Why the GM chose to not trade Mccaffrey to the rams is beyond me 

rams were trending downward  so those picks are now more a 3rd  a 4th and a 5th  Give me a high 2 and 3  who cares about a 4th

I think part of it is also getting a deal you're happy with but making sure you're sending the player to a good situation as well. I'm sure it won't be lost on his agent that we could've sent him to the Rams but sent him to a contender instead. Maybe they'll steer some players we're interested in our way.

This is why I believe, barring a QB you really like falling to 9, you trade down if there's a team interested in that spot. We need players.

Im not opposed to trading down. If we do that then I would like to see us bring in a vet QB to compete with Coral.

Are we sure he was willing to go to the Rams? He may have only been willing to go to the 9ers considering his connections there.

Both the 49ers and Rams were 3-3 at the time of the trade.  CMC wanted to go to the 49ers.

To be honest, what CMC wanted should have been secondary

The team paid him $64 million dollars.  That’s enough compensation for a RB

So stupid is as stupid does, twice over 

as for the Rams, it was pretty clear they  were not last years Rams 

he wanted the west coast, he would have had it in LA as well 

it’s not like they were sending him to Houston or the jets

I get what you are saying, but I really hate when people call a late 2nd round pick "basically a 3rd".  It literally makes no sense.  Just call it a late 2nd round pick, because that is what it is.  There are a set amount of picks in a round for a reason.

I believe its very clear given the shanahan mccaffrey bromance is nearly 40 years old. If given the choice(theres strong support that CMC should have a say), its going to be 49ers with shanahan.

Also, depending how his contract was written,  he may have needed to approve which team he was traded to. I don't know if there was or wasn't, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was a clause in it.

It was common sense then 

it’s common sense now 

i be spend a good part of time in CA whether I want to or not  I saw and heard about the Rams far more than I want to 

we didn’t owe CMC some royal send off of his choosing. 

every single decision should be about the good of the franchise 

In the case of the Panthers, it seldom is 

There have been several seminal moments with Fitterer.  This was another one

Right? They always phrase it like that to fit their narrative but then they’re never willing to call an early 3rd, a late 2nd.

Watching him be injury-free with the 49ers makes me think he was sandbagging here anyways. 
 

It’s true that the Panthers always want to be the “nice guys” as an organization and it’s always bit them in the ass
