The only thing that can make the past 4 seasons , 3 Championship game appearances matter is a 2023 Superbowl championship. Then the 3 of 4 was a stepping stone to a dynasty. This team is unreal. All-pro players at possibly half the teams starters , Top position players at HB , FB , LT then you can add a 4rth , TE because Georger Kittle @85 is the best for my money. Defense DE , MLB and Greenlaw could be the best OLB in the game with Huafunga closing in fast that's 2 with a possible 3
Lets take a look at the roster with some of our ratings and projections thrown in there
QB1. #13
(81) A
Brock Purdy
17 Games started (13-4)
4,300 Pass Yards , 32 Pass TD's , 11 IT'S
550 Rush yards , 5 Rush TD's , 8 Fumbles
Purdy should be a 90 rated player at seasons end
QB2. #5
(74) B
Trey Lance
Lance is the week 1 starter in n the preseason which means he has the edge on Darnold or Shanahan wants to showcase him for ATL who was at one point hot for Lance.
Trade Projection***
ATL Gets Trey Lance
SF Gets 2024 3rd round pick , 2025 5th round pick
QB2. #14
(79) B+
Sam Darnold
2023 projections if he started all 17 games
4,400 Pass yards , 35 TD"s , 15 INTs
We love Darnold with this offense and system , his last 6 games with CAR Sam started the last 6 games with interim coach at the time and new 49ers Defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes and was 4-2 posting 7TDs , 3INTs . Darnold is the beat QB2 in the NFL
Just to compete for the 3rd spot , they signed Kyle Allen another solid QB former CAR Panther. With Purdy being the star that we know he is (2022) best QB in the Draft , this is a top 3 QB room.
QB's (90)A+
HB1. #23
(97)A+
Christian McCaffrey
2023 Projected stats;
1300 Rush yards , 13 Rush TD , 0Fumbles , 5.8 per Carry
80 Receptions , 900 receiving yards , 8 rec TD
RunCMC is arguably the best overall back in the NFL, the man's 1rst full game in red and gold he ran for a TD , caught a TD then tripled up and threw a TD against the NFC West rival , reigning Superbowl champion LA Rams
HB2. #25
(88)A
Elijah Mitchell
Mitchell is such a great back when he's healthy and he is almost never available. His rookie year he played in 10 games and rushed for over 980 yards. At times even with McCaffrey, Shanahan sticks with Mitchell because he's gashing the defense 8 yards a pop. Overall we love Eli and he cannot be counted on with such a big responsibility on this team which is not only CMC's spell but a Shanahan offense which thrives with the run game.
That QB3 spot is reportedly in a dead heat between TDP and Jordan Mason. Personally we would go Mason who was labeled Beastmode 2.0 and cosigned by people after a mini beast quake in SEA to seal a big game.
HB3. #24
(77)A
Jordan Mason
Mason can easily be a 1000 yard rusher and feature in any system , he looks that good
HB3. 32
(77)B
Tyrion Davis-Price
TDP was a high draft pick only 2 years ago and has looked excellent this past camp
We will pick up with FB through O-Line next post , Later,
