He has the highest yards per catch in the NFL at 20 yards as said by the telecast. I don't think hes going to be cheap, and I don't think the 49ers are going to shell out cash to another WR for a while.

Spotrac estimates his market value at $19,265 million. For comparison, Jennings is at $18,367 million. Both are going to get paid.

Most likely, maybe Jennings by us depending on what he's looking for. I feel like both will not be 49ers next year though.

Kyle is a great HC. This has to be his best season coaching the team seriously considering all the injuries.

bro doesn't know how to run a proper offense.

Super Impressive.

Remember, the Browns are gonna roll on the Niners. It's gonna be a bloodbath.

And its not like we are one of those teams that always goes for it on 4th. We will if it is a yard or less since Brock can easily make those.

When an offense functions like it did last night we're seeing what happens when all the parts are doing thier job. Good play design allowing receivers to get open in the zone. Receivers knowing where they need to be. The QB delivering the ball on time and in the right spot. A running game that was good enough to gain yards and keep the pass rush from pressuring the QB.

It's great to watch whne everything is working the way it should. Football is the ultimate team sport and there are a lot of moving parts on every play. If one or two break down the play usually fails. This is the best the offense has looked all year. I hope they can keep this up the rest of the way but they're going to face better teams with better defenses.

I think Saleh is coach of the year, with what he has done with these young players and midseason additions

Let's mind the personal insults please.

Though thankfully it's not as many as half...they are just very vocal with their bad takes.

Usual suspects pounding sand right now.

Impact injuries all over the place including 2 potential future HOFers and our two best players on defense out for the season since week 3/6 and our first round pick joining them week 9 and we've clinched a playoff berth with 3 games to play.

Now let's do our part and keep the win streak going.

Warner has already punched his ticket to Canton, but I'm not so sure Bosa will make it. I love the guy to death, and he's been as solid a player as you can ask for, but it it feels like he's dropping off. Definitely looked like a future HOFer his rookie season, but I've been less than impressed since he signed his big deal.

Why I said potential.

However sack totals aren't always indicative of great edge play. Look at what's happened to our pass rush since Bosa was injured.

4 sacks with Nick healthy all game in 2 games.
13 sacks without Nick 12 games.

And of course that doesn't include the pressures or the overall impact on the backend his presence had.

Fred=first-ballot HOF
Bosa=great player but not HOF

No one questions his offensive playcalling. It's his overall coaching of the team in general that irks fans. Take a step back and look at the team. Awesome offense but missing a number one receiver because Kyle pushed to pay a guy that didn't want to be here. No pass rush bc we didnt think guys like Buckner or Armstead were worth the money. Stuck with Moody when he should never have been drafted. This is all part of the job as a HEAD COACH. He'll have his offense steamrolling into the post season but we can't expect Morstead to not punt until September 2026. What happens then ? You don't think the lack of pass rush and mid LB/corner play will cost us at some point ? Do you think it was a safe strategy going into the season so top heavy on defense that losing 2 players pretty much shut one entire unit on the team down?

Cant keep finding excuses every year as to why the team sucks. If they don't win it this year, the masses will come out and blame injuries. Well that was the excuse in 2024. Oh, and that was the excuse in 2023 bc Greenlaw went down (of course we decided that Al-Shair was a commodity not needed the year before). Oh in 2022, it was injuries bc Brock got hurt. And the years before that, it was bc Jimmy G wasn't good enough.

All of these issues stem from player choices made by the head coach. Kyle kept JimmyG around and drafted Trey. Kyle gets to be part of decisions on who we keep and resign during the offseason. And if the team falters, you have to go back and wonder why we're not deep enough on the roster to make up for lost players. Lose Buckner for Kinlaw ? Lose Al Shair for Bethune ? Lose Ward x 2 for Brown and Green ?

Lol. The hyperbole can kill legitimate arguments you might have.

Your complaints are really more centered around FO decision making… where Kyle obviously has a role… but it isn't coaching.

I don't disagree with some of the things you say, but I think your criticism is pointed in the wrong direction. Recognize what we actually have that's good.
