For one, the 49ers weren't entirely sold on Mahomes. Shanahan had interacted with the quarterback at the NFL Scouting Combine, but the team wasn't certain he'd prove worthy of the second pick in the draft.

"I didn't look into him obviously as much as I should have," Shanahan said Tuesday. "We definitely looked into him, studied all of his tape. Was just a freak, could make any throw, had the ability to do anything. That was a little bit different situation for us. We had the second pick in the draft, did not feel like from all the intel that you get and stuff that he was gonna go that high."

I disagree with this. I get what you're saying here, but the Niners really wouldn't need Mahomes. They've made Jimmy G serviceable and I really think people over-exaggerate how "bad" he is. He came into the dome and lit us up.

The Niners have the more balanced team and more depth in this SB.

K.C. really reminds me of our old Saints teams during Brees' prime. They have a top 3 elite QB, elite WRs and a powerhouse offense, but their defense is average at best and when they're not even average, they're straight up garbage. Ranked 28th against the run. I expect the Niners to beat them to a bloody pulp tomorrow.

Jimmy G is starting to remind me of another Jared Goff. We see how that worked out in L.A. to.

Thats 2 West division or west coast teams knocked out in the SB by the AFC for 2 straight years.

Then neither one is the best QB in their division, go figure.

What happened to the Niners beating the Chiefs to a bloody pulp?
