He's had a bad game for his standard of play no doubt.
Actually have a chance with how abominably stupid Staley-Brain is.....er maybe he's an idiot savant who knows.
A lot of players returning to the practice field today for the #49ers: Jason Verrett, Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, Jimmie Ward to name a few.

Not enough for the Chiefs - the offense cannot hang with the Chiefs. Even if the team had no injuries, they would be underdogs. The Colts pulled it off, but lightening doesn't strike twice.

Stunner: Panthers are trading Pro-Bowl RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for draft picks, sources tell ESPN.

This is the one guy I didn't want. Not because he's not talented, he's VERY talented. However, he's injury prone. Our coach, LOVES running his RB's until they are hurt. That is a horrible combination.
My only hope is that Jed and Lynch went to kyle before the trade and told him that he will not run McCaffery like he's run every other RB we've had during his tenure here.

The analytic/nerd circles I run around in normally are all clowning this, but idc, CMC is hype as hell in the Shanny scheme. This team has a window the next 3 years to win a championship; some 3rd round DT out of Tulane most likely isn't going to improve those odds. The rest of the team is complete once it gets healthy and the 49ers by far have the best skill position grouping in the NFL. Not really all that close. Truly, all we need his health and Jimmy G to be the 20th best QB in football and we should be one of the favorites to come out of the NFC.
This doesn't address QB and Offensive Line - the real problems - my feeling is Lance is a bust and Garrapolo is only a backup......this offense is not good enough for top competition this year - and you see what happens when the defense incurs major injuries - the team can't compete against a middle-of-the-pack team in the Falcons. And that includes the offensive line. On the trade, that's too much draft capital for McCaffery -- reeks of desperation. Having McCaffrey doesn't change how mediocre the offensive line and QB has looked. Red herring.

Getting the best tackle in all of football back does though.
The offensive line isn't bad, the back-up tackles have been bad. When you get the best Tackle in football back and a reasonable starter in McGlinchy, that unit is going to be good again. The young guards and Banks especially have far exceeded expectations and been pretty dang good.
And no duh the defense looked bad... tell me what team could afford losing their entire starting secondary, their entire starting D-Line and a starting LB?
Not enough........they blew it earlier - they needed picks for a QB selection. Now they've hamstrung themselves for other positions due to the amount of picks. Not seeing it.

What positions are they hamstrung at exactly?
Banks has been in the upper tier of guards this season and Burford has been pretty good for a rookie day three pick. The weakest position for the Niners o-line has been center and even there Brendel has been solid enough.
At the skill positions, Deebo, Kittle, CMC, and Juice are all locked in for the next several seasons and Aiyuk has at least another season under team control.
On defense, Armstead, Mooney Ward, Warner, Drake Jackson, Greenlaw, and Jimmie Ward are all under contract around the same time frame with Bosa and Hufanga both up for extensions in the semi-near future as restricted free agents.
As the Rams have proven, people tend to place way too much value on picks in the NFL, a league where UFAs are just as likely to end up being stars as most day two picks.
Their offense had 2 good drives, and was pitched a shut out the 2nd half against the Falcons - yes the great Falcons.. Not working. They're now running into better competition...... .500 would be good.....which is where they are. They're not beating the Chiefs Sunday - 2.5 pts favored, worth a bet.
Any injury or free agent position which are quite a bit in football. Its statistics and covering for future events. They just traded half their 2023 draft class - for a slight upgrade not needed - Wilson Jr is not the problem. Had this been for a QB - yes, ok
