Is there anyone on this board that would trade all of our picks for Vick? I think I might pull the trigger on that.
I know people will trash us for saying so but I would. it's all about getting into the playoffs. from there it's anyone game. Vick would put us into the playoffs and although he wouldn't be an overall solution because i think teams will begin to figure him out, we can draft a qb to train for a couple of years (next year), or trade for a flynn of j. johnson to train. Vick just buys time until Harbaugh gets his pieces in place. As for our other needs, we can handle some of those in free agency and what we don't, we can do so in the following draft. this team won six with a disfunctional coaching staff and poor Qb play. Adding Harbaugh and Vick to our current roster would win the division easy. I know it won't happen but that's the kind of ballzy move i would love to see us make...
lol. how are you going to draft a QB or trade for one when you just traded all your picks to acquire Vick? he is too old and he only had one good year. no deal, Ditka!
man, i'm so happy most of the posters on the WZ are not part of the Niner organization. half of us would be longing for Terry D years.
First off, if I was part of the Niners organization I wouldn't make decisions based on thoughts that just pop into my head like this one. Clearly I have the luxury of day dreaming without fulling considering the circumstances.
With that said, I still think I would pull the trigger. Why do you think a franchise tag costs 2 first rounders? That's actually more (depending) or about even with trading all your picks in one year. But yes, I think the QB position is that important. No one postion can single handedly turn around a franchise like QB.
I'm one of the guys that thinks draft picks are extremly overrated. It's a fricken lottery ticket. The only reason they are so valuable is that your hoping you strike gold, when chances are you will just get a solid player. Your more likely to draft a Manny Lawson (I like manny) than you are a Patrick Willis.
By the way, there is a little thing called Free Agency, not sure if you've heard of it. If you trade picks you just need to go a little heavier in FA.
P.S. I know you think it's foolish because Vick is old, but if that was the case why would the EAGLES (Andy Ried) be willing to trade there once future QB Kolb? That may or may not happen, but it sounds like they will do it for a second. Clearly Andy thinks Vick is more than a stop gap.
