I don't understand why everyone doesn't understand this concept. Also, I believe we all have the right to protest what we want, when we want...even while working for a company. But to think that's ok while at the same time thinking it's not OK for said company to fire you and another to not hire you for these actions makes no sense to me. Companies and business are made to look out for their money first and foremost, agree with the protests or not...but the cause has nothing to do with being hired or fired.

I could completely agree with a cause that someone I hire is protesting. But if they protest on the job and lose me business/money, I'd part ways.

A bunch of old white billionaires with a track record of making money and understanding targeted markets.

A bunch of players that frequently find multiple ways to flush the money earned from their contracts down the toilet.

Gosh, why listen to those billionaires about anything, right?

Exactly. And for a backup QB you don't want him being a distraction to your team and the league like Kaepernick would inevitably be at this point. If he was actually starter material a team would take a chance but everybody knows he isn't. He couldn't beat out Blaine Gabbert for god sake.

Try protesting at YOUR place of employment and see how well that goes. Owners sign the paychecks, if they don’t want you kneeling then you either kneel and possibly don’t play or you stop kneeling.

Snowflakes don’t understand this concept

When evaluating this discussion as a whole, it's almost astounding how different posters on this board bizarrely flip flop from being pro player to mimicking the same tired tone deaf owner speak they railed against.

Like on the kneeling discussion one group of fans will side with the owners and call the players pampered greedy babies who should just be happy with what they have and keep quiet. But when you switch to a discussion involving a certain former GM, or a guy asking for an extension, suddenly the side who defended the players kneeling in protest reverts straight to the same sort of rhetoric they previously opposed. Doesn't add up. I expect it from borderline neanderthals like thomas96 or tiger7_88, but the so called evolved huddlers here truly need to evolve or quit playing pretend when it suits them.

Those who remember the Jerry Richardson pie chart memes that were really popular here during the lockout know what I'm talking about.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
