Yep it’s quite known its been around since Levi’s came into all our fucking lives – RIP the Stick.
A non click bait actual fact based article that doesnt attempt to drive a narrative?
I…dont know what to do with my hands.
I always get downvoted to oblivion when I voice my dislike for Harbaugh, but I blame him for this injury curse on the Niners. When Alex Smith got injured circa 2012 and Kap took his place, Harbaugh decided to keep Kap as the starter even after Smith was recovered. You don’t replace a starting player like that. That was bad karma, and what caused the curse to the team.
Sure the Niners made it to the super bowl that season, but they lost it then and they’ve lost every SB appearance since. The Niners need to figure out a way to lift the Harbaugh Curse before so that they can get back on track.
The data is from 2013 to 2021. This is not going to work because it’s possible that the Shanahan years from 2017 to 2021 are carrying the total up. We need to isolate the years and compare pre/post Shanahan
Even then we also have to control for leaguewide injury trends.
The math isn’t hard to do, but this article doesn’t do any of it. It simply links a tweet with a graph. I wouldn’t mind doing the math myself but I don’t have the actual data. Anyone have access to it?
the 2011 defense suffered no injuries to the starting players. An all time historic defense. they didn’t win a SB because of bitchass Kyle Williams. since that season we’ve had nothing but injuries and we didn’t even get a SB for all the luck we traded in 😭
It’s the air in Santa Clara.
Is it possible that Candlestick *and* Levi’s were both built on Native American burial grounds?
I’m old enough to remember the hopium that Chip Kelley’s magic elixers would help our injury problem
It’d be nice if they provided actual details about the data. The numbers for the 2020’s except for 2023 are probably a lot of higher than the 2010’s. The four seasons before Kyle’s regime were tame compared to what we’ve been seeing in the 2020’s.
But it doesn’t predate the shitshow that is Levi’s Stadium
Guys, if you rearrange the letters in Levis Stadium it spells EVIL ADMITS US.
It’s the training staff that Kyle Shanahan has in place, everyone likes to say he has replaced the staff, but that isn’t true.
JFA 49ers has a podcast on YouTube episode 255, explains everything, soft tissue non contact injuries have been something like 25% higher since 2017, literally everything comes down it’s either the surface they play on, or the the training staff, and the practice field is one of the best in the league.
I still remember Crabtree’s Achilles injury from 2013 as clear as day. And Bowman and Willis also got injured in 2014 (Bowman was still recovering from an ACL and MCL tear that season). And then Bowman, in 2016, suffered another season-ending injury on his Achilles after week 4. Of course the injury woes have been going on with this team long before Shanahan took over
It’s more of a Levi’s problem than a Shanahan problem
WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE LOGO BACK!
This would carry a lot more weight if several former players from Shanahan’s tenure hadn’t claimed he ran harder practices than their other teams by far.
Anybody who has watched the Niners for the last decade plus knows that lol.
lol literally any time we have a good season, key players get major injuries. Swear we be having like “ the best team since” blazae blazae every time too.
