CMC dressed for the occasion as a Niner; 1800s gold rush Niner.

Speaking of which... I prefer our old Hobo Sourdough Sam.



I've never liked our recent Coked out versions.

Stud. I will re emphasize that this trade will be a steal if he is healthy for the next 3 years. Best player on the offense two weeks in.

He'll will get snubbed for AJ Brown.

that will be the hardest snub ever

I couldn't believe people didn't think so from the beginning.

Yea. But that east coast bias is real.

This guy is really good. Shanahan needs to do his best to keep him healthy…give Wilson or Mitchell(when he returns) a lot of the blue collar runs. I was screaming at the tv when Shanahan had him out there late in the game to bleed clock. Crazy.

This. Shanahan needs to be more selective when he involves him. Let Wilson and the other RBs share some of the those slog carries.

The first player in our franchise history to have the triple crown in a game. Run for a TD, Catch a TD, and Pass for a TD. The fear he gives to the opposing team's defense is something we haven't had in some time. He might not be the biggest guy we have had, but his shadow covers the whole football field. I haven't seen anything like this wearing a 49ers jersey since T.O. or most recent Kaepernick.

CMC is a stud and I apologize to Tman

I Wasn't a fan of the trade to begin with ( thought we had much more Important needs tbf ) but I may have changed my mind after that performance.

2023 MVP ?

At first, I was concerned, given that we had already given up first round picks for Trey Lance... we weren't able to unload cap space for Jimmy... and we have pending contract extensions... I was worried that we gave up too much precious draft capital and now have a guy who's going to cost some us some money the next few years. Those concerns are valid concerns and we'll have to make decisions in the next few offseasons.

But there's a reason why he was, what, voted the #6 player in the league two years ago? He's an elite player and he was electric for us, despite only being on the team for 10 days. We made it to the NFCCG last year with roughly the same cast. We transitioned to Trey Lance, with the hope that he'd be able to get us over the hump once he's fully realized. When he got injured, I was pretty sure we'd make the playoffs, but wasn't sure we had a new wrinkle this year to have a better year than last year. CMC being here inspires a lot of hope this season that... maybe... just maybe...

It's going to be fun to see how the offense progresses over the course of the year.

1/1 for 34 yards and 1 touchdown passing
18 carries for 94 yards and 1 touchdown, 5.2 yards per carry
8 catches for for 55 yards and 1 touchdown, 6.9 yards per catch
No tackles, assists, sacks or interceptions

CMC in this offense is going to be like what LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshall Faulk were to the Chargers and Rams.
Splitting carries with Elijah Mitchell will keep him fresh, and creative plays with Deebo Samuel are going to be huge.

The trade for CMC, IMO, saved our season. I was thinking that the offense was stagnating because (1) we didn't have our starting RB that could run the outside zone, (2) teams were camping out short routes, and (3) teams were selling out to stop Deebo.

Last year, we struggled in the first half of the season until Shanahan turned to Deebo. With CMC here now... Elijah Mitchell eventually coming back... Deebo coming back... the young offensive line hopefully gelling more and more as the season goes on... there's a good chance for our offense to really come alive.

Agree, great post! Doesn't matter what or how many the picks were in the trade it was truly worth every single one of them. f**k them picks & we are back & about to get healthy after the bye week! Let's go 49ers!

Yeah, especially since CMC is the only third player ever to ever do that triple crown.

Can't wait to see CMC on the field with Deebo.

When Mitchell comes back, Shanny needs to disquise the play calls. What I mean is, don't be so predictable when Mitchell is on the fields is a run and when CMC is on the files its a pass because CMC is so good at both (and throwing TD's...LoL).
