The problem isn't what Matt Nagy/Bill Lazor call. Or how they game plan, etc.
It's the simple fact that they have been unable to coach the players to a level where they can execute whatever the play call may be.
That's the argument for firing them and it's a strong one.
@Tonysmarkettips@JimLongo1963 I agree with Jim. And Washington would've tried to limit that information because that's what PR does.
My point is: blame the media for not reporting it, not the team.
If he wasn't going to be missing time, there would be nothing to report. It isn't the 49ers job to provide information about this, it's the media's. Not disclosing it before absolutely necessary isn't a cover up.
I'm glad Kyle Shanahan is going to be okay, but I have a question...
If he had no visible injuries, would we ever have found out about this?
Seems like they only told us last minute before camp because they had to since they couldn't explain his absence. How often does this stuff happen and get covered up?
@Tonysmarkettips It isn't their job to provide information until it is necessary IF it ends up being necessary. In this case, it was necessary because their coach was going to be MIA. Media relations, not reporters.
Media members knew something was up and didn't bother to dig. That's the problem
@StatsOnFire They don't need the *full* story from the 49ers. They had plenty of time to obtain a police report. They're trying to defend their actions as not rushing. Really it was them not doing their jobs.
Per @ProFootballTalk Tim Kawakami knew of the crash, but said he didn't know the details. Those details were publicly available. Either he didn't know how to get the details or didn't want to. Either way, his bosses should not be happy.
BTW Sean Payton hired Morgan and just promoted him this offseason.
The Bears replaced 4 starters from 2024 to 2025, seems like that *might* be part of the reason the OL improved.
The Athletic has taken a close look at the investigation of ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller. And, at some point, someone will be asking ESPN what it knew and when it knew it about the alleged irregularities. https://t.co/0ayI8gvI8u
@cementblack3 I thought it was weird that he always posted about the charitable things he was doing, but there was never any evidence. Never a pile of coats that were donated, never handing anyone a check. All I said was I thought it was weird
Who would you build your team around? 🤔
19. New York Giants QB, Jaxson Dart
15. Chicago Bears QB, Caleb Williams
10. Detroit Lions OT, Penei Sewell
6. San Francisco 49ers QB, Brock Purdy
2. Washington Commanders QB, Jayden Daniels
Full ranking here: https://t.co/JXG5Qto0vP
FWIW: I think Caleb needs to be more consistent before we can call him a top 10 QB and, probably, before we can say he is definitely better than Love.
But this is fun discourse.
And I'm sure Mike Sando will have Williams like 18th in his rankings.
Execs, coaches, scouts rank Top 10 Quarterbacks:
-Allen vs Mahomes in closest race for 1st yet
-Stafford snipes nearly 20% first-place votes
-Burrow vs Lamar for T2
-Prescott way ⬆️
-NFL can't quit Herbert
-Caleb!
-Major snubs
