This is what I'm most worried about is free agents not wanting to come here. True or not this no player is willing to risk their career.

I haven't heard a single player say they left the Niners because too many of their players get hurt. Same for free agents. I never heard one say their players get hurt too much so I don't want to play there. Just more conspiracy paranoia.

J Tartt said the conditioning/practice routines of the Eagles was night & day better than the 49ers.
Could be disgruntled, I don't know. But most players won't talk about previous teams.
So, do you think it's just bad luck ?

Something is going on. This is not just unlucky.

The injuries go beyond the ShanaLynch regime.

I haven't looked at past years other than what you posted. As I understand it, Kyle's practices are high impact so it, supposedly, lessens the effect of that impact during the games. Maybe it has a negative effect on soft tissues throughout the year. I read/heard other teams, that are just as physical, don't practice that way.
Maybe Harbaugh, Kelly & Tomdula practiced high impact,

49ers injuries wrecked 2014 as much or more than coaching drama
Every single team has to deal with injuries, but in 2014 the 49ers had more games missed due to injury than any other team in the NFL. We take a look at how it impacted the season.

The 49ers were among the healthiest teams in 2011/2012. The injury endemic starts in 2014, which coincides with the full transition to Santa Clara. For whatever reason, people start tracking injuries at 2017 when the problem has been going on since 2014. Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

It started in 2013 when Crabtree tore his Achilles in mini camp. Plenty other injuries throughout that season as well

Correct, there is no hard evidence and I don't believe in the substation theory. However, I don't discount it either.
Kyle/Lynch could alter practice routines and D Perry's conditioning anpproach and never tell the press anything. Only the players would know and maybe a few beat writers might notice a change in the practices.
I just don't believe it's bad luck.

I still haven't seen hard evidence substantiating this claim, but there are tons of people claiming that the substation in Santa Clara was rebuilt/upgraded in 2013 to meet the demands of Levi's stadium.

but yeah, this issue long precedes the Shanahan regime.

Yes but it hasn't become a big news story/theory until this month. So we don't know how it affect the team going forward

Training camps back in Rocklin!

I do think there is something to having camp in a special location. I used to go up to Flagstaff for Cards training camp and when you listen to the players who went through that, almost to a person they preferred that experience over holding them at the practice facility outside the stadium.

How many do you know that play professional sports?

C'mon...you have to at least admit that this franchise has been hit with the injury bug far and away more than most, if not every team in the last decade+. Besides....the game was a lot rougher...a LOT rougher decades ago and there was never any team that suffered what the 49ers did this past year. It's not just a 49er thing either for me....the product on the field has taken a negative turn simply because you're watching way too many backups. It's a farce.
