Doesn't work that way, B.A can veto a trade simply by refusing to sign a long term deal with the "loser" team we want to trade him to. If we tell he and his agent to go find a trade of their liking and he chooses the Chiefs, now what????
We can act like B.A is a Camaro or a sub-par player, but remember we don't even get to the Super Bowl without him. The responses on this board proves this if we think he is good enough to be traded for a high 1st round pick or a future H.O.F'er straight up.
What we need to do is sign him.
And who diminished him? I said he's top 5 by virtue of him being All Pro but what I'm saying is on this team we have mouths to feed and the meal is great but if he doesn't fork over a bit of money he's going to have to dine elsewhere like anyone else
We cant keep winning then pay all 53 more than everyone else. This ain't the Eddie days. We have to have some players willing to take the Tom Brady route and if not we will make the best moves for self just as we did with Deforest Buckner
And how did that work out for us?
Making the playoffs is not the goal. we are not the Jacksonville Jaguars.
We are the 5 time Super Bowl Champion 49ers.
I know some people think we are the 0-3 Santa Clara 49ers, but that's not true. We have standards that a lot of the new faithful might not understand.
I have seen every one of our superbowls, and honestly, I think it's you that might be needing to adjust your expectations. Superbowl or bust in today's NFL is just setting yourself up for disappointment. The NFL is not like it was back when we were winning them. In today's NFL you just want to get to the playoffs as high a seed as you can get, and have a chance to compete for the title.
Not a single team I can think past or present that has had as many opportunities to cash in for a championship in the last 14 years and come up short every single time.
Have you ever heard of a team from Buffalo, called the Bills....?
Last I checked the Bills super losses happened in a 4 year span, not 14.
But I thought of a few since the post that could rival the 2010s-2020s Niners . 60s-70s Vikings? 80s Bengals? 70s Rams?
