Injuries, injuries, injuries

The 49ers haven't had their starting QB the entire year. They have injuries. They lost Warner. They're still 6-3.

Everyone has injuries so to me it's not an excuse. If you have them, do you have the ability to stay afloat, overcome them and still win games? Or do you fall off a cliff? We've done the latter. Not only that but we've become a team that's not competitive.

Shanahan and Lynch have been together for 8 years and have had time to build depth. This group has been together for less than 2.

True but AP has made more than a few puzzling moves in his short tenure . Im not seeing a future John Lynch in the making.

Maybe, but I still think AP is a talented guy. Lattimore didn't work out, but most folks on this site were probably pleased when we signed him. Tunsil has worked out. I think Deebo has worked out. Wise looked like he'd be a great addition before he got hurt. Armstrong was working out well before he got hurt. Will Harris didn't play enough before getting injured, so hard to tell. McCaffrey was showing some promise, particularly on teams, before he was hurt. Amos has shown promise. As has Conerly. I mean, I am not sure what AP was going to do short of getting rid of literally everyone from the Rivera era not named Tress Way (who actually pre-dated Rivera). Luvu made a pro bowl last year, although this year has been pretty crappy -- I have to think scheme is part of it. We've definitely had a few guys hang on too long -- Wagner and Ertz come to mind -- but both played very well last year but this year look like they've gone off the cliff. And the McLaurin holdout wasn't on the team -- I think his agent had him awaiting a deal that was never to (and did not) come to pass. It's not like these decisions have been all bad. And the injuries have been brutal and not limited to the old-timers either.

good post, it was all a perfect storm

i honestly think a full charged health Terry Deebo and Austin E would have been dynamic, i will argue he needed a better WR then noah brown

a healthy offense would have hid the D better; long drives more points on the board etc

Wagner and Ertz, father time just finally ring their door bell

DQ with JD5 coming back from knee and hamstring issues this week to leave him in , IMO foolish

Silver lining it probably keeps JD5 out this year and he doesn't recevie a injury that affects him long term

Agree with all this. What is it about the Seahawks and our QBs? I think we ought to use that as a little motivation for the next time.

Maybe we'd have more depth if we didn't trade for Lattimore. 😂
