i heard it from other fan bases too, and saw negative comments on multiple draft sites researching up coming players.
There was actually a post talking about an article written about the Bosa effect in a negative way, with many posters agreeing with it...IE fans might drink the cool-aid because of a game here or there but the next result is an 8-9 sack season.
We cant watch everything, at some point we have to look at stats.....
In the case of Bosa, my thought process was...he might be the best available, but i really didn't WANT the dude. I was highly skeptical of him. If you look at only stats you can re-inforce some of those beliefs....the problem is....we actually follow the team...and the dude was insane. Not a single 49er fan would complain about 10 identical season that were JUST like last year, but stat guys would say...well the dude never broke double digit sacks.
Not that I think we will get 10 seasons with out double digit sacks..... I think the guy is the next JJ Watt and will crush the league. Thank God the 49ers got him.
