And he's missed more than 2/3 of a season over the last two years.

And it's likely that his best skill fades rapidly with age.

He'll have to reinvent himself as his elite athleticism fades....

I get the jab here...but KP was better than Mitch last season.

Mitch was not good at converting 3rd downs. Lots of short drives with Mitch trying to play hero last season.

I do think that he...

My guess is that both of these things are true. Hopefully Canada gets better at scheming guys open and KP gets better at hitting / seeing them. I'd also guess that KP has a better chance to improve...

I think the outcome they are thinking about the most is next season's ticket sales.

And letting your NFL-MVP QB walk will not be good for ticket sales.

I would have signed Lamar too. I probably...

OK

Last one.

I think you do need to have breakaway speed in TODAY's NFL.

Guys like Davis (retired 22 years ago) and Bettis (retired 18 years ago) would not be elite backs in today's NFL IMO....

You're right Blitzer. I think I'm done with this one.

Thanks

Sure...both those guys are elite.

That's the reason I object to you saying that Chubb and Najee are in the same echelon because they get the same number of yards when Najee gets like 70 more...

Maybe "not true" is too strong when comparing their first two years. But certainly missing all the context (which I tried to show you by talking about their actual stats in the first two years).
...

You said that they did produce similar stats in their first two years. Which is not true.


You also said that you think Najee could produce numbers like Chubb in a similar situation. But that...

Come on Cap, It was my point before it was yours [edited to add: or at least since I started posting in this thread]. :p

In just about every post I have on this thread the last paragraph is about...

In season I think he said he was trying to get more comfortable under center / PA passing. Hopefully this improves with time.

Since it was less than Ben's last year, seems more like a QB thing...

KP's first TD. Super easy wide open Harris with no one anywhere near him (go to 1:00).

I don't think Canada is a good OC. And I don't think our guys...

Not sure how you define "schemed up".

But there was this one:

And this one also had a guy wide open (but not like in the clips you posted). One of...

I agree with this.

I agree with you that QB is more impactful than RB on team success. Especially with the NFL the way it is now with so many advantages to passing that didn't exist a generation ago.

Which is also...

FWIW, I was for cutting...but I now think that would have been a mistake given how things unfolded.

I think the extension is better. He's not a good starter, but he is a good backup. And we bought...

Because they are big contracts with lots of gaurantees that they can't avoid by cutting guys.

You are probably right that they feel good right after they get it inked. But they have to be looking...

Thanks Windy...I'll check these out.

Agree with all of this.

Purdy was a product of the system in SF. He did well. But it's not because he's an above average QB IMO. I think he's the QB equivalent of P Hillis.

Time will tell...

Yep. Dead money is the consequence of cutting guys.

We've all called for guys to get cut.

For example, I wanted us to cut Mitch (although I think the extension is a good move too). Doing so...

My guess is that the $15M number comes from looking at something like the NFLPA cap site and pulling down the number.

My point is that number is misleading because we don't really have that much...

I disagree Cap (which I think is fine).

In today's NFL, explosive plays are a really big deal. It's really, really hard to score lots of points when you're forced to go 4 yards at a time because...

Like Cap says, no one knows.

He didn't run at the combine (ankle injury and covid).

It's sometimes seems like it's reported that he ran a 4.45 at his Alabama proday. Here's an example:


...

And even if he did run fast on a track one time with a friendly person on the watch, it doesn't show up on the football field.

I think he was legitimately injured. But even if he was only 90%, he...
