Cam is up there. Hard to compare the older players. They played some incredibly tough football but it's too hard for me to say if they were as physically gifted. I think of W Moon, Cunningham and McNair. Now it's pass first but back then lots of hard nose football. Feels like someone obvious is out there I can't remember.

Don't forget the wasted year...

Or just cut him and paid 10 this year and I think 3 in dead next year. Maybe another moving part? Glad he is gone but that takes it from good job to ok but why.

Wait, we are eating 17 million in dead cap instead of 10 for a 6th round pick. Umm, I'm glad he is gone but that's a bit dumb.

But the cost! LoL. Just kidding. Great news. More than I dared hope for. Good riddance.

No idea but I'm also not selling anything so we will see.

Well duh big buddy. I never said I like or dislike it. Or that we can do jack about that. The failure in all of those places is their owner first. Hell, it sounds like the Seattle’s owners may be ghost and look what happens when there is zero pressure, that team hasn't been doing all that well the last few years. It's all a hell of a dynamic and I think it's fair to say we are still seeing if Tepper is going to be a Jones or a Rooney.

Show me a billionaire who doesn't have control. You don't get that rich by giving much away in the end. It's a fantasy Tepper isn't involved. It's how he does his owning and if they can make that a positive.

At this point, that sounds great but the real dynamics are all guesses in the end. Maybe Rhule and Fritts are all in on Darnold and Tep wants to play better odds. Tep wants to make money, Rhule wants to win and I'm not sure enough to know how much power Fritters has in this dynamic. At the end of the day the fans, media and professionals are all weathermen/women making guesses anyways for different reasons and motivations. BB is a HOFer and he still has plenty of poor areas in his GMing.

Sounds like a solid plan. I would hope Rhule wouldn't want a repeat of last year but who really knows at this point. Until we have a proven franchise QB we need to keep trying to get one. Spending a 2nd in 2022 on Darnold isn't enough of a commitment or cost to not take a QB at 8 or in the later rounds. I don't like that it has to come from the owner but I do like the outcome in this case.

I miss having a great QB and knowing we could win any game. I miss that kind of hope and fun.

I have no idea what we want and will do. I am incredibly grateful that Simms doesn't work for our team. This is just awful for so many reasons.

The Mac Jones on the field

Dude, keep the hope alive. If Shanny wants him at 3, why can't we play him twice a year for another 48 hour?

This is all nightmare fuel. Please don't change the unis if they are going to fug it up this bad. Some of the crap they roll out now looks terrible. TB, ATL or the new Bangles unis? An alarm clock with a STD, a uni for people that can't handle more than 3 letters & 2 numbers without an exploding head and taking ugly and downsizing it to make it fit on way over worked spandex design. Nightmare fuel.

Saw on Twitter just now that Shanny wants Mac and the scouting department wants Lance. Could get interesting there. Not like we haven't seen a similar situation here, thankfully it was a much smaller potential cost. They have already paid a ransom for the 3rd, they have to get someone who produces or heads will be rolling. I would just love to have the 49ers take Lance and Mac 'slip' to the Falcons. Damn that would be sweet!

But Ron is a players coach and they all love him....

He is until he isn't.

He better watch out or Tep will build a sewage plant near his stadium. One huge bonus of having the richest owner is he can backup a swing at another owner.

Do it lol. Sounds fun. Honestly if the mainstream 'draft experts' backed up anything they spew every year I would start paying attention to them again.

Maybe the guys who could play LT in the 2nd are not ideal day 1 starters but does that mean they couldn't beat out what we have on the roster to be a day 1 starter? On a non-contender does it really matter? Looking at our roster I say yes they could win that competition. We need to be taking a LT in the first 2 rounds and not sweat it at all. A RT playing LT worked great with Gross and would still be an improvement for us, it's why we keep asking to see more of Moton over there the last couple of years lol.

When did 6'4" 303 stop being a good size for LT? And how the hell does that translate into being better off at guard? This offseason is just insane. Dude put up 33 reps? With excellent speed? If he isn't an idiot then he looks like a better LT then we have sniffed in the last 5 years.

Like this last season, when it's like that for me I am also doing something else fun so it kind of rubs off on the football and keeps it alive. I will be dumping the PSLs though. If I do want to ever go live again I can just buy some tickets and not have any commitment or care. I was a Browns fan growing up until they moved so all I know is pain.

Being in the right position helps. Being overpromoted can be a career killer. I think saying he had control issues is an understatement. His work at the right spot with Seattle proves that he produced in the right spot, they have been living off of that success as a team since 2014 and haven't come close to those results. Also, when has anyone looked good with WTF since Snyder took over?

I get it completely. I want to be excited but I am jadded as hell also and just want us to turn the corner in the best way. Plus, this offseason is the worst and the media is also at it's worst pre-draft. 48 hours after the draft there will be some quality discussion in a small window and then another long drought before they hit the field and we see how we did. At least we should have a good and fun D. If they make a cluster of it again, I'm a lot more likely to just be loud and annoying then stop watching. Too much FU in me to give up something that was once fun even if it's the sane thing to do.
