There always has to be that one guy

Okay then, enlighten me oh genius one. Asking a legit question, looking for quality insight, not cheesy one liners

Well...he was arguably the top edge rusher in the NFL last year (top grade on PFF)...certainly in the top 3. He's in his prime at 27 years old. He fills the 49ers biggest need and was the best edge rusher on the market.

I think the better question back is....given the season he had, how can you be focused on a single play? Ok, it was a bad play but should that really be the focus? Every player has bad plays here and there. His was in a big spot and I'm sure he learned from it, but there are no perfect players.

Thanks for your insight. Not overly focusing on it now. Just hoping he's worth that massive contract we are about to give him.

We'll see about the contract. The structure and guaranteed money is what really matters. I'd bet that its really a 2 year deal the 49ers can get out of if needed without much of a cap hit.
The dude causes fumbles!!!
whoops, wrong thread.

I'm loving this....please be right. Now that we have Ford I want QW over Bosa. At worst I want one of those two. Period.
That's a bit contract. Hopefully he beats out Marsh. One does not simply come in and...

Been saying this for weeks.
People say only 8 sacks but he was 2nd in the NFL in QB pressures...

13 sacks, 29 QB hits, 7 fumbles forced. That'll do.

If both are there i'd be furious if they took QW over Bosa. Considering the resources they have put into the interior line the last several years and the frequency with which they ignored the edge, in combination with Fords injury history, I'd be absolutely furious. QW is good, and I'd like him if Bosa is gone, but we have a TON of depth on the inside. Wasted resources to add another body to that mix when we need more edge pressure to rotate and compliment Ford.

Can't disagree with you. Maybe Allen then?
Defo is grinning as we speak.

Holding one bad play against the guy is kind of ridiculous. He had double digit sack seasons in 2016 and 2018 and was one of the top edge rushers that the 49ers could conceivably acquire.

Not holding that too much against him, I know he's light years ahead of anything we've had in a while. Just wanted to know how he fits our 4-3 system as a hands in dirt DE. I hope he's worth what we are about to pay him.

I think Ford may end up at OLB as much as DE honestly.
