Jed wasn't going to change his mind and scramble to look for some guy off the street over two playcalls lmao.
Im not talking about jed becuase he's an idiot I'm talking about my personal opinion. Hopefully ks is great and turns the franchise around but i fear the job is too big for him.
In this regard I actually think Lynh can help. Not sure he will master all the X's and O's of a GM's responsibilities, but I feel he's got the people skills to keep Kyle focused etc.
I hope so, this losing s**t is getting old.
"This losing s**t" is what happens when you have the worst defense in the NFL the year before and one of the lowest ranked offenses the year before. (Due to a lack of talent on both sides of the ball and poor coaching) It's also what happens when Brian Hoyer s**ts the bed. He show3d much better play last season. Enough to be considered a viable bridge QB.
Our 2016 team SUCKED. Baalke put us in a hole with drafts that didn't restock the team with talent. We also had a bunch of players quit or retire over the last few seasons.
The roster at the end of 2016 was nothing close to the roster at the end of 2010. Our 2010 roster had a bunch of good players that had been misused. We just had to add a couple key players and better coaching. The situation in 2017 was entirely different. The 2016 Rams were similar to the 2010 49ers.
Turning this ship around wasn't going to happen in one offseason. WE HAVE BEEN VERY COMPETITIVE IN THREE OF OUR FOUR LOSSES. Games lost by a combined nine points? Bad QB play, drops, penalties, bad calls by refs and very poor defensive play one game vs the Rams. Last year games were over by the third quarter. We were getting blown out. Not this year.
There has been progress on defense. We no longer have the worst defense in the NFL. On offense the biggest issues are QB play, blocking and drops. We can address that by bringing new players in. We couldn't address both defense and offense early in the 2017 draft. We chose to fix the defense. IMO we will focus on offense early in the 2018 draft. Thomas and Foster in the first round was a great. Most everyone in the media agreed with this. We addressed the NFL's worst defense. Especially our run D. We went front 7 and CB with our first three picks. It's obvious Lynch wanted to fix the defense. Shanahan then went offense in the later rounds and did a good job. Beathard, Taylor and Kittle don't seem to be bad picks. Williams hasn't played yet. I'm looking forward to Shanahan's early offensive picks in 2018. I'm also looking forward to Beathard starting a couple games this year. This will eventually happen. He has Alex Smith like potential IMO. He could also bust out. Who knows.
Anyway, if we get Cousins I can see us drafting defense/pass rusher first round but if we don't get Cousins I see us going QB. Maybe Shanahan goes QB late first/early second? Who knows...what I do know is we'll have a new QB on this roster in 2018. If we don't then I'll join the doubters.
If Brian Hoyer is the long term QB for the 49ers I'll be very angry. I don't think that was the plan. I think it's obvious we were waiting for either Cousins or the 2018 draft.
Going in circles and to the point. One offseason is not enough time to address all of the needs this team had. One offseason is not enough time to address all the needs this team had. One offseason isn't enough time to address all of the needs this team had. One offseason was not enough time...
