Chapter 2: Why does Colin Cowherd believe the 49ers will take a step back this season?
Now, we know who everybody's playing, but schedules do matter. You know, when do you face the cluster of good teams? You always want to face a Miami when it's cooler or a Baltimore when it's warmer. You know, you don't want to face Denver early in the altitude. You don't want to go down to Miami in September. It matters. Buffalo, I'd rather play them when it's not a blizzard.
So the San Francisco 49ers is the one schedule that I'm really interested how it plays out because of every schedule this year. Remember last year, Niners had the second or first easiest schedule. This year, they travel 38,000 miles, more than any team, because they play in Australia and Mexico City. And the Niners are in a weird space.
Number one, indisputably, third best roster in their division. That's not an argument. Rams, Seahawks, more good young players in their prime. Number two is they rely heavily, more than any team in the league maybe, on older veteran players to stay healthy. Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Bosa. The other thing is they added more older players.
Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Dre Greenlaw's back from Denver. So now they double down on old guys with injury history. And the other thing is our schedule, again, goes from second easiest in the league, New England, San Francisco, easiest schedules. Now it's a much tougher schedule.
The other thing that worries me, and this is why the schedule matters for the Rams, for the Niners, the Rams and the Seahawks. are very young, hungry rosters. A lot of the Niners stars, they're on their third big contract. The Mike Evans, the Trent Williams, the George Kittles, Fred Warners, they're on their second or their third big contract.
The Rams and the Seahawks have a lot of guys who haven't gotten their first big payday yet. That matters in a sport where you get tackled and you have to play through pain. The Ram roster and the Seahawks roster are young, hungry, with a lot of stars that have not been paid once yet. Big money. Because you make your big money in the NFL in your second and your third contract.
So I can see the Niners completely falling apart. if Christian McCaffrey gets injured, if the schedule is brutal after that injury. Remember, Kyle Shanahan's a great coach, but he has had four losing seasons in San Francisco. And the other thing I worry about then, because the Rams and the Seahawks have drafted consistently much better over the last four or five years.
The Niners have missed on a lot of draft picks. They were also five and one in one score games. That never transcends year to year. Remember when the Chiefs one year were like 11 and 0 in one score games, and then they regressed badly? last year in one-score games. So this is the one team. I want to see what the schedule looks like.
And I also think, and this has been a discussion point around the draft, they have once again had a weird draft with a lot of reaches because they've missed on so many draft picks. They don't have the depth, which is a real problem with an old, brittle, expensive roster. Here's Robert Mays.

champion in 2016, Cavs over the Warriors, 13 years, played with LeBron James. Love having him as a guest. He joined us now live. We've got a lot of different things. We've talked about today, actually, we've probably spent 30% of the show on the LeBron James, reportedly a little miffed with his big moment. He didn't get a game ball for... You're laughing. You've been to his house before.
Do you think... Come on, guys. Like... How much more stuff does the man need to acknowledge that he played good? If he had a game ball for every time he hit 1,000 points, 2, 5, 12, 40, he'd have a whole room full of trophies. He might as well get a storage unit. What does he need that basketball for? I mean, let's be real now. We're just making up stuff. There's enough good basketball to be on.
We don't have to talk about LeBron's feelings. He's in Cancun somewhere chilling right now, so we should be talking about the teams that are playing. the um how do you think they handle his contract though what do you think they do with it you know what i i think for lebron he should be patient he should enjoy this time off with his family um really see what he wants to do going into next year um
I know I said this on road trip and I was like, A.R. and Luke are the worst defensive backward I think you could put together defensively. So I think until you can address those issues, is Luke going to be healthy? Do you trust A.R. enough in the playoffs that he's your guy? And also, who are you going to go get that's better than him?
who are you going to go get that's better than a third option LeBron? And then all of a sudden your two best players go down and that third option turns into the first option. You win a first round series. So, I mean, I think for LeBron, he should just be patient, see what happens with that team. They have some, I think some glaring,
uh holes that they need to adjust even if they think they want to even go for it next year um and he needs to sit down and see what what they're going to do with with austin and how luke is feeling but just be patient if i was him he got options there's a lot of different ways to be a champion we're going through a 1970 run of a different team every year okc is going to be favored to win back to back and that kind of puts them in a different class do you think they're respected their style
You know, SGA is not a vertical player. He's not physical dominate. Do you think they're respected by players in the league? Yeah, or else you're getting you're getting drugged by 50. You got to respect him for to get that belt off on you. I mean, think about every team that's dominated the league. There's always been something wrong, right? Joel Embiid gets MVP. He's foul baiting.
James Harden gets MVP. He's foul baiting. Giannis takes too long on his free throws. I mean, yo, kid, she doesn't really play defense. When you're the MVP, people are going to nitpick your game. SGA is the real deal, and OKC is the real deal, top to bottom. I think the biggest, most dangerous thing that they have is buy-in.
