Dude, you are such a drama queen lol.

 

I mean if YOU say so

 

To be clear, I'm a drama queen because I believe a roster bereft of top-end talent is going to struggle?

 

[Donuts and Doritos]

Getting injuries out of the way early this season.

[Bookie Man]

Offense going to have to run through Shakir and Kincaid. Need both to take huge steps, which is very possible. And lean HEAVILY on the run game. No real deep threat, unless Coleman can win some 50/50 balls down the field. 

[Big Blitz]

Samuel is week to week.  Concerned not panicked.  
 

 

Kincaid 

Shakir 

Coleman 

Hollins 

Hamler 

Shavers 

Cook 

Gray 

 

We shouldn’t need Samuel in week 1 anyway.  
 

If we did we aren’t a SB team.

The WR core is weak even without the injuries.

 

This isn't good.  Turf toe will get aggravated during season.

Where is the "Doomed" meme

McD needs to go. He is clearly running the draft when you trade down for WR, then refuse to draft another in 3rd.  

Generational quarterback wasted by a defensive coach.

I always wondered what turf toe actually is.  So I looked it up.  It's a "metatarsophalangeal joint sprain."

 

That clarifies everything.

[RobbRiddick]

The WR room does look very ordinary no doubt. My hope is that Kincaid goes nuclear and takes a huge leap in year 2. We need him to play like an elite TE. If he does that, and if Coleman plays well enough, we could be okay. But I still see it as being inconsistent throughout the season and having the odd week where the offense just splutters all game and never really gets going. That's my best case scenario at this point. 

 

One thing is for sure, Josh is going to have to do a lot of improvisation and give some of these guys a chance to get open. If we have more passes to the RBs as well it will help, provided Cook catches them when he's targeted.

That clarifies everything.

A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments — the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints. 

Initial treatment includes rest, ice, compression and elevation.  Severe sprains sometimes require surgery to repair torn ligaments.

The difference between a sprain and a strain is that a sprain injures the ligaments or bands of tissue that connect two bones together, while a strain involves an injury to a muscle or to the band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.

 

I severely sprained an ankle once , the doctor said “broken bones heal faster than this kind of ligament sprain” it took months to get mostly better..but running and cutting would occasionally have me hobbling for a day or 2  for what had to be 9 months…

You're a drama queen because you sound like a 13 year old angry teen with your constant knee jerk responses...constant.

 

[Dan Darragh]

If starters aren't playing PS#3 and Mitch is out I guess we'll be signing a QB this week, anyone with a pulse. Ya think Fitzy would come out of retirement to be a camp arm? Or maybe Chad Kelly is tired of Toronto?

6-11 to 8-9

 

1-5 start is a real possibility given the weakness of this roster.

 

7 is about my comfort zone for this sad squad.

 

I think I liked you better as JOe in Winslow

The problem with it is it's hard to really rest.  Every time you walk, it puts stress on it.

Pretty sure it occurred on the turf

I think he meant where on his body... so the correct answer is the toe

Uh... so don't walk?  Seems pretty obvious.

 

How is he going to take a piss if he's sitting on the couch?

I have been pretty positive all off season but we are in trouble. If Samuel can’t be fully healthy, we need a real WR. Call the 49ers and ask them what they want for Deebo and let them work on keeping Aiyuk
