Agreed. Twelve victories is a thing to enjoy.

Oh ok. Those guys were draft picks?? Get on the same page man.

Cost both teams a ton of draft picks. So yah it's a draft trade.

Its actually worse to trade for a guy who's gonna command a huge salary vs taking a shot on a rook with a low contract. You can easily move on just like 9ers did. Especially worse if you are dumb enough to guarantee him the whole contract.

All you guys do is move the goal posts. Constantly. Anything to NOT criticize anyone on this team.

Trey Lance was the worst draft trade ever and it's not even close. I have no idea how this is debated.

Half your posts in here are you moving goal posts and using an insane version of hindsight to try to make your point.

I don't think anyone here has said the Trey Lance move was a good one. There are people who don't have an issue with the team swinging for the fences when they had Jimmy G who couldn't stay healthy but I don't think anyone is saying the trade up and drafting of Lance was good, not even close. The move was terrible.

However if you want to make a point that it was the worst trade in the history of the league then be prepared to hear people call you on it.

I remember seeing the fluffed up(and context missing) image saying what the Dolphins got for trading with the 49ers. In fact here is one of those images they showed in games


First of all what did all those players get Miami? 0-2 in the playoffs since they made the move. 49ers made the terrible trade and went to 3 straight NFCCGs and a SB.

You can certainly play the "neither of them won it all so it's all the same" card but you'd be full of it. And the trade itself doesn't hit as bad because the 49ers went deep in the playoffs all those years. Those future first rounders were last 4 picks in the first round. By overall trade value it's not even close to being the worst trade value wise.

Yes it's a horrible trade for the 49ers and it killed our depth while getting us a bust of a player but overall value wise and $ wise it's not even top 5 when you dig into it. It's just terrible for us because we lost those picks and don't have anything to show for it, even a depth piece or two that we could've gotten with those picks. You could make a strong argument that the OJ Simpson trade we made was actually worse than the Lance deal because we got a broken down player who was a shell of his glory days and cost us a 2nd and 3rd round picks in 78, future first and 4th rounders in 79(1st ended up being #1 overall pick) and a 1980 2nd round pick.

Draft value wise they're not even close

Lance trade(12th overall, 29th overall, 29th overall and 102th pick) 1200, 640, 640, 92 in terms of worth based on trade chart
Simpson trade(38th overall, 65th overall, 1st overall, 83rd overall and 29th overall) that's 520, 265, 3000, 175 and you guessed it, 640 in worth.

You're welcome to add up those totals but I'll give you a hint...that 1st overall is worth more than all of those picks given up in the Lance trade.

So the 9ers are the worst drafting team of the last decade yet Kyle Shanahan squandered arguably the greatest team ever.

The insanity knows no bounds.

Nice to see you want people banned for having their own opinions. Maybe it's you who needs to be banned?

Now run off and join your little boys club where you all say the same things

He's about to tell you how Alpha he is Gore.

Wow, this comment should be posted for people to refer to when they lose their mind.

However, the root word of fanatic is "fan": Fanatic: a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal.

We are all fans and guilty of losing our minds sometimes, maybe that's part of the fun

What last season told me? As long as we have Shanahan and Purdy, the 49ers will always compete for Championships. They just need a solid defense to get them to the Super Bowl. Let's see if Seattle can still do that after losing Kubiak?

All you unhappy Niners fans and couch GM's, if you're unhappy with rooting for a winning team, go root for the Cardinals and see how that feels.

The silver lining here; if we can actually hit on our top draft picks this year, we are right back in it!

Spending so much time and energy on how bad we've drafted in the top three rounds over the past 10 years, or how much better we would be if we had drafted better, doesn't help us one bit right now. We have to hit in the upcoming draft as well as free agency and stay healthy in order to compete in the NFC West.

Well said glorydayz.

But actually they need to hit on this off season. Like Lynch said, they'll have more flexibility in terms of spending and they have the chance to hit on this draft. Even more so thanks to Mac Jones's value.

I don't see why Lynch said they'll have more flexibilty in terms of spending. Their cap space this year is estimated between $23 million and $37 million. Last year it was $50 million. Maybe because they have Purdy's contract done?

Actual spending money I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. They didn't really spend much last offseason and I don't think they really spent much on Undrafted rookie free agents either. 9ers certainly had the cap space they just didn't do anything with it.

This is correct. Kyle the coach is fantastic minus some end of game decisions over the years. Their issue has been talent acquisition and roster building choices. Very inconsistent and sub par as of late.

Earlier in the regime they had awesome mid and late rounds. Higher rounds have mostly been underwhelming and it's caught up to them.

Why? Who knows. Most teams draft like crap that's why there are generally only a few good teams at a time lol

The good news is aside QB (which is amazing to say! ) Every position could be upgraded and is somewhat a need. Meaning - just take BPA. (Which imo is the issue. They try to marry need with bpa too much)

point being - If it's a LT or a middle linebacker. Take them. He only plays rookies when he has zero choice anyways lol (my other gripe).

warner
bosa

am is I missing anything else? Maybe sanders? Hufuanga? Shanahan and lynch have been able to survive the garbage drafts with the above moves. Now that the core outside of Purdy are either gone or old, I'm curious to see where this team goes.

So let's see…bold players drafted by this front office that can't draft and the two remaining players traded for by the front office that can't trade.

Checks out

9 players in 10 years. ZERO impact players under 25 years old.

I think Chat GTP could do a better job

9 points in the last two games vs Seattle with 167 yards and 2 INT

Ya, the future looks so bright.

Hopefully we can play superstar QBs like Spencer Rattler, Kyler Murray, Michael Pennix, Jaxon Dart, Jacobi Brissett, Bryce Young, Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward and Phillip Rivers each week.
