Let's go back in time.... to the year 2010. I know it seems a long time ago but that is where our story begins. John Fox is not extended and the writing is on the wall. It seemed everyone knew Fox was done in Carolina but we kept him anyway. Jerry Richardson made the comments about obligation to stockholders and firing a coach and hiring another would affect his bottom line.

 

Fast forward to 2013.

Same scenario - An owner who has displayed a reluctance to make changes and fix mistakes that might cost him. We have to pay for his mistakes. Jerry is made of teflon. Great person. Smart Businessman. Worthless Owner.

 

So it's another wasted season because our owner doesn't want to have to pay a fired coach a salary. It's all about the bottom line...and that bottom line is not winning. That takes a back seat to profitability.We had to pay for a stadium renovation because this owner is so cheap he won't even fire lame duck/inept coaches.

We missed out on a lot of great coaches over the last several years by keeping guys around who shouldn't have been kept. First two names (of guys we missed) that come to mind would be Harbaugh (who we didn't even entertain....thanks Jerry!), and the coach who was tailor made for our Quarterback Chip Kelly....

Jerry Richardson is the boneless hot wing of owners?

3 wasted seasons.

 

3 wasted seasons of Cams career. Smitty might as well retire this week.

 

Richardson will continue to hire defensive minded coaches and never really develope Cam. Really is a shame.

 

 

 

It's been over 15 years, but, can I go back to being a 49ers fan?

They got their ass kicked last night so you're screwed.

Harbaugh wouldn't have come here in a million years.

Kelly will be as successful as Spurrier was in the NFL.

Richardson isn't the problem.

On a day like today I don't want to make sweeping generalizations.  But this franchise has become a bottom feeder in the NFL.

 

That is the sad reality right now, as much as I don't want it to be.  And Richardson's decisions over the past 5 years are as responsible for this as anything else.

JR bashing is old and misguided.

 

Are you kidding dude? JR's cheapness in 2010 directly correlates with where this franchise is at right now. His refusal to accept better than mediocrity last year and hire a GM who didn't demand a new HC is why we're in this place now. Another wasted season and it starts at the very top and trickles down man....

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
