Kap didn't initially take a knee.  That is as I mentioned at least better than sitting 

my biggest issue with Kap is I don't feel he came in with much of a plan and has done stuff sloppy...when you factor in how big of a stage 

so let's say more take a knee....when do you stand up? Never again? 

Real change IMO happens more generationally as waves move up.  

I think he has as well but you see him trying to fix the picture of what he is trying to do. I think with the socks presented initial anger. With initial anger comes the worst words or worst acts. Through time and thought you are more willing to talk things out with less anger. Thats what I see Kap doing. With the socks there was anger behind it. The sitting was what he felt was right but in some eyes it was still wrong though the motive was right. The kneel I feel he doesnt step on toes and still gets the same point across while respecting the military.  He is learning from mistakes and there not really mistakes on his end, but more of people taking what they want from it and turning the agenda into something its not. But he is painting a better picture for people. Everybody refers to cops as pigs, Ive heard that term so many times but it doesnt make him wrong for having socks of it.

I think there can be change in this generation. I do see your point in waves but I think we can make a last impact in this generation to ensure we wont have another generation. I think alot of the past 2 years have back tracked mentally for some, although these things happened the whole time just with media they have been brought to the forefront.

For addressing his critics and getting the message back on track. 

Addressing the media and adjusting his protest (taking a knee) to show more respect speaks volumes.

Perhaps Kap is not really really dumb.

You could make the argument that taking a knee is actually more respectful.  You're in essence genuflecting to the flag.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
