McCaffery was playing hurt too if I remember correctly And Deebo was out with an injury. Take CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard away from Dak...how do you think he'd fare?Vs the Bengals maybe you could say that because he put up a lot of yards but threw two picks. He wasn’t good against MN in the second half. 272/1/2 isn’t a good game statistically. A little bit above his yardage average, but 2 picks negates a lot of yardage.
Vs Cleveland was a struggle.
In the wins he has 26 TD and 2 Int
In the losses he had 3 and 5.
Against Cincy and MN CMC had 118 and 96 scrimmage yards. Not quite up to his usual but not too bad.
Trent Williams was also hurt in that losing streak. We had a FG to win against Cleveland at the end. The rookie kicker missed. Just a lot of things. Most teams don't go through undefeated. So I wouldn't worry about it that much.McCaffery was playing hurt too if I remember correctly And Deebo was out with an injury.

Dan Patrick’s evaluation is that Brock had to ”throw people open at Iowa State” where he doesn’t have to with the 49ers. Kinda laughed about that as Dan probably watched about one Iowa State game while Brock was there.It's the difference in perception.
Highly ranked QB: What a great throw into a tight window!
Low ranked QB: Wow, he got away with one there!
But throwing people open is exactly what he is doing when we talk about the YAC everyone seems to want to ding him on. When you are putting the ball in the right place/right time vis-a-vis the defense you create YAC when there might not be any with just an adequate throw.Dan Patrick’s evaluation is that Brock had to ”throw people open at Iowa State” where he doesn’t have to with the 49ers.

Putting $2000 on Purdy to win MVP in July is just insane. Balls.
Yes and no. CMC and Kittle are tackle breaking machines but he does lead his receivers very well.But throwing people open is exactly what he is doing when we talk about the YAC everyone seems to want to ding him on.

Lombardi LOVES Purdy. I'm sure it's very complimentary of him.Nice listen from John Walters and David Lombardi on Purdys career to date and discussion generally about the 9ers. Decent listen if you have the time to kill.

Is it really though? I mean how many times has a qb won it over the past 20 years? you have how many starting qbs in the league and how many on teams with the offensive fire power that purdy has? Might be ballsy but honestly the odds that that individual was getting were darn good comparativelyPutting $2000 on Purdy to win MVP in July is just insane. Balls.
Oh, thank god! I thought I was the only one tearing up.At first I was like, “seriously? That ******* song?” And then I was like, “god, why am I almost tearing up? Get your **** together man!”
It is in the DSM area, per their photographer scouting.I'm guessing that'll be a Iowa wedding but I I'm just 100% guessing,
