If the 49ers had Matthew Stafford, they would be prohibitive Super Bowl favorites

If you had Matt Stafford on the Niners, I think they would be prohibitive Super Bowl favorites because there are definitely some times you're like, Hey Jimmy, just the offense is so great, you have so many weapons. Just hit the guy who's wide open.

This is a subjective hypothetical comparing Garoppolo's efficiency to Stafford's talent within Shanahan's system.

Kyle Shanahan owns Sean McVay as a coach

It was a Kyle Shanahan masterclass. [Shanahan] owns Sean McVay. Obviously not the NFC Championship game, but I think it's now nine and three against the spread, Kyle Shanahan versus Sean McVay.

Historically, Shanahan has maintained a significant regular-season advantage over McVay, though the 2021 NFC Championship game remains a major outlier in the rivalry.

Pete Carroll is having more fun with Geno Smith than he did with Russell Wilson

I actually think that Pete Carroll's having more fun with Geno Smith as his quarterback. It's a combination of like, okay, weirdo Russ isn't around so I don't have to worry about placating him all the time... If I win a game with Geno Smith, that's pretty cool. If I lose, who really cares.

While subjective, the Seahawks' 2022 season was widely considered a 'fun' success where Carroll and Geno Smith appeared rejuvenated.

From a purely passer perspective, the Lions won the Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford trade

It's time to ask like who really won that trade Cat? The Rams or the Lions. ... Just from a purely passer perspective. [Big Cat: I'd want Jared Goff.]

While Stafford won the Super Bowl immediately, Goff went on to have a highly productive career in Detroit, making this a legitimate debate long-term.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

Subjective comparison.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.
