Sam LaPorta or Brock Bowers will be the next tight ends to earn over $20 million per year

Hopefully it's something that Sam LaPorta will cross next year. Down LaPorta and then you got Brock [Bowers] in a couple years. Yeah, there's a, there's a lot of guys that need to get paid... hopefully the next guy's getting over 20 million.

Outcome depends on future contract negotiations for LaPorta (2026/27) and Bowers.

The 49ers will bounce back and win some football games in 2025 after their 'season from hell'

I feel like we brought most of our offense back and we should be able to score points because we basically went entire season without Christian McCaffrey... now that he's back, pair him with myself, Kyle Juszczyk, Jauan Jennings, Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall... Williams is still pretty good too. I think we're gonna win some football games and it's gonna be pretty fun.

The 2025 NFL season has not occurred.

A Christian McCaffrey touchdown is the surest bet in all of sports

I think the surest bet in all of sports is Christian McCaffrey touchdown. He just scores every time no matter what... in our offense, you can see that in the seven years that I've been here is when we get to the red zone, we're gonna run the ball and try to run the ball in. And then you throw Christian into it, and it's like, okay, well we're gonna design a play for Deebo to score. You could be the second read, George, you're gonna be here. And then fourth read one-on-one versus their Mike linebacker is gonna be Christian McCaffrey. Oh, that's an easy tolo it in there.

McCaffrey scored the 49ers' only offensive touchdown of regulation in Super Bowl 58.

Trent Williams is the best football player in the NFL

In my opinion, he's [Trent Williams] the best football player in the NFL. Like it's him, Aaron Donald, and I like Nick Bosa is pretty close. Mahomes is up there. But like I think Trent Williams is like by far on a playing field by himself.

While Mahomes won the Super Bowl and Donald remained elite, Williams was named First-Team All-Pro and is widely considered the best at his position, making this a highly defensible subjective take.

Brock Purdy actually is a guy and is more than just a system quarterback

Brock Purdy actually is a guy. Honestly, his first game, Jimmy gets hurt, he comes in and Miami just started to zero blitz us five straight times. To be able to step up in a pocket knowing that you're about to get hit by a blitzing Mike linebacker — that takes some balls. He's got a lot of intangibles... there's certain things you can't really coach.

Purdy finished 4th in MVP voting and led the Niners to the Super Bowl in the 2023 season, effectively ending the debate about whether he was a starting-caliber QB.

Iowa will average 15 points per game on offense this season

I think we're [Iowa] gonna score, we're gonna average like 15 a game. Out of the 12 games we're gonna have at least 6 pick sixes, some punt blocks, and that's why we're gonna get over 15. It is — no, I will say though, we do have a quarterback that can move.

The Iowa Hawkeyes offense was historically stagnant in 2023, averaging exactly 15.4 points per game. Kittle nailed the figure almost perfectly.

Sam LaPorta is the best tight end in the 2023 draft class

I think LaPorta is the best tight end in the draft class. I think the Lions got a complete steal. I liked the other tight ends too, but I spent two weeks training with Sam LaPorta and the way he moves — he's got the dog in him. He's kind of quirky, kind of goofy too, he's gonna fit in well.

LaPorta had the greatest rookie season ever for a tight end, setting the record for receptions (86) and finishing as an All-Pro and Pro Bowler. He was far and away the best TE in the class.

Every Super Bowl-winning team has an elite tight end

If you look at like the last or ever, how many Superbowl winning teams, every team has had like a really, really talented Titan on their team.

The vast majority of recent SB winners had Gronkowski, Kelce, Ertz, or Davis. It's a very strong trend.

Super Bowl winning teams always have a talented tight end, so the position should be paid more.

If you look at the last year, 10 Super Bowls, I think every team that's won has had a very, very talented tight end. So, like, it has to do with winning Super Bowls. So, I mean, I think that's the most important thing, so you might as well pay the tight ends.

The recent winners (Chiefs, Bucs, Eagles, Patriots) all featured elite TEs like Kelce, Gronkowski, and Ertz.

I vomit before every single NFL game as part of my routine

As soon as we come back in from warmups, I go puke... I always think I'm like, all right, I'm going to step faster now. And that's my positive mindset.

I actually prefer blocking to catching the ball

I like blocking a lot like my favorite thing... when it's play call is like, all right, you're just going to go just throw some people out of the club. You're like fuck. Yes. Let's go.

This is a statement of personal preference from an elite athlete about his craft.

Jimmy Garoppolo's chin line will lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl win

Jimmy [Garoppolo] I think is one of the strongest chin lines in the NFL and with that, you know that chin line it's going to, you know, definitely let us know Super Bowl this year.

The 49ers lost Super Bowl LIV to the Kansas City Chiefs 31-20.

I am one of many number one tight ends in the NFL

Man, I think there's a lot of number one tight ends right now... I'm going to keep going now. It's working for me so far... [Who's the best?] Gronk and Tony.

Kyle Shanahan's offensive installs are outrageous

Every install meeting that [Shanahan] does is absolutely outrageous... he explains it so fast. He'll go through 60 plays in about 15 minutes and then you guys got all that, and we're out on the field practicing.

Shanahan's complexity and offensive success are widely documented by players and analysts.

Pancaking a defender is better than catching a touchdown

If you can take a defensive end and bend him over backwards and put his back on the turf, that's one of the greatest feelings of all time.

This is a subjective preference of the athlete.
