ProJackets Update

It appears he is the #3 back, Mitchell was hurt some this season and Mason was then the #2 back. As long as he is on his rookie contract with the Niners he will be on the team. Once it becomes time for a 2nd contract he becomes at risk as do most rookies who are not major contributors. The NFL Salary Cap pretty much dictates all teams fill out special teams and backups with very inexpensive players contracts.

Yeah, running back is an odd position in the pros... there are a handful of stars but that second contract seems really hard to get. Teams seem content to draft cheaper ones

In a way I Hope Mason doesn't get that extension (though I bet he does). I think that with a new team *cough* the Falcons *cough* he would have a good chance to start. It would require team with a downhill running game, but there are plenty of NFL teams like that these days.

Buuuut … the Niners like him and he'll be relatively cheap. We'll see.

Campbells decisions not to take the field goal up 14 was a major part in the the momentum shift as well. Take the points!

It's like I always say …

RB are so plentiful, and their shelf-life so short, that teams treat them like rentals.

Not a bad way to top off a rookie season. Gibbs!

Butker with another ring and now the Super Bowl FG distance record

 

[A Love Supreme]

Butker going to the hall of fame. No doubt.

 

[stinger78]

Butker hits a SB record long FG to tie the game, plus another to force OT, kicking 4/4 FG plus an XP for 13 points. The former mutt makes like his 15th catch of the season makes a wide open catch at the GL and he’s the hero of the game.

What funny is moody (49rs) had just set the record earlier with his 55 yard FG and Butker took it from him 30 minutes later with a 57 yarder

A linedrive at that.That’s a strong leg right there now.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

We used to wonder why they still call it “Football” but the kicking game was critical to the outcome of this game, including two record field goals and a missed extra point.

It's weird to think back and remember thinking "dude, butker is legit pretty good. He could maybe be a pro I'm watching here"

Turns out I was watching a guy who was arguably on track to be the second best kicker who ever lived, and you're right, on a path to be a surefire Hall of famer

Agree, exceptions include McCafferty who led the NFL in rushing, and Robinson for the Falcons is a stud.

All the mutts are foaming at the mouth over Micole getting the game winning catch on my Facebook feed. Had to remind them who scored 13 points and won the Superbowl last year!

That last TD could have been caught by any WR/RB/TE/OL on the team. He was open based only on the play design.

From a Hoo perspective your 1st best kicker being Scott Sisson…..Amirite?

 

[FightWinDrink]

This is without giving us any credit for Gibbs btw. Butker had 41 points alone. Gibbs had 3 TDs
