but if that was the plan the niners screwed up the 2011 draft as they should have traded down (if they could) to get 2012 1st rd picks

also i could see broncos tanking for luck this year--elway loves luck

Mr. Ed can piss off. He'll get nothing!

Had me rolling till my sides hurt and tears in my eyes.

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.

As much as I would love this to be the case, it clearly isn't.

A) We would not have traded up to land Kaepernick
B) We would have traded 2011 draft choices for 2012 draft choices
C) We wouldn't have even bothered resigning Smith as he will win enough games to put us out of contention (as opposed to going with some journeyman second string qb like a John Beck, Derek Anderson, or Luke McCown)

If baalke signed derek anderson, there would be some death threats from teh fans probably.. he didn't go that route, for self preservation.

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.

Thank you for having your eyes open and seeing that there is a big obstacle to overcome just for the niners to reach 6-10. Too many people think the niners will contend like this maybe if the lockout didn't happen they would've but because the lockout happened it diminished the chances.

Its not just Alex Smith and the offense that feel that way. Vic Fangio in his press conference looked legitimately worried and concerned, even stating they were far behind than they expected to be. The fact that everyone is saying that they didn't expect to be this behind in learning the systems and the roster is crumbling is obvious the niners won't be an immediate success. I thought if the lockout lasted into september we would finish around 5-11,4-12 with the roster before we lost those players, however the long lockout still even ending in July was crucial time wasted but seeing the talent lost, 2-14 or 3-13 are not out of the realm of possibility.[/b]
