Honestly who's place does he take, how much does he want, and is the baggage worth it to bring him in? Garcon, Goodwin, Taylor, Pettis and James aren't going anywhere. Bourne hasn't really impressed me that much, yet.

the nfl is and should be about second chances and a golden chance . without giving away the farm. to upgrade your team, people have to get over the aldon smith ghost of 2014, good job lynch for at least asking,

On this sir at least we agree.

Lol I change my handle from 5280high over drunken debates of Josh Gordon. Funny that 6 years later he might end up a niner

John Lynch said 49ers have made a call on Josh Gordon and team is doing its due dilligence.

Due diligence

Aggressively prudent.

Cant just replace guys like Marsh and Amrstead with anyone, Amirite?

Who needs Derwin james when we have Tartt, Amirite?

Lets cut a scrub like Brown, creating a hole, and replace him with a first round rookie pick.

Lets sign a FB, and a Third down back to wayyyy inflated contracts.

shall i go on?

Not happy with the direction of this FO right now.

Our starting QB was handed to them with 0 effort on their part.

Yea I agree, so many boneheaded moves, let's extent armsdead and ward and not try to sign norwell. Looks like Solomon Thomas is struggling now too

So many holes on this roster. Need better receivers, better guards, pass rushers, and a decent corner to pair with Sherman.

I certainly don't fault them for Witherspoon. He was a young ascending player and we threw 100 resources at the secondary. But yes, some golden opportunities for receivers, G's and ER's. These massive holes lead to others being 'exposed.'

Week 2:

Niners got the nfl rushing leader (Breida, 184), 3rd in tackles (Warner, 22), and 2nd in sacks (buck, 3.5)

I strongly assume that we won't sign Gordon due to his inferior attitude.

this is football not Catholic School. If he can play IDC if he has an attitude, we could use him badly at the moment.

Aside from Goodwin and maybe Pettis, what have these receivers done for us so far?

I would easily replace Bourne...but also I am shocked that Richie didn't take Trent's slot job too. He doesn't look like he can separate anymore after the back surgery

Gordon would sign an incentive laden deal. If we don't pull the trigger I will be disapointed. We need dynamic talent.

Matt Breida- NFL's leading rusher

They signed Richard Sherman who looks like Richard Sherman

There was effort on their part to get JG. If Trent Baalke was the GM, we don't get JG, no matter how much we would've offered.

Signed Weston Richberg

George Kittle, even with those awful drops is far better than Vance McDonald and will likely eclipse McDonald's CAREER production this year.

Trent Taylor was an upgrade over Jeremy Kerley who's been cut twice since we released him.

They brought in Marquise Goodwin over Torrey Smith.

Fred Warner is near the top in the league in tackles.

Foster looks to be an All-Pro.

Signed Robbie Gould who has been gold.

Actually got a draft pick for Eli Harold.

And all and all, our games, even during the 9-game losing streak are better to watch. Far less three and outs. We move the ball much more consistently.

You can't just pick and choose which personnel moves you want to highlight.

With that said, I hate that Ward is still on the team. I wanted another guard in free agency or the draft. Passing on Carl Lawson in 2017 was a HUGE mistake. Joe Williams- enough said. Didn't make a stronger effort to sign Eric Reid (I'm not sold on Tartt). There are some hits and there are some misses. But let's not spin this like this is the 49ers post-Harbaugh or post-Mariucci. You state that you aren't happy with the direction of the front office, well I I have a simple question. As the FO goes, so goes the team. Are you unhappy with the direction of the team? Do you think we are better, worse, or the same as before?

Needs to stay healthy and out of trouble before I would even flirt with that idea
