2017-18 season couldn't have gone any better for Lynch and Shanahan.

I get what you are saying but I have trouble thinking of "season couldn't have gone any better for Shanahan and Lynch" when we have so many good players on IR. I know you don't mean to imply that Shanahan and Lynch think it's really peachy that a whole bunch of players have gotten IR'd, but I'd at least put an asterisk or two on the "couldn't have gone better" to account for things like a massive number of injuries and not spending more money to get at least one more guard in FA that can play reliably well.

Other than obviously no one wants any player to get injured (if you do - chill dude, it's a game), I guess in a perverse way having so many good players on IR this year means that the youngsters are getting a lot of valuable playing time during a year where winning isn't priority #1. And the good IR'd players will add more juice to the team next year when they want to start really getting settled into the system and really going for wins.

Dude

Pessimism and alcohol go together like peanut butter and jelly for Iowans. They can't help it.

Cute,. but cc said nothing wrong in his opinion. we have managed to find ways to lose games this year and no one has explained to me how you build a winning culture when you keep losing football games. despite our inept offense and horrid o line. perhaps jimmy and his winning culture background can will us into a couple of wins and at least show the guys they can win football games,. oh and i hate peanut butter with jelly. i like peanut butter with cheese. they used to make some wretched thing called goober which was peanut butter and jelly together in the same jar and that always triggered by spit up reflexes

Well, sure, if you want to take it literally . But as far as things we can control (not the injury bug), the season is going just as we should want it to go. Youngsters are developing, we probably have a QB of the future, we're going to have infinite cap room in the off-season, and we're going to have an amazing asset in the draft.

Even though we're 1-10 I am so jacked up about the 49ers. To be able to get a franchise QB in JG and CJB as a backup in season number 1 is absolutely remarkable. They also have added some nice young talent to the roster while purging some contracts like Bowman and McDonald off of the roster. We're flush with over 100 million in salary cap room and sitting pretty with high draft picks. After free agency and the draft I fully expect to see this team hit the ground running in 2018-19. I've got a big grin on my face thinking about the future. Go Niners!!

1. JG isn't a franchise QB; not yet. He's an unknown
2. they may have cap room but they won't spend it. History has shown that.
3. They may have high draft picks, but they will draft busts like soloman thomas
4. I see a mediocre upgrade to the interior o line and that's it. Saleh and co will return.

Don't be optimistic. This is the worst ran franchise in all of professional sports. (even worse than the browns)

One year ago, it was sickening to be a Niner fan.

Now, you have a franchise QB, a defense with some nice pieces, and one of the top offensive minds in the game coaching the offense.

Anyone who can't see this is a "glass half empty" type person. END THREAD.

My mouth was agape for a full minute after reading the ticker on the screen during MNF that we got JG. That changed everything.

There needs to be a correction to this post, which was written by someone who admits he no longer even supports the team. The final paragraph ought to read:

Be optimistic. This used to be one of the worst ran franchises in the NFL but no more. With potentially a franchise qb, anything is possible. Except for those who only want to troll.

It could have gone better.

They could have filled more holes, especially on the OL.
The offense could have improved on scoring from last year instead of regressing.

Getting two QBs was grea, QB was priority #1.
