That offense now has 2 Deebo Samuels is how I think about it.

this is it. Not a good idea for them long term, but Shanny is going to do some wild things with them on the field together this year

Also big props to Beane for simply not being an idiot and making this move

Trent Williams and George Kittle. Deebo goes back outside and aiyuk has been playing better. It’s gonna be successful as long as their players stay healthy 

Trent Williams lol I understand what your saying but you can’t depend on that guys health in the slightest. Kittle has been almost a non factor so far this season so I don’t know how much you can depend on him as of right now. Also CMC’s health is the big question mark

LOL! From the 49ers forum:

Doesn’t sound like he was ever in on it at all.

Dumbest rule /incentive whatever in all of sports. SIX extra third round picks because other teams decided to hire their coaches? Laughable.

 

The rule is flawed, for sure, but the progress on display is at least very positive: the league's coaching staffs FINALLY (incrementally) more closely representing the diversity of its players. 

[wppete]

Happy about this. No way we can do this kind of deal especially with contracts we have coming up. We need to hit on draft picks and can’t afford to trade them now….. OBJ here we come!!!

Good point from a 49ers fan (about not letting the Rams get him):

Adds a major weapon* - 2nd round pick
Kept him from the rams - 3rd round pick
Under control for 3.5 seasons - 4th round pick
Sweetener - 2024 pick

*If healthy

Ballsy boom or bust move!

They shouldn’t worry about the rams.  Their season is over 

[SCBills]

For a team that doesn’t have a huge QB contract, trading for CMC makes a ton of sense given the heavy comp it clearly would’ve taken. 
 

I totally get why SF did this. 
 

For teams with elite QB’s and corresponding contracts in place or upcoming, this would’ve been wildly irresponsible for the GM to do.

Maybe they want to use the wishbone formation?!:

Kind of a weird trade, but hey it works for us. Really surprised by how much Kittle has been an afterthought in that offense this year and that's likely only going to continue now. He was the second coming of Kelce seemingly a year ago, now he's lucky to get 6 targets a game.

 

Feels like a situation with too many mouths and not a good enough QB to feed them all, but will definitely be interesting to watch.

I don’t see how. San Frans o line is dog *****. Who on that line is gonna create holes for CMC to run through?

I do have metrics to back this observation up. (Football Outsiders)

SF Oline is ranked 24th out of 32 teams. Rankings (Higher is worse):

power ranking is 21/32

stuff rate is 24/32

2nd level blocking 22/32

open field 8/32

Pass blocking 10/32

 

Buffalo Oline is 19/32

Power 22/32

Stuffed Rate 27/32

2nd Level 9/32

open field 6/32

Pass Blocking 4/32

Similar to what Baltimore deploys

[MJS]

Way too much. I guess that's a move you make when you don't have a QB.

May have been posted already (plus they get a 2024 comp third when Jimmy G. leaves):

 

 

There's some irony in that they used those picks to trade for a white running back.

[Dr.Sack]

I doubt this works out well considering CMC & Jimmy G’s injury history. But considering the parity in the NFC & the fact the Eagles, Cowboys & Giants will beat each other up, and the Vikings are the Vikings this move makes sense. If the NFC playoffs goes through Minnesota I like the Niners speed at the skill positions in a offensive friendly dome.

Can any of the RB's throw the ball better than Garapolo?  Way too much to give up for an injury prone guy.

[buffblue]

CMC is damn near washed. What a ridiculous trade for the 49ers.

 

I said at the beginning of the season that I would rather have Barkley, and got laughed at (obviously not going to happen now with how well the Giants are playing now). There's way, way more tread on his tires and he's a better player at this point.

 

Thank god our GM was smart enough to stay away from this foolishness.
