Who seem more likely to get hurt than finesse not-100%-effort-all-the-time guys. The 49ers will take the hard-charging guys and live with it, though they don't describe it that way.

But anybody likely to get hurt in an intense practice is VERY likely to get hurt in a game. And intense practices usually lead to high intensity in games. Which is the goal.

It's just that the 49ers fill the locker room with players who usually push to play as quickly and as often as possible. It's a sign of commitment. 49ers treasure the mindset. Often really helps a team. Sometimes leads to recklessness and worse injuries.

Goes for players they target in free agency & the draft, too. Sometimes they're right.

Does the read-and-throw-accurately stuff and the scramble-and-don't-lose-it stuff. Goes up and down week to week, but generally good in both, FYI.

QBR helps, too. For instance, I saw Baker Mayfield had a 98.8 Wk 1 rating and thought, what the hell, he was terrible. Well yeah: 3 lost fumbles. 27 QBR, 3rd worst in the league.16 Sep 2026 15:40 +0000at://did:plc:hmewghhuzvb4q62l6sceobdk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvnhyeisps2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/timkawakami.bsky.social/post/3mvm4n3ip6c25The Giants will not lose 100 games this year.
