Christian McCaffrey is Concerned About the 49ers’ Proximity to an Electrical Substation

49 comments

1. At the rate that our players get injured and the crazy amount of games missed due to injuries, everything should be open to consideration

2. There’s no “if they don’t hit in the draft this year”. This was the exact conversation this time last year. I wish someone in the media that gets to ask John questions in person will see to hold him accountable for the awful draft picks for nearly a decade.

3. the fact this dumb ass substation is even a thing is just plain stupid. its ovb kyle. the team is looking for a scape goat and excuses. where was this in 2023, 2019 and the 80s?

4. Well no one said Christian was particularly smart.

5. bro Maj is hard to listen to

6. He’s speaking out! (Like B.A) trade this guy immediately!!! WE are trading all our players that still have some value left for new players in the draft!

7. Grant and Mr. Cohn said something that is soooo true on their last show. The rams and Seahawks have nucleus from 3-4 years and getting stronger thru the draft. We still hanging on to players from the 2017 nucleus!!!! That nucleus has got to go ASAP. Except for kittle. Everyone else can bounce for a draft pick including Warner and bosa!!

8. Didn't the Niners win a Super Bowl with Steve Young while practicing next to the substation? I guess he was wearing his tinfoil hat 😊

9. The Philadelphia Eagles had to let go, Andy Reid and even though it took the Eagles about 1213 years to win a Super Bowl they did it before Andy did The faster you admit you need to rebuild the faster it will happen

10. They need Scot McCollum!!

11. 49ers should sell to Mark Walter. I'm a spoiled Laker + Dodgers fan, and his willingness to spend is great.

12. Brandon, there was a great plan for a stadium in Hunter's Point, but the Yorks insisted on sticking it to Gavin Newsom (mayor at the time) because he wouldn't roll over on public funding of a billionaire's asset.

13. Video instantly closes when you have this douche in the beanie. Grant I dont know for sure but I would imagine you get a lot less views when you have this dork on.

14. 11:23 i don’t watch Grant that often. Does he usually try to sound black?

15. Krueg was citing your name on recent podcasts as a source raising an interesting issue. Is he on your payroll now or was that the outset of a new pact to mutually hype? See Glen Gary, Glen Ross: "Always be selling!"

    Separately, Kyle has a winning record as coach of the SF 49ers. This he did, even though he doesn't have the right stuff to be head coach. With John Lynch sitting on his knee as puppet, Kyle and John sounded the same messages to Jeb and to fans. Jeb provided all the money K&J needed to start a sugar high in the faithful, and they had some luck in the draft. Super Bowl appearances would seal K&J as an elite football combo. Well, 2023 was a "bump in the road. Next year its the Lombardy Trophy!" Little did the fans realize that the 49ers were playing with words, sounding "Lombardy" but spelling "Lombardi." The good news henceforth poured. No one noticed that something was "bad wrong" with the team initially. Other teams were getting great athletes, but not the 49ers. All over the NFL, great young players were dazzling fans everywhere but SF. As for Kyle, he was showing signs of "going Howard Hughes." He didn't trust new players, whether drafted or undrafted talent. Kyle would not ask if his WRs and TEs could catch the ball in traffic; rather, he wondered if they could block well enough or if they could run all the routes designed for another WR. In short, Kyle wondered if they could keep the many commandments of his system. This concern led him to his offensive plan whenever Brock was QB. It was "CMC, Kittle, JJ, Kyle-Juice, and Purdy." Ninety percent of the 49ers' talent-based, offensive plays involved these players, and fifty percent were often run or pass plays to CMC. Someone such as Kyle-Juice might have only one touch. Newbies such as DRob, BRob, Tonges and KB were involved, along with Ricky, with the other ten percent. CMC alone accounted for the base of this triangle of run-pass contributers. This arguably would be expected, given Kyle's alleged commitment to the run in offense. But how could Kyle be exalted as an offensive visionary if his scheme boiled down to "run CMC?" It is in fact Neanderthal, if not nuts.

    The facts of this matter are founded upon the record. Kyle is a good offensive play designer but an incompetent head coach; John Lynch is a good PR man but an incompetent general manager. The inbreeding of NFL coaches and assistant coaching has made an embarrassing gaggle of increasingly misbegotten people utterly dependent on "family" for understanding and comfort. No wonder Jeb would prefer to stand aloof. It might take a CRISPR procedure to repair the damaged genes. Most people shrug as if seated across the doctor's lobby from Frankenstein's Monster; it's best to say noting.

16. Grant you can do better than this maj dude, buddy is a real life 🤡

17. Idk why people wave-off the electric station shit. When its actually scientifically a thing. If its effecting the team we don't know. But to act like the possibility is just a joke is retarded.

18. I don’t agree with you on most issues @cohnzohn, but with injuries you’re spot on, can’t be bad luck for 9 years. Matt Barrows wrote an excellent article with the data showing the 49ers are the 2nd most injured team in the Shanahan era. Lynch’s answer to injuries was so vague in that final interview made me as disappointed as I felt to the final Niner game. Change something or everything to fix it!!!

19. Electrical Substations can attract earthquakes, as well.

20. Does Brandon even do his research before saying something? Brock Purdy is only 1" and 5lbs smaller than Mahomes. You're going to tell me that 1" and 5lbs is such a big difference that makes him too small? Sounds more like parroting than an actual informed opinion.

21. OK, it is really way past time to stop with this stupid brainless internet theory about the substation. Don't you think the millions of people that have worked in the electric power field over the last 100+ years, guys that have spent 20, 30, or 40+ years working in that environment all day (all over the world). That maybe they would have figured out some side effects by now? A substation that has been there since the team started practicing there in 1988 has all of a sudden in the last decade become a serious issue? Don't you people understand how stupid you sound. MOVE ON, THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH THE STORY. IT ISN'T A STORY AT ALL.

    Should have spent 5 minutes ripping on the comedy of the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy.

22. Maj is right. Make lynch pres of football operations. And hire a hotshot scouting director as GM

23. Big Ashley video

24. The niners drafted mykel Williams aflfred Collins and West that's not drafting the trenches ?

25. The Niners won't win another title until they go back to SAN FRANCISCO.

26. Lynch is a HOFer, great player, great face of the franchise. Doesn’t make him a great GM. Probably took too many hits to the head. He’s made too many mistakes. Kyle is one of the greatest play designers of all time. His system makes average QBs look great. Doesn’t make him a great HC. He’s also made too many mistakes. Both have proven to be mid level managers. The Niners need C-suite leaders. Nothing will change until they are gone. Unfortunately, the Niners are led by Jed who is a very poor leader.

27. You should have had Chase on here. He is the one who started the whole conspiracy.

28. 22:44 Brandon nailed it….. not to mention Brocks best trait of anticipation has regressed

29. News flash – they don’t know how to draft, the team is old, and the Superbowl hopes are dead.

30. The problem with injuries is too many mini camps for your starters and pro bowlers ! Too much lifting ! Older guys wear down !

31. The fact you guys are sweating the substation is so freaking funny. Well sucks to be a 49'er i guess.

32. This analysis is brainless. Brock isn’t even earning 20% of the cap, and the cap is increasing every year. By the final year of his contract, he may be around 16 or 17%. Relative to his play that is nothing. If the 49ers had a few first round picks on the lines and haven’t made the stupid move with Trey Lance, they would’ve had two or three shots at a Super Bowl. That’s the difference right now. We should have a few high draft picks on rookie deals and we don’t.

33. Not buying Kittle. He often downs a package of Oreos and that is a major contributor to excessive inflammation

34. It's easy to take care of. You put up mesh nickel or copper fence and you can paint the facility with a metallic paint . The mesh fence will almost completely stop the emf

35. Jed been a bad owner… they’re lucky they’re this good with this bonehead running things.. move to Santa Clara but keep the stadium that was designed for San Francisco… tf are you doing. That playoff game in Seattle did you see how dope that fucking stadium looked? It shits on our stadium.. embarrassing

36. We can’t fire shanahan at all he’s our mike Tomlin

37. But Lynch get him tf outta here

38. Kyle wit a real GM we have 8 Super bowls

39. Having a professional sports team near an electrical substation is absolutely moronic. If it is in fact harmful good luck proving it, that would just lead into speculation about already highly scrutinized frequencies like 5G. Not going to happen too much money involved… the only smart thing to do is not put yourself in that situation to begin with even as just a basic low IQ precaution.

40. Smart move by Kubiak, I didn't think he would get a head coaching job worth taking tbh. I'm glad as a Seahawks fan it sounds like we've got at least 1 more season with Kubiak, I thought his play calling in both the 49ers games was very solid.

41. well just bring a gauss meter and find out and compare with where seahawks practice

42. Brandan Kyle's the issue.
    Kyle hired him and Kyle has alot of say in the personal.
    Bottom line is It's yr 10 coming up.

43. It's Kyle's philosophy.
    Why is Kyle getting a pass?

44. 31 teams 😅😅😅😅Want Kyle???

45. Maj 9 points in 8 quarters 😅

46. They should have drafted Tyler Warren last draft, instead of Mykel. I said they would really regret not taking him, because they already have Kittle, and they would have needed him sooner than later.

47. We dont even know if Lynch is good or bad at drafting, because Kyle refuses to develop and play his picks.

48. guys its called getting old your players are aging

49. You can tell lynch and coach shanny don't wanna see the players win. Aiyuk leaving because that stupid grass practice field is electrocuting acl's pcl's and frying these dudes brains tf up!
