San Francisco 49ers General Thread

[Warhawk_46]

They are just eager for the anomaly that is a super productive white running back to disappear

I really hope Louis Rees-Zammit becomes mccaffrey 2.0

Will Shipley is our next feature back.

I think we all believe strongly that Carson Steele, if he gets a chance, has the ability to be a very good feature back as well.

Louis Rees-Zammit has all the ability in the world. Will have to see how it translates into the nuances of American football.

Brock Wright gets a nice offer sheet to back up George Kittle:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the 49ers’ offer sheet for Brock Wright is worth $12 million over three years.
The Lions initially tendered Wright on a one-year, $3 million contract his offseason. The tender allows Wright to seek a better offer but still gives Detroit a chance to match. Now they have to choose between letting Wright walk or signing him to a three-year, $12 million deal. It’s a good contract for a backup tight end, but Wright has earned more than a one-year contract. In addition to his backup duties, Wright is a strong blocker and plays plenty on special teams.

Lions match the offer sheet. Hopefully the 49ers get one of the talented White TEs in the draft.

Why 2024 Could be Christian McCaffrey's Final Season with the 49ers

Analyzing why 2024 could be Christian McCaffrey's final season with the San Francisco 49ers.

They say there are better running backs in rushing yet McCaffrey led the league in rushing. It's one game and they act like he
could never go for over 100 yards against the Chiefs. Lie, lie, rinse repeat and lie some more. Lame stream media.

 

[Warhawk_46]

One of the things that pisses me off the most… he rushed for over 300 yards more than the next best running back in the league this year and then had an outstanding playoffs. The Chiefs sold out to ensure McCaffrey wouldn’t beat them and he still compiled 160 all purpose yards.

He is the best runner in the league by nearly every metric. He is also the best receiving running back.

And he is the #1 focus of every defense they play against.

In terms of all around talent there really isn’t a close second.

Looking at the 49ers current depth chart, Taylor has a chance to stick as the fourth or fifth receiver. He returns to the team where he made his mark as a rookie only to see his career ruined by injuries:

The 49ers have agreed to terms with Trent Taylor, formerly of the Bears, on a one-year deal.
Taylor returns to the 49ers for the first time since 2020. The past three seasons he spent time as a reserve for the Bears and Bengals. The 29-year old receiver had his best season in 2017 as a rookie (43-430-2) with the 49ers who originally drafted him. He’ll now look to stick in San Fransisco once again.

Gotta say Mertz was running for his life on most of these hilights...4/5 sumo line. Like I said Pearsall is a burner with gifted hands.

I wish the 49ers had picked up some defensive players and some OL.
I am happy though that Pearsall and Schrader went to a team that has shown they are not afraid to use white players at these key positions.

 

[Warhawk_46]

Offensive line really needs some better run blockers though.

Ricky Pearsall worked very hard to overcome Caste System obstacles. He may or may not recognize the Caste System in football, but he worked his butt off and that combined with his abundant talent paid dividends. Not saying it can happen to every White aspiring football player at the verboten positions, but working to be twice as good as the Caste System's long-time beneficiaries is the mindset they need to have.

Good piece on Pearsall! Talent and drive, let's hope he gets involved early and often as a rookie.

Good article. One paragraph that stood out was this one:

"Pearsall’s weight-room work to increase his strength was evident in his play. Last season he dwarfed his career-best totals with 65 catches for 965 yards. In 2022, his first season at Florida after transferring from Arizona State, he had 33 catches for 661 yards, despite playing with QB Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in last year’s draft."

I highlighted the sentence in this paragraph that made choke on my sip of coffee lol Richardson is not a good QB...period. He made 33 catches for 661 yds despite having Richardson as his QB lol

Good catch. Yea, it was definitely a huge detriment to play with a RB at QB. The Ravens receivers never have impressive stats either….

 

[El Gringo]

Here’s Pearsall working out with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Pretty impressive stuff! To me Pearsall looks just as quick if not quicker.

 

[jphoss]

Pearsall, who is 3 inches taller than hill, ran a 4.05 20 yard shuttle vs hill who ran a 4.06. Both great times but something we’ve documented countless times here that white athletes demonstrate better quickness and deceleration than black athletes. Lateral quickness and deceleration are both more important than straight line speed in all sports besides sprinting
