Given his history, wait till after the bye

yep. we are doing ok as is. don't risk it. get an extra 14 days rest. No matter what happens we are still in first.

If the game is not close, either way, rest evans too.

This. The 49ers have zero business losing to Washington even without Bosa. Given his injury history and importance come playoff time let him get more rest, it's only going to help.

Seahawks lost to the Commanders. I hope the 49ers are taking them more seriously than you.

I'm sure they are but it doesn't make my statement any less true. A loss would be an embarrassment.

I get it.. The last time we were 5-0 the Ravens kicked our ass but they had a stacked team the Commanders do not. If they just stay focused they should win and resting Bosa is needed. Have him play against the Falcons.

Are you really comparing the 2023 Ravens to this years Commanders?

They have to make a decision with him. It's a huge cap portion invested in him. The same thing every year. Always injured and not playing. Just going off past reputation when he was younger, less injured, good and productive. I don't think you can have this much cap in a guy who doesn't play. It also means we need a new pass rusher yet again. Because Mykel Williams also isn't it. He's a powerful set the edge guy.

So you think a 22 year old player who missed a good part of his first year, is finished developing his game? I don't think he's close to a finished product and still has the tools and skill set to develop. Maybe you'll be right and this is all he'll ever be, but don't you think that ten games into his career, it is a little premature to assume he cannot improve his pass rush skills?

There is this growing fan narrative that all players develop at the same pace and that the development must be immediate or they are a "bust"

Some of the all time great HOFs that took 2 or 3 years to really flash consistently.
Times have changed in all sports and in all levels.

It's all about now, not later

College and NFL have moved away from the player development approach. Hard to develop guys who play for 5 different college teams. Just like it's hard to develop the players when half the team is new every year due to free agency and the drafting of undeveloped players.

Injuries also hurt development sometimes.

If we can continue winning without Bosa, why is he consuming so much cap space?

Bosa Hasn't been top 10 since 2022. wasn't even top 20 in 2024 and missed most of last year again. His top 10 days are long behind him.

I don't even want him to be in the top 10 nowadays, I just want him to play atleast 10 games for us a year... yes my bar is low...

Sad that we are paying him so much and he isn't even a pass rusher at this point.

Because we need him to beat the top offenses in the league.

We beat the top offense (Rams) without him.

Oh that's your opinion. And mine is he's a top 10 edge. And my opinion matters more to me than yours.
