Yeah, we've certainly shown to be shrewd negotiators when Tepper falls in love with something. Oh wait...

I still don’t think this was a bad trade if you just factor the cost to get #1 overall and leave the player taken out of the equation.

The precedent was set when the 49ers dealt up to get Trey Lance.


Both were in hindsight stupid, but the cost was the cost.

oh and the 49ers are actually capable of drafting well outside of the first and have a competent front office

That the next year's first became #1 overall just absolutely tanks the value of the trade in retrospect. We basically traded a fortune just to get to #1 a year earlier.

I’m surprised the Panthers have nearly the same odds as the Bengals. I don’t see any way the FO gives up a first round pick after losing the #1 overall pick just a year ago. There’s just no way. If any team gives up a first round pick, I imagine it would be one of the perennial playoff teams. Just too much value coming up in the next draft with a potentially high end QB class.

It's probably more along the lines of the word being out that we have highly impatient ownership that is eager to make short-sighted, poorly thought out deals in a desperate attempt to win now.

As soon as a deal like that gets done with Morgan at GM I'll be the first to agree with you. Until then it's just tired.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
