OK, this 49ers fumble brings up a good point...even the 4th string QB is supposedly one of the best in the world. I understand why it leads to something like a significantly lower completion % or more sacks or more interceptions, but it never made sense to me why such a player wouldn't even be able to catch a snap consistently. 🤷‍♂️

That's the weird part...this particular one wasn't forced. One of the best football players in the world just couldn't catch a snap...very strange, at the NFL level, not sure what "4th string" has to do with catching a snap.
Nerves.

Question for Eagle fans ? Do you like the way NS rotates our running backs ?
I’m a Washington fan and will defer to the die hard Eagles fans here but I think Boston Scott is the more decisive and powerful runner. I just like his running style better but it’s a good “problem” to have -Scott or Sanders? ;)

Gainwell feels like the hot hand right now. All three have strengths. I think that’s part of NS’ rotation strategy.

it's okay to be a Niners fan, but you're losing your credibility with statements like that
I can understand (not agree with) his point of view, even though overstated. Emotions tend to take over. Just think of what this board would be like if a similar sequence of calls went against Penn State. I'm sure many, including myself, would be livid. Lafayette is by and large a very rational poster.

Be careful my friend.

I looked away from the catch, but everything I’ve seen says it should have been ruled incomplete. Begs the question: on 4th down there’s a 20-yard pass called complete inside the 10 and by the receiver’s reaction it’s iffy. Maybe someone can convince me that Shanahan should get a pass for not challenging. You got to be on the absolute top of your game.
