I dare say there were a few league champions who had Gore that year. He might’ve helped people get there, but he didn’t help anyone win it.

The 49ers should be thinking they need to limit the touches off all their runningbacks to keep them healthy. I think Mitchell starts and Sermon splits time with him pretty evenly. It would be a bad look to say, "oh you decided to try hard in practice this week? Ok, we'll give you all the carries now." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sermon was ahead of Mitchell all preseason, from my understanding it was only because of Sermon missing curfue, or similar for why he was not active week 1. It was not related to performance. Both Mitchell and Hasty did an awful job blocking. I cannot find the article now but the both allowed QB hits/sacks on the few times they were asked to block. Shanahan is a d1ck and it is impossible to tell what he will do from one week to the next. Don't get me wrong, it could be the Mitchell show, however i would not be shocked if it was not. You cannot tell with the information we have. He can(and did) bench a young up and coming first round draft pick WR randomly, because that is how shanahan rolls.

MTSkiBum 1,587 Posted September 17, 2021 With Josh Jacobs ruled out i am starting Trey Sermon this week as my RB #3 in a 14 team dynasty. I hope I am right about Shanahan. I have Singletary as well, but I would rather go with Sermon's upside. I have the much better team, ie defending champ and playing against a team that is clearly rebuilding and trying for the #1 overall pick. I will win regardless, i am playing for high points.

Mitchell was told days in advance he was the #2. When did Sermon supposedly miss curfew? Shanahan said that Eli beat him out. Keep in mind Eli was hurt for a good chunk of preseason.

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 18, 2021 Such a giveaway. Shanny is so pulling everyone's leg. If he truly believe Trey sucked he wouldn't let him run with the first team all training camp/preseason. If he truly believe Trey was 4th on the pecking order, he wouldn't even bother answering the questions the way he did. Typical motivation antics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
