What exactly does that mean? Lynch and Shanahan got him and now they keep rebuilding. Do you ever read what you type before you hit enter?

I don't follow SF.

But I know many people (including you I believe) who said York was bad for the team. I was asking about the Front office and scouting.

Lynch is the GM, Shanahan is the coach. They have complete control and are rapidly changing the team. Navarro Bowman was let go as an example. Good times in the Bay, upwards and onwards is a lot easier to deal with now that we have a leader.

Watch this.

double post.

^^ Thanks, AO.

cheers

Jimmy played alright. Sf d was the difference. Jimmy looks good. Cards are a bunch of morons to not grab him. They have probably the worst qb situation in the lg.

not surprising that they missed out on picking him up..

admittedly it's a small sample size, but jimmy GQ seems to be the real deal....some people in NE think he'll be back there before too long taking over for #12.

btw, how about the patriots picking up harrison? belichick is crafty.

Who would that be Ray?

there is speculation that gruden might go back and coach the raiders...with a possible ownership stake as part of the deal.

carr would obviously benefit significantly if this comes to pass.

I’m all for it.

They’re dreaming. Trading him was a colossal mistake by NE. Barring a major injury, he’ll be in SF for the next 10 years.

perhaps they should have traded him earlier...but they wanted to make sure brady had something left in the tank.

they really had no choice but to let him go due to the price of the franchise tag.

let's see if he signs a long term deal with SF.

Belichick is a prick. Picking up that fossil from the scrap heap was just his way of saying “fuck you” to the Steelers. There is a reason why Harrison wasn’t getting any playing time in Pittsburgh. Old age.

Not a mistake at all - the right thing to do.


10 years?

No.

Nobody stays anywhere for 10 years these days,

Tell us, Coach Lombardi, why was it the right thing to do?

Brady, Rivers, Brees, Roethlisberger, Manning, Flacco, Rodgers, and Ryan say differently.

the franchise tag.

had they kept garrapolo with the franchise tag, then 33% of their total salary cap space would have been allocated to QB.

the only way you keep garrapolo is to trade brady...and that's just not going to happen for a number of reasons.

Seattle v. AZ

Pete C summed up what I thought throughout the game. This game was a "micro-cosm" of the entire season.

Ifedi contined with his penalties, the most penalized player in the NFL. Some dropped passes, Russel Wilson running around, gaining rushing yards and hitting Baldwin for gains.

And touche - Blair Walsh missing another fucking kick.

The Seahawks will look different next year. Age and contracts.

Thought the Cards looked good this year all things considered. I mean when you're going back and forth between 2nd and 3rd string QB's, and when 20+ players are on your team that weren't even there before the reg. season started, and you still manage to finish strong beating several decent teams to go .500 I think that's objectively impressive (cue the hater brigade).

Speaking of which, Drew Stanton is now 7-1 in his last 8 starts. The dude is just a winner. Or as Sam calls him, "the worst backup QB in the NFL".
