Jim Harbaugh is 44-19-1 with a Super Bowl appearance as a NFL head coach and I believe three NFC Championship game appearances. He's a great coach. He just hasn't ever one the big one. Andy Reid-esque.

Dennis Allen has never beat a winning team with its #1 QB starting. We should not get too excited that he finally got 2 losing teams and a team without its starting qb in a row and eeked out close wins. Maybe he is ok but ok does not make him Payton or Harbaugh.

We beat Atlanta twice by a combined total of 4 points. They cleared $124 million more cap space than we did for 2023 while winning 1 less game than us, actually a better record than us outside those head to head games. If we don’t rebuild, I fear $124 million can buy 4 points.
You're talking past, I'm talking future.

I'd rather spend money chasing a Superbowl than finish 8-9 with $50MM in unused cap space.

Nobody in the South scares me at this point and we can only go up if we just get/stay heathy and improve our 3rd Down and Red Zone efficiency. We have some solid young talent. I really think we can make some noise in 2023.

We are struggling to finish 8-9 with $50MM over the cap for next year. Your scenario is imaginery. We wont be competing for any Lombardi trophies next year after losing even more players to the cap, watching aging stars grow a year older, and having no first round pick. We beat the Falcons by a combined 4 points. They can afford to add players like Lamar Jackson. Do you not think Lamar Jackson can score 4 points?

Due to our cap situation we have lost more key pieces than we have added in free agency for the last few seasons and our cap situation is the same this year. Every team will make additions but how do you expect our additions will push us ahead of other teams additions if we have the least cap space in the league and among the fewest draft picks?

Last week we barely beat Gardner Minshew. All we were missing was Peat who misses time every year, Thomas who has missed 40 of 50 games, and Maye who May be suspended next year. Next year these guys will be a year older. Kamara will probably be supended. We have lots of injuries next year and its obvious we will have lots next year because its many of the same injury prone misfits and free agent bargain bin players. The only way to reduce injuries is to accept a year of rebuild and use it to cut the injury prone guys like peat and thomas.

We struggled with injuries - at an historic level, even! Not one, but TWO years in a row.

You can't evaluate the team and not even mention it...
