00:00Now, back to Stiney and Guru, on 95.7 The Game.

00:29Mike Tirico, NBC Sports, describing the play where Christian McCaffrey essentially went

00:34down.

00:35He knew something was wrong, second quarter, and uh...

00:39Man.

00:40Was having his best game this year, Stiney.

00:43Every running back was having their best game last night in the snow.

00:46I'm just talking about McCaffrey.

00:47Every running didn't, every running back didn't go out, but just to see him drop like that,

00:51you knew it was like, man, you gotta, and like you started the show, you didn't say

00:55it, but I will.

00:56That game was like a microcosm of their whole season, man.

01:00And we can focus, and we will on offense, but the defense is no better.

01:05But uh, I just want to ask you a question about Brock Purdy.

01:08How much, I'm asking you on the Stiney meter, does your quarterback not being able to be

01:14at his best in conditions, how much does that impact how much you would pay him?

01:20Well it's not just that he struggled in conditions, it's that he hasn't been great when the conditions

01:25are perfect either.

01:26This year, yep, but that's the year that matters.

01:32So Stiney, last year this group was Super Bowl contenders, and this year they're suddenly

01:35Bums.

01:36No, not Bums, but it's a year-to-year league.

01:38Don't say it's a year-to-year league if you don't believe it.

01:41You know what I'm saying?

01:43This team's not the same as last year, they're all a year older.

01:47And I mean, I just made a list, Ayuk, contract, McCaffrey, contract, then injury, Trent Williams,

01:54contract, injury, tragedy, Ricky Pearsall, shot, Travarious Ward, tragedy, Debo, and

02:04Pepper, run-in, Purdy, regression, Warner, broken foot, I mean this thing hasn't gotten

02:11on track at any point this year.

02:14I would add Kyle's play calling to that.

02:17It has to be on there.

02:19Not the coach, just the play calling, to me.

02:23And he became a bad play caller in a year.

02:28I don't know what the answer is to that.

02:30I don't know what the...

02:31One of the reasons that I think they're in this predicament is that nobody's been consistent

02:39offensively on this team.

02:42They've been, other than Kittle, they've been mediocre.

02:47I don't know what you do with Brock Purdy.

02:50I have no idea what you do with Brock Purdy.

02:54But if he needs seven all-pros around him, well then you've got a decision to make about

03:01what you're going to do with him long-term.

03:04But Stani, this is the same cast he's been with since the inception of him being the

03:07starting quarterback.

03:09Right, so is it just fluke that they're losing these games?

03:15If you think it's a fluke and they'll come back next, I don't think so.

03:19All right, I'm with you, but I'll say this to that.

03:24It's not like they're not moving the ball.

03:26And I'm going big picture for the offense.

03:29You've been moving the ball all year.

03:31All of a sudden now it's when you get to the red zone, that's a problem.

03:36And that's why he gets paid to coach all the players up.

03:40He's the leader.

03:41But Stani, if all of a sudden now they can't get it going in the red zone, I don't think

03:47it's too far-fetched to say when you talk about the players being inconsistent and we

03:52get it.

03:53What about his play?

03:54What if they've cottoned up to him?

03:58Because we can't come at George Kittle right now and say...

04:00Well he dropped the pass on third and two.

04:03Exactly.

04:04Right, but he caught a touchdown.

04:05He's been a touchdown machine this season.

04:07He's been a touchdown machine this season.

04:09Why don't they use him more?

04:11That's a Kyle issue.

04:12Because if they use him more in the pass game, they can't run.

04:16Forget running, Stani.

04:17Because they're trying to win games and score points.

04:19Okay, well they don't have a quarterback who can throw it downfield.

04:22They don't have an offensive line that can protect.

04:25Well the answer to all those is, right now you're right, but they did in the past.

04:29Right, but again...

04:30Okay, well then you know what?

04:33Maybe next year we can recreate four years ago with the same players.

04:37Didn't we learn this lesson with the Warriors?

04:39But I feel like you think they just got 20 draft picks and there's a credit card with

04:44no max on it.

04:46It's harder than just...

04:47Well that's what they did.

04:48No, I'm saying to fix it now.

04:51Like Trent Williams is yours.

04:52You messed up!

04:53Well, yeah.

04:54You know, I mean look...

04:56Or you had bad luck, man.

04:58You know, nobody wants to say, like people, I don't...

05:01You think that 52 guys on that team, they have a 53-man roster.

05:08You think all 52 guys just said, well, yeah, just pay McCaffrey and everybody's fine with

05:15it.

05:17Everybody was fine with it.

05:18You think the team knew that McCaffrey wasn't healthy when they signed him to the extension?

05:23I'll bet you they knew.

05:24And I'll bet you the players knew.

05:26And they did it anyway.

05:28And Ayyuk was crying again about...

05:32That's too simple to explain why everybody's not doing their job.

05:35My point is, you know what?

05:39Christian McCaffrey was hurt and they paid him a boatload of money and he's missed the

05:43first eight games and now he's going to miss the rest of the season.

05:46Those are the kind of mistakes you can't overcome.

05:48Okay, gotcha.

05:50You paid Brandon Ayyuk, he got in here, he stung, and now he's hurt.

05:54But they didn't know he was going to get hurt to where he couldn't finish the season.

05:56Exactly.

05:57Well, maybe they should...

05:58I don't even care about the injury.

05:59If Ayyuk were healthy right now, they'd be 5-7.

06:02Well we don't know that.

06:03They lost by...

06:04Yeah.

06:05Okay, so then...

06:06Well, if you're going to say, well, we don't know that, fine.

06:07Then bring everybody back for next year and keep your fingers crossed.

06:13You know?

06:14I mean...

06:15Wow.

06:16It's like nobody's keeping accountability on the players who have all had terrible years.

06:23And okay, you don't like Kyle Shanahan?

06:27Do something about it.

06:28Well, I'll say this to that.

06:29Who at the time of the McCaffrey signing was bucking up saying, you guys are crazy or second

06:34guessing every...

06:35Right.

06:36And this is...

06:37It was the right thing to do.

06:40Or was it?

06:41No, it wasn't.

06:42How can you say that?

06:44What would you have done?

06:45My point is this.

06:46What would you have done?

06:47I said the same thing about the Warriors.

06:48When you get to this...

06:49I'm not asking about the Warriors.

06:50I'm asking you what you would have said to McCaffrey.

06:53You would have paid him, Stiney.

06:54My point is...

06:55Come on, man.

06:56Okay.

06:57And this is what you got.

06:58There were no good decisions.

06:59When Brandon Ayyuk acts like he acts, and he's in a contract year, you either pay him

07:04or you don't.

07:05And guess what?

07:06Neither's good.

07:07Christian McCaffrey, what's a contract extension?

07:10He's hurt.

07:11You either want to pay him or not.

07:13You pay him.

07:14Okay.

07:15Trent Williams makes a fool out of you all offseason.

07:17Well, we can't win without him.

07:19He's Draymond Green.

07:20You can't win with him.

07:21You can't win without him.

07:23So it's a pie where everybody's got their hands in it, and everybody's responsible for

07:29it.

07:30But I'm telling you right now, I guarantee you some of Christian McCaffrey's teammates

07:34are probably saying, well, that was kind of messed up.

07:40I'm just saying.

07:41Yes.

07:42And I already mentioned Trent Williams' tragedy.

07:45Oh, yeah.

07:46Thoughts and prayers.

07:47Let's go to Antonio in Oakland.

07:48What's up, Antonio?

07:49How you doing?

07:50Oh, man.

07:51I'm feeling so damn bad.

07:52I think some of the games, like the ones we lost to the division teams, those were fluky.

08:04But so many injuries, man.

08:06I think Trent Williams and Nick Bosa, they set the tone on both ends of the ball.

08:09And it's like, it's just amazing how bad they look without those two, man.

08:12I mean, Trent Williams, top 10 left tackle ever.

08:14Nick Bosa, DPOI winner.

08:16So they are important.

08:17But, you know, as far as Brock Purdy goes, without him, I mean, I wouldn't give him,

08:21like, a super max.

08:22You know, he better take a pay cut so he can keep this freaking team around him.

08:25Because at the end of the day, every quarterback needs talent around him, to be honest with

08:28you.

08:29But I don't like how it's going, and I don't think we're going to make the playoffs.

08:31But if we do, you know, I'll cheer him on.

08:33But it's looking terrible, man.

08:35Don't blame Shanahan for everything, though.

08:37What's that?

08:38What was the last thing?

08:39Don't blame Shanahan for everything.

08:40Yeah.

08:41No.

08:42When you're 5 and 7, there's enough blame to go around to everybody.

08:46Because the coach is responsible for the team.

08:48Even if, like you said, they've been inconsistent.

08:50You're best players.

08:51I don't argue that.

08:52And I think the play calling hasn't been up to par.

08:55Defensively, you don't have the guys.

08:57And, you know, do you want to spend 20 minutes on the defensive coordinator?

09:03We can, Stiney.

09:04But I don't know.

09:05Now, he doesn't have the pieces, Sorensen, or they're not being creative enough.

09:10But they owned the lines in years past.

09:14That was a Niner staple.

09:16And all of a sudden, Vamoose.

09:20We went into the season, and there were a lot of very smart 49er fans who said,

09:26our offensive line is not very good.

09:29We didn't spend enough time and money on the offensive line.

09:33Right.

09:34Okay.

09:35Their defensive line, they lost hard gray.

09:39Injuries, yeah.

09:40Yeah, okay, injuries.

09:41They're coming back next year, then.
