Do you think our Stanford grad understands the dangers of growing too fast?

I think our F/O is aware of both the salary cap and successful business models when it comes to growth. Grabbing big named players out of the blue is not how this team was built. I think the salary cap is really going to come into play next year especially if we have to over pay Brock.

We have a lot of super star talent on this roster, if things don't work out I don't think we look at Lynch and the roster as the problem.

correct.

Aging roster with ballooning contracts.

I am fine with it.

That said KC has figured something out that SF needs to model.

There is nothing to figure out. They have a HOF QB, the best HC/offensive mind in all of football and one of the best DCs in all of football. Not to mention they have a very good FO. You can't just model that.

Jimmy Garoppolo

Who would have helped this year? There wasn't anyone that was traded that would have put this team over IMO. We didn't need to spend millions on a 9 game rental just to appease some fans. We got a good team in place, just need to play better. Period.

You can't tell me a combination of Azeez Ojulari and Davon Godchaux wouldn't have helped, if you did I'd have to call you biased. And the players that were traded, you can or can't say that Lynch was interested in them. Then again, no doubt Za'Darius Smith would've helped!!!

Yet neither of the first 2 were traded though, we have to wait & see what happens with Khalil Davis, remember Kocurek gets the best out of these guys, look at Okyuainonu and how well he's played, I never heard of him till last yr when we signed him late in playoffs to the PS, he has a bright future with us IMO. As for Za'Darius, we didn't have a fifth rounder his year to trade, sure we could have traded a 4th, maybe we tried but CLE(I think he was a Brown) said no, we won't know TBH who we may have gotten, or could have gotten, this team is talented, need to pray Dre comes back ASAP, same with Feliciano, maybe get Hargrave back in playoffs if he can go.

Like I said, he asked which players would have helped this year. I know that both players weren't traded, but my point was if Lynch wants a player he gets them. It was a time to get better and go all in before Purdy's contract. But I was expecting more from Lynch at the trade deadline, I love Greenlaw but I think it's too early to depend on him coming back and playing like his old self. Beal and Floyd aren't really getting it done, sure Yetur Gross-Matos is coming back but he's not looking like the answer opposite of Bosa either.

Oh well moving on past the trade deadline, I do expect to read and hear reports how the 49ers almost had this player or that player. Always the case.

You know what, cancel that I forgot about the signings of Tashaun Gipson and Russell Gage, two players who I think could really help if healthy. I rescind my comment that Lynch didn't do much at the trade deadline.

Khalil Davis
Russell Gage
Tashaun Gipson

look much better than just Khalil Davis.
