@canefan laid out like that it's damning on the Niners isn't it?
Poor old Jimmy G. Far from the worst QB in the league, and has actually been very very close to success on two occasions, which is juuuuust enough to keep a guy on. But he'll never be that guy.

It looks bad. But easy to say after the fact. Brady defied the odds and continues to do so. Not scouting Mahomes and Watson is a little harder to swallow

A Complete History of Kyle Shanahan's Bad Quarterback Decisions with the 49ers
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn't made good decisions at the most important position -- quarterback.
Not great reading for 9ers fans. Especially the bit about Brady
I wouldn't read too much into that. Grant Cohn is a notorious click bait artist.
Think Rattue, Stephen Jones etc.
The fact is with Shanahan it's going to come down to if Trey Lance is legit or not.

lol ripped off.
If they rung Christchurch City Council they could find out how to get a perfectly fine modern stadium with a roof for a fraction of that

NFL says all 32 teams must have minority offensive coach this season
The NFL announced that teams must have a minority assistant on their offensive staffs for the 2022 season, a new requirement under the league’s Rooney Rule
Does this mean that beacuse there are not many Nepalese players in the NFL the minority offensive coach (whatever that means) must be from Nepal?

@kiwimurph on reflection I think it's a great move. Now teams are competing to get the most useful POC offensive coach they can... And if the find a good one, it's an advantage over the others.
Gets a lot of opportunities out there, now to up to the coaches to show their capability

Maybe, although Bowles is something of a protege for him I suspect and he's moving into a front office role where I suspect he'll have a lot of authority (and the ear of the head coach).
I'm excited to see how Bowles goes with his second chance. I liked him when he was the head coach of the Jets, but he had a couple of major issues. Will be interesting to see if having had some time back in a coordinator role has given him a chance to reflect and improve.

Steelers' Haskins dies after being struck by truck
Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins died after being struck by a dump truck. He was 24. Haskins was a first-round draft pick of the Commanders in 2019 after a standout season at Ohio State.
A bizarre and tragic story. What he was doing walking across a motorway who knows

Deebo Samuel wants out
It's not going right in Niner land

@mariner4life what went wrong? They seemed enthusiastic to pay him?

No clues in the ESPN article. The club wants to keep him. The only thing might be that they want to hold off on finalising a deal until closer to the draft, or their offer isn't as much as he expected

I think this is the crux of it.
Some big name receivers got big time deals this offseason (think Tyreek Hill).
The difference is players like Hill have years and years of production and Deebo has one season of production.
I understand where Deebo is coming from - especially the style he plays he wants to get paid elite money whilst he's still in his prime.
49ers are known for very team friendly deals but the flip side is situations like this. Personally i'd take the risk and pay him but 49ers are right to have some skepticism (he showed up out of shape to camp a couple of years back, he's a high risk of injury).
Whilst it's a fairly weak draft - at receiver the draft is strong so it will be interesting.

@KiwiMurph they can fix the situation by showing him the money. But it appears they will do it on their own time and they probably won't be in a hurry to do anything for now

That's true - however they may be too far apart and if 49ers want to get a return that would help them this season then they should trade him before the draft.
Theoretically the 49ers have fairly good leverage in that if Deebo decides to hold out it's going to cost him a lot of money very quickly and he's not on an enormous deal but 49ers may decide they might not want a disgruntled player around when they can get something back for him now when his value is at it's highest.
