Why the hate for Aikman and Buck? I think they're the most level headed, no favored treatment to any team/ player? I thought they were both awesome last night and were just as fed up with flags and such as fans were.

I honestly think it's a Daboll problem. We had the same issue here. OL could pass protect far better than run block. We had zero run game and threw the ball 40+ times a game. The line was far from the issue yesterday. Play calling was atrocious. They were running outside zones to a shifted 8 man box to the strong side. It seems like they run it just because with no rhyme or reason... he lacks creativity in the run game and we saw that when he was here

I disagree here,.. Richard Sherman said it best. That OL is TERRRRRRRIBLE. You don't put a rookie QB in there and then he gets happy feet, doesn't trust his line, and destroy his confidence. Let him sit and learn the offense. Brissett has been around a while, he's just physically limited. Maye will be fine, IMO

On top of this ... he was HAPPY on the sidelines?!?! I mean, come on. Josh has to get in his teammates faces more often. It seems like he doesn't take the game seriously. I saw him SMILE while he was on the field... this needs to be changed ASAP if we want to be taken seriously.

100% It seems as though people forgot his rookie year and only remembered a year in which he was coming off a back surgery. Spencer Brown has had a damn good career minus an injury plagued year. The line is absolutely outstanding. The Jags have some GREAT players on their DL and they were sooo ineffective. Josh Allen, Walker, Armstead are all started for 20+ teams in the NFL.

I do think he’s a “little” overrated but still a stud.

It's so true.. one bad game, "sky is falling" two great games, "let's not get ahead ourselves"

The Jets .... I would put them up there with us, for sure. Carter in the slot is very VERY good, Sauce is a top 5 or so corner, and DJ Reed has played VERY well and is incredibly underrated

Not attendance but I do not wear Bills gear on game day. I stopped for a while... then I worse a hat the day we played the Texans in the play offs. We lost. I stopped the following year except for 1 game.... we lost that game. I went to the JJ catch Bills game... wore gear, we lost. Last year against the Dolphins I wore a hat. We were losing at halftime. I took it off, we won. No more Bills gear on game day.

The title says "Starting Line Up"

Yeah man, for sure. I had / have low expectations. If he can become more than a rotational player again, wonderful. I don't think we need that, nor do I think McD/Babich is playing him more than that. One thing too, his contract can be void after this year, so he's in a defacto "contract year." I think he genuinely wants another SB and genuinely wants to chase the sack record (I think he's still quite a bit behind though). Follow up question: He pressured on 20% of his rushes.... what is league avg? Having trouble finding that.

You do struggle with comprehension.... wow. Let me try to break it down VERY easily so you can comprehend this: -No I never said you mentioned them trading CMC.. I said based on your rationale of trading Cook (for a nice offer) (Which is the following:) - We have an up and comer - RBs are easy to find. Should the 9ers should consider trading CMC for a "nice offer" (based on your rationale of when/why/how/etc you'd trade cook) because of the following: -You then mentioned how the 49ers performed without CMC -Mason is an up and comer -RB that's easy to find is on their roster.

My view is at the bottom. I was answering his question on why people are down on him, as in, some of the stuff I've seen on the board. Those numbers above are great. If he can come in rotation and rush 20 times a game with those numbers, I don't think anyone would complain.

Again, comprehension is hard. I NEVER said they don't play. I said he doesn't start them right away. What aren't you understanding? I kn.ow the guys play, I'm literally talking about starts. Ok, we have a good thing going and you'd be ok with trading Cook.. Holy cow you are literally proving my point on this. You can't be this dense. I refuse to believe it. CMC avg'd 17 carries last year.. we aren't talking last year. YOU are talking about the game the other night and said "they struggled last week huh?" insinuating that they would be fine without him and that RB is easy to replace. Mason had 25 rushes last game. If you want to trade Cook because they are easy to replace and we have an "up and comer"... wouldn't you consider Mason an "up and comer?" So shouldn't they just trade CMC? Again, I can't believe I have to spell this out. I can see why your name is Royale with Cheese, you have the reading comprehension of a sandwich. i tend to agree with a lot of your points, this not being one. Rationale is in a circle.

He's 35 coming off of a very bad year. It was obviously an injury but at 35, a whole year off is an eternity. He also looks a lot slower. I'm guessing that's why. I think he's fine and I have very low expectations so I'm not necessarily down on him.. he's a rotation guy at this point.

Oh god, the guy that lacks reading comprehension shows up again. Funny how you never responded to that post, huh? I never said they don't play, I said he doesn't start them right away, and I listed most of the 1st and 2nd round rookies START numbers. Also, I don't "keep saying" that, I said it in one thread. Do we have the offensive line the 9ers have? Do we have the supporting weapons the 9ers have? Do we have the same scheme the 9ers have? Do we run one running back 25 times a game? Did the 9ers throw to Mason like the Bills throw to Cook? So in your instance, the 9ers should trade McCaffery away, yeah?

I believe they did say that if he were jailed or convicted deal is void after year 1 ( i THINK) it's been a few years but IIRC only his first year was guaranteed if he were convicted or anything of that sort. If it happens now, I believe his contract can be voided. There is news today that there is some sort of video evidence of his latest claim. He could very well be f***d and that scum deserves it.

He looked like he was running in molasses last night. He has been slowing for years and years and I think at points last year, he was a liability. Of course we love Poyer.. but he was on the downhill for, like you said, a few years and last night he was brutal.

Dude totally! Let's get rid of him while we have him for this year AND next year on a rookie deal! Why not?! We have an "up and comer" and those ALWAYS work out. Let's trade our best offensive weapon currently (behind Josh) for a second round pick! Who wants a guy that was 4th in the league last year in yards and is having an amazing year thus far (I know it's only week 2).. Do you even believe what you just wrote?

Bro, what? His offense was as creative as we've seen. That TD to James Cook was a play call, not a Josh Allen play. He knew if they did X with the formation, Miami would blitz off the edge and leave Cook wide open. Watch the play, Josh doesn't even look.. drops back to looks right turns and throws. They are getting to the line with 18-20 seconds left, they are using motion, they were running the ball and pounded it. Did you want him to run cool trick plays up 21? Look, I'm holding my breath as we've seen Dorsey explode early season and then teams catch on and we can't move the ball but to call this offense boring after they eviscerated a team(and essentially did the same the week before) with new looks, motions, Josh's new pocket movement, great protections, etc is asinine.

Can you name 10 right tackles better than him? Seriously...? As most have said, after this off-season, that'll be a bargain for a guy who is paid right where he deserves. He had a bad season after back injury(may be even surgery??) and people decide to forget his rookie year and last year. Spencer Brown has been very good for us and IMO would be very hard to upgrade him within the next few years while we have Josh in his prime. This is a smart move and as others have said, if he sucks, easy contract to get out of. Isn't every player disappointing at times?

Josh didn't earn a spot? Just had to put Peterman out there, yeah? James Cook? Just magically was the 4th best yard earner the next year? He started zero games his rookie year Dalton Kincaid started 11 games last year man. Ed Oliver started 7 games his rookie year Singletary started 12 his rookie year. Dion Dawkins started 11 his rookie year. Spencer Brown started 10 Yes, they ultimately play but he has this "easing players in to it" (which was the original reason for my post) Most of the people (other than Tre, Ford and Torrence) didn't start for quite a while my man. McDermott does NOT start rookies right away.

Ehhh not off the bat. They didn't play Groot right away. Never played Elam. Didn't want to start Josh right away until Peterman threw 6 INTs. Didn't start Cook right away. Basham never played (or rarely) Do they play, yes. Do they start, no. If they do, they have the shortest leash known to man.

McDermott still against playing rookies, regardless of whether or not they are the best at their position, I see. He is and will always handicap this team. This isn't f***ing highschool.
