anybody else would've gotten laughed out of the NFL.

I still feel like the biggest story here is how bad the FO handled everything, beginning with the trade, yet the team is still better today than it was then. Schefter touched lightly on the issue, but it's a HUGE testament to how well this team was built.

Let's be realer: finding a good QB in the 7th round should get a GM an 'Employee of the Month' award.

Luckily for lymch and kyle they have a great roster and keep going to nfc championship games

That is like saying someone who won the lottery is smart for buying the ticket. It was sheer luck.

Not the best analogy there, Y2R. They scouted Brock and selected him. Yes they got lucky that Brock ended up playing so well, but the front office did scout and select him when no other team thought to select him.

Most teams could not absorb a busted pick like that, considering what was given up. It would appear the 49ers are defying logic, to a degree. At least for now.

The point is that Purdy hasn't proven to be a long-term answer yet and your argument doesn't hold against the pure facts of 3 wasted 1st round picks which very well could've meant winning a trophy if invested somewhere else (somewhere like pass protection...).
