Trading the #1 pick has been done so few times I just don't see it happening. Sure, it's going to happen again and this might be that year, but I just don't think so. The Observer did an article on it yesterday, on how many times the first pick has been traded.

The Observer sucks so bad.

This is the first year with a rookie salary cap, so throw out the past. Most guys say the cap will induce many trades. Alas, most of them are prone to take place between 8 and 15 picks.

3. Not seeing what others who needed a QB saw in Jimmy Clausen that caused them not to take him in the second round. I heard he offered the Rams our first rounder in 2011 to move up in the second round (a la Brown) and the Rams declined.

this did not happen, or Hurney lied to the press. He actually said the price to move up in the second was the 2011 first rounder so he refused to do it. Either way, I have no doubt that if Hurney really wanted to move up he would have been able to.

The rest of your problems with him are fine and all, just wanted to get that one off my chest :P I don't agree with your evaluation of it but oh well. I think Brown & Otah(Didn't we get Goodson with that trade too? Can't remember who else it was) were in no small part to get Fox "win now" people, because they were focused on the now instead of building for the future.

Also, AE has reportedly been JR's call. No idea if it's true. Dunno why Hurney did it anyway. But oh well.

      In all honesty, no one knows if Dan really pushed for Bryce to be drafted. It's not fair to Dan to say that just because he was a part of the Fitterer regime then he was in full support of drafting Bryce. If the HC, Reich at the time really wanted Stroud but got bullied into drafting Bryce then Dan had even less say so in the matter. Dan was also saddled with giving Bryce an opportunity to compete in years 2/3 because of the cost to trade up and get him by ownership.  Outside of managing the QB position, Dan has made good moves and built a decent roster. Solidified the O-line and D-line, drafted contributors, and made good trades (Mike Jackson), and free agent signings (Dowdle). I do believe that this offseason will be really important for Dan and we'll see whose side he is clearly on. Bryce has had plenty of time and opportunity to prove himself and he has failed, if Dan is a Bryce homer he'll give him another year and pick up the 5th year option. If Dan isn't a Bryce homer, he'll move on from Bryce. Either way, we'll find out this offseason.

      You also have to extend him and probably deal/cut Bryce

      Jones would be what he is if he was on this team, a fairly middle of the road game manager. Still and upgrade but probably not worth the price the 49ers may want for him. If it's not something stupid in terms of ask and he doesn't want something even more stupid in terms of longish term contract, I am okay with a middling game manager until we can do better through the draft. The one thing that wouldn't be terrible is some stability at QB. That has almost never happened under Tepper.
