Ultimately, brains defeats brawn.
Its not bad to have a coach like Singletary, as long as you have another guy who can manage the team behind the scenes.
Singletary couldn't even recognize Patrick Willis's talents in college. He can't recognize bad quarterbacking, nor the importance of good quarterbacking.
Walsh could; times 1,000.
Bill Walsh on Rick Mirer...
And I could name you dozens of examples where Bill Walsh's judgment was sound, excellent, or even visionary. For some reason people have the misperception that greatness is perfect, or stupidity never finds a gold nugget.
Posting an article that refers to an instance where Walsh was wrong doesn't invalidate the many times, especially in comparison with his contemporaries, where he was right.
Singletary doesn't have a comparable track record of good judgment.
im just saying that the past is done, its not every coming back and i read on here way to many comparisons between then and now. i just want it to stop, there will never be a Bill Walsh again and to compare him to anyone is stupid. the greats make mistakes too and we need to realize that back then the league was different.
this team has potential and we're all giving up to early, remember that we play in the NFC West...
I hear ya there man, but people aren't complaining because Bill Walsh isn't our coach, we're complaining because we're not relevant NOW. And it's been a long time since we've been relevant.
I haven't given up on this team either, but I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I say that I'm freaking fed up with this team. Whether it's Dennis Erickson, Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary, Scott McLoughlan, Alex Smith with a kajillion different coordinators or whatever, I'm DONE with the excuses.
This team has a lot of talent on it. This was supposed to be the year. And not only are we not playing like we should be, we're freaking IMPLODING, man. I can't help but think that's a management issue, whether it's Sing or higher up than that.
I haven't given up hope and I know we have a nice stretch of games coming up, but do I believe in Singletary and company? Hell no.
