49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

And it's one thing if you want to say he hasn't been a stud pass rusher right away but let's at least acknowledge he's been doing a good job playing the run.

Our defense was much worse, we used free agency to address offense because that's where the strength of free agency was. We used the draft to help our awful defense because that's where the strength of the draft was.

It would've been really stupid to use #2 or #3 overall on a WR or RB when there was so much wrong with this roster that needed help.

The defense was historically bad last season. The run defense was the worst in 49ers history. In one offseason they greatly improved there. Buckner and Thomas look to be cornerstones for the future. Foster looked great in the preseason and in the first game, hopefully that continues when he comes back. You're not going to fix every single weakness in one offseason but I have hope that they will continue to address the other need areas as time goes on. I'm expecting a pretty offense heavy offseason overall.....QB....RB....WR...OL....TE....etc.

The choice was to pass on QBs and roll with Hoyer.

Hoyer is still starting right now even if they had taken Mitch Trubisky.

I'd take Darnold and Rosen easily over Trubisky.

Remind who started in Buffalo between Goodwin and Watkins and which 1 was a 1k receiver.

Garcon was a good sign but Goodwin and Robinson suck and that will be backed up with every qb they play with. It's not all on Hoyer. I agree he's struggling but so is the talent around him. Goff would not be doing good here.

As far as the plan goes I'm talking now. Mike Nolan had a plan too and actually a good one. Brought in good talent, but it doesn't come together for you. I'll judge that when we get there though and I'm not hating him long term. I liked his hiring.

I wonder if Gurley has more room to make plays since D's have to respect St Louis other weapons?

Remind me who was the much bigger disappointment between Goodwin and Watkins? Goodwin wasn't brought in here to be a #1 receiver. He was brought in to be a deep threat. If he offers more then great.

Watkins has 14 receptions 211 yards 2 TDs
Goodwin has 9 receptions 127 yards 0 TDs

That's pretty damn close especially when you consider how much worse the QB play for the 49ers has been and the couple of big drops Goodwin had. Plus Goodwin pretty much missed most of the Arizona game.

Goodwin and Robinson are role players. If you can't see that then not much point talking to you.

You keep saying how you're not hating the hire...but yet here you are still acting like Shanahan fuked up not bringing in better weapons on offense. We've already discussed the differences between the two teams and why the Rams were able to concentrate on bringing in offensive players and let the D play out with mostly who they already had on the roster.

We needed a ton of help on both sides of the ball, more so on the defense.

LOL. Where has that gotten us? In the cellar where we belong. Last in offensive rankings and production with one of the brightest offensive minds in the game. That statement is a myth, and you know it.

That statement is not a myth and the fact that you're questioning it shows how wrong your line of thinking is.

The offense knows what play they're running. The defense has to react to what the offense is doing for the most part.

And once again...are you watching this team or reading box scores? You can clearly see the plays are there to be made. Our issue is not scheme, it's execution.

Are we not allowed to draft or sign QBs now that we have Hoyer?

Didn't realize it was Trubisky or Hoyer for life. Where do I sign to join the F* Shanahan crew?

PFF released their first quarter all pro team, and major credit to the five 49ers who made it in some way or another.... TB, DB, RM, BP, and JT are all having solid seasons at a minimum.... credit to Saleh and Hightower for their excellent work.... Rookie coach of the quarter would have to be McVay for doing what he's done with that mess he took over.

Just another thing about Shanny. I don't like how he's building us to be Washington West. Goodwin and Robinson are placeholder players but it does give you an insight on what he's looking to do there. Goodwin is an attempt at Jackson. Bring in Cousins and you get Wsh's o.

My thoughts there. Get the fg kicker ready. A lot of yards, not so great on points. Shanny had that problem in Wsh, it's continued even as Cousins grew with Gruden. It's not Atl's high powered offense.

What's wrong with Washington's offense if we get a better defense in place? Their offense was 12th in points and 3rd in yards last year.

We're now complaining at the idea of replicating that???

Seriously? We'd have a much stronger running game here as well which would improve the scoring numbers. Robert Kelly and Alfred Morris aren't exactly on Hyde's level.

That's also with a team with a 20 mil qb, the top rated Lt, 2 expensive receivers, a top paid tight end. They were built to be an explosive offense at the expense of everything else and came up 12th where it matters. 8-8. IIdo concede it's a fair point on your end because we can do it smarter cap wise but I'm hoping Shanny also builds a more explosive scoring o.

Washingtons offense is still better than the garbage offensive production the 49ers have been putting out the last 14 years

I'm excited for this team's figure. Shanny is doing a damn good job with what he has. Once we clear up execution and learn how to close out games, he's also getting on the job training, then we will be good.

Excited to see if we draft a Q.B this upcoming draft lol

I feel bad for the people on here crying every day about the sky falling, you guys must be the life of every party you attend haha

yeah he can't fix a 2-14 and put pro bowlers at every position in one offseason

he chose to bypass a qb early with the chance of signing cousins next year or drafting someone else

i dont understand what is so difficult to understand about this. he didn't pick hoyer for the next 5 years.

Shanny's plays are getting guys open. Guys are taking turns f**king it up.
