    I posted something here a couple of hours ago. I am not sure why we have constant problems here. But I’m losing my patience. What’s the rule? Don’t post two links at the same time? Don’t link anything? I’m getting tired of this.

    The simplest solution is to make you an admin, which gives you access to fixing it when it happens. It’s not that hard to fix it when you know how. The problem is I am not always here 24/7. So if we make you an admin, if a post gets “pended,” a few seconds later, it’s fixed. You game?

    From the vid — …with all the talent, (Kittle, Purdy, Shannahan, Deebo, Aiyuk, etc) the 49ers had, they went 0 and 3 without Trent Williams. 12 and 2 with him. With him they scored 32 points a game. Without him 17 points a game. Both Kimes and her guest agreed Williams had a serious claim to being the NFL MVP. w v

    Top Secret Update from my incognito position, deep in the heart of 49er territory: On the flagship radio station this morning, there is some serious concern. Trent Williams is the glue, decidedly. They broke down all the other OL on the 9ers, and apart from Williams, the belief is that the OL is resembling the OL that Russell Wilson suffered behind in Seattle. While they value Aiyuk, and want him back, they don’t think his absence sinks the season. They do think that no Trent Williams = Lost Season. Here’s the situation: Williams has no guaranteed money on his contract. Unlike Aiyuk, Williams is not making a scene. He’s in Texas. He’s told the 49ers that that is where he will be until he gets a new deal. No fanfare. Nothing. But the way Williams sees it, he’s the best LOT in the NFL, and he should be paid that way. The wrinkle is that the 49ers are going to have to give Purdy $60m/year at the end of this season, and Williams – with no guaranteed money – is an easy cut because ALL of his money would be freed up. No cap hit. So that’s his position, and not surprisingly, he doesn’t find that situation acceptable. Signing Williams is going to cost some other guys on the roster, though (next year). Bottom line is that the window is closing on this group, and a rebuild around Purdy is on the way. And they have a shaky OL heading into this season. For those of you who don’t know much about football, shaky OLs are not helpful.

    I don’t think that Purdy is going to get that kind of money. He has great numbers because he’s a decent QB benefitting from Shannahan’s brilliance and the elite talent around him. But Purdy himself isn’t elite. He’s a coached-up Case Keenum. He isn’t worth top shelf QB money.

    What do you think now?
