Pass, I just want Bowers to be our primary receiving option. Make it Warner, CMC, Purdy, Bosa, or Williams and you'd have yourself a deal.

With all these injuries, maybe the niners are gonna blow it up and start their rebuild around Purdy. (I know that's incredibly stupid, but I want the guys on your roster)
reply
That won't happen. They will be able to keep the first couple years of Purdy's extension cap hits pretty low like the Eagles did with Hurts. That should allow them to keep the band together for a couple more years at least. They have some guys on expiring deals like Ward, who they might night be able to bring back next year so there will likely be some change but I don't expect change to the core for a few years. They extended CMC and Trent. Aiyuk is signed for 4 years. Deebo for 2 more years. Kittle for 2 more years, Warner for 2 more years. They will probably lose Greenlaw if he plays well when he comes back.

I can almost see CMC getting traded. Large contract, continually injured, mason looks serviceable. The best ability is availability and he hasn't been able to do that. Shifting his contract onto someone else wouldn't be bad business.

I'd keep him on ice until the playoffs, unless it seems like you'll miss them without him (which seems unlikely). If he's fresh for the postseason and teams don't have much film on this year's offense, that could be a big advantage.
reply
I think they will keep him out until after the bye. That would be another 5 games on top of the 3 he has missed and give him the bye week as well.
I think Mason can fill in admirably but he can't do all the things CMC does. 49ers offense has not been bad despite the injuries. They are racking up a lot of yards, moving the ball, controlling the clock, but 3rd down and red zone percentage are bad. CMC makes a huge difference there. They need to respect him in the pass game, screens, quick tosses.
Although the offense could be better. 49ers biggest problems right now are defensive and special teams related. Their D is ranked lower third in the league and special teams 28th. It's bad. Sorenson looks lost. Both Darnold and Stafford absolutely cooked on 3rd and long. I saw a film break down yesterday of the game. The Rams ran the exact same play on 3rd down 3 times. How is Sorenson not adapting. McVay was licking his chops. Not the FG drive but the one before the where the Rams scored the TD to tie the game. The 49ers had Campbell on Atwell. How you have a LB on the only speed guy they have out there. Of course Campbell got cooked and led to the massive gain that led to the TD.
reply
I am so pissed about that Rams game. Let a divisional opponent that was dead and buried absolutely steal a win from you. 49ers need to beat the Patriots by 30 this Sunday and get rolling. I don't care about the injuries anymore. Figure it out. Want to whine about the injuries against the Chiefs and Bills and Lions later in the season fine but not against a banged up Rams team or a garbage Patriots team.
This is the kind of quality insights the Stacker Sports podcast will feature. Haha .

Are there any good teams that really need a quality back? I've heard Dallas' RB room is pretty weak.
