George Kittle. Deboo Samuel. And now after a blockbuster trade, Christian McCaffrey. Does San Francisco have the best collection of offensive position players?

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe joined Cattles & Ramie this week to discuss if the team’s skilled position players rank up there with the best. He also shared his thoughts on Tom Brady’s recent struggles, Aaron Rodgers calling out his teammates and the quarterback controversy in New England.

Topics discussed include:

  • Jeff was surprised by the trade for Christian McCaffrey and the package the 49ers sent back
  • Is Tom Brady the reason the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are struggling?
  • Should the Green Bay Packers bench players that aren’t producing, like Aaron Rodgers suggest?
  • Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson’s new teams aren’t playing well. Will this impact how quarterbacks are moved in the offseason going forward?
  • The lack of consistency in New England is the opposite of how Bill Belichick has coached
  • Do the Patriots believe in Mac Jones?
