CMC, Elite RB who will start!

yeah, that'll suck. I get it but it'll still suck.

Honestly, I think Mason might be a massive asset to the team against KC cause theyre such a physical team (like the jets) - he can help us wear them down. but CMC is just awesome in general.

I mean it's short-term IR which is 4 games. They don't play KC/Dallas until week 6 & 7

they need a RB who can pass-block and catch the ball. The jet or Hunt in the short-term would be a good move imo.

give CMC a good month to heal and I think he should be good. They're gonna need all their RBs (and then some) this yr.

Did you know Nick WRONG was even throwing SHADE at McCaffrey? He was saying Jordan Mason proves "anybody can do it." It's all Kyle and the scheme and good players around him. At least he seemed to suggest that. I kid you not.

Lol I am convinced you are Nick.

Mason looks amazing. Gives CMC plenty of time to recover as much as he needs to. Sucks to not have him but Mason is pretty damn good. Very physical. Can we win the Champ Game or SB with Mason? Right now, I don't see why not? (Maybe he won't fumble the ball?) Lol /j

Agree 💯%❗

I have Jerrick McKinnon PSTD.

I blame this on Kyle always just depending on 1 or 2 runners at most. He's going to do the same to Mason and Deebo. That dude never learns.

He pounds them into the ground until they can't go anymore.

Agree with both to a certain extent, but it's football. As NY85 says, this is a collision sport and you are going to get injuries. Key is to avoid the major ones by being smart and lucky.

Smart by IR'ing CMC, and Lucky by having Brock Purdy, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Trey lance depth at all positions (easier said than done of course).

Putting him on IR means he misses at least the next 4 games.

it's more or less a person to person case. All depends on how he recovers. IMO I would put him on IR and let him do nothing but rehab. Nothing in the back of his mind about having to play for a month.

once it's healed it's good to go…I believe. Rushing him out there and the chance of a torn Achilles is much much more likely.

I agree with you. I wouldn't try rushing him back no matter if Mason slumps and goes on a struggling streak or if Guerendo isn't ready to start.

Btw what else options do we have if the above starts to happen?

I still remember Jerrick McKinnon having Achillies tendinitis and they let him play after a month and he ruptures his Achilles in the game and is out two years.

That's not what happened, nor was that his injury. McKinnon tore his ACL during a team workout right before the 2018 season started. He then recovered poorly and required a second surgery on his knee the next summer.

i'd almost be surprised if we don't pick up a RB here

Unless they need the roster spot I can't see them wasting an IR return spot on McCaffrey. They can shut him down for a few weeks without using IR while keeping him on the roster. Mason, Deebo and Guerendo can handle the RB duties without needing to adjust the roster, IMO.

As for an achilles tendinitis leading to a rupture, doctors seem to be all over the place. The Dr. interviewed on 95.7 yesterday (see below) stated it's rather unpredictable. They all seem to agree that the only thing to do is let him rest if its flared up.

Nevermind, I bet they re-sign Matt Brieda. But honestly, I'd see what Marlon Mack has in his tank.

I rather use the guys we have, than waste reps on guys we didn't want in the first place

That's the danger of these Achilles tendinitis soreness/ injuries is my point. He can be lost for two years. I don't want that as a 49er fan. I"d rather lose him for a couple of weeks, or a month or two, rather than lose him for two years and all that cap space/dead money being unavailable for the future.

Putting him on ir won't change anything. He won't be sitting on the couch resting the entire time. He would probably start getting ready the last two weeks of IR

It frees up a position just in case of other issue/injuries at other positions. Adds position flexibility is my other point.

And for some reason held a grudge against the team when he left for the Chiefs.
