And no, giving up pressure isn't a turnover.....

How about said low throws that weren't actually in the "dirt" being dropped by receivers?

He skipped one this week. His accuracy was worse yesterday than in the first two weeks, IMO.

Which play did he skip the ball???? i must have missed that one ... i did see the low ball that almost hit the ground, that one was really low, but i thought it shouldve been caught .... i thought he only threw 2-3 bad passes all game, the one to Morgan was really bad thought ...

Rachal deserves to be called out....but so does Staley. For some reason, most of the Webzone is fixated on Rachal as the OL whipping boy. Meanwhile, guys like Staley get blown off the ball, give up sacks numerous, and you don't hear a peep.

Jeeze.. after 3 years the dude is still iffy enough to have competition from a career backup If you can't play guard after 3 years, there's no where to go but out of the league.

Same could be said about a 7-year player we know of...luckily, hr has 2 rookies for "competition."

Low blow perspective!!!

Yes, double standard. We don't treat very player or position the same.

Chilo is in a new system that is 20 times more complicated than last years' system which he also was slow to learn. He needs at least a year.

That's 3 years 3 different offensive line coaches. And he's playing alongside Anthony Davis.

Wait that would be Chilosexcues

You are right a gaurd keeping someone in front of him is just as hard as knowing the entire offense as well as reading the defense handling the ball and making an accurate throw. Come on if you ever played football you would know that compariung an incompletion to a Qb pressure from a guard is Apples and Oranges

It happened, bad passes happen for every Qb but comparing the responsibility and difficulty a RG has to a QB is seriously laughable.

It definitly happened. It was on the play Smith scrambled out of the pocket and almost ran, but threw it to the reciever and it skipped off the dirt. I'm pretty sure it was to Crabtree, because I remember thinking, I wonder what Crabs is thinking right now....

No doubt is was on Alex.

It's so refreshing that harbaugh is considering starting another guard. Not to many coaches in the recent past have been willing to bench a player who is not performing. Rachal may end up being the long term starter but he might need some bench time until whatever happens. Kilgore and Snyder are able and willing replacements until Rachal decides he wants to put the extra work in becoming something we all expect.
