Who gives a s**t about anyone else, are you content with not winning the Super Bowl when you're a winning team or you're just happy to be winning and that's it who cares about a Super Bowl that's stupid right.
We laugh at the Rams for giving up the farm for Myles Garrett. And laughed more because he needed surgery right after. Then Sunday came up with 3 sacks, I didn't hear anyone laughing then.
It's stupid because giving up a 3rd round pick for a half year rental on a player who isn't a full time starter is in fact stupid.
Khalil is 35 and will be 36 shortly after the SB. He's got 3 sacks on the year in 8 games and you want to send a 3rd round pick for him?
There is wanting the team to go for it and there is wanting a team to throw draft picks away well above cost for guys who aren't game changers. That's stupid no matter how you slice it.
Mack is 51st in the NFL in pressures this year. Would he help us? Sure. Would his addition make us dominant? No.
Once again why didn't the Bears throw a 5th or a 4th at them? Think other teams don't need pass rushers?
Didn't the 9ers just do a rental with Chase Young back in 2023? What was his ranked in pressures at the time, how much sacks did he produce during the 2023 season?
How many times has Lynch missed with 3rd round picks?
Tell me the Bears gave up two 1st round picks for a stud DT, why hasn't Lynch did that ever? How about even one 1st round picks?
And to repeat myself again, who cares what other teams did and didn't do!!! It's what the 9ers did and didn't do and I'll tell you what they sure as hell haven't won a Super Bowl I can tell you that!!!
The 49ers finally got to a point in their franchise where they and us fans expect to win. Now how about pushing a little more to get whatever help they can to win the Super Bowl!!!!
All these excuses for Lynch does one thing…..nothing.
When you're paying an elite QB you need draft picks to keep your roster stocked. We will keep a window open that way and improve our chances at a championship. I'd rather have Buckner for a couple mid-late round picks than Simmons for two firsts. And I'd rather have Keenan for a late round pick than Downs for two mid round picks. This FO has proven to trade with value and has a decent success rate doing so. The problem is our fans are just incredibly short-sighted. We have to balance keeping our Super Bowl window open with giving our team the best chance to win now. I think our FO has done a nice job between this offseason, this draft, and this trade deadline. It's almost comical that people still complain ad naseum.
We have not, historically under Lynch and co, done well in the first and to an extent the second rounds. That we can all agree with. So why the hesitnecy to trade those for a proven player that would really push us over the top vs aged players who are fill ins.
Pearsall had been a case of unforeseen bad luck. Strib looked like a stud before the injury. This is such a tired-ass argument. You don't just assume picks won't hit based off previous successes. We don't just assume we'll find all-pros in the fifth because we have before. Just like we don't just assume that an RB in the third is destined to bust.
But the proof is in the record. We are again competing for a championship thanks to our drafts, trades, and FAs. Yet guys like you just know better. Insufferable fans.
