2 quarters of a game is more accurate.

sucks, cause he's pretty good when he's on the field.

200 snaps for the season. The guy just can't stay healthy

I wouldn't mind that,... Feliciano was a top10 Guard while playing with us,... Idk in which form he's atm but one thing I know for sure is that Burford is pure trash,... so any help at LG would be greatly welcomed

Burford was injured until week 9 and since he returned:

- Week9 against the NY Giants.
"Burford was San Francisco's lowest-graded offensive lineman (55.8), earning a 59.4 run-blocking grade and a 36.9 pass-blocking grade—both the lowest among the group. He also surrendered a sack."

- Week 10 against Rams.
"The worst-graded offensive lineman from the game was Spencer Burford, who started at left guard. Burford earned a 52.8 offensive grade over his 35 snaps."
In these 35 snaps (more or less half the 63 snaps the offense played) he surrendered 3 pressures (so at this pace he would have surrendered 6 if he had played the whole game)

-Week 11 against Cards.
"Left guard Spencer Burford earned the team's worst pass-blocking grade (53.2) and the game's worst run-blocking grade (28.7)."
For a record setting total grade of an ashtonishing 29,4 which was by far the worst of the whole team that game

-Week 12 against Panthers.
well, for a change he had a good game against the panthers earning a 81,0 PFF grade (77.5 run-blocking, 77.1 pass-blocking). The whole OL was vastly superior to tha panthers' DL and all the linemen except Brendel had a good game earning a higher grade than Burford.

-Week 13 against Browns.
"Left guard Spencer Burford was the 49ers' lowest-graded offensive lineman (51.1)."
Apart from that he surendered 4 pressures in 46 snaps (he would have surrendered something like 6 pressures if he had played the whole 67 offensive snaps of the game)

so, now that Bartch is out for the season

Wow that's an ugly review…but I think Colby was even worse.

Good point - where is Colby now? Meaning, why isn't he being re-inserted? The coaches must see something different than just the PFF grades

I wouldn't say he was worse,... he was a rookie in his firsts games in the NFL and obviously he had his slumps,... but he had also some decent games, mainly by the end of his short stint as starter (6 games),... and the main difference with Burford is that Colby was improving,... Burford is now in his 4th year and he has not improve, not going to improve
Colby in his 6 starts surrendered 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 pressures in weeks 3 to 8,... and having both far better grades in run blocking than in pass protection, Colby's overall grdes were slightly better,... and were improving

I would prefer to have Colby on the field,... and now Bartch is out for the season I think they should give him some of the LG snaps

and, as I said, I wouldn't mind some help and that of Feliciano (if in some sort of form) could be a good one atm

Death, taxes...Ben Bartch ending the season on IR

Too bad he couldn't stay healthy. He was decent when he could play.

No loss.

Defintely a sign, imo, that Kyle and John are finally focusing on rebuilding the offensive line. That's the second one they have let walk, right? Burford and now Bartch? Plus, TW remains unsigned. That's a lot of beef no longer on the roster.

Sorry he got injured, he looked ok otherwise. Good luck to him.

Watch him become an all pro lol
