49ers’ 9-4 start in review: MVPs, best and worst moves, reasons to hope (or not) (paywall)
“They are 5-2 since Warner was hurt.
Their wins were against teams outside the current playoff picture who lost with either a rookie QB (Sanders, the Giants’ Jaxson Dart), a second-year QB (Atlanta’s Michael Penix Jr.) an embattled third-year QB (Carolina’s Bryce Young) or a journeyman backup QB (Arizona’s Jacoby Brissett).
Their losses, by an average of 13.5 points, were against teams with a winning record who employ Pro Bowl QBs (Stafford, Houston’s C.J. Stroud).
There are no last-place schedules in the playoffs.“
49ers’ Robert Saleh shares candid thoughts on coaching future
“Most of us—I don’t know if every coach does—but we all want to get to the top of our profession,” Saleh told Anderson.“
NFL insider links 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk to Commanders
“”One team to potentially watch for Aiyuk is Washington,” Fowler shared. “He is close with quarterback Jayden Daniels, his former teammate at Arizona State. And general manager Adam Peters — a John Lynch disciple from his time in San Francisco — understands the Aiyuk experience well”… “One common trait the Niners look for in wide receiver prospects is the ability to pick up yards after the catch,” Reid wrote. “And that means KC Concepcion (Texas A&M) and Chris Bell (Louisville) would be two realistic options at the back end of Round 1 — the 49ers are projected to pick No. 28, per ESPN’s Football Power Index — and both would make a lot of sense. Concepcion has 423 yards after the catch this season, while Bell has 378.”
