Will Levis is Josh Allen with a lower IQ

Maybe he's a meat head. He did score I believe a 93 on the same test Bryce Young was praised for aceing.

I mean looking back if my only options are trading up for Bryce Young or staying put I'd have drafted Levis and kept DJ Moore. The Titans just shelled out 92 million bucks to pair Levis with a WR we could have given him for half the cost.

You just have to laugh.

Beating a dead horse for sure but making that trade and when we did it was monumentally stupid.

The best weapon in the NFL is elite QB talent.

Offensive player of the year or Super Bowl champion? Which one you choosing?

I don’t consider QB’s to be “weapons” in that sense

Basically I mean that in regards to non QB’s, as in the “weapons at a QB’s disposal”

I think there is an argument to be made for Tyreek there, but CMC’s versatility gives him the edge in my book

You are aware that if the 49ers put him on the block tomorrow and wanted a 1st they would likely have very few if any offers, right? 

I think the thing missing from people's minds is what just happened this offseason. Almost every team in the NFL let their elite RB walk.

That's not an accident. I don't know how much more the NFL needs to telegraph the current value of RB's....

This 💯 most teams aren’t easily giving up their draft capital especially their 1st rounders. We did well to get what we got for CMC when we traded him. Thanks to Tepper and Fitt we both failed to capitalize on a tremendous draft haul for Burns and got fleeced for Young.

CMC isn't any other elite RB, he's the best weapon in the NFL, there's a reason he won offensive player of the year.

I'd bet at least a dozen teams would be willing to give up their 1st round pick for him, especially if it was the same contract situation at the time of the trade, as we had to take the hit on his signing bonus that we already paid out, there was not much guaranteed money (if any) left on CMC's deal when the 49ers took him on.

It was a TERRIBLE trade, no if's, and's, or but's about it

Yeah, people always say this and it is just head in the sand nonsense.

If you can't see it, I can't make you.

Yeah, I don't think people realize that is likely to be the high water mark for a RB trade for the next few years, if not significantly longer.

No it doesn’t. We traded 2 firsts for a 5th by waiting. The trade will never feel good.

What you equated extended under multiple coaches and GMs.  Within the context of expectations for the current situation, it is.  But yes, bigger picture, absolutely not.

In hind sight Levis was a play. No trade up wait for this year or stay put and take Levis.  Hell we could have had a Jake Locker for peanuts and still draft a guy this year. Maybe it will all work out.

Did you all see the recent news report that claimed the Commanders are putting it out there that they could go with McCarthy at #2? 

That reminds me of the Niners putting it out there that they might take Matt Jones over Lance with the third pick.

By the way, remember that everyone was calling that a great QB draft? 

Lawrence  Struggled early--OK now.

Wilson.....

Lance.....

Fields....

Jones....

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
