I was giving SF fans a hard time for their team passing on a future HOF QB. Imagine if Rodgers were with the current SF team. A running/passing dominance!

Either way, Go KC!

Last time I checked, Week 14 was in the regular season.

Or imagine if Alex Smith was ever in a stable environment? Rodgers is overrated...

Would've been a better game for sure but my blood pressure wouldn't have been able to take that stress again

And I agree with others here, while I am a Niners fan and am not fully sold on Jimmy, yes he is serviceable with flashes of being really good, I think it way too early to label him a game manager a la Dilfer, Brad Johnson, etc.
I think goalposts are being moved when you talk about stats, regular season games, vs. playoff games, etc., because he has had to win some games with his arm this season but beyond that when it comes to this postseason, you are riding the hot hand with the rushing game. There has been absolutely no need to deviate from what's working this postseason. Opposing teams cannot stop the run and the defense has clamped down on opponents. The Niners should start throwing now just to prove they can, stat pad? Makes absolutely no sense if the sole objective is to win a title. Jimmy is locked up for the foreseeable future, there will be other opportunities to "prove" himself. And like someone else mentioned Shanahan has learned from the ATL Super Bowl debacle it seems.
As a Niner fan I will never be confident and at best cautiously optimistic. Yes the KC offense and Mahommes scare me but I don't think they have faced this kind of defense this year and KC has the X factor working against them, and that is Reid who can't win the big one and I still have no reason to believe he can/will.

You mean like the 4 years smith spent in KC before they drafted Mahomes?

Not sure what the point was here, Smith was pretty good in his time, a stable environment, in KC, no turnover with coaching like his time, in his early formative, years in SF, which I believe the point Biz was making. Smith had a different OC in his first three or four years in SF, formative years. It was pretty detrimental to his development. He probably wouldn't have been Rodgers but he probably would've been better than he was/is, which still wasn't bad all things considering.
I like(d) Smith and wasn't all that supportive when Harbaugh made the switch to Kaep, who seemed gimmicky and pretty much was. SF did get a good haul in return in the form of draft picks though.

According to NBCSports Bay Area, the 49ers will be in their standard white jersey and gold pants for the Feb. 2 game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the “home” team for the game and will wear their red jerseys.

The 2020 NFL Draft in Vegas will have players being escorted on boats, lol

49ers were 3 plays from going undefeated this season. 3 losses on the last play.

The guy went 2 years without a single KC receiver catching a touchdown pass. He was a horrible QB.

[El Rey]

that stat was eye catching but a bit more representative of the Chiefs WR corp at the time. He lead the Chiefs to the playoffs 4/5 seasons in KC, had decent, even stand out Pro-Bowl stats, while there. Don't think a horrible QB could've accomplished that.

No Eagles receiver topped 500 yards this season. That wasn't on Wentz. The receivers were bad.

Police at Antonio Brown's house again. Another incident.

Since he never even appeared in a preseason game for us we dont have to call him a “former Raider” right? We’re usually proud of our Raider criminal past. AB we’d like to forget entirely.

At some point, the proper help needs to be given to him.

Same here.

Think thats only the red carpet part not the actual draft.

[Moviefan1203]

I’m torn. I’d like to see Reid get his ring, but the thought of Tyreek Hill winning a Super Bowl churns my stomach.
