While we sucked no less. While he talked about his five year plan no less. Hey, we all know THAT guy isn't part of any five year plan so let's put in someone who could potentially be, even if only in a reserve role. Whitehead was about as bad of a starting LB that this team has ever fielded.

I'm so accustomed to this team making awful OL depth chart decisions that it's just become fully expected.

I think we'd be a contender for a playoff berth with Stafford. SB contender? Nah, I wouldn't go that far.

Maybe. But those rumors (even though they made no sense to me) were way too strong at the time for their not to be some fire behind the smoke and they were definitely watching Jones at his pro day with keen interest and their faces read deep concern.

Yep. I'm just thinking from the perspective of a good, aging QB. From that perspective, weapons are nice. They're awesome. But I'd rather be behind a good OL with lesser weapons than behind a porous OL with better weapons. I'm thinking that if the OL can keep me clean I'll find somebody but all the weapons in the world aren't gonna help me much if the defense is having a team meeting around me immediately after the snap every time I go to drop back and those hits are starting to hurt a lot more than they did a decade ago. Yeah, I'm going better OL over better weapons.

Or gotten killed behind this OL. If we had Stafford though, we'd probably be a very popular dark horse playoff pick. I can't blame Stafford for picking the LA situation. They're the better situation for an aging QB. Yeah, we have damn good weapons but our OL looks like trash on paper.

In other QB trade news, Adam Shefter is now reporting conclusively what was widely rumored back when the Niners traded for #3 - they made the move for Mac Jones. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32192632/sources-san-francisco-49ers-trade-no-3-draft-pick-spurred-concern-new-england-patriots-moving-mac-jones That look of deep concern Shanahan had on his face at Mac Jones' pro day makes a lot of sense assuming this is correct. Uh oh. This ain't that guy.

Yeah. We gotta rebuild Sam Darnold.

If we had Stafford we'd be in win now mode.

Detroit finally got one right after terribly botching the Barry Sanders and Megatron situations. Stafford was a good QB for them who they failed to build a team around. He wanted out and they were willing to sign off on sending him where he wanted to go as long as the trade compensation was in the ballpark of other offers. Good in them. Finally.

It's not just my opinion. There was a House investigation. They pretty much agreed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/06/amazon-apple-facebook-google-congress/

Daniels looked like the only think holding UGA back from competing for a championship this year against Clemson.

On my deck

I think my point has been proven and the inevitable racism bash is in full swing. We have a game in less than 24 hours. Now out of the Panthers forum with the non-Panthers topic.

I wouldn't at all expect it to be included with basic Prime membership. At some point, we're going to have to return to our early 20th century trust busting ways on Amazon.

When I give y'all what you wanted and it turns out exactly like I said it would, yeah I'm gonna rub your nose in it a bit.

When that truth sinks in...

Oh, I'm letting him. I told folks not to bother reporting the posts we all knew would be coming if I moved this thread back to the main forum. Now the reports are coming in.

You're just trolling and spewing hate. Just like I knew would happen because we've seen this play out hundreds of times. But for some reason some posters expected it to go differently this time.

Congrats @NAS and others. This is what you asked for.

Yeah, I'm not super optimistic right now but that's a wholly unreasonably pessimistic take.

I tried to move this thread to the lounge where it would be away from the prying eyes of the trolls and you complained about that. You don't want the trolls to be ignored. You want this poo show. Enjoy it. You asked for it.

I hope Rhule is the answer. I hope Darnold is the answer. But I definitely have my doubts. Considerably more about the latter than the former.

I think if you can't get excited about that season you're never gonna get excited.
