Davis Mills went 6/10 for 58 yards, an INT and a TD.

Shanahan and Lynch have bet their jobs on the Lance Project. So worrying about it is fruitless. Two more years before a #1 pick can see the field.

Just wondering because you seen to know exactly what an individuals mindset is while playing. I guess you played just like #50 in the second half, whiffing on blocks because it really doesn’t matter. Why should he try, he’s just going to get cut.
How about trying a little analysis instead of being Kyle’s mind reader. Maybe like Mick’s take on Sermon.
I guess Lance went out there and didn’t care if he threw a bunch of ducks. He’s had a third of Purdy’s snaps since high school but no problem. Just an exhibition so why try?

My point is when I feel conviction I am not bashful about making my case. But I'm also comfortable not drawing conclusions when I don't have enough data to feel confident one way or another.
I don't have enough information to conclude much about the Niners at this point and said why I don't. There's just too many mixed data points and unknowns for me to have any conviction about how the offense will perform at this point, but I do believe the defense should be very good.

Anyone who constantly reminds us of his/her correct predictions while ignoring all the incorrect ones deserves a “Cosell”, an award given periodically to anyone who regularly crows about how right they were while, at the same, burying all their misstatements.
Congrats to one of The Cardboard’s own for winning this prestigious award.

It's just kind of hard for me to wrap my head around people getting bent out of shape because someone doesn't feel they have enough good information to have a conviction about something.
My SO asks me my opinion on things all the time. Whenever she asks me to say what I think is going to happen with something including sports outcomes, and I don't know, I tell her I have no idea. She says "you must have a leaning one way or the other." When I say I don't she hates it. I'm too good at being a devil's advocate and arguing both sides when I don't feel conviction, which makes me even less inclined to make a guess. I don't mind being wrong. I just don't see the point of being forced to make a choice when yer basically flipping a coin. It doesn't betray any knowledge or wisdom when correct, and I can be "held responsible" for being wrong when I never thought I had the answer. I don't "write checks my body can't cash," know and am comfortable with my limitations.
