Yeah big comeback games, even when you expect it, are some of the most memorable. The Atlanta meltdown in the SB, the Chiefs game last year, Flynn coming off the bench bringing the packers back from three down against Romo (in the game that spawned the Never go Full Romo meme), and sadly for me McFatass blowing a lead to Seattle a couple years back are all memories that stick with you. Nothing defines a team's mettle more than keeping their shit together and clawing back from a big hole like that. The KC one last year was especially amazing because Houston had such a good defense and KC never lost its focus or swagger.

Kittle got paid

I love it
Kittle, 49ers arrive at the only reasonable solution
Sure, it took a while to arrive at the years, dollars and structure that agent Jack Bechta negotiated with the 49ers, but this was something that had to get done.

That's a lot of money to tie up in a TE. I know he's all world talent, but man that's a lot.

The problem with that view is putting him in the TE bucket. Dude is far more valuable than "just a TE". And in Shanahan's system, he can play all over the place, and block like a tackle if needed.
I am 100% good with that contract. Not that they need me to be or anything, but in the grand scheme of money to hand out this seems like a good one.

I don't think they should make more either personally. IMO you pay your QB and good lineman.

And that number of WR's making more will go up by quite a bit in the next few years.

Pretty much this. And a top tier receiver. Defense, corners and pass rushers.

Well, I thought he should and would get 15 a year, but Kittle got 13. That is still fucking great for a TE. 5 Years, 40 guaranteed, 18 million to sign. Thats rare for the 49ers to structure such a lucrative contract top to bottom, but if anyone deserves, its George.
Now he is getting crispy money, all he has to do is continue to play like the maniac he is and man this should be fun to watch over the next half decade. He is still young too. And like many have said, he is basically an extra offensive lineman. He blocks just as well as a traditional big guard or tackle, the guy is unbelievable, not only that but his down field blocking is top tier. Your getting a TE/OL/WR in one package. Not to mention he has been leading the league in YAC!!!
PFF rated him as the best player in the ENTIRE NFL last year. I think he can get even better.

That's such a huge sum of money tied into a non-QB/pass rusher/LT. I know Kittle is amazing and I'm sure they had to do this but NFL parity is THE big thing. San Fran went from 4-12 to 13-3 but there's no guarantee they won't drop like a rock this year. There's never guarantees but a ton of resources went to one dude. A dude who was even better in the 4-12 season than last year. Just like amazing McCaffrey, one dude doesn't mean shit in the W/L column and I always hate to see teams reset the market especially after the NFL went full blown political.
I'm glad Kittle 'got his' I guess but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see the 9'ers drop back down to average this year. Rams fans say hey!

You can't get sentimental in the NFL, but I think you pay some guys. Kittle besides being amazing on the field is great in the locker room too. He is an inspiration to other guys on the team and makes it fun to be a 49er. In theory yeah, everyone is replaceable with a younger cheaper option, but if a guy is a fundamental part of the heart and soul of your team, you gotta keep that guy around even if it costs you. The 9ers have shown they're willing to cut stars loose for the good of the team (Buckner) but GK is really special and I don't think you let that go.

That's what HE said.
Ba dum biiiish.
The league needs more players like Kittle. I know it is a QB league, but you gotta pay the players people like to watch and are glue guys on your team.
I would pay Kittle. And McCaffrey. Regardless of position.
Thinking of fucking Antonio Brown being paid again? Ridiculous. Get that fucking poisonous cancer out of here. When the league gave Michael Vick a second chance I was disgusted, and I am a life-long Falcon's fan (who never liked Vick anyway, I am not big on running QBs).
