THAT just tells you how good Mahomes is... Even Shanny said he was a Freak of Nature, but he rather go with CJ Beathard.

I mean you're lying if you think he wanted CJ to be his FQB. No need to fib and making up s**t.

Damn near every team had a chance to get mahomes and said nah. KC moved up from 24 overall to get him. Even Andy had to be talked into him, dude wanted Paxton Lynch the yr before.

You're in here all the f**king time telling us how amazing of a play caller Andy is….surely he would so more than score 12 pts a game and go 0-4?? I mean best play caller in the league according to you?

best play caller?? I don't remember stating that.. but if I did, how are you going to argue about that one??

The fact is, SHANNY will never be better than Andy no matter how much MORE 2nd place trophies Shanny will have at the end of his coaching career.

Well I won't say i saw best QB of this generation but watching his Texas Tech tape i did see the best thrower of the football I've ever seen.

Arm was special. So was Jamarus Russel. Milton, Kap, Vick etc….That system he was in was not conducive to NFL offenses at the time. s**t load of backyard football, pretty big projection.

SEE, you think like Shanny.. unbelievable...

You keep your mouth shut about Shanny not taking Brady nor Aaron nor Stafford who are ALL FUTURE HALL OF FAMERS, but you give him the DUMBEST excuse by using Kap, Jamarcus, Milton and Vick as to why he didn't want to draft Mahomes?

Shanny was so dumbfounded for not taking Mahomes that he gaveaway the ranch and drafted a kid who only played for less than 16 games because he never lost?
Honestly if he somehow pulls out this eagles game he deserves credit.

Even though it's all doom and gloom there is a path to having purdy out shoot them.

I just don't see him being able to put it all together.

If you put tonges with kittle and get cowing or watkins on the field you have some real weapons for purdy to throw to. Even without Trent or pearsall.

Then you need to lean at least 10 carries to robinson and give mcaffrey half as many.

Purdy is that good that if you actually gave him decent players who can get open he will find them.

Most of the Seahawks success wasn't because the oline was absolutely terrible (it was) or mcaffrey is on the downhill (he is) it was because purdy actually didn't have anyone open.

Purdy is that good he could have made it work if he had fast receivers to throw to.

I highly doubt kyles willing to shift the offense completely to try to get watkins and cowing some explosive plays and actually let a younger RB maybe break one.

That's why he's just good and not great.

Otherwise we can just watch the eagles smoke us on both sides.

There was some back yard ball for sure. I cant speak to what you saw in comparison to the guys you named but I can assure my take away from Mahomes was clearly different than yours. Those guys was not in the same realm throwing the football in my eyes.

NY, honest brah... did you even watch games of Jamarcus, Milton, Kap and Vick in college ??

those bazooka arms of theirs are god given, but they are not REAL QBs when I saw them in college.. KAP, brah, he can't event complete a slant !! dude a pitcher !!

We're saying he's the consensus best coach to never win a SB? Are we for real here?

He's a hell of a lot closer to dak Prescott than Dan Marino in my book.

Shanny is today's modern

That's such BS, even a casual fan should be able to hear the respect his players have for him. Kyle is a head coach through and through, he's a leader of men who happens to call a great offense. If we ever did fire him, he'd walk straight into another HC job, wouldn't have to revert to OC.

It's ok, if it was up to Moon we'd hire PJ Fleck as our HC, not even joking, he absolutely loves the guy despite not winning much at Minnesota.

Idk I don't have confidence in Cowing..been gone too long, probably rusty..and he had some butterfinger moments. I just think he is kind meh as a WR. I don't see him being a huge difference maker. This is when, idk, some guy named Aiyuk would be helpful..but noooo. F that whole situation lol.

Fantastic post and exactly what I think and what I saw. Sadly, like you, I can almost assure us Shanahan won't do this. He hasn't yet, why would he now?

Of all the problems last game, Purdy wasn't one of them. No one was open and he has no run game or pass blocking.

There would legitimately be 15+ teams lining up to interview shanahan if we fired him. The vocal minority in our fan base that want shanahan gone are insane

yeah, it's ok, if it was up to AB81, Shanny will be our HC for the next 40 years.. not even joking.. he absolutely loves the guy despite not winning when it counts the most.

PJ Fleck, go see his Bowl record and I do feel that he's a better HC than Shanny and can get us the next ring if given a chance..

so TRUE, Shanny will get a job w/in 3 days if we ever let him go... I don't doubt that, I've also said that he may win a Super Bowl, but IMO, just not HERE..

NOT as a 49er !!

It is what it is!!

I never cease to be amused by the fact that the posters with the most diehard names are often the ones who are among the first to give up on the team whenever it hits a rough patch. There was someone in here for a while whose name was something like BleedsRedandGold or something like that and if the team didn't win every game by two touchdowns they were in here the next day pissing and moaning about one thing or another, the team sucked, the coaches sucked, the offense sucked, the defense sucked, the QB sucked, the front office sucked, the owner sucked. That's what I call true blue.

Nah. I don't like or support the Rams. But I do respect them. What McVay has done for that franchise even with a mini rebuild is remarkable. It's a good blueprint to follow. You guys get upset bc he is what we wanted Shanahan to be. So it irks you guys when he's successful while Kyle puts up 3 points in the biggest game if the season.

Cue the excuses in 3….2….1…

McVay has never put up 3 points in the biggest game of the season. Why hes so amazing.

Ell going to answer? Or is he going to continue to avoid/ignore.

Ok let's repeat this slowly. Sean McVay has a Super Bowl ring. He put up 3 points, took the hit, went out and wooed a future HOF QB and went on to win a Super Bowl.

Kyle Shanahan lost a Super Bowl where he was up by 10 points half way through the 4th. He took th hit, went out and traded 3 FIRST ROUND picks for Trey Lance, only to find out he's a bust. Oh, and then he lost another Super Bowl.

See the difference ? Or are you still enamored with Kyle's regular season 10-5 record vs McVay ?

So what you are telling me McVay needed a HOF caliber QB to be able to win a SB.

That McVays offense is incapable of scoring more than 3 points in the biggest of games without a HOF caliber QB.

And McVay has never proven he can win the biggest of games against top tier coaches like Andy Reid and Bill Belichick.

I don't care if he needed Joe Montana reincarnated to win a SB. The fact is that he won one. He identified the glitch in the Matrix, then went out and recruited the best possible player to fix that glitch. There's no such thing as "well my SB ring is better than yours bc you got it with a HOF QB and I got one with a scrub".

And second, McVay could win a ring against a group of baboons and it still counts as a SB win.

lol you guys can't help yourselves. Just to prop Shanny up, you'll drag anyone down. McVay has a done a better job building the Rams than Kyle has. He has the hardware to prove it. /debate.
