It is super easy to sit here and second guess, post mortem ...but the whole plan was pay BA, pay Trent, pay Brock, pay Kittle, pay CMC, pay Bosa and pay Fred.
Minus Fred, none of these dudes are what you could call ironmen.
Sadly it feels like only a matter of time before CMC goes down as well.
I love Lynch and Shanny....but I really hope they are considering future plans. They keep plugging people in at WR/TE/RB hell even QB with some level of results, you cant say the same for every other position.
It shocks me that here we are 30-40 years later and Bill Walsh still looks like a genius. He never wanted resources tied up in dudes over 30. Didn't matter if that was Joe, or Ronnie or Craig....he didn't just talk the talk he walked the walk. That plus the you cant teach talent on defense take is so 2025. Shanny is proving yet again you can take casts offs on offense (just like his Dad) and move the ball.... you can't teach athleticism on defense.
Man I hope 2025 off season is the year they get serious on the o-line and the continue to stack the defense.
Who have they plugged in at WR or Te and gotten results?
Bourne has back to back games with 142 Yards recieving
yeah Borne is just under like 300 yards over the last two games...
Tonges on the other hand....
Top 10 TEs — receiving yards (Weeks 3–6)
1. Tyler Warren (IND) —
215 yds, 2 TD
2. Trey McBride (ARI) —
208 yds, 2 TD
3. Jake Ferguson (DAL) —
204 yds, 4 TD
4. Hunter Henry (NE) —
202 yds, 3 TD
5. Dalton Kincaid (BUF) —
202 yds, 2 TD
6. Dallas Goedert (PHI) —
199 yds, 5 TD
7. AJ Barner (SEA) —
179 yds, 3 TD
8. Jake Tonges (SF) —
178 yds, 2 TD
9. Mark Andrews (BAL) —
167 yds, 2 TD
10. Sam LaPorta (DET) —
164 yds, 1 TD
I think it is fair to cherry pick time since it took circumstance and time for Tonges to raise up the depth chart....but even if you dont agree...Tonges is still 13th in the league going into this game and most these dudes on this list have not split time like Tonges.
