The FO should get criticism for the trade, but they should also get credit for finding Brock. Both the trade for Trey and finding a Mr. Irrelevant in Brock and have him put up top 5 QB numbers is incredibly improbable, yet both things happened. You can't make this stuff up.

If Brock looks like he did last year, we found our guy for the next 15 years.

That's all I wanted. Mission accomplished.

If Brock doesn't work out, we are back to square one since we all know what Darnold is. Garbage and he proved it tonight besides the one throw.

Trading Lance was a mistake since if Brock gets hurt we are f**ked. I get it though he was moved to make room for Bosa and there needed to be some sort of pin drop.

I look at it this way. JL said we need the money to ys. There was no competition. KS spun it that way, but knows Darnold ain't it and is hoping to God that Brock doesnt get hurt. If Brock f**ks his UCL again, his career is most likely f**ked since he will need Tommy John Surgery. Look at Ohtani, poor guy is about to lose 200M cause of the same injury.

The clock has started to tick because you better be right when you fail this badly to evaluate talent at the most important position. 6 years... 6 years and we haven't found a franchise QB... Though it's looking like we lucked into one. Still we don't know if he's the real deal given the sample size. Furthermore, the unwinding of this FO and Coaching staff has begun. Lynch said it's not Lance's fault that they didn't build an O around his talents... KS is now saying that he believes they did but he got hurt....

So which is it? I think we are starting to see who wanted Lance and who didn't...

As much as I love KS... I always believed his stubbornness would be his downfall. There's a crack in the ship... We better hope that Brock can patch it make all go away or else it might be a long long season.
This narrative that Brock better stay healthy because Trey is no longer around to save the day is hilarious pure comedic gold.

Agreed ,,Trey would not of saved the day . IMHO ,Trey ended up being slower then expected coming out of college , he may of been fast in ND state but in the NFL he looked like a slug to me ,Slow in every aspect slow in his reads ,,which may have gotten better with more experience , but it shows his mental process ,,i expected him to pull away form defenders when scrambling ,,he didn't ,he was not the runner i thought he was coming out of college , there is no teaching ,or experience thats going to teach him awareness and speed ,, he'll panic ,hold on to the ball or get sacked, .. I was hoping for Trey Lance, after all he was a 49er and I didn't want him to fail ,But honestly as it looked up into this trade I didn't think he was a fit for team.
This team is ready to win now,, thats why they stuck Trey to 3rd string, bad circumstances with the injuries set Trey back here and there isn't the time with the team to try and grow and fix him as we try and compete with top teams in the NFC to get the SB.. So am I ashamed of the front office the way they handled this ,,Hell no for what ? Ive been with this team since the late 70's , I've been around when they traded Montana, cut Craig, Lott and Rice , got rid of Haley and can't even begin to try and write all the stupid draft picks i've seen over the years ..First and foremost its business ,not personal . A business is going to make a bunch of mistakes big and small what makes a good business is how they deal with the adversity and overcome it . I see this trade as smart business over a big mistake..that makes sense to me..
Ashamed?

It's just football!

I think it was a great move that didn't work out. If Trey hadn't hurt his throwing hand and knee in year 1 or broke his leg last year, he may be the FQB. But right now, it would be foolish to not go with experience and production as the championship window is closing. For years I watched other teams be aggressive and make moves, some good some bad, but I always wished we had that kind of management. I think it's awesome that they identified a need and went after it. It didn't work out, that's life, that's circumstance, and that's business. I'm sad for Trey, it sucks to think about what could have been, but again, that's life.

I have a high stress job where one typo in the probate I receive or a single mistake on my end can make the entire account fall apart. I'm grateful to have management that understands this is the nature of the beast. I think it reasonable to give 49er management and coaches who have made us contenders 3 of the last 4 years the same consideration. QB is the hardest position to evaluate, and more often than not, it just doesn't work out.

Trey Lance leads Cowboys to first playoff win over the 49ers in over 31 years, gets his first playoff win after a much-maligned career. Lance threw for 356 yds and 4 tds, two to CeeDee Lamb who torched the 49er secondary for 210 receiving yds. The outcome was never in doubt as the Cowboys built a 28-0 halftime lead and finished with a 42-21 wildcard weekend victory. Lance also rushed for 56 yds and a td and the Cowboys defense, led by Micah Parson and Trevon Diggs, sacked 49er backup QB CJ Beathard seven times and intercepted him three.

Trey Lance, entrenched as QB1 at the beginning of the season for the first time in four years, has seen a career resurgence leading the Cowboys to a 12-5 record while throwing for 4,417 yds and 33 tds. The Cowboys go on to host Jordan Love and the Packers in the divisional round next week. This is Kyle Shanahan's last game as 49er head coach as he accepted a six year contract to coach his alma mater, the Texas Longhorns this upcoming fall.

Lulz

If I didn't know any better, I would think that was written by a cowboys fan. 🤣

What a refreshing change of pace
No.
Mooch being a p***y was embarrassing.
Erickson sucking the chrome off a ball hitch was embarrassing.
The only point of going to a 49ers game was matching suits with Nolan... that was embarrassing.
Singletary mooning the team was REALLY embarrassing.
The lead up to the Harbaugh firing was embarrassing.
Tomsula's violently loud sphincter was embarrassing.
Firing a 3rd head coach in 3 years was embarrassing.
Swinging for the fences, missing entirely, yet still managing to score... that's not embarrassing.

Held accountable for what exactly? We found our Franchise Quarterback with the last pick in the draft. Who cares about Lance? I know I don't.
F--K NO!

I've been a fan since '76.

They took on a team that was terrible - drifting from loser coach to loser coach and loser GM.

In less than 5 years they built a Super Bowl caliber team.

They've had us in contention after facing incredible injuries to many starters.

They drafted superb players in multiple rounds - Kittle in the 5th, Warner in the 3rd and on & on.

Our roster is stacked because of them. And many FA's want to come here and play.

They made a mistake - so F--IN' what.

You hyper complainers should buy Whiner Jerseys and wear them
Terrible thread and terrible fans. I hate the nickname forty whiners because this does not apply to a majority of the passionate fans. Unfortunately, we have a terrible loud minority that ruins it for us all. Go to the nfl subreddit and our team is the only one that posts daily updates about training camp ints and manufactured drama.

When was the last time bill bellicheck (some argue up there with Walsh) had a great 1st round pick? 2012?

andy Reid traded two second round picks for Alex smith. Seattle trade first round picks for an injured safety. Rams sold their drafts for a title and now their team is garbage (bad front office or good? Prob worth the risk id say).

point is good front offices take chances. Can't even list the big swings that paid off and didn't. We swung for trey and failed. Swung for mccaffrey, williams, etc and paid off… not to mention all our late round home runs.

some people need to get over themselves. The draft picks are gone and we have the team we have now which seems pretty great.

The fact you would make a dumb thread like this one is even more dumbfounding.

I don't know what's worse. Creating this thread or calling people out for not responding fast enough.

I'm not ashamed. Just disappointed.

What?? I don't know what you're talking about. But try some critical thinking for once. This was a debacle from top to bottom.
