Re: Precedents for the Legend of Klint Kubiak
I think the connection of Klint Kubiak being Kyle Shannahan 2.0 is pretty questionable. They worked together for 1 year. Kubiak has been a journeyman assistant who has been a lot of places. I believe Kubiak was passing game coordinator for Shannahan. In 2006 John Morton was passing game coordinator for the Saints under Payton during a very successful offensive season. Later, Morton became offensive coordinator of the NY Jets. But John Morton was not Sean Payton 2.0. They did not exactly get the Sean Payton offense. Maybe we will get an SF-like offense but who knows. Maybe we will get a poor mans Gary Kubiak offense with our own expensive Matt Schaub.
One question about an SF-like offense is that all that blocking and physicality could lead to injuries. Before McCaffery's luck streak, basically all SF starting RB had an injury every season. Deebo Samuel has had an injury every season. Garappalo had an injury every season. Purdy is 50/50 on ending seasons with injury. Kittle is on and off the field with injury constantly and his effectiveness varies greatly. I could be wrong, but if Kubiak was capable of implementing an SF-like offense here, it could be good to have lots of youth and depth and not tons of money committed to existing talent because we understand who can stay healthy in that type of offense. So like, annointing Hill and Carr as perfect fits for the offense and giving Kamara a big extension assuming success in the offense, that could be a big risk. Keeping draft picks, not trading up and maintaining a quantity of picks, and retaining young players like Shaheed, that could be smart.
