14-0 from here and straight to the parade. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dont ever reference the GDT. What happens in the GDT, stays in the GDT thread and does not reflect reality. It's why many of us stay away from the board completely on Sundays. To the bold... well, ok man. You can disagree with what we've all seen with our own eyes. Even classic homers like myself.

I just went back through the first 8 pages of this thread. There were a lot of complaints and detractors. Not a single one suggested to cut McKenzie. One poster mentioned using him in a potential trade package, but that's the most extreme suggestion made. What the rest of us have said is that he should be moved back to #4 or #5 WR, and only used situationaly, like on jet sweeps. At least until he can prove himself again. That is literally how McD got such a great game out of him in New England; benching for mental mistakes that helped him find his focus. He had a good game last year. He has a long and diverse history of mental errors as well. Give Shakir a larger role, and let McKenzie earn his way back in. Is that unreasonable? Do we disagree that much?

Ok. Point stands either way. Josh stood and fired an unexpected fastball right at Diggs, and Diggs was fully ready and on point. This is about more than one bad game.

Or not, and they tank next year and replace Lance in 2024.

I think it's all of that, plus the fact that Carroll knew how much of a system-QB Wilson really is. All the special, "custom" coaching and play-calling that went into making Russ successful since the time he was drafted. Just like we see them doing now with Geno Smith. Carroll is looking like a genius right now.

I'm dyin

I mean, I think that's kinda the plan. Go all in this year, then tank next year and be in a spot to reset and replace Lance in 2024. Winning this year helps soften that blow of sucking next year. Yeah but they have to get a new deal done, or else they are stuck paying that $12M/yr. And now that the trade has been done BEFORE a new deal is in place, CMC has the 9ers bent over a barrel, just like Tunsil did to BOB and the Texans. They are racing to the point where their only choice will be to pay CMC big money, or give up all those picks for a 4 month rental. I thought part of the trade talks dragging on was the new team working on a restructure. We may still see one, but it will be under the graciousness of CMC.

Yeah, the Falcons have been an interesting watch down here. They stink on paper, but are a much tougher team to beat than they look like. Not an easy out for any team.

Knowing this warms my heart.

It's like out-running a bear. You dont need to be the fastest person on Earth, you just need to be faster than your friends.

The trade up for Lance, lol

Right. I'm saying that's why he chose to retire and start the school.

It's not so much about the 49ers as it is the rest of the division and conference. The division is totally up for grabs. This isnt the NFC of 2020 either. Philly is rolling, but with an easy schedule. All the 9ers need to do is beat out the Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals. Then who knows what happens in the playoffs.

Little bit of both. Little bit of him probably being sick of being injured and already having decent money. It all adds up.

Considering the Dolphins have the 49ers 1st round pick, I fully support them going "all in" for this year and then tanking after that. We should all be pulling for the 49ers to make the playoffs and push that pick into the later part of the round. Then with no picks to help Lance, they can tank in 2023, and replace Lance in 2024.

The NFC is a total crap shoot. Crazier things have happened.

Well that resolved itself nicely. Would have liked to add him to the team, but not at that price. At least he stayed in the NFC. Moving on!

From your keyboard to Bosa's ears 🙏

Yes, we used 3 picks, but we got 3 players. How many players did the 9ers get for all those picks? And how many are on the current roster?

I bet once it came down to 2 Divisional rivals, who both like to play fast and loose with picks, Beane noped out quick. That bidding war between Snead and Lynch probably sounded like an auction. But man, if Lynch doesnt get a new deal done...

All great points.

Normally I'd agree, but have you seen the NFC? Outside of Eagles...

Said earlier I'd like to see him end up in SF or LA. I would have liked to get him cheap and if he'd re-sign cheap, but that wasnt in the cards. Moving on!...

IMO, the only way we send a 1st round pick is if a team-friendly extension is already agreed upon and ready to sign. Otherwise, I (and I hope Beane) have no interest in dealing a 1st pick for a 3 month rental. I dont have any interest in sending a 1st for CMC either way really, and I think he's a very good player. If no extension is in place, then best I can do is a 4th and Moss. That's all a $600k 3 month rental is worth to us. edit: And someone asked up-thread why he would take such a pay cut? Well, after the previous 5 years in Carolina and being subjected to that franchise, players are actively taking less to play for our coaches and with Josh Allen, and win a Super Bowl. We are the New Patriots. He already took the $38M in guaranteed money from his big 2nd contract, so he could afford to do a shorter, smaller deal with us. Go get a ring. Stay healthy with a better Strength team and NOT being the entire Offense, and then see what happens from there. I'm all for players making as much money as they possibly can. Just sayin, he may be more interested in the change of culture and winning a SB.
