exactly. The problem is you can't pay 3 defensive linemen huge contracts. If you have 3 DL like we did you have to trade 1 and then pray to God you can replace him in the draft. Buckner got us a 1st round pick and no way Armstread would have.

Its time to let this go.

Why?

Dee Winters did the same last year, but isn't praised

I don't think it's worth bringing in a guy who's not really going to do more than what we already have

ATT you should just stop posting about it man; just trying to help save you from looking worse and worse.

Imagine trying to compare a DT chasing someone downfield to a LB chasing someone downfield and wondering why the LB doesn't get the same praise as the DT

And Buck absolutely did his job at the POA; that's the QB running the ball in case you didn't know that

he will cost us a draft pick just for half season rental, and take snaps away form our young guns who are going to keep getting better this season at rushing the passer: Height and Dugger

rewatched the game and I hope a move Lynch makes this season is extending Keion White. He was really damn good in the game, and been a beast all season. only 27 years old, he's improving each game. dude needs to be a 49er for a few more years

Agree 💯%, and I hope John Lynch's contract has been renewed. He's done an excellent job since Adam Peters left, in my opinion.

Yes to white no to lynch. We can do better.

Its not whether we can find a better scouting and drafting talent than John Lynch, its whether we can find a guy that can work with Kyle Shanahan. Kyle is an offensive mastermind, and with John working with Raheem, and both (John and Raheem) having had a long football relationship together - I don't think bringing in a new guy without that relationship and football knowledge (both know the Tampa Two inside and out) would be better than just extending John.

This last years draft is looking good. I dont think that was luck, I think it was becuase Kyle trusts John and John knows what Raheem needs for his defenses to work.

I complained all offseason about how the 49ers had zero impact players under 25 years old on the roster. Well, it looks like they've got TWO now in Gracen Halton and Jaden Dugger. John Lynch has got to be riding high with this draft class right because it looks like he's added some guys that could become the next generation of star Niners. Salute to you, Mr. Lynch.

Just quit, your argument is absurd and you are literally the only person who thinks Buckner wouldn't be a huge upgrade.

Oh BTW, Buckner has more tackles for losses that anyone on our team over the past 8 seasons.

Buckner got us Kinlaw (1st round pick).

We need guys to run stuff or get in the backfield. We don't need guys who get pushed around and make the tackle after the first down

His assignment was not what gave up the run, he covered for multiple blown assignments.
No DT is going to stop that for a loss or minimal gain.

This is almost as bad as blaming Brock Purdy for the seahawks first touchdown.

Just keep your head in the sand

No need to cherry pick stats also

It's quite the take.

I have never seen someone get criticized for an amazing hustle play and say he should have gotten a TFL instead

I'm not going to flood this thread with vids of buck getting stonewalled by one guy and chasing guys down field all game(s)

cause that's definitely not a job/assignment for a DT
