Would a trade be in order in the near future?

Hey gents, slow day at the off-house. (off today)

 

Anyway, I know many of you peruse through the internet and find tidbits and news and post about other teams. I keep readint how some rather insignificant trades are being done. Insignificant in the sense that they are not blockbuster type trades. No big names. Example, The Niners and the Chiefs basically swapping average players. I think it was Jenkins for Baldwin. Both WR. I assume both parties gave up on their prospects and decided, what the heck, lets see what this other kid has? Right?

 

Well, as many of you know, we are in need of OL help. I can not stress this enough. I believe we do have the fire power to maybe intice a team thats OL rich to help. We all know we are stacked at the RB department. Gettleman knows this too. Personally I believe we are stacked at the DE department too. Now with Star and KK, the DT department is rather crowded.

 

 

Moving forward, Gettleman has not shown us what he can do in the trading department. Hurney was not too bad at it. Just some of the players did not pan out. Except Olsen. That was a sweet deal.

 

So, do you think Gettleman has a trade in the works or maybe he is playing his cards close and waiting on an OL to hit the waiver wire? I know there are still 3 weeks left. I just have a feeling there may be a trade in the works. Call it a hunch...or the burrito I just ate.

I think we should trade with the chiefs for Branden Albert.

 

Do not know if we could afford that.  I know as it stands the cap is looking decent. Being that the situation I do not see Albert being brought in, unless the chiefs give him to us. Is he not owed a substantial amount of money? That would be the other thing to keep an eye on, the player that wouldbe traded would take minimal amount of money. I am also not against getting WR help instead of OL help. The more I think about it now. OL or WR help would be just what is needed.

I'm sure someone out there could use one.

 

I'm sure the Patriots would love Williams still, they've wanted him for years. But what do we do without him? We have a big stable of RBs but none of them are actually reliable at this point.

I guess it would have to come down to what gentleman believes.

 

big stable vs a decent OL

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
