No you want the next Montana or brady. It's like a kid infatuated with greatest new toy. Had we done what we were supposed to and picked defense (parsons) instead of trying to find the next herbert or mahommes we would easily contend for multiple rings. Jimmy is an adequate quarterback. We lost out on parsons and stud wr's cus we tried to keep up with the jones. Offensive line ect but that's water under the bridge. I'm amazed this team is still contending. Mistakes like that somtimes torpedo organisations. Kudos to our late round draft picks.
btw that kid demo is doing a solid job. I've been very impressed by not hearing his name at all. Maybe once or twice
I mean why stop there? Just say we should have picked the OBVIOUS best player in the draft in 2017: Patrick Mahomes (I'm going to die on that hill that he was the OBVIOUS choice, and I'm still to this day baffled that people thought his "bad mechanics" was a crippling weakness when it was and still is literally his greatest asset: having an arm so damned good you don't even NEED mechanics. Or rather, what people thought was "bad mechanics" was him being forced to utilize his astounding talent due to the bad oline around him and terrible defense which kept the offense scrambling all the time.).
Meh, you always have a chance when you have a quarterback that can win games for you. Look at Seattle. Last year notwithstanding (because Wilson missed 5? games) they were making the playoffs without Marshawn Lynch, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Avril and Bennett, Russell Okung, Richard Sherman, et. al
Look at how terrible we were when Harbaugh left. Baalke's terrible drafts did us in, but if Kap didn't flame out, we would've at least been competitive even with the inept coaching.
I agree with 2017. Maybe not the player (at the time), but in hindsight, QB was the move to make. But they were banking on signing Cousins in FA.
