Thank you Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple Computers and one of the greatest innovators of our generation, passed away today. He was 56 years old.
Why have something about Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple Computers and one of the greatest innovators of our generation, on 49erswebzone.com? Because without him, this site would not be as wonderful as it is today. Everything on 49erswebzone.com is done on Apple computers. I can't imagine this site being as easy to maintain or as fun if I were forced to use a Windows computer every day. Without Steve Jobs, there would have been no revolution in cell phone technology. There would be no mobile version of this site. You would not be able to access 49erswebzone.com from anywhere.
Steve Jobs revolutionized an industry. Thank you for changing the world.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
- Steve Jobs 1955-2011

49ers mailbag: Is Christian McCaffrey being overused? Should Spencer Burford be benched? Is Steve Wilkes who the defense needs? When is Nick Bosa going to show up?
The San Francisco 49ers are 2-0 to start off the 2023 season. In 2021, the 49ers won their first two games but then lost their next four. A win Thursday night, in the home opener against the New York Giants, would be the 49ers' first 3-0 start since 2019. That season, the team started out 8-0 before going on to win the NFC West and cruise through the NFC playoffs on their way to a birth in Super Bowl LIV.
I can't seem to remember how that game turned out, though. It's like it's been blocked from my memory.
It doesn't matter, because we've moved on to the current season. And to celebrate the 2-0 start, we've opened up the mailbag to answer those questions burning a hole in your mind. So let's get to it.

Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, Steve Wilks preview 49ers-Giants Week 3 matchup
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, quarterback Brock Purdy, and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks spoke with reporters on Tuesday, as the team prepares for its Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Here is everything they had to say.

Head Coach Kyle Shanahan
Opening comments:
[WR Brandon Aiyuk] B.A with the shoulder will be limited and [CB] Ambry Thomas with the knee will be limited. Go ahead."
Is Aiyuk you trending in the right direction?
"Enough to be limited."
That's in the right direction, right?
"Yeah, I think
John Lynch, Steve Wilks believe sacks will come for 49ers' Nick Bosa
Nick Bosa played 56 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year did not reach Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett in the game.
On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers pass rusher played 79 percent of the defensive snaps, again being held without a sack as Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford quickly got the football out of his hands.
Bosa held out for six weeks as he awaited a contract extension, which didn't come until just days before Week 1. The defensive end missed all of training camp and the preseason. Has the absence contributed to a lack of productivity?
"I've always said, I don't care who you are, you need to get your football legs underneath you," general manager
Why Steve Young believes NFL QBs are jealous of 49ers' Brock Purdy
Brock Purdy is a lucky NFL quarterback. At least, that is what San Francisco 49ers icon Steve Young believes. The Hall of Fame quarterback isn't talking about Purdy's rise from Mr. Irrelevant, the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He's talking about the situation that Purdy fell into after the Niners selected him.
Purdy entered his rookie season as the third quarterback on the 49ers' depth chart. Injuries forced him into the starting lineup by Week 13, and the then-rookie helped guide San Francisco to the NFC Championship Game.
The 49ers own one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. They are genuine Super Bowl contenders, which means Purdy isn't going to be called upon to carry the offense so long as he can play efficient football.
"In the
