A move that cost this franchise at least 1 Super Bowl.
You can't fix stupid
So we got an lol and a you can't fix stupid. Either of you care to elaborate or would you rather just talk s**t?
We signed Collins for that exact reason. We also have Davis. We also drafted a 6'3 350 lb NT.
Look s**t up instead of talking dumb
A. Zero idea wtf you're talking about
B. Mods, how would you respond to this?
Well, to start with is the comment of the guy who states categorically that trading up and drafting Lance cost the team at least 1 Super Bowl. Don't know how he concludes that. The other QB's who we could have drafted that year have all busted. Who would have been heaving the rock to power us to multiple SB's? No idea. Had he included the word "maybe" in the sentence it would have appeared a little more dogmatic and somewhat less challenging.
So several posters responded. Then another poster commented as to how the team had addressed the issues and suggested that you could have done the research yourself.
Not sure why you don't know what he is talking about. I haven't gone back into the thread but it is perfectly obvious to me. How do I respond as a mod? Well, there is something of an unspoken agreement that at the most emotional times, game day, drafts etc, we tend to be a trifle more patient and understanding with posters. Up to a point, anyway. I might have gently asked them to be a trifle kinder to other posters.
On the subject, some posters appear out of nowhere and flame the team, the coaches, the draft, the zone and even other posters on occasions. Then they get all upset when others react. We try to accommodate different views here but this place remains a place for 49ers fans to talk. If you walk into a bar and start sounding off at the locals, chances are people will react. It would be sensible if you are an utterly negative minded supporter of the team to let people get to know you before bringing your tidal wave of misery here.
I'm not going to comment on the Mod thing, but as far as the comment, as you state English, the other 3 QBs from the 2021 draft class busted out also, and all got traded, so the only really good QB in that draft was Trevor Lawrence, I'll admit I was happy we drafted Trey Lance at the time, I didn't want anything to do with Mac Jones, reminded me too much of a younger Garoppolo, Justin Fields I was wary of due to being an Ohio State QB, while the other Zach Wilson went 2, I have no real opinion on him, except he seems to be a bit cocky at times, defensive from what I've seen from interviews from him with the media.
As for the whole we lost at least 1 SB, no one knows that, because none of the other QBs drafted in 2021 would have led us to a SB, and if we did stick put at 12 I believe, even if we drafted someone like Micah Parsons, and then had the 2022 & 2023 1st round picks, who's to say they would have worked out, or who's to say we even make a trade for Christian McCaffrey, no one knows what would have happened, despite what some who think they do know. Lynch isn't the only one to draft a bust, especially at QB, Belichick drafted Mac Jones, look at his draft record, it's not that great or as good as the media pundits make it out to be, it's why I never liked the idea of a HC also being the GM making the moves, it should be a HC & a GM who collaborate on who they'll take, sign, trade for, plus you have your scouts, & position coaches, & coordinators who likely have some say in the process.
Even if we did draft Parsons, he likely isn't an EDGE for us, he was more of an off-ball LB if I recall, and just moved full time to EDGE for the Cowboys, plus does anyone think we could afford both Bosa's deal, & then Parsons new deal he wants? Answer is NO, they can't afford another $34M+ a yr EDGE, if they did that, then you're shedding the roster of a lot of guys, it wouldn't just be guys who I don't see coming back, it's guys they've already signed or extended, they, as I said, may have not made the trade for CMC.
But these are my opinions, and that's what it all is, just opinions, no one knows for sure what would have happened.
