NOOOO JERRY, they feed on the disrespect!

This is a dumb post. Romo is a 10 year vet. Wtf did breess do? Humiliated twice in the playoffs. What did Peyton do? It is about the damn game plan and players making plays including the qb.

You mention romo when our qb has demolished his postseason performances. I don't get posts like this.

Kaep is always held accountable are you kidding? The guy gets a lot of blame and sometimes too much.

Are you serious with this reply? I agree that the play calling has been horrible, but you can only pin blame on the coaching staff to an extent. Kaep cannot even throw the ball effectively to his receivers consistently, Watch Kaep's game and don't use that Romo is a ten year vet card with me. Kaep's game has regressed ever since he lead this team to the Superbowl in his debut year. He is clearly not putting in the work to be revered as one of best young QB s in the game. The way you came at me feels as if you're a family member of his. Last name moments when Kaep's game has been criticized, besides his off the field activities? I'll wait.

blah blah blah same tired talking points. A bunch of regurgitated crap with 0 factual data. You sh1t on Kaep then use Romo as an example? What has Romo done? Why is a QB in his 2nd full year being compared to a 10 year vet? That's why I can't talk to you. Compare Kaep to his contemporaries. Compare him to Luck, RG3, Cam, Russ, Bradford, Locker, etc.

With all of that said, Kaep's playoff performances are light years ahead of Romo's.... And lulz at 10 years in the league not "counting". Kaep needs experience. Reading defenses, not staring down receivers, sliding in the pocket, etc. All of that will improve with experience.

He needs to improve his accuracy. The other shyt is due to a lack of experience. Romo was worse yesterday BTW.

i just realized this is romans first year calling and designing pass plays

Making a change at OC this late isn't without precedence. The Ravens did it after Week 14.

If it's going to happen, now would be the time to do it with 10 days between games.

What perplexes me is that management will get rid of a player quick if they think there somebody else on the roster that can do the job better. Harbaugh has no loyalty to any player. This loyalty to Roman is gonna sink the season (if it hasn't already).

there is a precedence but unfortunately, firing roman wouldn't solve anything. this isn't close to a situation like the ravens in 2012. firing roman won't make the OL run/pass block any better, won't make kaep play better, won't make crabtree stop dropping passes, won't make vernon actually show up, etc

this offense is broken and has had trouble scoring going all the way back to preseason. sure it was only preseason but it turned out to be a sign of things to come. it's a problem that won't be fixed anytime soon with or without roman

The weirdest thing I'm seeing is the lack of heart from the O. Like, when we make mistakes, everyone just kinda looks around and walks off the field. Then we come out with the same dead energy in the next series, and it just snowballs from there. No one looks like they're fighting for shyt. I was watching some VD highlights from the past couple seasons and the dude was actively fighting for yards, same with Crab and Boone and others. We all know VD has something going on, but it's spread to the entire O from what I can tell. Brady, Rogers, Peyton, Rivers, Brees, Luck, and Stafford all get aggro when shyt goes wrong, but I don't see that from Kap. I mean, maybe the O doesn't want to play for Roman or there's something behind the scenes going on in the O locker room.

As I said before, our issue isn't personnel, we have the dudes to get the job done. In my opinion it has to do with how little the guys seem to want it. The guys on D want it, and you can tell by how hype they get. But the O is dead as fukk.

 

[Jmare007]

Oh the lack of heart is the 2nd thing that pisses me the most next to the zero identity and adjusting from the offense.


Very interesting take by Barrows on our offense. He blames Harbaugh and thinks the office has the perfect excuse to let him go.

SANTA CLARA -- Parting ways with a coach with a .716 winning percentage and one year left on his contract always was going to be a tough sell for Jed York and the 49ers.

Jim Harbaugh is making it easier.

The issue between Harbaugh and the 49ers front office has long been viewed -- from the outside, at least -- as a clash of personalities, which to fans is a flimsy reason for getting rid of a successful head coach. Now the front office can point to practical and unassailable Harbaugh shortcoming if he's let go: He's in charge of the 49ers offense and the offense stinks.

Sure, firing coordinator Greg Roman would be an easy option and would satisfy the blood-lust of the fans base. And it might even appear effective with the one-win Raiders next on the schedule.

But it's hard to see how dumping Roman with four games remaining would make any meaningful difference. Roman certainly is the most prominent piece of the offensive staff, but he's just a piece. Receivers coach John Morton has a loud voice when it comes to the 49ers' passing attack; offensive line coach Mike Solari holds big sway in the running game.

Roman calls the plays from the coaching booth, but they go through Harbaugh on the sideline. (Theoretically, he has the ability to change play calls he doesn't like, but it's unclear how often that happens.)

In the end, Harbaugh built the system, assembled the coaching pieces, picked the quarterback and trained the quarterback. Roman makes a convenient fall guy. But the ultimate responsibility lies with Harbaugh.

The offensive staff also includes – but is in no way limited to -- quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst, running backs coach Tom Rathman and tight ends coach Eric Mangini, a two-time former head coach with a defensive background who was brought in to add his two cents to the offense.

The 49ers have a huge and expensive offensive staff. Including Harbaugh and entry-level assistants, they have 12 coaches on offense, which currently ranks 23rd in the NFL but is sure to slip after this week's slate of games. By contrast they have six coaches on their No. 3-ranked defense with coordinator Vic Fangio doubling as the outside linebackers coach.

The problem is that the sprawling offensive staff has created a complex and byzantine offensive system.

The 49ers are bad on offense not because of one individual but because so many different individuals have a say. It's like asking a dozen people to make one omelet. Too many cooks spoil the dish and too many assistants stop the offense.

The 49ers system has an abundance of moving parts and no real identity.

They began the recent Seahawks contest in a typical fashion. On first down, two tight ends, including blocker Garrett Celek, were in the game, and Frank Gore Gore gained seven yards on the ground. On the next play, Celek ran off the field, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd entered and the 49ers lined up three wideouts to one side of the formation.

All the substitutions and personnel packages are designed to keep defenses off balance. But too often it has that very effect on the 49ers offense, which has had trouble finding -- and moreover, sustaining -- anything resembling a rhythm this season.

The 49ers struggle with sacks (they trail only Jacksonville in sacks allowed), penalties and clock-management issues. They confuse themselves, which should not be happening after nearly four years in the same offense.

Harbaugh and his staff don't need to work harder to get their offensive system on track, they need to do less. They should aspire to simpler, more cohesive concepts. That will lead to flow, which leads to momentum

And they need to do it quickly. Reaching the playoffs for a fourth straight season probably requires a sweep -- including something that today seems impossible, beating the Seahawks in Seattle -- over the last four games.

If not, it's doubtful Harbaugh gets another chance with the 49ers. And it won't be as tough to sell as everyone predicted.

12 coaches on offense Completely forgot about Mangini. That's gotta be one of the most useless signings in a while.


I still think we should try to keep Harbs. But fukk, if he refuses to simplify things and let some people go, then yeah, 'deavor him
Fangio also in charge of the OLBs. DON'T LET THAT MAN GO !!

I didn't even know this...

This article makes perfect sense. There's too much going on in the offensive coaches room. This is why we have no cohesion or consistency on offense, too many cooks spoiling the damn broth.

I think we should try and keep Harbs as well, but yeah, that's ultimately his responsibility

I hope that's the change Jed York is talking about, strip this damn O coaching staff down to essentials and keep the whole operation clean

As I said before, our season isn't over yet, but we need to get this shyt popping immediately

we also have to realize this is romans first year calling pass plays

Paul Wulff called and designed pass plays and left this past offseason

Offense has never been very good to start for Roman. A lot of us have been complaining about playcalling since last season (and even before). The fact that he couldn't handle calling pass plays says a lot too.

The whole system is fukked. 12 coaches for an offense like ours is inexcusable. There should be more heads rolling than just Roman, but I still want that dude gone.

 

[Heretic]

The problem as I see it is that Roman just seems to be pointing at a sheet and calling random plays. He doesn't let Kap be Kap, usually when kap uses his legs it's bc he has too, whatever happened to the option threat? He too often forgets about Gore. We have no intermediate passing game, don't utilize screens, we don't adjust, and we too often abandon what works. I try to find positives but I honestly can't think of any. We have all of these receivers and run the longest developing most god-awful plays. Granted Kap makes some throws at times but like Thursday for example, u adjust, help him out. Call plays to get the ball out quicker.. With receivers like crabs and boldin we should be killing teams with slants but instead we send them deep all the time or run some long developing plays where Kap be out there with linemen damn near in his lap.

 

[yseJ]

roman is just a part of the system, which I think what barrows is trying to say. hes right imo. whole offensive system needs a reboot. if that means harbaugh has to go, oh well.

the defense masked the deficiency of the offense for so long, Im not sure wtf would our record be this year if D was bottom 10 D in the league. like 2-10 ?

 

[FakeNews]

Do you think Patrick Willis, Vernon Davis, or Michael Crabtree will be back next year? (Evie Rodriguez-Sanchez)
One of the three is a safe bet to return. The others face uncertain futures.

Patrick Willis believes he has “five or six more great years of football” remaining in his career. That’s why he opted for season-ending toe surgery nearly three weeks ago. Willis was playing at a high level before he exited the lineup for good.

Willis is everything a team wants – on and off the field, during the season and in the offseason, too. He is scheduled to earn $8.315 million in pay next season. If Willis is not worth that amount, then who is?

Vernon Davis, like Willis, is under contract for next season. In the final year of his deal, he is scheduled to make $4.95 million. That is likely too much for a player who turns 31 in January and will be coming off his least-productive season since his rookie year.

That could leave the 49ers with Derek Carrier as a receiving threat and Vance McDonald as a blocking specialist. They can also use the draft to bolster their collection of tight ends.

Crabtree is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent. He is a good receiver, but he is not an elite receiver. How much will another team be willing to spend on him on the open market? It seems it will be more than what the 49ers might be willing to offer.

If Crabtree does not return, that would leave the 49ers with Anquan Boldin, Stevie Johnson, Bruce Ellington, Quinton Patton and, perhaps, an explosive draft pick to handle the receiving chores next season.
