Pros and Cons after the 49ers game.

I'm still concerned about the OL as a group. I think it's safe to say we would have had a lot more difficulty with Bosa and Hargrave out there.

LG and RT are the biggest concerns, LT appears to be in a better place than it was last year.

I also have my concerns about Carr's ability to succeed in this offense even if the OL is serviceable. I posted about his issues with timing in the offseason, and I think the sideline pass to Wilson is another example. While the pass ended up behind Wilson, I think it was a problem of timing more than accuracy. Carr finishes his drop and waits until Wilson's break to throw the ball. If he throws the same pass at the completion of his drop, we likely move the chains.

I thought the offensive line played better as a unit, well as expected with the additions made to surround incumbents (Ruiz, McCoy and Penning). I thought Patrick held up nicely and Limeaux (sp?) will be a good backup G/C., and the UDFA rookie Heigel (sp?) may be in the mix and we must not forget about Salvedori (sp?) I think the exterior can be a solid unit its the tackles spot outside of LT that draw concern especially who is back up tackles will be.

I think your Carr analyst is a little off or bias as judging a pass that was not perfectly timed can be made about any QB/WR connection on any team, Carr has not had the kind of career where your hoping he gets it this time around., this is a guy who threw for 3800 yards 25 TD's and 8 interceptions on an offensive that lacked creativity and he was able to play within it while finding rhythm with his new teammates.
