Edit: Also FWIW we are ($7million) - yes that is over the projected cap

Aaron Rodgers sat the bench for 4 years.  Who else did?  
 

His daddy had RB success and Super Bowls with 6th rd picks and undrafted FA’s.   Yet Kyle seems to think he needs to use several high picks and spend way over the league average in order to achieve what his dad did with nothing.  His dad is one of the men that trivialized the position.  

 

That 2023 cap number is wrong.  Give Spotrac time to calculate his contract.

Both Spotrac and OTC have the 2022 cap space for the 9ers at $4M, not $50M.

Me either, but there's apparently a huge CMC fan club on twobillsdrive. who were ready to part ways with a 1st rounder to get him here.

 

 

High-motor lunch-pail RB who can play at a high level, no surprise the HMLP lovers were drooling.

I won’t pretend to know and I don’t really care either way.  I don’t worry about NFC teams-  they aren’t our primary competition. 
 

did they really roll over 50M from this year? How the hell did they do that? They aren’t paying a qb big bucks but they’re paying a bunch of other guys big bucks.  I’m

really confused.  Can anyone shed some light on the details?

It's not wrong and CMC is included with his $12 million cap hit.

Come on, you know that is a false way to say that...you are including this year as the "3 years".  He was NOT injured for 3 years.  He played 10 games in 2 seasons, and then this year he has been 100%.  There is no reason to skew information to make it seem worse than it is.  CMC had no injury history in HS, College, or the NFL outside those 2 years.  That does not make him injury prone, none of those injuries were career threatening.  

 

Fred Taylor, Frank Gore, Matthew Stafford, etc etc...all labeled injury prone because of injuries in consecutive seasons just to go on and put it behind them and never be an issue again.

It's how the contracts are structured.  Deebo is only 8MM next year.  They have 20MM dead money this year.  Jimmy G comes off the books. They don't have a pricey QB. They don't have a ton of big money guys and even CMC is only 12MM.... CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk will count for a combined $25MM next year... hell CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk, and Lance will cost them about $5MM less than Josh Allen alone. 

 

Not bad for a dumb team that doesn't know how to build, right?

No idea but they had the 3rd worst cap space going into the season.  I know they restructured Jimmy G and Trent Williams but that wasnt 50 million worth.  Also Over the cap is not reporting their cap space the same as Sportrac.  OTC says the 49ers have 3.9 mil left.  Not sure who to believe.

I agree, he's skewing the way he's saying that.  But CMC is considered injury prone right now, no way around that one.  He's had like 5 injuries the past couple years and they have to heavily manage his practice load just to keep him available. He got a lot of usage and his body started getting dinged up. 

 

5 different injuries in 2 seasons is injury prone.

 

9/20/20 Grade 3 Ankle sprain, 6 games

11/8/20 AC Joint Shoulder Sprain, 4 games

12/9/20 glute strain,  4 games

9/23/21 grade 2 hamstring, 5 games

11/28/21 grade 2 ankle sprain,  IR remainder season in wk12

 

They have given him a special practice schedule to allow his body to recover, intense recovery he termed it...

No you said he’s only played in 16 games in 3 years.  You are literally calling this season a full year in that statement when ONLY 6 games have been played, which he has not missed any.  
 

He missed games with injuries in ONLY 2 seasons…2020 and 2021.  Implying it’s been over 3 is a false statement.  
 

He played in 10 games over 2 years then played in 100% of the games this season.  Those are the facts, you don’t get to skew the language them to make them sound worse.

So did Fred Taylor, and then they took the steps to make sure they prevented it from persisting and he spent the rest of his career mostly injury free and had a long great career.  
 

Im not saying he definitely won’t still get injuries, I’m just saying it’s not a foregone conclusion he will either.

Ok... and Taylor was injury prone too. He missed a ton of games and it was an accomplishment for him to be healthy for 2 seasons in his career. 

 

Injury prone means injuries tend to happen often to a player. Not that it's a virtual certainty he will be injured. 

 

CMC carries considerable injury risk. Doesn't mean injury is a foregone conclusion but he's certainly at a heightened risk.

We’re in on something though. What might it be?

 

 

3 options

 

Who is the best Safety we could potentially get?  Is there one? Hamlin has been solid but I’d like him to be the depth piece on a SB run.  
 

A slot WR.

 

 

Dark Horse:

 

David Montgomery 

 

Bears need picks and you know they like Herbert more anyway

I don’t see how that adds up to 50M in rollover when they were against the cap when the season began- opening up some money from Jimmy, but not that much.  I don’t see how Deebos extension can free up that much when the original 4th year of his rookie deal was under 2M.  
 

Who said they were a dumb team that doesn’t know how to build?  I said it a strange strategy to spend so many assets on the RB position.  And I’m right.  It is a strange strategy.  This RB investment is up there with the saints trading for Ricky Williams and the Vikings trading for Herschel Walker.  And neither were coming off 2 season ending injuries.

Unless I missed something the 3rd team involved hasn’t been revealed.

I like your options 1 & 3: getting safety help and David Montgomery — a proven back who's over 220 lbs (our heaviest back, Moss, is listed at just 207).

Shakir and Crowder are more than fine at slot, IMHO.

Any idea what the cap implications would be for us if we traded him in the off-season?  If there were none, then I'm sure we could recoup something draft wise.  That's the only possibility that I could have seen this working out.

No dead cap if traded going forward

According to DVOA they have an 8.2% chance of reaching the Super Bowl, and a 3.4% chance of winning it. That's slightly better than their 3.1% chance of ending up with a top 5 pick in the draft (which would be gifted to the Miami Dolphins).

 

Not sure I like "those odds." McCaffrey might change each of those percentages by 0.2?

 

 

The 49ers are tied for first place in their very winnable division and have the second highest point differential in the NFC.

 

Last year they won 2 games on the road as a wildcard to reach the NFCCG..........so if they win the division they are better positioned than last year entering the tournament...........you paint it out like they are some scrub in-the-hunt also-ran like the 2017 Bills with the worst point differential of an AFC playoff team in 30 years.

 

 And I'm not sure you understand what those numbers/percentages are telling you.   The Bills entered the season as the SB favorite.......one of the smallest favorites ever with a sub 7% chance to win the Super Bowl.    So an 8.2% chance of reaching the SB isn't minuscule.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Can’t make this up.

I mean, if you don't have a QB, you get as many other playmakers as possible. They also want to eliminate the variables around Lance to see if he can truly be a franchise guy. Just like Miami's trying to do with Tua.
