They sunk so much capital into Trey Lance. Things were looking dire. They had a really talented, but aging team. And nothing at QB.
But then Purdy came along, and played at a level the 49ers hadn't seen in a long time. The new savior. Some called the next Joe Montana (No, really. Some said that.)
And things honestly would've been fine going forward. Their Super Bowl Window would be wide open. It is when you have the "Real Deal" at QB.
But as we've seen over these last few weeks--Brock Purdy turn into a pumpkin.
But that is only 1 of their caustic wounds…
Kyle Shanahan had the genius idea to hire a DC that was not familiar with the defense they were already running. And is forcing him to use their scheme. This one decision has taken the #1 defense in the NFL down to a middle of the pack defense, with largely the same players.
The DC hire is the #4 most important guy in the building as it pertains to football. You cannot get this hire wrong or it will cost you. Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers got it wrong.
#1 Being QB
#2 Being HC
#3 Being GM
#4 Being DC (Most HCs are former OCs, making OC less valuable than DC as the HC is the defacto OC.)
#5 Being OC
Next is Bosa, they're paying him a kajillion dollars, and he isn't even close to being anywhere worth that.
CMC, yes short term, great trade. Long term, it's more capital flushed to assist in the rebuild.
LT-Great, but a dinosaur. The old fossil will likely retire after this season. Creating a huge hole on a not so great O-Line.
The 49ers do not have a lot of young, long term building blocks. And if Purdy isn't the guy, well… that creates another cavernous hole to a soon to be decrepit roster.
49ers fans, I'd like to know. Who are the 49ers players currently age 25 or younger, still under contract through at least next year that are your building block players?
Purdy?
Aiyuk, though technically a Free Agent (not under contract)
Hufanga
Lenoir
I'm just not seeing a lot here. Help me out.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks are loaded with 25 and under guys that ARE longterm building blocks.
This is the 49ers last shot at being Division Champs. And that is up in the air as they currently sit in 2nd place, and not looking good.
The crazy thing is the guy responsible for this mess. Kyle Shanahan, just got extended!
