it came on the heels of a completion to Aiyuk. Williams got badly beat on that previous completion. And they had to roll help towards Williams and left Ramsey on an island versus Mike Evans for the same reason in the previous game because Williams was not getting his job done in man coverage.

 

It is not just that one play, QBs are seeking out where Williams is being lined up.

 

Ramsey should be on an island a lot lol...

 

Not saying Williams is elite. He's decent though. 49ers have 3 great pass catching options, so anyone not named Ramsey is going to struggle IMO.

 

Also, we have 2 of the better offensive HCs in the league. A lot of creativity, even within some obvious limitations (like Jimmy G). Mix that in with 2 great OLs, several great weapons (skill players), and even great Ds (both are very good) will struggle in places. I'm sure Shannahan has Williams' name circled simply because his name isn't Ramsey lol...

Yea the people that say Wentz is as good as Jimmy G are dreaming lol. He may not have a ton of elite traits but does all the right things and just seems to be able to make the plays in the clutch when they matter. The guy is 31-15, and 4-1 in the playoffs with the 49ers.

I know, SF about to wipe their feet on a loaded Rams team.

Reich and Ballard have stressed since the season ended need to pass the ball. Jimmy is not it. Lol. Colts don’t have SF defense. He would get ate up in the AFC.

I would agree. He is been really good at being decisive and on time with throws especially in critical situations.

 

Bottom line he makes good decisions and complements what they do defensively well.

 

Also, 49ers defense (especially pass rush with front 4) is a level above anything we have put out during the Ballard era.

Take away Jimmy's weapons, his D, and his top 5 OL, and put him behind the 3rd worst pass pro OL with a D that lets mediocre QBs look like pro bowlers... It's just a great comp.

With all the young QB in the AFC he would get slathered.  He gets away with it in the NFC.

I would say Brady, Rodgers, Stafford, are easily comparable to Mahomes, Allen, Burrow. Just older, more experienced.

Are you forgetting about week 7 this season?

It was a drowning rain storm, plus teams change as the season progresses week 7 in ancient history.

 

Also in terms of points allowed our defense was only slightly worse then SF the last 2 seasons. They have 2 weapons, maybe 3 if you count Ayuik.

 

Yes you can use the Oline stat to try and bail out Wentz again but I promise you Wentz doesn't have the winning "it" factor Jimmy has. You act as if the rest of the team everyone but Jimmy is winning games and going to the NFC Championship game, maybe to the SB twice in the last 3 years.

 

He is for sure a part of the equation. When things are on the line and matter he wins, Wentz does not. That goes back to his Philly days as well.

49ers D is a chippy and borderline dirty bunch, I feel like. Too many shots after the whistle but it gets into the Rams players heads and they retaliate. The 49ers D also is not afraid to put pressure on refs to call penalties.

 

I remember Jeff Fisher getting tired of Rodney Harrison’s cheap or late shots. So his TE crack blocked Harrison and he went on IR for the rest of the season. Peyton hadn’t beaten Patriots with Rodney Harrison playing for a full 60 minutes. So it worked out in our 2006 AFCCG. 
 

That is why refs need to take control of the games

Both players had to deal with that weather. Wentz played better.

 

And the SF defense gets way more pressure consistently than ours.

 

And you can’t discount our terrible Oline pass pro just because it ruins your argument.

    • He doesn't need to prove anything to you or anyone else. 
    • I think Zach Hicks said it best, well, he could've clean it up a little bit       
    • Of course the speed is real unique in terms of him always being a top level separator. What I also like for him to be such a big dude is his feet. He's actually pretty nimble after the catch in small spaces.  I thought he just played on the outside but I've seen LSU play him from the inside as well. Also see them throw him quick hitter, screen type passes that he makes extra yards out of. I think he has very good hands and he is good with his routes. I didn't dwell much on attacking the football because that can be taught if it's an issue. I've seen some say he doesn't always go all out every time but no prospect is perfect in college. If I had things to fix I don't see big holes in his game. Just few things I like but not exhaustive
    • What do you mean back with a bang?  PFF rated Hooker 77.3 and Blackmon 68.3 in 2023.   Not a huge difference for a pick 15 and a pick 78? who had "injuries limiting their once all pro careers".  LOL.  But they did not play exactly the same roles.  Hooker was ranked poorly in terms of most stats, while Blackmon pretty average.   Example: Hooker was targeted only 10 times while allowing 8 receptions (ranked 90th).  Blackmon was targeted 44 times allowing 31 receptions (ranked 18th)  There are nuances with the stats though.  Hooker had only 31 tackles for a 75th ranking while Blackmon had 72 tackles for a 17th ranking.  Obviously, Hooker was asked to play FS like a goal keeper on a soccer team, which is about all he could ever do, while Blackmon probably had more different responsibilities.  JMO.   DeJean at 22 or later plus a 3rd round pick would give us probably a better all around FS/SS than either while picking up another player from a trade down.  Not that I'm advocating it.  Just one plausible event in a sea of fantasy drafting.   Brian Thomas or Chop Robinson at 22 would be nice too, IMO. Or even a RT.
    • Maybe his mannerisms, speech, and occasional (apparent) emotional public interjections (Saturday, comments about Daniel Snyder, etc.) play a part in public perception.   A truly recovering addict would admit his contribution to public perception and would not lay it off onto bigots, as he is indirectly doing.   He's probably not truly recovered and I would take anything he says about his issue as being a flat out lie until proven otherwise.
