It's time to move on and restart. If not... Well do the exact same thing next season. Rip the bandaid off and start over.
The 49ers went 2-14 in 2016. It was a team with little talent on the roster and no future. By 2019 they were making a SB run. That team was constructed and coached by Kyle and Lynch. Same with the team last year. If you consider that getting screwed....
In the future, I believe we will look back at this season and realize that, apart from injuries, the vibe around Brandon Aiyuk's holdout has a huge impact on how the draft and the season played out.
As numerous sources noted, the Aiyuk situation "was different" from Bosa and Kittle. We all seemed resigned to losing him to Pittsburgh due to his attitude. Being the only WR who could consistently beat man coverage, we drafted Piersall who lost all offseason and training camp, then 1/4 of the beginning of the season. In the meantime, Purdy and Aiyuk never had time to rebuild the chemistry before the BA injury. Without BA, or what he brought to the passing game, things have just never clicked.
Then there is CMC...
