Lol c'mon dude. They left the door open the entire time as Ribs continually said Ribs was right, you as usual was flat out wrong.
It's kinda hard to hold TreyDey/Ribs accountable for for all of his swings and misses given all the names he's allowed to have.
What part of
"but we were always clear to Jimmytha him salary cap-wise in a backup role and supporting Trey in that and if that worked for him, that was a no brainer for us. "
Explain what that means what does "we were ALWAYS clear" mean?
Not to get involved in this branch of the argument, but... Shanahan on why Jimmy wasn't at practice and at meetings:
"I think that was because the chances were, to me it seemed, slim to none, just with the possibility of that happening." <-referring to Jimmy being on the 49ers in 2022.
He said to Jimmy they'd love to have him as a backup if nothing happened with respect to trades, but he really truly believed he would not be a 49er. So even Shanahan thought it wouldn't happen, which is why he wasn't in meetings (he also mentioned the 24 million guaranteed if he got hurt).
NO ONE—not even Shanahan—realistically thought he'd be back except the people who thought he'd be the 49ers starter. Which he isn't.

Now, regarding what Trey/Ribs said, it was that he'd sign a small deal TO START, in hopes of by STARTING and showing out he'd get another back. Unless I'm mistaken, Ribs/Trey did not think he'd be signing to be the
backup. Which is what he did. Am I wrong on that?
