Fellas, on a different note and not football related, but I'm not sure if anyone heard about the wildfires going on in Hawaii right now. Very similar to what you guys faced from the California wildfires. I don't know anyone's religious beliefs nor am I asking anyone without beliefs to do anything they don't want to. But for those that do, could you guys please say some prayers for those on Maui. There's been a lot of death, lost homes and tragedy. I appreciate all of you.

I was just talking about this with my family over dinner. Heart breaking - I hope you haven't lost any friends or loved ones. Just devastating :/ My family and I are hoping and praying - will be donating to services to help out the locals.

Appreciate it brother 🤙🏾

Sending positive vibes to you and everyone dealing with all of it. My family will be donating as well.

please be safe!

He has clownish tendencies but he also speaks a lot of truth. You can't tell me you don't agree with a lot of what he is saying. We all think it but he actually says it. Bedside manner is horrible but he calls it like he sees it at the time it happens. That's why his opinion changes.. it's all based on current performance.

Nah he's just aping what his dad did in the 80s. It's not that everything he says is false because that's not true. He has no true conviction about anything. He says things in an inflammatory manner for a reason. No niners fan "thinks it but won't say it" lol come on.

I don't hate Cohn or boycott him or anything, but I also don't ever take him seriously. I just see him as a joker

Honest question man, do you read camp reports or just what's posted here?

Several guys talked about how few aggressive throws Sam has attempted in camp. Even the Raiders reporters noted it during these two practices.

Less turnovers is great of course but if you're just playing captain checkdown and you've been called "greatest thrower of the football"…feels like you're not using your abilities as well as you could.

genus, i suspect if Sam was tossing a lot of INTs you would be saying that this is who he is, he can't be trusted, he turns it over. When he throws no INTs, he's a captain checkdown, not using his abilities.. notice he can't win with you, regardless of what he does. I challenge you to say something positive here. I'm glad to see he's focusing on keeping them down, it's a good thing to work on when that has been his struggle. TL I hear from a lot of the guys watching every day is having the better camp to this point.

We need real games soon. Everyone over analyzing and freaking out about practice is giving me agita.

Yeah no one cares during the season if a QB throws Interceptions in Practice if they are not doing it in games.

More like everyone has their own biases and any/all evidence that supports their bias is used as rationale for why they are correct and all evidence counter to their beliefs are disregarded or explained away.

INT rate of top three 49ers' QBs at training camp...

Brock Purdy: 4.5%
Trey Lance: 2.1%
Sam Darnold: 1.1%

Purdy in the regular season last year was 2.4%. SF would like to keep that rate at 2% or lower, but Purdy was also exceptionally efficient even at 2.4%.

They'll obviously…

Darnold lol showing how taking care of the football, is done

That or he's scared s**tless to throw it and keeps dumping it off. Lol

I think tank, he knows he has a rep for turning it over, so it is a point of emphasis, he may be working to keep those down more than anything. So you may be correct. But progress is progress, that seems like his weak spot and he's working at it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again here: there is such a thing as throwing too few interceptions, because it means you're not taking enough chances. 2 TDs and 0 INTs is great. But 3 TDs and 1 INT is better than 1 TD and 0 INT except in games where your run game utterly dominates.

Even passer rating agrees:

30-40, 3oo yards, 1 TD, 0 INT: 104.2
30-40, 3oo yards, 3 TD, 1 INT:110.4.

And while passer rating isn't exactly a measure of QB performance alone, it IS a pretty good measure of team passing game performance, and you are probably winning more games with the latter stats than the former. That's part of why the 96 Packers won the Super Bowl and we didn't (Young 4.4 TD%, 1.9 INT% [league leading]; Favre 7.2 TD%, 2.4 INT%). And it's why the 2001 Ram got there and we didn't (Garcia, 6.3 TD%, 2.4 INT%; Warner, 6.6 TD%, 4.0 INT%). Ask Aaron Rodgers how not throwing interceptions is going for him, with his one ring — incidentally the one year they won a Super Bowl his INT% was the second highest it has been since then.

He eggs on controversies--like another local whose surname begins with a c. To me that style of writing is off-putting. He offers some thoughtful analysis, which is appreciated.
He does does butcher idioms from time to time.

What if it's a rainy game?

Or worse, it rain heavier everytime we are on offense.

Even though you guys are taking indirect shots at other posters, I will play along. If its raining and Brock plays poorly, then yes, the rain will excuse his poor play.

This.

No he's a clown. Probably has pictures of Cohn in his closet that he aspires to in some f*cked up alter.

He's looking for clicks and unfortunately this website gives him 3 pages at a time where he just copies and pastes half an article and creates one new paragraph depending on the position group. If that aint a starf*cking hack of a journalist I dont know what is. Be better, you have an entire fanbase... stop taking the easy way out and do some work bro. I know of multiple people that would write thesis papers on each practice just to see them but he wants to be an edgy cop out since he got the invite lol.
