The letter was nice JR but this is what fans want

York -- son of owner John York -- seems ready for major change around the Niners despite having to pay Singletary ...

"Money is no object," Jed York said in St. Louis. "I mean, our object is to win the Super Bowl, year in and year out be there and compete for Super Bowls. We're going to make sure we get this right."

Not that the 49ers will spend like the Redskins but we want it said to show us that our owners have the want-to-win attitude.

Sorry to bring this up again. When I read York's statement, I thought if I was a 49ers fan I'd be thinking, "Hell yeah!". Instead of reading JR's letter and thinking, "WTF does this mean?" :(

Why do so many people think that one year totally defines JR's philosophies?

He wanted to gear up for a lockout this year, it's obvious. Once the new CBA is in place he'll be back to normal. The FO still will probably not spend on big name FAs but he's not going to cheap out every year.

It's JR's business and fans don't know diddly about how to run a football franchise. He's a self made man and I respect him greatly for that, I will always trust his decisions.

He sacrificed a lot to gear up for the lockout and I question his judgment, but his motives are sound.

The Panthers have signed no big impact guys over the past 3 years. It is fine to go with the draft but to be a winning team like Atlanta and New Orleans you have to spend to pick up the missing pieces. New Orleans has paid plenty to shore up the defense and it has paid. Atlanta has gone out and picked up Robinson in 2010, traded for Gonzales in 2009 and so on. They haven't gone hog wild like Washington but have picked up guys in key positions that have made them much better.

In order for Richardson to demonstrate he wants to win above all else we need to draft a QB, sign our young core and pick up a DT/DE and CB through trade or free agency rather than just drafting a guy and taking 2 or 3 years to develop them. Look at Godfrey, he is still not a force and he has had 3 years to develop. We have too many projects on this team and not enough proven pro-bowl kind of guys.

by the time he was playing for us he wasn't really "big". He was just an experiment. If he could stay healthy that was an nice bonus but they weren't holding their breath.

Exactly, if Hackett was an example of a Carolina big name signing, it just reinforces how few we have made recently. He was never very good and injury prone. We took a flyer on him but that was it.

That's what I meant. Our biggest recent FA signing was a decent #2 receiver. Panthers don't make big FA splashes typically. It doesn't work for the Redskins, but I think that's more because Dan Snyder seems to want to replicate a 3 year old fantasy team (Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, and Clinton Portis on one team would have owned in '07, so would have Joey Galloway)

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
