That can be true for the player as well. You don't think Jefferson makes this offense a lot better?

We have traded away all our elite talent. That has got us the worst record in football. People wonder why we aren't relevant because we have no elite players.

You look at the 49ers roster and how they pay multiple elite players, but you're telling me we can't afford 1 elite player?

the team isn't bad because it lacks elite players. this team is bad because it lacks even good players.

we have to spend to get good players in here. once we've got a good base, then we can start talking about elite players. 

this year isn't about making us a playoff team. this year is about getting the team built the right way and i really don't think throwing everything we've got at one player is going to fix us. 

even olson said/warned about this... we aren't one player away, so don't fall into this trap that if we just get this one player then we'll be ok. we won't be. 

i know you probably like shiny expensive objects and have no problem buying them. but when you are working from a deficit, you've got to be a lot smarter with your money and some times that means not buying the shiny nice things so you get get more of the necessities you need to get by.

I never mentioned anything about playoffs. I know this team lacks talent. I'm just saying we can't afford to spend on 1 elite player?

 

Bryce is on his rookie contract. Why not spend big on a player that can actually help him.

One of the best elite WR's in years and he will only be turning 25 this summer? Definitely kick the tires.

But he also has to want to be here. I mean the Vikings aren't exactly a top notch destination but we're in the cellar until proven otherwise.

I know and I understand why people don't want to hear it because many of us want instant results but if we are going to turn this around it's going to have to be via very good drafting.

I think he's made it clear he wants to get paid. If he's seriously available we should pursue it.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By strato · Posted

      3 years to figure it out and the answer has been the same every time.  Think they will try a different solution? Bryce and Andy lol. I hope so but it is hard to have any faith in them to do that.  The Cam stuff, I don’t think anyone is talking about that thinking he is a solution for 2026. Just wishing we had some of his ability at the position now.

      The time adjustment plus this weather might be the only leg up we get. Just run it 40 times between Rico and Chuba lol.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By strato · Posted

      My amateur opinion … It’s that footwork and his overall mechanics that stop him. Short sucks too but his accuracy and timing and velocity, all compromised by his technique.  Not enough natural arm strength there to overcome it. I am not sure what another year would do if he isn’t fixing that stuff. Or two years.  If he could have things straight and squared away he could maybe get enough out of his abilities to play consistently week to week.  He will still be limited by things like field vision and what someone pointed out this week that I had never noticed or considered - trajectory on really short near field throws like goal to go situations. They said the arc he needs to clear the d line guys is such a high angle that it is hard to get the ball back down soon enough. Which boy, that is a can of touch pass worms there if you think about it. Like shooting a basket where defenders can goal tend. You have to throw it so soft that defenders can close on it. Receivers would have to use their bodies to shield.   Then you are left with rolling out to see the field and get a lane, which shuts down half the the field and is easier to defend. It’s really tough. You go looking for negatives, or impediments, they are there to find.
