What "prime"
KS10 couda easily won two Super Bowls outside Jimmy and B-Rock Steady Purdy.. He had a chance to have The 2nd Best QB Ever but did not want him.. then he had another shot to win one had he gone Staff but did not want him either...
To me, Shanny wants to win w/a QB who is AVERAGE AT BEST so that he can get ALL THE CREDIT in the world...
That's the reason why he SUCKS !!
Interesting that he traded 3 first round picks for Trey Lance, but passed on Brady (could have had him for free), Aaron Rodgers (could have had him for a lot less capital than 3 first round picks), wasn't even interested in Patrick Mahomes, and pretty much lucked into Brock Purdy (who only got a chance to play because Kyle's A and B options got injured).
This is the genius everyone holds in high regards ?!
He's been awful at scouting, drafting, recruiting in FA a QB for this team. Far below average. One of his greatest weaknesses. He lucked into Purdy in the 7th round. Yes it's LUCK if you land the last guy in the 7th round and he turns out much better than expected. But Shany has not at all had a good radar for QB. One of the biggest problems with him. Among other things. I'd put that near the top though.
Finally...you make a post that's actually based on facts. Please try this more often.
Yes Shanahan at least with the 49ers has a clear blind spot as far as QB evaluations. This is another reason why I think signing Brock to an extension is critical.
I don't want to see Kyle making a move to bring in another young QB any time soon and my hope is he learned a BIG lesson with the Trey miss. I think he tried to overcompensate with Trey for the Mahomes miss.
But yes, when you draft your franchise QB in the 7th round and the end of it to boot...you can't turn around and give Kyle much credit for that find. That's luck.
Great post!

2 guys wide open for TDs...what a terrible design by Kyle. Should've called a fade to Crabtree, that's a real HC call.
