What is the infatuation with requesting threads be locked? I mean, come on. Is it going to change your life if the thread can still be discussed? I don't get it. Are you paying for the web space and trying to conserve storage for the 49erswebzone? Everyone always wants a thread locked around here, as if it is going to affect them in some way if people continue posting in it. Just don't come back in here if you don't believe the topic should be discussed.
Anyway, I refuse to believe the plan is to tank the whole season, but based on the events (or lack thereof) over the past few days, it sure does look like they're trying to tank. I can deal with one more crappy season if it means we get a franchise QB and sustained success going forward. I mean, look at the Cardinals after tanking just one game. They let us beat their asses and now they have what is sure to be a top CB because they got the better draft spot.
Apples and oranges. Teams quit once they're essentially mathematically eliminated, and generally speaking those coaches the ones who get fired too. Nobody quits at the beginning of the year. That's assanine. That's why I said lock it up. This isn't a real topic to discuss.
We go 1-15, nobody tries, nobody cares you don't have to replace 1 QB you have replace 52 players because you just lost your locker room.
Yes we got the number one pick, we have God now we can finally start to play for real. You know guys I really am a good coach I was just tanking it before. Hey Asomugha come here and play we'll try once we get enough players to contend. Once we get you, Luck, and 4 more #1 picks we're good to go.
If it's not a topic to be discussed, then stay out of it. You obviously continue to come in here and read the replies. There's quite a few threads I don't think are worth discussing, so guess what I do... I stay out of them. I don't go in and request a lock. Maybe the people in there are wanting to theorize or simply entertain themselves.
And I think the point is it LOOKS like they're tanking it because they sure as hell are tanking the FA period by letting starters walk and not replacing them. Keep in mind this is a sub-.500 team getting worse, talent-wise. We sucked last year and we're gonna be working with less talent this year. I know the better coaching will help, but people seem to have forgotten about the lockout and all the time it wasted for Harbaugh & company. They are far "behind the 8-ball," as Alex Smith says. If you don't think that looks bad, you're blinding yourself with man love for the people in charge of this team.
By the way, the fact that you and I are exchanging replies in this thread means it has some value to you.
