are a more "established" team. How so?

More experience, less injuries...not stuck with someone who's as ghey and athletically inferior as Clausen, having to spend the first pick on a QB that who will be learning a pro offense. Rivera came into a tougher situation. Some people forgetting, Rivera didn't create this mess...poor management, mess that Marty helped create. Which is a GM who has done some good things...and some dumb things.

It's so obvious the OP has never taken a statistics class.

Rivera inherited a truely terrible team. Our offense was last in the league and has become a top offense in one short offseason. Our defense has had injuries and really needs some size.

Harbaugh has done amazingly but he also inherited a team that has been pegged to break out for how many years? They've got a lot more experienced players over there. It is good to see them have success finally instead of being buried in the west. Harbaugh has also been a head coach, not at this level but he has a leg up regardless in terms of how to manage the entire team.

Admittedly I wanted Harbaugh to be hired here but Chud has been spectacular. I'm not sure about our defensive coordinator McDermott because of reservations I had since watching the Eagles play with him calling plays.

I think both should have success.

Over-exaggerating there with the "terrible team" label.

If anything, Rivera inherited a pretty talented one.

I would expect more from Rivera because of his background, he's been a coach in the nfl for 15 years and making simple mistakes like time management. And then this team is so fuging undisciplined jumping off sides, false starts, and tackling. Rivera talks the talk, but can't walk the walk.

Harbaugh who came from being a college coach and now in the NFL finds immediate success.

Lol the 49ers have pretty much sucked ass for the better part of ten years but they are a more "established" team.

How so?

I think what he means was that its not a team with a bunch of rookies and stop gap players. Saving money last year for the lock out and trading away all our picks the last few years has sunk us into Lions/Bills territory this year. Oh and no I dont mean this years Lions and Bills.

SF has pretty much sucked for the most part of the last ten years. I believe the Panthers have been a lot better team over that timeline. They've had a great tightend and a good runningback on offense and that's about it. They have a few good players on D (willis is great) and they play well together but i really don't see where they are ahead of Carolina @ anyone spot, maybe DT/NT. And again as someone said, Carolina could have signed rodgers.

I mean come on, they are winning with Alex Smith now...

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
