And I said Kyle was my top choice of coaches who were available, but I didn't like any of them all that much. "Choke artist" was harsh, but Peyton Manning was a choke artist; it didn't mean he can't win. He can win w/ a smart GM who has some vision, but the Niners don't have that.
The only coaching candidates I've really liked in recent memory were Pete Carroll (I was calling for the Niners to hire him when Mooch was still around), Jim Harbaugh, Dan Quinn, Andy Reid (not as a GM) & some college coaches who haven't made the jump yet.
Do you have any evidence to support that our current GM doesn't have a vision ?
Of course I don't. This is called a prediction. This is where I see Lynch taking the team based on what I think he's going to do. Just like I don't have any evidence that I think a draft pick is gonna be good or bad before he plays a single down, we're going to have to wait & see for this one as well. If I'm wrong, I'll come here & eat a buffet of crow. If I'm right, I'll be right.
If Cousins signs a long-term deal with the Redskins, that would change my entire outlook; and I'm rooting for that to happen.
I'm coming around to your thinking, Sick...dang CHI scooped us and snagged Trubs wiht his 1 season of experience and then CHI also forced us to take an extra 3rd and 4th rd picks. Definitely, Lynch got his pocket picked based on those events. Also, i am delighted Trubs ended up CHI. He will fit in well there, and become your typical CHI QB. Sure a shame we didn't get in on that action. We are without a FR QB. CHI now has theirs minus their 3rd and 4th rd picks.
Being serious for a second, i would have been sick if we had taken him with our #2 pick in the draft. For awhile i thot he might be the guy, but after seeing almost all his tape, (and a good bit of that after the draft), i am sure glad he is putting on the Bears uniform....and not ours. A young, untested and untried GM manufactured that trade. If somehow Trubs becomes the next joe montana, well good for him. Not holding my breath tho. And kudos to lynch for making the deal. It was one of the best non picks we ever have made. I'm thinking back about AJ, Rashuan Woods, Drunkenmiller, etc. All #1 picks we never should have made. This isn't in THAT category, but same idea. Pretty hard to finally have a #2 pick in the draft and pass on the inadequate FR QB talent. But it was the right thing to do. It was a great non-pick .
