timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 1hInterestingly, the NFL Fall Owners Meeting is scheduled for Oct. 20-21 in New York. I imagine that played a part in the timing of the suspension. (Though I'm sure the NFL will deny it.) 020
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 1hWeek 7 the 49ers are at Atlanta. Week 8 is their bye. First home game after the suspension is Week 9 vs. the Raiders, Sunday Nov. 8. 020
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 1hThe suspension will go through the Week 6 game Monday Oct. 19 vs. Washington. That's well before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. I think the 49ers were prepared for York to be suspended through that period, but he'll be back. 111

timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 23h49ers likely will need to do much more week-to-week maneuvering at this position the rest of the season. And yes, there will be more injuries. But the moves today give them more flexibility. 060
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 23hTiming of these moves would suggest that: -49ers aren't counting on Evans playing Sunday -Cooks' promotion opens a practice-squad spot for Turner, who they'll need as an elevation for special teams to replace Hodge -WRs vs. DEN likely to be Deebo, Cowing, Watkins, Cooks & Turner 090

timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Meanwhile Burton played all but 2 minutes in the first half and Chen only played those 2 minutes when Burton was out (and was -8). But somebody's gotta guard Ogunbowale. And things changed a bit for Gabby Williams once Alysha Clark (+11) started guarding her. 160

timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Buckers played the entire first quarter and back on the floor to start the second. Comparatively, Gabby Williams rested for the last 3 minutes of the first and is now back in. 040
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Bueckers might have to play 40 minutes tonight 050
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's possible that Purdy will slump immediately and maybe for the rest of his career -- for whatever reason. It's happened to others. Absolutely possible. If that happens, I'll sure say so. But not until and if it happens. 160
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026For those who rightly point out Garoppolo's 49ers stats were good, too: Go to QBR, which I don't use much but still look to. -Garoppolo QBR in 49ers seasons when he played 10+ games: 60.8 / 59.2 / 56.3 -Purdy QBR 67.4 / 73.4 / 64.8 / 72.8 / 92.3 this year BP's worst QBR is better than JG's best. 282
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don't think I'm cherry-picking stats just to favor Purdy. Trying to be contextual. Yes, he hasn't faced the toughest schedule so far. Getting tougher now. But the Purdy critics REALLY cherry-pick stats. And there will be much more cherry-picking. I'll try to avoid it. 1100
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I say all this with the 49ers about to play DEN + SEA -- both currently top-5 defenses at limiting opponent passer ratings. Purdy's rating is likely to go down. He might struggle against those defenses. I'll note it. (Also, he might not struggle. He tends to not struggle.) 091
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Stats Guys who can't accept that Purdy is a very good QB headed toward great have to reject all stats and say it's only because of Shanahan. But Purdy's the guy Shanahan wants. It's not because he's bad. I'm not saying Purdy's #1 or 2. But he ain't worse than 4/5. And heading up. 4130
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If the maligning of Purdy now is, well, the numbers will go down as he gets older... nope, that is not at all the typical career path for good QBs. -Stafford's best career rating was last year, age-38 season -Prescott currently is at his highest rating in his age-33 season 0100
timkawakami.bsky.social @timkawakami.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Purdy's direct contemporaries are Trevor Lawrence (who is a few months older than Purdy) and Jordan Love (13 months older). Purdy career rating: 105.7 Love career rating: 95.8 Lawrence career rating: 87.0 080
