Being aggressive in free agency and trades wins.

The Bucs and now Rams are proving that whole “only built through the draft , superstar teams don’t win” narrative wrong.

 

All those years we wasted with a prime Cam, we were the cheapest team free agency. We never went after big names, we never we traded for anybody outside of Olsen. Bargain bin Gettleman set this franchise back lord knows how long.

And when Gettleman decided to spend a fortune it was for Matt Kalil.

True statement, but it's not that simple. There are a lot of other moving parts. We must have the cap space, the FO building towards a plan, the coaching staff being able to execute that plan and utilizing players to their strengths for starters...

The salary cap is a myth and the whole cap space for the future is also a bs excuse. The windows in the NFL are so small you better strike while the iron is hot, we missed our chance cause he had a clown of a GM

Look at these pitch and catch pass heavy playoff games. Especially in the 4th quarter when you really need to air it out. That's the NFL now. Your QB should be the best player on your team. Building a mega team around him means you're shooting for the SB or bust.

We have no QB, and a bad o-line. Any defense can be exploited, so I'm not concerned about the defense. We could be bad for at least the next 3 seasons with our current plan in place.

I said it back then, but Gettleman had a full on fan club on here that thought he was the second coming of Bills-era Polian.

He completely blew our best opportunity to win a Superbowl to date.  We should've had at least a 3 year window to contend for a championship annually...  and I said it when he left that he set us back at least 5 years even after his departure.  

Luckily for us, Rhule is setting us back another 5-10.  Great times.

If we had Smitty on that 2015 Superbowl squad it would have been an all out brawl before we were disrespected like we were. That was on Gettleman. Not many will agree but had they kept Greg Hardy that game may have been different.

      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.
