McCaffrey gets new deal averaging $19 million
These deals this off-season have been nuts. Insane that he is higher up than Kelce in AAV

But no risk-it, no biscuit. You aren't gonna win a SB by playing things safe. At a point, you have to make sure you have the horses and hope they stay healthy. He IS their Mahomes on offense. Without him, the offense doesn't work nearly as well. They're a 9 win team if he's not on the squad? Maybe 8, maybe 10. But they aren't a SB team. Is there a lot of risk there? Sure, but if you want guarantees, I can crap in a box and call it guaranteed - I have spare time. Guarantees mean precisely ****-all in this game. Floors make you relevant in November but the ceiling matters in January. McCaffrey IS their ceiling.

Exactly.
Kelce is used like a WR but plays TE so he's a screaming bargain. The 49ers actually have a market efficiency in CMC, even as a $19 million dollar "Runningback". Because other teams are paying $30 million plus for a WR that doesn't have the overarching impact on their offense that he does.

It's one of the low-key worst decisions in league history and nobody ever calls him on it. At worst he gets excused for it with "Well they were going to sign Kirk Cousins..." but what's that have to do with their 2017 draft? And if it WERE the case, why the hell did they give up a 2nd round pick for that overrated pile of crap, Jimmy Grapes? Oh Garapollo. Y'all remember Hootie's love affair with that piece of crap? Dude came out of exile to follow me around in a Royals thread for saying it was a stupid deal. Said he was going to be a stud for a decade. Grapes just never had the attributes to be a star. Slightly above average mobility, slightly above average arm talent. Nothing of note with regards to decision-making or accuracy. He was just...there. And they pivoted on an entire season worth of planning to trade for him? Assuming it's accurate, it's almost as stupid as not bothering to scout Watson or Mahomes because you were going to sign Cousins a year later anyway.

I think he's overrated as hell. Not bad - just not good either. He's as mediocre as most of these guys.

I can kind of forgive them if they had a veteran game manager in place. I can also forgive them if they already had a young QB on the roster they were intrigued by at wanted to give him a chance. But they had none of that at all. Solomon Thomas wasn't this amazeballs prospect, either. He was just a step above Tyson Jackson. To me when you're completely QB-less, you've got the high draft pick, and the non-QB you're selecting is debatable as a top 15 pick in many other draft classes, you're an arrogant pile of crap. And I'm not even a giant Purdy hater. I've seen far worse QBs win Super Bowls, certainly. But pointing to him as a case for Lynch/Rat Jr knowing what they're doing at the QB position is like pointing to a homeless guy who just won the Powerball and saying, "Boy, that guy sure knows all about making money!" |

He's basically been very lucky, like Fred Warner in round 3. Hitting on their 2 WRs even though that is about to be a problem.

Getting those guys where they got them when most considered them 'reaches' at the time, is evidence of solid chops. Which is why I say he's not BAD. He has wins on his resume and some pretty powerful ones at that. But he has plenty of Ls as well. In the end, he's pretty similar to most middle of the road GMs.

The media has their tongue place firmly up Lynch's ass.
Truth is the bomb is going to go off soon in SF, and nobody is going to survive. |

He literally is Andy Reid from 20 years ago. He’s the best coach in the league not named Andy Reid. The work he’s done with QB’s and his offense in general is very impressive. Unfortunately for him he punted on the 2017 QB class bc he thought he was getting Kirk Cousins and that has been the one disaster of his career so far.

Brock Purdy more than made up for that. That was all Kyle IMO
