You guys are entitled to your opinion but I'm not letting our staff off the hook. We have coaches who are paid to develop receivers. We have an offensive minded head coach. We do not need to pay 8-9 million a piece to aging WR's and QB's other teams would scoff at signing just to develop our young roster.

Bruh we had one of the ugliest passing offenses of the last quarter century with Adam Thielen as our focal point. Even as a 3rd or 4th option he isn't going to make or break any games. This staff needs to develop young talent.

I just don't view Thielen as that consequential to our season. Absolutely if Canales is the QB guru he has been hyped to be he should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time by developing more than one QB. At the end of the day the Dalton contract is for our starting QB's comfort level whether we like it or not. Let's just hope our #1 pick makes us all forget about these little things with at least a fringe elite season.

With the positive press the team has been getting I've forgotten we are paying AT $9 million for the one season. That's fuging insanity. And in 2023 when he eclipsed 1k yards we had the worst passing offense in the league lmao. Then we're paying Dalton $8 million hoping we never have to watch him throw a football again under any circumstances. Yeah let's hope these young guys are ready to elevate the team so we don't have to think about these issues.

Due diligence is good but we've been turning over stones in the XFL (merged with UFL) for years. Odds are extremely low this will end up going anywhere. Any news this time of year will move the needle though.

Money talks.

If a precedent has been set by another team I can't blame his agent and himself for leveraging that for something similar. Get the deal done. But that also increases expectations. Nobody will bat an eye about it if he's producing in the fall.

I was waiting for you to slink your way into the conversation to try and make it about Bryce Young Suffice to say even Bryce got the benefit of the doubt through his rookie camp.

Kudos to Teddy for doing good in the community. We need more of that not less.

Can we be rational adults here? This is before even preseason. Labeling anyone a bust now would be like barreling into a football conversation about rookies and calling someone a bust after their first rookie camp. How about we just shelve the machismo and revisit this at the end of the year and see how he's progressing? Because at the end of the day this team badly needed an infusion of not just addtional talent but culture setters. We need less selfish basketball. That's something the team has prioritized. Whether or not that is going to work is anyone's guess but it's probably going to take more than just one singular season anyways. Let it play out for a bit.

I'm legitimately not trying to be abrasive here. But are you under the influence or something? Because you are all over the place on this subject to the point you've been flailing about Kon being a bust for not looking like an all star in his first summer league game to hilariously downplaying when he actually looks good. What did this kid do to you? Legitimately I'm curious to understand your thought process. If you just don’t like him and want him to fail I could accept that because well that's how things go sometimes in sports it's fine that's the nature of social media. But trying to present yourself as a neutral observer is absolutely hysterical.

Not going to say he's a bust but you'll name drop Adam Morrison just because lol. Wasn't Adam Morrison known to be really good in Summer League? But when he got to the regular season he was bad? You know it's not a one size fits all indicator of success or failure. Summer League is about development and adjusting to the NBA. The shitposting here is wild.

Yeah the Broncos defense that year was ridiculously talented no doubt. Still for how good they were we were in the game late into the fourth. Manning was a horrid passer. But we needed to try and match the intensity. The only guy we had coming close to that was Kony Ealy and that's a sad indicator. At the same time it was plainly obvious the refs were not going to give us even an inch. I haven't been as passionate about football since that game and the 2016 season opener where the league openly allowed headhunting was the final straw. The league never wanted us to win it all and they sent that message loud and clear. Sadly our owner at the time was loyal to the league to a fault even until the very end when they ousted him before Snyder. Now we're stuck with the Tepper's. Man........

This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

The whole team seemed to be in a funk that game. At the end of the day I think the Super Bowl week and everything that came with it paired with the coaching staff stubbornly refusing to make any significant changes for their opponent was a perfect storm of circumstances that is exactly how you lose a Super Bowl. When you add the refs and the league blatantly trying to get Peyton Manning a walk off into the sunset ring it's a wrap. We needed someone with attitude willing to fight back. I wish we had 89 just for that one game. I think the result would have been different. He wouldn't have let that bullshit fly. He may have gotten himself ejected in the process. But it would have lit a fire under the rest of the team. Just my opinion.

The FO made him the highest paid running back in league history the first go around before we even had a starting QB in place and he started getting nagging injuries from there. This revisionist history that he was treated poorly here is outrageous.

I don't have anything to do with whatever he is claiming. Any quote about McCaffrey "hating" it here does not exist that I know of. I'm telling you the reality of the situation based on his family and himself. That he and his family wanted him there and they were thrilled that he was back in an area which his famous athlete father has deep ties to. At the end of the day he would rather be there. That's something you're going to have to reconcile with. And if this franchise stinks so bad and you like him so much well.... there's the door

His mom did an interview within the 48 hours after the trade and basically said his entire family was relieved. His father also has long ties to that area. They wanted him there. He wanted to be there. It is what it is. No sense trying to spin it. There's plenty of room on the Niners bandwagon big dawg.

Went through all this with Brandon Miller. There were bitter and I mean bitter back and forth convos and some meltdowns over the pick. I know the Hornets history. I'm not going to sit here and pretend they absolutely made the right pick. Between this franchise and the Panthers the drafts are a house of horrors. I know really bad by now when I see it. With a full perspective and the fact Miller developed Salaun is developing and KJ is developing I'm wait and see mode. He could end up being every single one of the things ya'll say. Or he could be a really good player we just don't know and we may not for awhile.

It's good to know we've got a couple of Ms Cleo clones in here that already know the future careers of Kon and Ace after 2 summer league games. Let me get the winning powerball numbers too when you get some free time thanks.

You know there's a preseason right?

Eh just let Summer League play out. It's a developmental year anyway. I'm just happy to see this many young motivated players with legit promise. This roster absolutely needed it after such a rough end to the season last year.
