00:00The Niners have to break through and win this year or next.
00:02Oh, the clock is ticking on them.
00:04What is their window? Is it a year or two?
00:06Yeah.
00:07Something like that?
00:08Is Purdy up after this year?
00:09But it's not even about Brock Purdy.
00:10No, but I'm just asking.
00:11Debo Samuel breaking down, Kittle breaking down,
00:14McCaffrey might already be broken.
00:16They're hurt all the time.
00:17They just paid a crap ton of money to Brandon Aiyuk.
00:19So what is the Niners' window?
00:20I think we need to answer that question before you can say
00:22who you'd rather be long-term.
00:24If you think the Niners have a five-year window,
00:26well then it's the Niners.
00:27But if you think, and I do,
00:29the Niners have a year or two and they need to break through
00:31and they're on the clock and the window's closing,
00:33well then I'd rather be the Patriots.
00:35I would rather be the Patriots who, in five years,
00:37you have a franchise quarterback.
00:39In ten years, you have a franchise quarterback.
00:41Hopefully, I would rather be the Patriots in that scenario.
00:44So right now, Sunday, of course you'd rather be the Niners.
00:47For all of this year, you'd rather be the Niners.
00:49But longer term, going forward,
00:51who's in a healthier position?
00:52Who is hopefully on the upswing
00:54compared to who is already peaked
00:56and maybe on the downswing?
00:58That's greater than Niners in that scenario.
01:00Right now, they are four NFC Championship games
01:04in the last five years.
01:05We'll see how this season goes.
01:07They're off to a one-and-two start.
01:09But Trent Williams, who they signed
01:11and was a holdout,
01:12and he is the anchor of that offensive line,
01:14he is 36 years old.
01:18How much longer is he going to be?
01:20Even still, we're getting names on defense.
01:24Fred Warner and Nick Bosa.
01:25Those guys are already starting to break down a little bit.
01:27I got to double-check Warner.
01:28I thought he's had some injuries too.
01:30It feels like their window is closing.
01:32It's not closed.
01:33They better win this year or next.
01:35Or else they're going to have to do
01:37what the Patriots did and reset.
