The Cardinals had over 300 games lost due to injury, which was by far the largest in the NFL. And the Niners had a far more experienced roster to fall back on with their injuries. The Cardinals had depth, but VERY young and inexperienced depth. Stupid to compare how injuries impacted these two teams. Niners are a team that just reloads every year now. Cardinals were still rebuilding from a complete tear down in 2023.
If anybody is interested, I had chat GPT break down a comparison between the Cardinals and 49ers injuries. It seems the Cardinals had 300 or more games missed due to injuries while the 49ers were at 254. Both very high in the league. The issue is the 49ers had better depth because most of their big injuries were to some starters, however, the Cardinals had starters and backups missing significant time so they were on 3rd and 4th level players.

Of course you did, because it didn’t fit your incorrect narrative.
Yes, ChatGPT probably said we were a Joey Blount and LJ Collier injury away from consistent success
Facts like Blount was seeing “valuable time in the secondary in 2024” when he played a total of 20 SNAPS? Come
Nice. Good to have relatives on the staff.
How many games did it cost us?
Yeah it wasn't the nicest of neighborhoods.
Since I am stupid, your words, you can ignore this.
bringing back so many failed coaches and training staff only lends more credence to the fact that there's a good likelihood that Bidwill nickle and dimed the prospective DC's as we're continuing to just save money by letting the worst of the worst members of the coaching/training staff come back, for reasons that are beyond comprehension.
What caught my eye was that the 49ers had their starting RB for the entire season and we were down to 4th string. That is why I'm hoping we draft Love, even if a RT is a bigger need.
I swear buddy was on the staff list as an consultant last year and not the training list and they had more trainers too. Whoops.
nope, Buddy was in the same role. Although he in not much more than a figurehead at this point.
The facts say otherwise. The Cardinals had a top 10 pass defense in the NFL (some say top 5) the last 11 games of the year. Starling Thomas started each and every one of them. SMB actually starting showing up in a very strong way the last 4-5 games. I could go on but you get my point.
Yeah. Great post. You’re right. The captain of our Special Teams doesn’t matter at all. That’s why they made him captain. The other 84 games missed by starters didn’t matter either. Epstein hung himself too and must’ve done it out of guilt. Brett Farve was a great human being but had a noodle arm. If only Steve Nash could’ve learned to pass the ball, he’d of made one heck of a player.
Have there been more reports? I've only seen the one about Gus Bradley.
There have?
