Tell me anything in that article is wrong. It's a synopsis of everything we've complained about over the years.

How many Super Bowls has Shanahan lost because he goes full retard in the 4th quarter and completely abandons what was working? (Not counting when he was coordinating the Falcons)
Nevermind some of the most braindead roster decisions, if he would just NOT overthink it we probably have two SB's.

Ever hear of revisionist history?
It's hilarious how you guys eat up crap like this....Chowder is going on a timeout for spreading this filth
Cohn is the perfect example of big mouth with nothing of substance behind it. He's perfect for guys like you because he has no problem brushing aside facts, logic and context to push a clickbait post/article. Thing is...he gets paid from that. What's your excuse?
The article is littered with fallacies, half truths and just straight up ignorance. Once again...no wonder you resonate with what it says.
Problem for Grant and why rational people don't take him seriously is because he's got absurd takes all the time and when they're wrong he pretends they never happened. I do wonder how much of that possible dynasty happens if they listened to Cohn and not drafted Nick Bosa like he wanted? Dude was out there trying to compare Bosa to Solomon Thomas because of their combine numbers and wrote an article how the 49ers should avoid the mistake of drafting Nick Bosa.
Yeah no sh*t in hindsight they shouldn't have traded for Jimmy. Went after Tom Brady and/or Matt Stafford. We've talked about all of this. They're not realistic criticisms to anyone who pays attention to reality.

1. No need for full r...
2. How many? Please do tell...
Do you all realize how hilarious it is that in the same post you complain about "braindead roster decisions" you're dogging the coach who made those decisions for blowing SBs?
Either the guy is coaching his butt off and taking a bad roster to the SB or his roster decisions are giving him a great team that he's not able to coach to the finish line.
Pick a lane.

I don't think Chowder should go on a timeout. The article is posted on the Webzone front page. He didn't go digging for it on some random website. I know you don't want to rehash old news, but one it's offseason and two if ppl are linking articles posted on the webzone that should be fair game to debate. Now if we're pulling stuff from some random website or posting random thoughts from some twitter handle, then you can set the bar and punish us accordingly.

Grant's just ornery because he never saw the 49ers win it all (0 for 3). Or maybe he was a fan in '94? How old is Grant? Probably too young to care then.

Cohn is just a click bait whore. He doesn't really know that much about the game beyond a superficial level, and he lacks the courage of his convictions. When Mac was playing it was all, "Oh, Mac should be starting he's better than Brock." Then Brock comes back and throws three picks in the Carolina game, but wins, and Cohn is, "See, Brock is terrible Mac should start." Then Brock is responsible for 10 TDs in two games and its. "Oh, Brock is great, he's a top 10 QB in this league." By the end of the year he was back to questioning whether or not Brock was the guy.
He called Alfred Collins a bust after his second or third game and then later on, said he was one of the team's best rookies. He called Mykel Williams a disappointment because he wasn't generating sacks, even though that wasn't what he was drafted to do. P.S., data shows that the team's run defense fell off a cliff after he got hurt and was actually at its strongest when Williams, Collins and West were on the field together.
All of his observations are based on what he sees in the moment. What he thinks is true one week, turns around 180 degrees the next week and then he uses other people's observations, usually without attribution, to add to his content. One of the most interesting videos Jonnydel did this year had him pointing out that almost half of the interceptions Mac and Brock threw this year were on throws to Juan Jennings. His take, if I'm not mistaken, was that Jennings lacked the speed to get the separation he needed but because he was such a competitor, had demonstrated a knack for winning contested catches and, for much of the year, was the team's most experienced receiver, he ended up getting targeted in crucial situations. About a week later I saw a clip of Cohn on someone else's podcast saying the same thing and passing it off as his own take.
And finally, almost everyone in the organization seems to hate his guts. He likes to spin that as being a tough, independent reporter, who asks the hard questions, when in fact, he's just an aggressive little twerp who likes to goad people. Do you think Kyle or John are EVER going to give him a sit-down interview the way they do with Maiocco or some of the other beat reporters, no, because he's too disrespectful of the team and its players, which means he will never have the chance to actually put Kyle or John's feet to the fire and ask them the kind of tough, legitimate questions that some of the longtime beat reporters won't. There would actually be value in that, but Cohn is too stupid and arrogant to have played that hand.

I don't read Cohn or many other blogs because they don't really report facts like they used to. In the current world these guys are just out to get views. They just try and be controversial so people will respond. That's their job now. That's what they get paid to do.

I believe they did go after Stafford but lost out. Not going for Brady for Jimmy was an epic fail. Bosa has won 1 DPOY. Cohn specializes in rage bait. He is a paid troll and honestly "journalism" and press credentialing needs to be gate kept. This troll lacks integrity and is a disgrace to sports journalism and Bay Area media should be embarrassed by his presence or at least legacy media. Despite all he says, which I did not read, the 49ers have been more successful under Shanahan and Lynch than all but 4 NFL teams. That means on average we have been a top 5 team under their leadership and as such we have amassed quite the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree since they have been here. The record, not Cohn, speaks for itself. Guys like him get paid to write about others far more successful at their jobs than he is at his own
