100000%

yeah, so far. Very talented RB, but also his durability is questionable.

Sadly. Very talented and you can't help but love his effort an contribution. But he's turned out to be Jalen hurd/ Jason verett 2.0. I mean the team purposely gave him just a small handful of snaps last game and he STILL got injured.

it's time to move on

LOL, "it's time to move on." What because of a Tevin Coleman practice squad elevation?

He's also nothing like Jalen Hurd or JV. Hurd never played a snap due to injuries and JV has had multiple season enders.

He also got 14 carries to lead the team last week, including all the tough runs in the 4th quarter when Dallas knew we were running the ball.

He's going to play on Sunday and will be fine. This is the time of the year you take extra precautions with injuries.

He was drafted in the 6th RD and is on a rookie deal for 2 more years. Would be dumb to move on from him. He is dirt ass cheap right now. RB's with his ability are making like $10 Million a year. Niners just need to have a safety net behind him. And it's not like we are counting on him to be our #1 RB anymore. With CMC here it has pushed him to #2. Now when it comes to having to give him a contract extension, That's a different discussion.

What does it matter where he was drafted an what he costs. The dude is rarely on the field. I love the guy an have seen his talent. He has franchise #1 RB talent. But he can rarely play an even more rarely play long stretches of games. How much time has he missed in the last two seasons.

we can't keep depending on that. It's time for durability.

I can't imagine what you're like in the gameday threads.

I think Mitchell can go tomorrow. They just don't know for how long in the game.

A hampered Eli isn't nearly as good as Mason. See Trent Williams comments on him playing injured.

I say play Mitchell for about 5 snaps in the first half giving Mason majority after CMC of course. Then give Philly a heavy dose of Mitchell in the 3rd qtr.

Seems like that's how it typically goes. CMC ends up playing the majority of the 1st half and then in the 2nd starts splitting carries with Mitchell.

Mitchell is going to play. I am convinced they were just being extra cautious with him this week. He doesn't need to practice to play. The TeCo news is almost assuredly related to him getting another gameday check.

Not saying I disagree, but then why not elevate him last week and the one before, too?

I think Eli's issues are similar to what Deebo went through in 2020. He got hurt early and never was able to get fully healthy, So he kept getting hurt. I think with a full off season he can get his body right.
