Fitts was right on one thing. You have to have conviction to make that move. We just made a really bad bet.

I will stand by my take that I had after week 1, the kid doesnt have a nfl arm.  Its brutally obvious after today.  Goddamn he floats his passes

I told everyone before the draft that his arm was NFL average at best and that it was my opinion he had a below average NFL arm. But his arm is significantly worse than I thought. When he doesn't have plenty of runway to step up he can't generate any velocity at all.

The Niners actually had what we thought we had which was a roster ready to compete.

Which is fugging hilarious anyway you look at it

Why did anyone think we had a roster to compete. We have 60 million in dead money, no depth and a bunch of injury prone starters 

FUG.

Because we won some meaningless games against bad teams down the stretch last year with a very conservative game plan that wouldn't translate to a full season of success.

These guys looked at that and convinced themselves that if we just add a legit franchise QB and an offensive savant we'd be right there. Then they drafted Bryce Young and hired Frank Reich.

Missing on CJ hurts the most…but AR and Levis also look better than Bryce. We traded up to #1 to take the worst of the 4…

The difference is the 9ers were correct in their assessment. The Panthers obviously were not. This is the price of incompetence.

I honestly think they initially made that trade for Mac Jones and got shook by the media and fan doubt. There was way too much smoke to that rumor for there not to have been some fire there. Jones isn't very good either but if they'd made that pick I think Jones is a little better version of Purdy.

Remember that time Howell dropped and we took Corral? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

We can.t fire Tepper , but Fitts is certainly part of the blame .   Somebody has to go .

Not the worst draft pick, but I think the worst trade in NFL history all things considered (Bryce is bad, but he's not Leaf/Russell bad).

It's also totally different than the 49ers Lance trade because they had a fully built out team, they took a shot on what a lot of people felt could be an elite QB, it at least made sense to go for that move.

This one never made sense to me, I never saw it with Bryce, his physical limitations were a huge red flag from day 1, I just tried to trust the "football people" that he had this super brain that would allow him to overcome those issues, spoiler alert, it won't.

We traded away a stupid haul only to take the most physically limited QB ever taken in the first round of the draft, let alone #1 overall.

Outside of the corner throw to (I think hurst) for 30 yards, did we have any other pass attempt that went beyond 5 yards in the game? And I'm being 100% serious
