The San Francisco 49ers have been on a quest to win the sixth Super Bowl title in franchise history for 28 years. They’ve come close recently, reaching a Super Bowl and two NFC championship games over the last four seasons. Over the last few seasons there have been one consistent question, how long the 49ers Super Bowl window will be open? The answer is simple, as long as Kyle Shanahan…

The 49ers have a long and storied history. Since 1979, they have reached the playoffs 24 times, won 17 NFC West championships, played in 16 NFC Championship games, and played in seven Super Bowls, winning five. Over that time, the team has employed a total of 10 head coaches. Kyle Shanahan makes the list. Take a look at the list for where he ranks and why. 5.) Steve Mariucci After…

Brock Purdy’s surgery to repair the torn UCL in his throwing elbow has been delayed. As a result, the only “healthy” quarterback on the 49ers roster is Trey Lance. And that’s stretching it considering Lance has yet to be cleared to return to full activity. Expect San Francisco to add a quarterback or two when free agency kicks off next month. The legal tampering period begins March 13 with players…

Brock Purdy will not undergo surgery on his right elbow as planned. Purdy tore the UCL in his throwing elbow on the 49ers first possession of the NFC championship game against Philadelphia on January 29. According to Tom Peliserro of NFL Network, Purdy met with Texas Rangers team physician Keith Meister on Tuesday as scheduled. Meister recommended postponing the surgery due to continued inflammation. The parties will get back together…

Disclaimer: I have no idea if the 49ers will re-sign sign any of these players. The 49ers currently have roughly $8 million in cap space available and 27 players set to become free agents. Don’t let that cap number fool you. At this point last offseason San Francisco was $5 million over the cap and were able to build arguably the deepest roster in the NFL. The NFL salary cap…

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback room could not stay healthy in 2022. Kyle Shanahan’s team fought through injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo during the regular season to reach the playoffs. In the NFC championship game, an injury to Brock Purdy on the first series finally ended their hopes of reaching the Super Bowl. Quarterback injuries are nothing new for the 49ers. Kyle Shanahan has lost at least one…

The reports were accurate. During a podcast last offseason, Mike Silver and Colin Cowherd discussed how they’d heard about 49ers quarterback Trey Lance suffered from arm fatigue during his rookie season. Thursday morning Lance joined quarterback coach Quincy Avery for an interview. Lance has worked with Avery in the offseason dating back to 2020 when COVID wiped out his final season at North Dakota State. The issue of arm fatigue…

For the second consecutive season the 49ers were one step away from reaching the Super Bowl. As we enter the offseason oddsmakers are putting San Francisco among the favorites to be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy next February in Las Vegas. After watching Kansas City come back from a ten point deficit to defeat Philadelphia 38-35 on Sunday, I like the 49ers odds as well. The 49ers already have a roster…

The “People’s Tight End” has spoken. Since the final gun ended the 49ers season in Philadelphia the conversation has been which quarterback will lead the team in 2023, Trey Lance or Brock Purdy. George Kittle joined Von Miller for The Von Cast on Thursday morning at the Super Bowl. Miller asked the 49ers tight end if Purdy is the future of the 49ers. “Trey Lance is still there. Trey unfortunately…

The timeline of Brock Purdy’s impending UCL surgery came into focus on Wednesday morning. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Purdy will meet with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on February 21 and plans to have surgery to repair his torn UCL on February 22. Meister is the team doctor of the Texas Rangers. The expectation is Purdy will make a full recovery and be ready for training camp….

The 49ers got their man. According to Tom Peliserro of NFL Network, Wilks is set to become the next defensive coordinator for San Francisco. Wilks will replace DeMeco Ryans. Ryans became the new head coach for the Houston Texans last week after two successful seasons coordinating the Niners defense. A leader of men, Wilks has shown the ability to inspire and motivate his players. This past season saw Wilks named…

 With the San Francisco 49ers season now over, the focus becomes how the team can improve for 2023. Over the coming days and weeks there will be plenty of discussion about the big names who should be signed in free agency and which positions should be targeted in the draft. The 49ers are currently $11.2 million under the 2023 salary cap which is expected to be $236.2 million. San Francisco’s…

The 49ers magical 12-game win streak came to a crunching conclusion against Philadelphia in the NFC championship game. With the season behind us it is time to hand out ten awards for the 2022 season. 1.) Most Valuable Player Award: Nick Bosa Nick Bosa finished with a league leading 18.5 sacks. He didn’t get much help as the rest of the defense was unable to record more than five sacks….

  Everybody likes to point out when they are right, I’m no different. As the 49ers pick up the pieces from a season which fell short of expectations, I thought now would be a good time to show where I missed as well. Prior to the season I gave five bold predictions for the 2022 season. Let’s see how I did: 1.) Jeff Wilson Jr. will lead the 49ers in…

John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan met with the media Wednesday afternoon for their end of year press conference. San Francisco’s quarterback situation dominated the discussion. Here is what the 49ers general manager and head coach had to say about the health of their two young quarterbacks and their expectations heading into the offseason. We spoke to QB Brock Purdy yesterday and he mentioned getting some more images done yesterday afternoon….

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Unfortunately for the San Francisco 49ers, the quote of former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson was proven true during their 31-7 blowout NFC championship game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Philadelphia’s prowess at getting after opposing quarterbacks was a point of discussion throughout the week leading up to the game. On one end of the Eagles defense…

The 49ers never had a chance in their 31-7 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Losing Brock Purdy just six plays in and having to rely on Josh Johnson was a bridge too far for a team which had already overcome the loss of its top two quarterbacks earlier in the season. It’s easy to point to the ineptitude of the offense under Johnson to absolve Kyle Shanahan of the loss….

For the second consecutive year the San Francisco 49ers season came to an end one step short of the Super Bowl. A 31-7 blowout loss sending them into an offseason which will be full of questions, particularly at the quarterback position. The game was over almost as soon as it began. Brock Purdy was forced to the sideline with an elbow injury at the end of San Francisco’s first possession…

The San Francisco 49ers season came to an end on Sunday with a 31-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Here are my ten takeaways from the loss: 1.) Throw the challenge flag! Kyle Shanahan said postgame that he was going to challenge the 29-yard catch by DeVonta Smith, which allowed Philadelphia to convert on fourth and three, but he didn’t see an angle to…
