NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

Yeah this is why it is generally bad to throw your rookie QB out there. Because they are almost always behind a terrible OL, and it just sets them up for failure in the future. If they start their NFL career being ass pounded every other snap, how will they ever gain confidence. All that said, Burrow looks legit. I honestly hope the Bengals can put a bit more protection around him.

I think they should have kept Dalton and rolled him out there this year for this reason. But Burrow seems to be handling it well. Doesn't seem like he's seeing ghosts (yet) and scrambling when he doesn't need to.

Not re-signing Whitworth was a terrible long-term move.

I fucking hate this rule. What was the thought process on changing it? Did they really see it as a danger?

Some good numbers here.

Luckily for Burrow, you aren't allowed to hit the QB nearly as much. He still took some big shots last night, but some of that is one him holding the ball for times that were acceptable in college, not pro.

49ers need a new str and conditioning staff and a new training staff all together.

The amount of fucking injuries they have suffered over the last 3 years has been incredible. Look at last year, Im not even going to highlight every injury, if you follow football at all you know it was bad. The year before last, Garopollo tears his ACL and is lost for the season, which basically defined that entire campaign. Last year was last year, with all of the losses of starters on defense, not to mention all of the nagging injuries by guys who were still playing. (plus guys on IR who never got right, McKinnon, Hurd, Taylor, Varrett etc).

Now this year you got Aiyuk hurt, Samuel, Hurd never recovered, now Kittle and Richard Sherman WTF. The guys already on IR are most likely not coming back (Varrett, Hurd) Starting center is out. Dee Ford hasnt been right ever since hes been here. When does the "injury bug" stop biting? What other team in the NFL has suffered more injuries than the 49ers over the last 3 years? I bet none.

Start Mostert in fantasy despite the Jets being low key sneaky good against RB's...or go with that sweet Carolina match up for Ronald Jones?

Mostert is really the only dependable 49er fantasy wise besides Kittle. He will get his basically every game. He hasn't disappointed since becoming the bona-fide starter.

And yea the 49ers have taken too many chances on players with injury history, but I dont know why they would even take that chance as they weren't able to rehab those players back to their former selves. This goes back to the days of Baalke.

49ers selected so many acl projects over the last 6 years. They have enough problems staying healthy, gambling on guys like that has hurt them tremendously.

If they lose to Jets its a lost season.

Yes, after two games, they'll probably go 0-16.

Until Jimmy G has a great game and you're ready to say he has that all time great feel about him.

49ers get their training staff from the Yankees?

lol.

You guys are probably right, I get so emotional over this fucking 49er team. I do like Jimmy G, he has the talent to be a great QB imo, he wins games and has shown he can get it done (out dueled Brees in new Orleans in a pivotal game) but has also shown he can be trash tier. High ceiling, low floor I guess.

But cmon if they lose to Jets that is embarassing.

I'd be surprised if the 49ers don't move on from him this offseason. Bust of a trade and signing

Crazy. I was just re-watching the Chargers-Chiefs game from 2018 where he wrecked shit.

When he played last year, and wasnt hobbled, he was a dynamic force. With him and Bosa on the field together they had an astronomical QB hurry percentage, I believe it was something retarded like 70+%. When that defense was firing on all cylinders and guys were healthy, you had a truly great defense, one of the best pass defenses over the last decade, to go along with a incredible D line.

You had;

Sherman (All Pro) and Moseley/Williams at the corners, (Witherspoon was wet trash for most of the season)
Fred Warner (All Pro) Dee Ford Dre Greenlaw Kwon Alexander at linebacker
Bosa (1st rd pick) Buckner (1st rd pick) Armstead (1st rd pick) Thomas (1st rd pick) on d line

Just an incredible group of talent. Too bad they dealt with a ton of injuries and still are to this day. Basically the same group this year minus Buck but they havent looked good at all recently.

"Recently" meaning Week 1?
