Lol you can tell who is really relishing this

Hoov, All and NY back in the (it's no big deal) camp per usual too.

Don't worry, be happy!

TBF, nobody should be relishing in terrible news.

Lol Oh you for sure are. In some weird way in your mind I think this makes you feel like you were right about something …and gives opportunity to do what you do best and s**t on the FO and OL 🤣

I'm always right about the OL. That doesn't mean I want to be. It means we fall short again. I want 6! Not to be "right" about the regimes biggest blind spot.

2 NFCCG, 1 SBA, 4-1 in the playoffs with the biggest blindspot lol got it

And that blind spot cost us both times. Contrary to popular belief, it actually wasn't "good enough."

Is it good enough this year? To you?

With Mack retiring we got more $$$ to play with here we are far from done with the roster; especially later when clubs start to trim down... gonna be lots of possibilities, and that's not even factoring the JG cap dollars when that is resolved.. we should be in a drivers seat position..

Did Mack hurt the 49ers in any way by announcing this so late as opposed to in March? New QB gets a new LG and new C. Great.

It wasn't a mystery that he might retire. That's on the FO

Pass pro has certainly been a major weakness for years and Jimmy G's quick release covered up for a lot of it. Now we are in worse shape. People are in denial trying to rationalize that we are going to be ok with this drop off, I am not. Even if Tretter is injured, he still plays thru it at a high level. Kyle has always had a veteran C and if Trey is playing behind Brendel or Brunskill we can expect another loss in the playoffs vs a possible SB victory. Plain and simple

There's a bright spot.

I'm hoping they knew and hoping they are right about Brendel and West. That's a lot of hope. Would prefer more of a sure thing.

Cut Jimmy and sign JC Tretter.

it did not cost us actually.. and the last game we didn't give up one sack.. unlike your beloved Rams OL

This year is another story.. i'm confident in Banks and Moore.. Brun plays better with someone playing well next to him. Center and RT are the only ?'s

How good is JC compared to Mack.

JC has been better than Mack the last couple years IMO. At least in pass protection

Start West at center.

Might as well. Brendel and Brunskill are most likely 1 year rentals. West you could have extra cheap for a while.

I was pounding the table for Quinn Meinerz a couple seasons ago. :/ oh well.

Denver drafted another center this year and have Cushenberry already ahead of Meinerz.

To me, it was pretty selfish to take all this time till now to retire. BUT if the FO knew this the whole time that's on them. maybe they're happy going into the season with rookie C and new LG.

That is because they are proactive... our team is one of the most reactive teams in the nfl
