Winning culture fuged us so hard. We aren't even getting lance now. Its basically Deshaun or bust.

Or you can put big boy pants on and realize the QB spot might not be fixed in one season and that may be the reason most teams don’t have a franchise qb.

not me, not even close. watson is ten years as the franchise, stafford may be two or three. we'd have to think about drafting his replacement as early as the 2022 draft.

I'll happily take him but he's my third option behind watson and drafting a guy.

yeah i feel you on that.  i guess it depends on how quick we could win. If we could be contenders with him still in his window of capability then i say go for it and groom a guy behind him. (talking about stafford) 

 

I want Watson too, for talent and age.. all the obvious reasons..

 

but sshit dude we are gunna have to sell the farm. and that could be worth it, not poopooing that idea in of itself..

 

but i could also see a scenario where we use those assets that we would give up to get watson to  keep them and win sooner with Stafford and still reach the end goal which is a championship within the next 4-5 years..  and in that span grooming a young QB behind him for that sustained success

Rhule's explanation for playing the starters against the WFT was that he wanted to teach the players how to win in December. It was a great learning opportunity in his mind and especially for the younger players.

Thanks to that win we will now likely end up watching the QBs with the best potential be snapped up right in front of us. I just hope those QBs end up being busts, otherwise that WFT win will become legendary and not in a good way.

Why would anyone trade for Stafford ahead of the draft unless they were getting him for very little? The QB market is/will be flooded with guys who haven't worked out with their team then you add in the upcoming draft. Especially anyone within reach of the top QB's in the draft should wait it out I'd think.

another bonus to stafford: 

 

 

Getting him would allow us to continue to build towards a championship while also giving us more time to find the long term franchise QB if we feel like the options aren't that great this year/ we miss out on that guy. 

 

Allows us to compete at a high level while alleviating the need to reach on a "meh" QB. 

 

We could win a SB with Stafford.

because some of the middle teams, such as Pittsburg, Indy, San Fran, and Pats aren't really in position to draft one of the top QBs

If you are an above average team that thinks they are a better QB away from being a really good team what gives them a better chance? using their 1st on Stafford or Trask?

      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.
