I'm genuinely impressed by how good Bosa looks running the hoop in that clip above.

Bosa has an insane work ethic. If he's healthy, I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up probowl or better numbers.

You see a lot of black and white statistics saying he's overpaid/etc. but if you watch him every week (as I presume most niners fans here do) you know he causes a lot of issues for offenses. Maybe he's not a top 3 DE but I think he's an elite player

When he's healthy he's worth every penny. It's been the staying healthy part that's been the issue

2022 Bosa was amazing but that year appears to be an outlier.

When he is motivated in a contract year he seems to be worth every penny.

I wonder what he would look like if he had an incentive based contract, paid for every sack or every time he successfully defends a zone read play?

That's the last time he was in a contract year.

People who think he hasn't been good since 2022 are the ones who think sack totals are the only stat that matters when determining a players value. Bosa has been ranked in the top 10 every season where he played a full season. But fans look at his sacks and see that he only had 9 sacks and assume he had a bad season.

He's constantly among the lead leaders in pressures, qb hits and is always ranked among the leaders in run defense when it comes to defensive ends.

He has been good, just not nearly as good.

The numbers would indicate that he does.
