One of Fitts big mistakes was letting Reddick walk. Burns would look a lot better if there was another competent DE his opposite. Teams can easily scheme out 1 DE.

Fit has been absolutely atrocious here. 
 

burns can flourish big time imo in a way better spot, thats gonna happen too.

Burns was absent today and a liability 

it’s been that way for while

one the critical last 2 qtrs, where was he ?

they can do better. Trade him. Get picks. Move on

If Brian was angling for a top 10 deal, he has thoroughly and completely played his way out of it.

I wouldn't even be comfortable with the 23 mil deal that we offered him.

Just tag and trade for whatever you can get. If nothing, just let him go.

I’m not on the sign burns train for what he wants, but I don’t remember seeing any run plays towards Burns’ side. Maybe the opposing teams are running plays away from his side for a reason? 
still, I see him playing patty-cake with right tackles and tight ends mostly.

Yeah im sure with those picks Fitt is going to take a future superstar!

 

Picks means nothing as long as Fitt is making them. Give me an established player like Kyle Pitts and a 2nd round pick.

I've been on the tag and trade camp for awhile. I honestly think our 3-4 transition was primarily about trying to help Burns go from good to elite and he's still who he is. You can't pay this guy $30M a year or anything close to it. Not in a hard salary cap league. $30M/year defenders have to be the elite of the elite.

Luvu was supposed to be that rusher opposite Burns but Shaq having a season ending injury changed that.  I'd love to keep Burns but at the right price.  

The only player proven to be worth a top 10 positional contract is Derrick Brown.

Fitt has held firm that we want Burns here but we are not paying him Nick Bosa or Aaron Donald money.  

Did Fitt know when the Rams trade was on the table that Burns was going to hold firm to 30 million plus a year?  

Luvu will be 28 next year so I'm hopeful he won't command a top of the league contract and we can resign him.  I bet we'll be able to resign Shaq next year for a fair contract.

Brown was lined up on the same side as Burns for much of the game, so I'm betting they ran away from him intentionally. Even then though, they gave up a big run or two, one specifically to Jones that's in the highlights.

We can't help that fact. Burns is vastly underperforming and Fitterer sucks. If Fitt had made the trade, maybe we still have DJ Moore(far, far better player than Burns). 

Or maybe it wouldn't have mattered because we are a rudderless ship. No way to know. The thing we do know is that the haul for Burns was worth far, far, far, FAR more than the player he has been. That is unquestionable.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By cardiackat88. · Posted

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
