it's probably also because teams aren't going to trade down on sure fire QBs. the colts were never going trade down from luck or Manning, for instance. the 49ers could reasonably have taken any of the QBs but wanted Thomas instead.

who the gently caress are the 49ers even going to start at QB, bears rejects?

The 49ers will be starting QB Sam Darnold/Josh Allen/Josh Rosen*, or whoever it is they pick first second* overall in the next draft.

*forgot about the Jets for a second.

We've still got so many holes to plug it doesn't matter if we start a waffle at QB. There was no reason to draft high this year and throw them raw into the NFC West meatgrinder like we did with Alex Smith.

I'd actually kinda like them to start a waffle at QB, so we could guarantee the first overall pick next year.

What I want out of the team is enough wins to keep manbaby Jed from purging the coaching staff again, but not enough to gently caress up our drafting.

It's like that episode of that sitcom where the high school kid got into an advanced class by mistake and had to get a grade that was just high enough to pass but low enough he'd get tossed from the class.

Not even Jed is dumb enough to purge a staff that he just gave a fully guaranteed six year contract to. As laughably stupid as he is, he still likes money.

A proposal: San Francisco continues to be awful at football and the Lions win a playoff game for the first time since the James Garfield administration.

I would also like to see them win a Super Bowl, but first, baby steps.

Counter proposal: the 49ers get good again for three years, then decline for a few, then get good again for three years, then decline for a few, etc etc.

I was tempted to say they should dominate the NFL forever and screw everyone else, but we already have the Patriots in the league and gently caress those guys.

49ers can gently caress off tho. You don't get to a bloo bloo bloo with a case full of Lombardis.

The 49ers have been without a super bowl win for longer than the Browns* have been a team.

Is that someone describing how quickly a 25 point lead can disappear? He could also be discussing a pick six from the 10-yard line in the final two minutes of a playoff-implication game. I'm not sure :shrug:

You don't want your team to be hated as a perennial super bowl contender? I want this thing very much

They haven't won a thing since some goons were born, yet they're already just about there. It's more about not being able to live with myself if I aspire to be like a Pats fan.

Edit: vvvv My god it's going to be good to see Bowman playing healthy this year. At least for the 5 games he plays before he retires, and Foster takes over.

Edit 2: Also fun to look at the sidelines and play the Is He Still a 49er game, "Nope, nope, nope, gone, nope, gone, nope, nope."

Boy did the Bears save the Niners from themselves

That's actually not what Shanahan said. At all. Local media is jumping all over SI for their headline. Shanahan said, when asked, that "if" the team doctors got it wrong on the shoulder, then "worst case scenario" would be Foster misses a single season.

Weird that so many articles are coming out trying to make the pick look bad.

Out of all the division leaders, I think it's the Seahawks. Not that they probably won't win their division again, given the shape of the NFC West, but I don't think they make it anywhere in the playoffs this year. They did nothing to help the o-line, injuries/age are catching up with the defense, and the WRs are still sub-par. I feel like every game is a serious gamble that Wilson doesn't get broken in half, and the second that happens they nosedive.

It's not a LOT of things, but Pocic is very very good. I don't know why people keep overlooking him.

Yeah I see the Chargers having a very high ceiling and floor this year. Same with the Cowboys.

Every member of the Cowboys o-line will get a minor, but season ending injury. Dak will regress and turn into a "one read" QB. Zeke will develop an eating disorder and dwarf Eddie Lacy.

The world will be at peace.

No.

Edit: Unless you mean third string. After his stint as a starter, he finished the year behind Kap and Christian Ponder. Christian Ponder.

Hoping the Seahawks implode; Schneider turns into a draft pumpkin, Paul Allen fires Carroll in a fit a pique, Tom Cable is hired as the new HC, and all their star players retire.

A lot of negative press surrounding the 49ers in the Harbaugh days came from the Seahawks' locker room. Sherman and Baldwin complained about Harbaugh's college coaching. There was a bizarre story they told about Harbaugh trailing the Seahawks team bus, honking at them. They threw out a lot of just weird poo poo when they were still an up-and-coming team (and it looked like the 49ers were going to be on top for a while).

Of course Sherman's INT in the championship game that basically led to the rift between Harbs and York/Baalke compares pretty well to the Butler INT the Seahawks suffered.

Karma in several ways.
