They've definitely been above average, but make no mistake about it, they have benefited from having top 5 picks, and they've added talented players by going all-in and trading picks.

I'm not saying they will 100% be dead forever Billay, but at some point, they're going to have to rebuild/reload.

You're giving them way too much credit. I bet you would've said the same shit about the Eagles after last year's SB, and they had a better roster and more assets.

:harumph: So they let their DC guy go after losing the Super Bowl, and this was the plan? Go after Merritt weeks later?
I hope the Chiefs can keep him

49ers DC candidate trashed the team's Super Bowl performance during a radio appearance

During an appearance last week on “Sports Shop,” a North Carolina-based sports radio show, the Kansas City coach and the hosts discussed San Francisco’s decision to fire defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. While he speculated that the move was for the best because of some underlying season-long tension with the team — he even said Wilks probably sees this as a “blessing” — he also said that Wilks shouldn’t be held responsible for the Super Bowl loss, and that there’s plenty of blame to go toward the offense.

“If you want to talk about the game, their offense went 3-for-12 on third down,” Merritt said. “Our offense went 9-for-19, but if your offense is going 3-for-12 on third down, is that Wilks’ fault? If your tight end who’s All-Pro, [George] Kittle, only has one catch for 4 yards, is that Wilks’ fault?... And then No. 11, who was trying to fight all game — Ako, I don’t know — he only had 40-something yards, was that Wilks’ fault?”

I don't think we need to be worried.

Sam Madison would be a logical replacement if Merritt leaves for SF.

That’s awesome!

Per the Rooney Rule, the 49ers have to interview at least two minority candidates. Not to imply Merritt isn't deserving, but it seems similar to the situation they just got out of with Wilks, in that they'd be bringing in an outside guy to run their system. I bet they promote someone internally.

It felt like an ambush on the chiefs was brewing. Good thing it was nothing burgers.

I think the media just craves any football related news because it's the only sport that matters.

That would be a lateral move. The Dolphins ain't letting him out that easily.

He's a free agent now as it was just announced the dolphins are switching up their defensive staff after Fangio left.

Just fulfilling the Rooney rule. Nothing to worry about here. He'll be back this next year.

I really and truly hope so.
