    Who cares?

     

    They aren't winning anything without Allen.  On a long list of things to worry about this would be at the very bottom.


    So, if Allen goes down 4-6 weeks, that’s it? Give up the season? He’s been very durable, but once he passes 30 and continues to run like a fullback, things could get ugly. What else is on your long list to worry about. Maybe another DLmen or DB? The list isn’t that long. We’re in “luxury pick” territory.

    I have a weird feeling that if these two teams do meet in the Super Bowl it will be the team that losses the regular season game that wins the Super Bowl.


    Unless home field for the playoffs is on the line, I really don’t see it necessary to show them anything but a vanilla game plan.

    Came across this and noticed it had a lot of Allen/Bills content. Really great article breaking down QB performance vs coverage type. 

     

    https://ftnfantasy.com/nfl/qbs-vs-man-and-zone-coverage

     

    Calls out how teams play a lot of man vs us because we shred zone. Also that we have a very high rate of open WR’s vs zone. Also touched on the concept that the better man QB’s might be that way more a a result of better WR’s. Which makes a ton of sense and why that number one or high end WR is still a big deal. FYI the Lions play the most man in the NFL.


    I can’t believe I just read this entire article and basically nothing on Mahomes. Remarkable. And I also saw more of the Allen isn’t accurate crap.

    Back on topic.... Purdy described as limited on the injury report yesterday. Local 9ers reporters saying was in reality "extremely limited" and threw only one pass. I don't think he is going to play. 


    Assuming this isn’t outright smokescreen, which is possible, it doesn’t make much sense to play him then. A road game against a non-conference opponent who they still won’t likely beat. Now with poor weather possible. It’s a long season.

    Getting back to the notion of the original thread -- and tracking Purdy's shoulder injury...

     

    The last I heard was that Purdy did some light tossing and workout yesterday, he is resting today, and they want to see how he feels tomorrow. My guess is that he will officially show up on the injury report all week as Questionable regardless of his true status. That said, it will be worth watching to see if he practices tomorrow -- and what he does on Thursday and Friday to see what direction he trends.

     

    The 49ers have been notoriously dishonest with the injury designations -- they outright lied about McC's status early on, and were misleading regarding the nature of Aiyuk's injury as well. So we are unlikely to get much in the way of "official" intel on Purdy. As I said, I suspect he will be designated all week as "Questionable" and his activity will be listed as "Limited".


    Now we know where McDaniel gets its from.

    Wild take but I’d like them to do better at acquiring a backup QB with actual talent in spot fill. 
     

    Now I know this will irk some but Josh is still a mad man at actively heading towards contact and there’s a litany of events where players don’t take it easy on bringing him down like they do Mahomes, Lamar or some of the other QBs out there. 
     

    The minute Josh goes down we are screwed. Need someone of even a little quality. 
     

     

    Pass rusher and Safety is again probably the only other needs. 


    I’m not against a QB in the 3rd round - a complete luxury pick. It’s much too early for us to start grooming the next QB, but I doubt we’d win many games with what’s behind Josh right now. We’ve been blessed by his durability considering how he plays. I don’t think his style of play will be sustainable once he’s on the other side of 30.
