He's an "offensive genius" and he's averaging 20 points a game on offense.

This game looked like a loss until Brendel got hurt.

They were running the ball before and after Brendal got hurt. Falcons had a 10+ minute drive that also prevented the offense from doing something.

5-2 with a bunch of backups including QB.

Stay salty my friend.

I also remember reading how he saw too much RAWNESS on Mahomes so he went with Bobby's grandson who supposively was MORE ready. !!

Shanny COMEDY !!

You're just making up stuff.

He sort of is, sort of isn't. As usual he's taking multiple things and exaggerating them to suit his agenda.

NOT making up stuff... he thought he was raw... and that Bobby's grandson was more ready... it's actually SAD, he saw everything on Mahomes but just decided that it's not for the team.. DIDN'T even make any sense..

MIAMI -- Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch had a chance to draft Patrick Mahomes in 2017 and decided against it.
It's more complex than a simple "pass," though.

For one, the 49ers weren't entirely sold on Mahomes. Shanahan had interacted with the quarterback at the NFL Scouting Combine, but the team wasn't certain he'd prove worthy of the second pick in the draft.

"I didn't look into him obviously as much as I should have," Shanahan said Tuesday. "We definitely looked into him, studied all of his tape. Was just a freak, could make any throw, had the ability to do anything. That was a little bit different situation for us. We had the second pick in the draft, did not feel like from all the intel that you get and stuff that he was gonna go that high."

There was another factor: Kirk Cousins' impending free agency. Shanahan had a strong familiarity with the quarterback from his time as offensive coordinator in Washington, and he had an eye on the signal-caller with the 2018 free-agency period just a season away.

THE QUESTION IS... if he wanted KIRK so badly, why did he trade for him and give up the ranch the way he did w/Lance??

OHHHH, suddenly he saw too much PAT on Lance??

You're 100% making up the fact that 49ers passed on Mahomes because they were going to take Beathard.

It's exhausting dealing with you hindsight crowd. If you're going to use hindsight then at least be honest with it.

Yes Shanahan thought Mahomes wasn't worth #2 overall and guess what technically he was 100% right. Not only did Mahomes not go #2 overall when the Chiefs selected him at #10 overall the Chiefs GM and coaches got a ton of flack for taking him that high.

Sure with the hindsight we all have Mahomes would've gone #1 overall to Cleveland and we would've had to be content with that Myles Garrett guy falling to us.

Beathard was never drafted to be a plug and play starter. Yes he was more ready to run Kyle Shanahan's offense because that's the type of offense Iowa ran. There were a lot of questions about the offense Mahomes ran due to other Kingsbury failures who had huge numbers in college and did nothing in the pros.

Mahomes himself talks about how he wasn't ready. There is a reason he didn't start as a rookie. He has talked on many occasions how he needed to sit and learn from a guy like Alex Smith. He didn't even learn how to read defenses until middle of his 3rd season in the NFL.

There is no question that Shanahan was right about him in that regard but a huge miss on the evaluation in what he can grow into.

You and Ell, etc, will die on this hill but can't be bothered to realize the situations for Shanahan and Andy Reid were wildly different at the time.

Shanahan was a first time NFL HC who came in for his system. His goal was to bring in a QB who he knew could run his system. Investing the #2 overall pick on a QB who you aren't sure can run that system is a MAJOR gamble. Andy Reid was a long time NFL HC who already had a playoff team with a solid vet QB. He wanted to swing for the fences with a toolsy guy he could develop.

Shanahan takes Mahomes #2 overall and he has to start him. You're not sitting a top 2 pick at QB behind a Brian Hoyer or Matt Barkley. Who knows what Mahomes looks like without the development he got by sitting and learning behind Alex Smith. Heck we don't have to go far to find out what happens when you rush an early pick without a great vet QB behind him...in Alex Smith.

That's why Kyle was able to make the move for Lance after being vested and having a SB appearance to show for it. You can make those swings when you've proven yourself as a HC and try to push your offense to those extra special levels. And he didn't go for Cousins then because he was under contract...

We have no way of knowing what would've actually happened had the Jimmy G opportunity not arrived. For all we know we could've had a couple of SB trophies right now with Cousins. That's a hypothetical we'll never know. Just like we don't know what would've happened had we drafted Mahomes and asked him to run Shanahan's offense.

Amazing that some people who follow this team still make posts like that...

My observations from last night. Quickly there were noticably less motions on offense which I believe led to a penalty free offensive game. I'm not certain but I think it was a clean offensive performance. Loved the quick hitters just find a hole and go. 2 Thumbs up on this gameplan!!!

Amazing that kyle gets the credit. If it weren't for saleh they'd have lost 40-10. Saleh is an amazing defensive coach. What he did last night with the number of injuries was nothing short of miraculous. Lost bosa warner stout and green. Held them to 10 points. Just amazing.

I thought I heard them say Kyle was using less of the zone blocking and more straight ahead blocking to try and get to the holes quicker or something like that.

Ya'll run around saying it starts with the HC whenever it's a loss…when it's a win, let's find anything else to give yourselves some confirmation bias

Kyle and Co have been doing an amazing job this yr…why is that so incredibly hard for you Kyle haters to admit?

Kyle's team is winning games. Saleh's defense is performing wonderfully especially given the injuries. Two things can be true

I'm hot and cold on Shanny as sometimes he can drive me to drink, but what he's doing this year is pretty damn impressive.

And Kyle made the best move by getting Saleh back here.

Jed needs to give Saleh a mega raise and make him our DC for life!

All I'm saying is don't toss out s**t takes like it starts with the HC whenever there's a loss or a poor outing, if you can't apply that same context when they are winning.

We got injuries all over the damn place…the coaching staff as a whole is doing a good job given the roster right now

I'm confident if I looked back far enough you'd be in this thread blaming the failures of Wilks and Sorensen on Kyle for selecting them.

Funny how you all want to pick and choose when to give the HC credit or the blame for the work his assistants do.

We could get the band back together if Miami fires their head coach. We would pretty much have our original coaching staff back together
