OTOH, Kolohe, I rather like the fact that our HC or GM aren't out on the stage telling everybody what we ARE or AREN'T doing. I hated it when Harbaw or his GM took every opportunity to grab the mic and tell fans what their plans were. Much prefer the scuttlebutt that "Brady might still come here", rather than have Kyle state that just to calm everybody's nerves down.
We all know that neither kyle nor JL let anyone in on what they are planning, and it is by far the best way to go. If another team wonders if we are taking a shot at a qB in rd 4, it is to our detriment if we really are thinking that. Much better to have all sorts of "theories" our there about what 9ers are planning, rather than for KS or JL to actually tell the world. Kyle just isn't built that way and JL isn't either.
The original signing of KS and JL was carried out with the utmost secrecy…and that is what's best for the 9ers. It is nobody's business what our F O plans, and we do way better when no one on any other team knows anything about our plans….whether is it signing a player or not doing so. Let the other teams guess.
