True about first vs last. Also true that the whiners will likely be a problem as they always are. If the Rams have good health, they will win a lot of games. I hope they make the playoffs and get at least one home game. And, have an actually HFA at that game. There’s a long way to go between now and then. A lot can happen.

Also we cant possible start slow and expect to make it up at the end. Hopefully we dont get the injury bug and we can start min 4-3 but hope for 5-2. The division wont be won early but it can be lost. Tons of division games the final 6 weeks.

Yeah, we can't predict injuries. These days its hard for a team to have a deep roster. A few key injuries can derail a whole season.

And yes, the 49ers do have a 3 game advantage in the schedule. We have Philly they have NY Giants. We have Detroit they have Chicago. We have Baltimore they have Cleveland.

Doesn't mean we'll lose all three and they'll win all 3. We will have a much tougher route to the division title. But we're also a better team. Time will tell how much that makes a difference.

That also goes for the opponents on the schedule. 49ers could end up with a tougher schedule than the Rams!

Either way, to quote Yogi Berra (sorta), nobody knows nothin.

After locking up star quarterback Brock Purdy with a massive new deal, the San Francisco 49ers rewarded another key player on the other side of the ball.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 49ers signed star linebacker Fred Warner to a three-year, $63 million contract extension on Monday that includes over $56 million in guaranteed money, making him the NFL’s highest-paid linebacker. His previous deal was set to expire at the end of the 2026 season.

Jennifer Lee Chan had reported on Sunday that the 49ers were "very close to finalizing a multiyear contract extension" with Warner that "likely will make the All-Pro the highest-paid inside linebacker in the NFL."

This continues a busy offseason in San Francisco. The team signed Purdy to a five-year, $265 million deal that includes $181 million in overall guaranteed money on May 16. Also, the 49ers signed star tight end George Kittle to a four-year, $76.4 million extension that made him the highest-paid tight end in the league.

Warner has been one of San Francisco's best defensive players since he arrived in the league as a third-round pick in the 2018 draft. He's recorded over 100 tackles in each of his seven years in the NFL, earning four Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro first-team honors four times.

In 2024, Warner was one of the lone bright spots in a disappointing season for the 49ers, as he produced 131 total tackles, a sack, four forced fumbles, seven passes defended and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. San Francisco finished with a 6-11 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

By signing Warner to Monday's extension, the 49ers are ensuring that one of the most consistent defensive players in the NFL will continue to lead them as they try to earn their first Super Bowl title since 1994.

Hard to imagine the Rams ever paying an ILB that much but what if Pooh is the next Fred Warner? Still hard to imagine...

How much does Huff add to their defense? He had a career year with 10 sacks for the Jets in 2023. The other 4 seasons he totaled 8 sacks. With 3.5 his highest total before the 10 sack season. Last year he had 2.5 sacks in 12 games. And one stuff at or behind the line of scrimmage. If their fans think he's the answer opposite Bosa they might be a tad disappointed.

Eagles trading Huff is a clear admission that he was a bust but he had a good year for Saleh so i could see Niners being pumped...

WHAT?!?!?!?!? You mean the Eagles had a bad signing? Perish the thought. Hopefully he sucks for the whiners too.
