Tanking? | Page 41 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Would you be opposed to this team just completely tanking in hopes of landing Bosa or Oliver? Or do you want to see these guys rally around CJ and try to finish we a respectable record?

Wait what is happening in this thread? We likely just lost our shot at Bosa and now desperate fans (I get it) are suddenly on the Denver will trade us Chubb train? Why on earth would Denver give up Chubb? They just drafted him and he had a good year.

The fans are now desperate for solutions. Very high possibility that Lynch will skip the Edge need in the first round and pick the BPA.

We were never tanking. The fans were wrong as usual.

Who remembers those Tim Rattay wins? Anyone? Hows about those by Hill? Dilfer? Pickett? The Black Smith?

Hard to imagine what decent ER will be available in FA. We already have Cassius.

Dude they aren't giving up Chubb.

I mean... I would have a little Chubb if we got a little Chubb.

Very high possibility that this is nothing more than an assumption at this point.

We are so far out from the draft and having a better idea of what the top 10 will look like. We also have no idea as to what FA will bring.

Players play for their future.

Coaches coach for their future.

If any coach were to make a blatant move to ensure a loss and a better draft position, he would lose the support of the team. Especially a young team.

It.

It's really not hard to get. 99% of people saying they want to tank know the team will never purposely tank. In fact I would be pissed if KS purposely tanked. It's his job to win games.

We went from 100% picking Nick Bosa, to there being a high chance that we'll skip the need and draft BPA. It is no longer a sure thing anymore that we will solve the edge need in the offseason. Go in with low expectations.

We never had a shot at Bosa. We were never going to have the #1 pick bc of SOS.

If I were a betting man, I would put money on us adding 1-2 edge rushers in the off-season.

What a clown post. Of course they will address the need, and they have plenty players to choose from.

We had the number one pick coming into this Seattle game, so yes we had a shot at it.
