should have tried for samuel.

should have tried for rogers the year before.

lots of guys we should have tried for.

hurney did find a decent balance in acquiring talent on offense the last couple years bringing in olsen, shockey, tolbert (even though he just threw himself at us) and murphy (even tho he's kind of meh....). he should have done brought in another WR, but ehhh...

on defense, tho, there hasn't been nearly the amount of work done to bring in good vets, esp. in the secondary. downright pathetic and feeble, tbh. soo many reasonably priced options passed over.

Asante is still old and would demand an inflated contract. Im good with the inaction on him... But since you brought that up..

When CB Jonathan Joseph was avail we should have overpaid for him...as he would be a young guy to fill a key need and create mismatch issues in the secondary. Gamble will drop off very soon and has never been elite on his best day but after Gamble it is definitely not elite..or good.

FS Dashon Goldson availible last two seasons for the Niners who resigned him late both seasons...probowler..need position...pass..

We roll the dice on guys who have limited abilities and production as if a good player would taint this team.

There is something amiss with only limiting yourself to the 8th tier of free agents..and trading picks for player that were being cut.

I agree here. However, Olsen didn't get recruited and signed as a FA he was traded for. I think Tolbert wanted to come here more than Hurney went after him (his family is in NC I think?). And Shocky was a special situation, I think he wanted to play against his former team to stick it to them.

wasn't saying or inferring that olsen was a FA.

said that tolbert threw himself at us.

shockey wasn't that special of a situation. available FA...team wanted to get the new QB a couple reliable targets, esp. at TE. picked up shockey.

i said more balanced approach, meaning didn't stick with his "plan" of building through the draft. he went outside his box to find what we needed.

he did pretty well, considering what we're used to seeing.

he just needs to do it more on defense. DT was a good start, but it's the bare minimum of what he needs to do.

What angers me more is the interview Hurney did just a couple weeks ago when asked by Tom Sorensen if Hurney is becoming doubtful about his hard line "no big name FA" stance and Hurney was defiant and said not at all and he is still 100% comitted building via the draft. Vincent Jackson is doing well also, it would have made much more sense to let Stewie walk and signed Vincent Jackson instead. Hurney is backward looking, has no vision.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
