No they aren't.

Because EVERYONE gets the same cap. Again - a skyrocketing cap will simply mean that Jones can get $30 million on the market instead of $20 million.

A premier DT is still going to get a massive chunk of the cap% and that's going to apply to any team that's looking to retain his services. Now it might ultimately make Clark's number a little more palatable, but recognize how few guys we have truly locked in for 2022.

Mahomes is going to sign a deal commensurate w/ whatever the new CBA allows and he'll be the top dog. Hill will have one more season w/ a cap figure of $20.5 million. Clark will be at $24.7 million.

That's it, fellas. That's all the cost certainty we have for those years. Literally every other new deal we have on the books then will be signed w/ an eye on the 'new world' cap figures. NFL agents aren't going to just say "oh sure, the cap took a 25% jump but we're still gonna ask for small raises over what guys got under the LAST CBA..."

The market will shift accordingly.

The new CBA won't save us because virtually every key player on this team will be singed to a deal that takes the new CBA into consideration and the market that the new CBA will create.

What you need is the separate cap for QB’s. If they do that, KC is in a great spot.

107 targets in 42 career games as a 49er. That's literally 2.5 targets a game.

Feel free to look up target numbers and compare the two teams.

Chiefs may go to like 6 or 7 Super Bowls this decade if that happens. No AFC QB is anywhere near Mahomes right now.

Don't need to use him a lot to use him effectively, though.

I worry a bit about a play-fake where he looks to be helping on that edge and then releases about 8 yards downfield on 3rd and 5 for an easy pitch/catch on a boot from Grapes.

You do that on 3rd down from our 40 and you've effectively created a scoring opportunity with zero risk and a damn high likelihood of success.

Do it on 1st and goal from the 6 and you've created a TD.

He can make a substantial impact on 2-3 targets if he moves the chains a few times in the process.

That has nothing to do with whether or not we CAN exploit the same weakness in your D. All of our backs are in the Hybrid WR/RB mold, even our fullback. Shanahan specifically targets those types of players, hence drafting Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd, and using Ross Dwelley (a TE) at fullback. Coleman was used in exactly that hybrid role under Kyle in ATL.

It's the one flaw I've seen in their run design, Mr. DJ's left nut. Please allow me to do you the honor of explaining what I've seen.

They do the same thing with their fullback, TE, and (upon occasion) motion receivers. Clearly, the idea is to chip and/or fake a block then get open as you have pointed out.

The answer is to attack and knock that faux blocker on his ass within 1 yard of the LOS. If it's a run, you've just taken away 2 gaps and cleared the way for the cavalry. If it's a pass, you've just taken away what may very well be their primary read.

Yep, the Niners could choose to attack by throwing a lot to RBs and their FB.
