Injuries and inconsistent play all season so far. This has the makings of a window-closing moment for SB aspirations.
Contractually as well, one of Deebo/Aiyuk won't be back in 2025. It was basically going to be Deebo, but with an ACL to Aiyuk, how good will he be in the 1st season back from that? (Which is why he pushed to get a long term deal. If this was just his 5th year option, he'd only get a 1/2 year deal at much less).
Trent/Kittle another year old and Kittle plays very physical. CMC, what is going on with him.
When the SF offence doesn't click early, don't see Purdy battling through it. Which is a concern. Also for Shanahan, not being able to come back from 8 down. Feeling those lost draft capital for Lance now. It's the 2 extra 1sts and 3rd since if he fell, SF would have drafted him vs trade up for him and used up a 1st.
