It's honestly pathetic to win a game by 4 in the last minute against essentially a tanking team while outgaining them by about 500-250, but that's what happens when you have the literal worst HC in the league.

And I'm not even mad at any of the players, I actually feel sorry for some of them, because both sides of the ball played well for the most part today.

But nearly finding a way to lose while dominating most of the game and severely outgaining an opponent who is looking for any reason to quit is just mind-numbing. A ridiculous amount of penalties, some of which were obviously questionable, and soft turnovers are hallmarks of terrible coaching, so here we are.

I have a weird feeling that next week's game is going to be way more competitive than you'd think at first glance though. The defense has played somewhat respectable for about 7 of the last 8 quarters, SF's defense is kind of susceptible to the pass and they got their ass beat pretty good by Atlanta on the road just before the bye.

But even if they somehow find a way to win they'll almost assuredly follow it up with a complete turd in one of the next two games against tanking Tennessee or tanking Philly.
 
If our defense wasn't such a flaming piece of shit Quinnen Williams would be a DPoY candidate.

I believe he now has 14 TFL and is on pace to have nearly as many TFL in a season as any DT in the last 10-15 years. Plus what'll probably end up being about 7-9 sacks.

Yeah, I mean; that’s still pretty mediocre third WR production.

In a game where the WR1 had 200 yards. Flo also had at least 1 catch overturned because of an OL penalty. Regardless, you can't judge a receiver in a game where the guy opposite him has a career year.

that’s impressive… if it’s 1992

They're fucking idiots if they go into next season with Flournoy as the WR2, unless they do something dramatic at RB like signing Chase Brown and going with a ground-heavy offense.

There just aren't enough playmakers offensively when Williams will probably slow down even more next season.

The real solution would be signing a mid-tier FA like Downs, Parker Washington or maybe even Rashee Rice, although he might be retarded.
 
Caleb Williams is the perfect example of how reliant most QB's are on the system/coaching around them.

If he had been drafted by Matt Nagy he'd have been on the Darnold career path, instead he gets a top 3 playcaller in the league who turned Jared Goff into an MVP candidate, and now people think he's some special talent.
 
I'll say this about WR, there are ways around replacing Pickens that doesn't include a first round pick or spending 20-25/year on a guy like Parker Washington.

The WR class is pretty deep and you could easily get a round 2 guy who could push Flournoy to be the WR2 as a rookie.

The issue is that you can't just roll with Lamb, Flournoy, Williams, Ferguson, Spann-Ford, and whatever slop spare RB2 you pluck off the scrap heap as your skill position players, plus a 2nd round rookie. If you want to do that you're basically going to have to earmark your 1st rounder for WR if you want any sort of serious skill position talent around Dak in his last 2-3 years.

To avoid doing that you'd need to sign a starter-level RB alongside Williams to make the running game more dynamic, and then off that cobble together production in the passing game opposite of Lamb with Flournoy and a 2nd rounder.

The issue of course is that Steele is still a piece of shit at RT and the defense is obviously in need of talent basically everywhere, so I'm not overly thrilled with the idea of having to take a WR in the 1st/2nd come hell or high water.
 


So, did we help or hurt his trade value?
