    yeah i read it, and i am a little unsure how to take it

    last year was so obviously a dumpster fire, and you could see how bad the coaching was

    but this feels like someone laying the platform for some excuses later in the year when we are 3rd in teh Division and scratching towards a .500 record.

      Some players complaining about Bienemy's intensity. Maybe they're the problem, and not him?

          He's basically auditioning for a future HC job. If he can sort out Washington that will be a major feather in his cap

            Good for him, good for the franchise and the new owner if it happens

            Hopefully a better name will help😀

              It will be interesting if they change the name. Make a clean break with the previous owner

                    It's only preseason but jeez Trey Lance looked bad for the 49ers yesterday. Don't let the stats fool you - he was poor. His TD pass was a dropped interception that ricocheted to a 49er standing 5 yards away.

                    I'd say the 49ers are stuck with Lance as he is relatively expensive so it's going to be very hard to trade him but at best he's looking like the 3rd QB on the depth chart.

                    He may yet resurrect his career in a few years on a different team if he can string some starts together (ala Geno Smith) but as a 49er he is going nowhere - he actually looks a poor fit for the Shanahan offense from a skillset point of view too - he has poor footwork and really struggles to throw on time in a timing based offense.

                      What a bust, they better hope that Purdy ends up being a decent starter because they gave up a bit to get Lance. The only consolation is that to date, none of the QBs picked lower than him (Fields, Jones) appear to be slam dunk long term starters. But both have potential and are already better than Trey

                          QB economics are broken. You kind of have to take a punt and hope it just works. But yeah, looks worse and worse in hindsight

                            It's one thing to take a QB that busts, it's another to trade up for said bust QB. The Lance pick didn't make much sense at the time and looks even worse now.

                              The only QB who looks like a definite keeper right now is Lawrence. The jury is still out with Fields and Jones. Oh to hop back in the Delorean, take Lance's pick and use it to buy other position players and take Purdy late

                                      The only consolation is that to date, none of the QBs picked lower than him (Fields, Jones) appear to be slam dunk long term starters. But both have potential and are already better than Trey

                                      So is Purdy and he is cheaper than Fields or Jones

                                        Absolutely. I was only talking about the high draft picks. Purdy has the potential to surpass them all

                                          but i don't like Rodgers much

                                          huh - any particular reason?

                                          I'm planning a Tuesday Night Football regular get together this year - a few folk to watch MNF on delay. NZ timing not bad ... but DAZN sucks balls on quality at the moment; weighing up that risk against just getting Sky Sport Now

                                          OK, an update.

                                          DAZN on a modern TV app is pretty good. They have really lifted their game once preseason started - probably had a single shitty server out the back somewhere to start with.

                                          Much better than throuhg PS5 or PC.

                                          Also allows up to two streams at once ... so eminently shareable if you know what I mean.

                                          Wound up biting the bullet as they're the next 10 years of streaming internationally. Redzone on replay is what I want - will be hours of content each week. figured I'd report back as I put the boot in before, it was colossally terrible (including shitty helpdesk)
