I often have said on my son Grant’s YouTube channel the 49ers need to do two things to prove they are a serious team, and that is to get rid of two players who were/are deadwood on the team.
There exists a bad trend over a long period of time. Dee Ford, Hargrave, Deebo, Jerick McKinnon, and Aiyuk are examples of players that got monster contracts and then never lived up to them. And although I think Purdy is good, I don't feel he's deserving of being paid like a top ten quarterback. So unfortunately this trend may continue. I now live in DC and although I will always remain faithful to my Niners, I have enjoyed what the Commanders did last season. Even though Deebo is not the player he was, I feel they will utilize him wisely, taking balls off jet sweeps, screen passes or returning kick offs. But I generally agree he wasn't of real value anymore--especially when he assaulted Pepper, the long snapper.
I have no doubt that this is an objective opinion piece based on nothing but Kyle J's performance on the field last year! LOL! The Cohn Family is so patently obvious in their attempts to spin facts to fit their chosen narrative.
Using stats is a poor way to judge his value. He's a decent blocker and the offensive scheme needs his presence for the running game. This strikes me as personal.
Juice makes 5.4 mil a year 10 mil guaranteed... literally NFL chump change and you're crying to can him like it would affect anything at all other than taking Kyle some freedom to call some offschedule plays using him? The Cohn family of spin artists are the only not serious part of the 49ers orbit.
The creative genius gave Tang the ball at what, the 1 or 2 yard line, to run into the middle of the line and what did he do? FUMBLE! As Judge Judy would say, get the hell outta here with your defense of Kyle and the fullback.
Ahh yes, putting a single play in a vacuum is a GREAT way to analyze the usefullness of a player. Hey CMC fumbled the ball in the Superbowl GET THAT BUM OUTA HERE! Dude sucks! Amirite?
Not surprised you missed the essential point of my criticism. The fullback is an obsolete, I would call it irrelevant, position. I believe five NFL teams currently employ a fullback. When successful teams design plays utilizing a two-back set, it’s with running backs who can break through holes or get outside, not 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
Yes, CMC fumbled. It happens, even to the best players. But my criticism is of the play call. Every member of the opposing team was prepared for it. If you don’t believe me, go back and watch the replay. A quick pass out to the flat and the receiver walks in.
Wow, how did I not grok all that from your previous comment? Dang! I'd ask you about his Superbowl TD, but that would be useless, being outside your analysis vacuum and all.
A big contract would be nice but what team would pay that price? I think they should trade Williams, CMC, Juice and use the draft to get OL and DL help at rookie level. Should also take all the dead cap space this year and protect Purdy with a running game. They have to realize that they are not going to SB so they should swallow hard and get ready to add more skill players next year when cap cash assets are increased
You are right on Lowell but I’d like to take add to your observations. I think the Yorks (Jed, his parents, or all of them) woke up one day and looked at all the contracts and actual cash spent (over 300 M according to Grant) and they all fainted
When they woke up they decided to get rid of bloated contracts and players and Debo was 1st to go. Trading Aiyuk after they just signed him to

Case dismissed.
