Yeah... when they did that the Niners had Joe Montana AND Steve Young and a second string better than most team's first string. I say we go back to it.

Incidentally, it was mostly to promote parity in the league and it has worked.

parity is boring.
Ya wanna be a winnah?
Spend, baby, SPEND!

The last two NFL seasons have been very bizarre. I'n 22 years of making picks I've never seen anything like it.
When once there was just draft kings and fan duel, now even ESPN has a betting site. Rig "no brainer" games that underdogs win magically and the people who put money on those underdogs make a ton of money. There were 3-4 of those games every week. The Chiefs lose to the Raiders in LV but they can go to LV for the Stuper Bowl and beat the Niners???

So under Demeco Ryan, the Niners were #1 rush defense. Went to #26. Scoring defense went from top 5 to bottom 5.

With that information... Wilks was the problem. I hope they get it solved.

Got it. Thanks.

Hate to keep pounding on the guy but after reading more about Wilks, he was just a bad hire. I know coaching at the highest level can be a revolving door but Wilks had more than a few one-year stints as either DC or HC (Arizona). For me, that would have been a red flag. It’s amazing that Shanahan didn’t see or sense that.

I forget who it was but on the Dan Patrick Show, a guest said Wilks wanted to change the terminology of the SF defense instead of learning their language. Truth be told, I wasn’t listening too closely but picked up on that particular comment. Leads me to believe that there was early, and perhaps constant, disagreements between Wilks and Shanahan. Last time I checked, iffin’ you’re always bickering with your boss or not doing what he’s telling you to do, one of you is gonna hafta go. Sure as h-e-l-l the HC ain’t firing himself!

On the upside, apparently Wilks is a good DB coach so fits better as a position or group coach. Someone out there is gonna give him a job.







Sure as heck hope it isn’t the Packers! 🤐
