time to be GREAT YOUNG BUCK, time to be GREAT !!!

Teams adjusted when they realized we couldn't bring other pressure. You will hear his name much more this year.

What do you expect when you have little else on the line? I mean he had 12 sacks on a team with nothing. He's not Donald but he is elite. Last year he was our only elite player

Imo he could have a DPOY type of season given the talent we added around him.

It's within reach given what he achieved with little help last year.

This is entirely rhetorical. Buck is a monster and I think he is underrated from a league standpoint but realistically when is the last time the 49ers have had someone who hasn't been viewed that way? Kittle set a record last year and there are still plenty of people saying he's not in the elite class.

When the team overall isn't good most of that actual good players get overlooked.

Like Frank Gore early in his career. Dude would rush for near 100, but we had to stop running the ball because we were down by so many points.

My big takeaway from a few days with the @49ers ...

DeForest Buckner's going to be a problem this year. Additions of Alexander, Ford, and Bosa will only aid him.

Buckner keeps a daily notebook. The first words he writes on each day's page:

"I can't be blocked." @gmfb

After Staley's extension, really hoping Buckner is next - hopefully it can happen this offseason.

It's best for Buckner to wait. Needs to eat into the Niners leverage and attempt to cash in on all the help he now has. Niners have can easily control him for 4 years at predictable amounts as it stands.

If Solomon Thomas plays good this year, what's the chances of us trading DeForest for a 1st rounder? I know it's not the ideal situation but if Seattle let Frank Clarke walk, then it's possible. I know we have the cap space, butt a lot will depend on what he wants and how they see themselves structuring the team going forward. That being said, if Buckner has another great season, there's gonna be a s**t storm in here if they let him go.

Zero chance
