Ban yourself for coming into a discussion board and being afraid of discussion.

Just answer the question or GTFO with your crying

I can't believe as dumb as the question is it made it 12 pages.

How many pages posters crying about it? Either participate in the discussion or don't. It's pretty simple lol

He's doing a lot better than I thought he would. Now...if he can figure out a way to dump MCG, Ford and Jimmy G before the season starts.

Many of them were brought in to reshape the locker room atmosphere and leadership just as much as they were for their on field performances. In that respect they were all good acquisitions.

You neglected the trades for Tomlinson and Williams, two clear Ws.

Oh shoot, I did forget about those. Those were HUGE trades. Not only great players, at which we paid minimal compensation for those.

But in looking at the moves, there've been some missteps, but I'm happy with the overall body of work. The only major issue I have is the Dee Ford contract and the injury issues we've had since 2017.

Lynch and Kyle combo have built a damn good roster without splurging like crazy in FA. So, I give them props for that.

As to the rest...

We need to wait and see how McG returns from injury.

Ford is mostly here for at least another year. This is Lynch greatest FA blunder, that is still haunting us.

jimmy will be cut as soon as he can pass a physical.

As if a poll from which most of us, with the exception of a handful in here, have any clue what it takes to build a multi million $ team in a heavily regulated league whilst dealing with agents, scouts, Paraag, Kyle, injuries, covid, turf, Joan from accounting, player egos, media, Cohns, fans and social media.

The guy needs a medal for rebuilding the roster he was given to get the post season success not seen for years in a very short time frame. SMH

This team has been built on coaching and talent development more than high value aqusition. Look at all the misses he's had in wasted high round picks or the busts he's had in fa in his time here.

Hmmm. That's an interesting point. I'm kind of curious.

Pierre Garcon: Miss
Malcolm Smith: Miss
Marquise Goodwin: Miss
Kyle Juszczyk: HIT
Richard Sherman: HIT
Jet McKinnon: MISS
Weston Richburg: Miss
Jason Verrett: Hit AND Miss? --- I don't re-call spending big money on him. He was great in 2020, but has had injury misfortune.
Kwon Alexander: Miss
Emmanuel Sanders: Hit --- One year rental that I believe was instrumental in getting us to the Super Bowl. And while it's not quantifiable, Deebo Samuel credits Sanders with helping him develop in his rookie year.
Dee Ford: MISS. This one is probably the worst.
DeForest Buckner Trade: Mixed bag. Depends on who you ask here, but ultimately we traded DeFo so that we could keep Armstead, Ward, have money for Kittle's extension, and ended up drafting Kinlaw. This trade looks a lot better if Kinlaw produces this year.

Some of the early misses, IMO, aren't too costly because we overpaid when we were a talent-starved team that no one wanted to go to. We also had the cap room.
Juice was an overpay, but he's a core piece for us. Sherman was great for us. McKinnon's injury woes were a huge miss. Richburg's injury and retirement was a miss, but did his contract hurt us?

Dee Ford's acquisition and contract is the worst of it all.

I also don't remember the contract details for some of them and I know I'm missing some. What else?

Who knows? You could bring back Mr Baalke. I'd rather that drunk one prior personally.
What is missed in fan opinions is all the machinations that happen in the FO's around the league. It is likely not a pure hit and miss scenario. It is more likely percentages that can only be evaluated long after they are gone.
On a personal basis he appears like a good guy that has no business in the cut and thrust of negotiations. Sometimes impressions are everything to fans and nothing to do with reality.

NFCC = a slight upgrade from a Participation Medal
Anything not named Super Bowl is a bust.

Suppose jimmy is playing better. What should we do?

Unless Jimmy is possessed by the spirit of Peyton Manning, I think he'll largely be the same QB in his 9th season in the NFL. Not saying he can't improve, but he's still going to largely be an above-average QB that excels in the short-passing game, but can be very inconsistent.

I think it's more what they think about Trey. Jimmy should still be a better overall QB than Trey at this point... but how much better? If it's a marginal amount, then we're looking at a $27M cap number vs. a $8M cap number. Cut our losses with Jimmy once he's healthy... cut him / trade him even if it's for minimal compensation, and then allocate that money toward the Deebo/Bosa Contract Extension Budget.

I'm on the fence here. I think some of his moves have been questionable. I think whether Trey pans out or not will play a big role in whether he sticks around.

And yet we're in some sort of cap "purgatory".

Not in cap purgatory, this is the impact of COVID hitting, now the cap was supposed to be in the $230M range this year, next yrs expected number.
