So a hedge fund isn’t a business???

No it’s not. The stock market is a casino. Tepper is great at manipulating the market, not running a professional sport team.

You have no idea about which you speak...

Fittz/Tepper's bold move might've shaken some feathers.

Look at the mock draft boards after the Sam trade, manipulation at it's finest.

Seems like we are clueless and just throwing competition together. I wonder how they are selling Tepper on that.

Well, that happens when your better options are largely gone. Stafford was #1 but we got scooped by LA, Watson was #2 but he isn't likely to be an option until next season at the earliest and trading up in the draft is going to be almost as expensive at Watson would have been. 

I can't imagine those "why" conversations with Tepper, Rhule and Fitterer coming to the conclusion that we should trade away tons of draft capital for one of these QB's in the draft. I like the top 4 guys a lot but the price of being wrong(as the 49ers may well find out) could hurt for a long time. 

So, that's kind of what we have left....throwing poo at the wall. Darnold is one of the shiner remaining turds we can throw, I suppose. At least there is a glimmer of upside still remaining, although the optimism about his career trajectory has obviously faded pretty dramatically. 

The truth is that we made a bad decision last year with Teddy and had some piss poor luck in facing a bad enough team/coach late in the season. Both of those factors didn't help our QB prospects for this offseason. We are gonna be in another unenviable position as fans this season, wishing for the best and then rooting for the worst if this decision doesn't work out. Otherwise we are going to be stuck in franchise purgatory for a while.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
