I agree.The 49ers are built to succeed even with sub par QB play. How?
1. They are committed to running the ball well. WR's have to block if they want to be apart of the offense, same goes for tight ends.
2. This philosophy of having your WR's / TE's set the edge well means any running back off the street can succeed. We dont need to pay a RB 16 mil a season. We block well and any RB with talent will find success. Better yet, imagine what Pollard would do if he played for the 49ers?
3. Defensive line - They are stacked up front and dont need to blitz to get pressure to the QB.
Our offseason plans need to be focused on running the ball well so that our 40 mil QB can find success. We need to be investing in the O-line either via FA or draft, cut Cooper to resign some of the defense back, and get rid of Zeke. I dont care what the cap hit is at this point. The fact he played with torn PCL doesnt show toughness to me but selfishness in fear of losing his job to Pollard.
This sling it all over the field offense is not what wins in this league. Never has, never will.
What worked for us in the 90s, 2014 and 2016 is run, run run and that opens the pass. It makes everyone better. The game is shortened for the defense, the qb is at less risk and has easier reads.
Why we ever got to this point is just baffling.
