to deal with some protection issues and drops? Surely an elite QB like him could've pulled the team together right?
Or are we ready to admit that every QB needs help around them?
I want the 49ers to do what I already know they are making an effort to do,...which is spending wisely when it comes to the salary cap.
Reality and what I personally want tho, does not need to mix. If you bring up these players that he had to do without and want to act like he was lining up with JV players,...I just think you're stretching things a bit and you're countering your point a little too much without realizing it.
We'd like to say "hey...even without these guys.....look at how we did",...but the data just isint there. He started out hot as a rookie and then he had a great 2023 campaign. That's pretty much what we're going to go off of when we talk salary cap commitment.
This is not "he just wants to argue,...."...lol. It's simply giving my opinion.
