The wasted time of trying to explain why ST is so expensive, and why it isn't going to be discounted is laughable. The real answer is money and people have proven that they will pay it. So why would they discount something they don't have to?

Of course Kittle would want another bye week. He can't stay healthy. But I feel like he's Dawson Knox-like in that most of his injuries come from his aggressive playing style. Of course you love it when he's available, but his absence is felt so hard when he is out. His injury history found on https://ninernoise.com/2021/06/15/george-kittle-injury-history-outlook-49ers/ George Kittle calf injury, 2021 Kittle dealt with a calf injury in Week 4 but still played with it before being placed on injured reserve heading into the Niners’ Week 5 game, which meant he’d miss at least three weeks. George Kittle broken foot and MCL sprain, 2020 Kittle suffered a knee injury after Week 1 last year, which forced him out of the subsequent two weeks where San Francisco traveled to MetLife Stadium. Yet that wasn’t the big injury he dealt with during the year, as Kittle ended up catching a high pass from fill-in quarterback Nick Mullens in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks, landing awkwardly on his foot, causing a fracture that sidelined him for six more weeks. Some thought it smart for head coach Kyle Shanahan to shelve Kittle for the rest of the year, but the tight end returned for the final two games of the season, helping engineer the 49ers’ final win of the year in Week 16. George Kittle knee sprain, 2019 Fans won’t soon forget Kittle’s heroic performance on Halloween back in 2019 where he was playing with banged-up ribs and a knee sprain. But that particular injury forced him to miss the following two weeks — Weeks 10 and 11 — allowing No. 2 tight end Ross Dwelley to step into Kittle’s absence. George Kittle shoulder sprain, 2018 Going back to the 2018 preseason, Kittle suffered an A/C joint separation in his right shoulder during the Niners’ exhibition opener, which immediately caused concern he had suffered a broken collarbone. Fortunately, the injury didn’t cause any major damage, and Kittle was able to return in time for the regular season where he’d go on to set the single-season record at the time for tight end receiving yards with 1,377. George Kittle ankle and hamstring sprain, 2017 After being selected by San Francisco in Round 5 of the 2017 NFL Draft, Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in training camp, but that didn’t hold him back from being ready in time for Week 1. He did, however, suffer an ankle injury later during the regular season, which forced him to miss Week 10. George Kittle foot sprain, 2016 During his final collegiate year at Iowa, Kittle suffered a pedal foot sprain against Purdue on Oct. 15, which caused him to miss two games and limited his production leading up to the NFL Draft the following year.

Poyer to me is Five Guys 2022. I love Five Guys. I was more than willing to pay $22 for two people at Five Guys which was expensive at the time. I am not willing to pay $35 for two burgers, a fry, and a drink. Doesn't mean I don't love Five Guys. Not pleased to look for other options, but they're not going to give us a discount.

The massive gap at the line of scrimmage is perplexing. Like there’s an entire yard of space between the OL and DL. Seems QB sneaks would work all the time

If only there was a hero that's been pitching a pinned Fitz thread for years.

It's my suspicion that the NFL is waiting until Mayfield is traded before they drop the two year Watson suspension hammer on the Browns.

I'll often be scrolling through "answers" and read halfway through an ad before realizing it. But that sort of advertising doesn't work on me. Because I take AdForgetter+ now with 35% more calcium.

Not to mention the coach. Reich is McDermott's theoretical evil twin. He's got hair, offensively aggressive, and likes to roll the dice. I'm not so sure if we didn't "take a chance" on him instead of Rex Ryan, we wouldn't be in a similar position atop the AFC by this point.

Both are true. Bruce is highly egotistical AND Boselli doesn't deserve the HOF. There are more deserving OL who had much longer careers. You really have to wonder why he got special treatment. To get JAX players in the hall?

He knows where his bread is buttered. Got to thank the team that handed you the bag. Can’t fault him for CYA answers. I try to root for people instead of against. However, it’s hard to root for this guy. He’s got the domestic assault and battery, he chose money over team, and he has his own brand of un-Jordan/Kobe-like arrogance that just grates.

Always hoping we find the diamond in the rough, but this guy fooled 32 teams for 7 rounds if he’s an undercover superstar. His stats don’t pop, his combine measurements don’t particularly impress, but I’m still rooting for him. Hell, Dawson Knox had comparatively few reps at TE and still had a highlight reel hype video when he was coming out.

I used to confuse him with Dennis Green because I felt they both were good coaches who never were able to get the staff they really deserved.

We can expect the same "answer" and "accountability" that the government has had for the past two years: "It's over. Why dwell on the past? Moving forward."

All I do is stag stag stagnate no matter what...

I remember after a few seasons of play with Buffalo being way too easy, I chose the Pats with their newly redone uniforms in I think Madden 94 because I felt bad for them. I thought the flying Elvis logo and colors were an improvement over the old Colonial Williamsburg employee uniform. Honestly, I think that if New England wasn't constantly embroiled in scandal while we had our statistical anomaly of a drought, we wouldn't hate them quite as much. It lent a bit of credence to the idea that maybe our team wasn't so spectacularly poorly run. If Brady wasn't so smarmy and whiney, maybe we'd respect him like Payton Manning or Aaron Rodgers. If Belichick wasn't trying to do his impression of Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men every press conference, we might have begrudgingly respected him like Bill Parcells or Don Shula.

If can pull down Mia Khalifa to come hang out, I’m sure he could have found someone willing.

Then to a water park 🤣

Aaron Donald said that he'd play again if they can "run it back." He seemed to know then that LA wasn't keeping the band together and I assumed he was giving himself an out for his retirement talk he alluded to the whole playoffs.

More than Watson, I feel the NFL needs to drop the hammer on the Browns. They were aware of the numerous allegations. They manipulated his contract in anticipation of him being suspended so they'll only take $1M cap hit. I'd suspend him for two seasons at a minimum just to make an example to other teams. And those other teams already are angry with the Haslems for making the seemingly least deserving player the first to have his contract guaranteed.

They all smoke weed too but all but a few can figure out how to work the system. I get the feeling the same happens with PEDs.

He's got to say that or he's a bad teammate.

Like I said, it won't be the last Fitz thread.

Tom Brady has a doctor who isn't a PhD. His TB12 system made Edelman pop for PEDs. Alex Guerrero went from checkered past "alternative medicine" nut to the fixer for players looking to play past their prime (mostly current and former Patriots players). He's playing longer than anyone has played before. I'm sure there's nothing suspicious about it.
