Football General Talk

NFL and CBS execs planning SB coverage: “Let’s show Taylor ten times, no A HUNDRED TIMES!”

I could not bring myself to watch the game b/c unlike MtMuley, I feel like my head is going to explode w/ the endless Taylor reaction shots.

Finally at halftime I drug myself to the TV… I watched cartoons with my kids for a half hour before finally clicking over to the game for 2nd half kickoff. I was holding out hope 49’ers would somehow not disappoint…

“It’s just a game.” I can’t do this to myself any longer - no more watching chiefs games until these two break up.

I like to gripe and joke about it, but if not her it will be somebody else I don’t care about. They have been flashing to celebs for 40+ years - why does this one grate on you so much that you would stop watching? Lots of good reasons to stop watching, but this one seems iffy.

Purdy I thought handled it damn well. I'm happy to call that kid our QB

He is too inconsistent in throws more than 10yds beyond line of scrimmage and struggles too much with “second wave” rushers to be elite. 15 QBs can do what he does - and at $1M a year he can lead really good teams. But when he is $40+M and 9ers have to make roster cuts to pay for that, he won’t sniff a Super Bowl.

I thought he played ok- slightly above average, which is probably what he is right now.

He didn’t make too many big mistakes, but had trouble after the first read as per usual. He does what they ask him to do very well, but will that be enough? Tough to say (and he is really young). The 49ers will reveal what they think of him by rewarding him with a big contract or not here soon enough.

Let’s be real though- if you switched the two QBs last night, that probably turns a three score game.

Too your point, not a single member of the Chiefs offense last night would start on the 9ers except for Mahomes. Although there would be some good Kittle/Kelce debate. The 9ers roster is just better than Chiefs, but Mahomes doesn’t blink.

It is a tell of sorts about a person's political views. It is amplified with a generational and gender gap.

Sorry to offend- didn’t think a fairly benign (and fairly obvious, imo) observation would set anyone off. Wasn’t my intention.

You got to see his brilliance in person, so I will default to your expertise on this one👍

Hopefully he has sobered up today or he really won’t like my take.

In the first half, especially, Purdy made some big time throws that were exactly where they needed to be. Something a game manager would not be expected to do or be able to do. It’s a shame that he’s the 54th paid Qb in the league and won’t be able to renegotiate his contract for 2 years when his rookie contract is up.

Cousins is a “game manager” and throws a much more accurate ball beyond the 10yd box that Shannan keeps him in. He is a 10-16 level QB. Which by definition means he is going to make some decent throws sometimes. He is on a stacked roster that in a significant part is stacked because he is cheap. So he will be OK for the next 2 seasons, but when his new salary hits he won’t even be remembered. Remember when we all loved Flacco?

No kidding. If not for a stupid special teams play on that punt and a missed extra point, Mr. Irrelevant wins the super bowl. Two plays completely changed that game. SF was the better team, Purdy played the better game against a great defense.

No one who knows football is saying Purdy played a better game than Mahomes. But I do agree SF had the stacked roster — making Mahomes all that much better than Purdy.

It will be interesting how the 49's proceed with him. He is a very competent but not great qb. One thing needed to be great is arm strength. He is lacking some there. He seems plenty poised to me. They tried to get their franchise qb with Trey Lance. That did not pan out. You could fault their drafting acumen when trading up to get their qb, and missing on it.

If they pay him the going rate for QB's they will be a in similar situation as the Vikings have been with Cousins.

Yes you did and still are. It was a point about a single player, which is why it is valid
Your counter is only valid at a team level.

my god I can't believe I'm defending buzz. I might need an emergency intervention

I'm not really going to agree with you but more interesting I think is what if he decides to go the Tom Brady model in contracts? He's the kind of guy that might do that.

One could extend that to those who love Purdy and hate Hurts and Mahomes.

I can't understand all of this nonsense talk about Purdy and quite frankly Its the most annoying conversation in sports media anymore. He's not this, he ain't that, he's a mid level guy, he has a stacked team blah blah blah.

You wanna sit there and tell me that Hurts doesn't have a stacked team, Lamar doesn't have stacked team, Burrow doesn't have a stacked team, Dak, Allen, Tua.... whatever open your eyes and watch the tape. The kid led the league in EVERY category across the board. He had a bad game against the Ravens and then everyone in the world criticizes the kid like he's some deflated piece of shit. He beat 49ers franchise records, set by arguably 2 of the best to ever do it. Brought the team back from extinction in the playoffs, played a solid super bowl and in the end came up short. Your take is fkn garbage, he didn't lose the game. A fumble, a muffed point, missed PAT and penalties killed em. All made ..... by the stacked players around him. The kid carries himself with heart and class and I'll bet they'll be back sooner than your sorry ass team.

So yeah vikingsboy fk your take.
