The 49ers would have beaten the Eagles in the 2023 NFC Championship if Brock Purdy hadn't been injured

I was a huge fan of our game plan. ... I believe that we would've won with Brock. 'cause I think he's such a good player. ... At least it would've been a close game. 'cause that everyone's like, oh, we beat you by 24. I'm like, dude, come on. I didn't have a quarterback for two quarters.

This is a counterfactual historical opinion that can never be proven or disproven.

The Chiefs defense is better than people realize and Steve Spagnuolo will put on a masterclass in the Super Bowl

I think the Chiefs defense is better than people realize. And I think Spags [Steve Spagnuolo] is going to put on a masterclass... Mahomes is Mahomes. And there's just so many things that I just keep going back to like the Chiefs. They've just been there, done that. They know how to win these games.

The Chiefs defense held the high-powered 49ers to 19 points in regulation and 22 total in an OT win. Spagnuolo was widely praised for his game plan.

Kyle Shanahan might not be a 'clutch' coach

I was like, can a coach be clutch? You don't normally hear about coaches being clutch. Maybe Kyle Shanahan's just not clutch.

Shanahan lost another Super Bowl after leading in the fourth quarter and overtime, further fueling this specific narrative.

There will be no doinked field goals or extra points in Super Bowl 58

No fucking doinks. Oh no doinks. We're running it back. I got doinked big time last year and I just realized I'm talking about Moody and even his makes are close to being misses. And also last year it was Butker. But he's a good kicker. There's no chance he double doinks. No chance. So what I'm doing is I'm going to have my vengeance on the doink from last year. And I'm going to double my bet this year and go, no doinks.

There were no doinks in Super Bowl 58.

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.

Tight ends are the most ready-made position to transition into a career in the WWE

I do think that tight ends are the most ready made for the transition into WWE e. Is that, is that gonna be your, your career after football? [Kittle]: You know what, whatever door is open. I'm not saying no to much.

Inherently subjective, though many tight ends have made the jump successfully.

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 49ers went 12-5, won a Wild Card game 23-19 over the Eagles. They bounced back and won football games as Kittle predicted.
