"It's up to Stidham to be this year's Jeff Hostetler (New York Giants, Super Bowl XXV) or Nick Foles (Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowl LII) and in so doing he'd bring a quartet of 49ers along for the ride. I'll admit to being a skeptic when Denver dropped big money on safety Talanoa Hufanga (three years, maximum of $45 million) and Dre Greenlaw (three years, maximum of $31.5 million)."
"Both players did some exceptional things for the 49ers, but neither was durable. Hufanga had played 17 games his previous two seasons and kept getting injured - a torn ACL here, a torn wrist ligament there and various ankle issues and other ailments. Greenlaw, of course, played only one half of football after rupturing his Achilles running onto the field in Super Bowl LIII in Las Vegas."
Levi's Stadium will host Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 without the 49ers following a 41-6 divisional loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Deommodore Lenoir described seeing Super Bowl signage and said missing the game "hurts." Either the Seahawks or the Rams will represent the NFC West. The Denver Broncos are the AFC's top seed after a 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills and could play at Levi's. The Broncos will rely on Jarrett Stidham in place of Bo Nix. Denver signed former 49ers Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw to multi-year deals despite prior durability concerns and significant injuries.
