Sounds like we made the right call...

We seem to have some sort of fetish for being different than everyone. Listen, the NFL is a copycat league and being innovative can give you a big edge.

This poo isn't innovative, however. We tried that poo with Joe Brady and it failed. I don't see anything these fuging guys are doing that seems "innovative." They just need to be different than anyone else in the NFL for some reason and the results are in. fuging STOP.

This sums up the team for the last few years even before we got rid of Rivera. Double dipping and luxury picks screwed us as bad as well Hurney drafts add in some below mediocre coaching and you get the seasons we've had under Rhule. The one constant in the last few years is being different for no reason...and that doesn't even include the choice to go to turf.

... not trading for Jimmy Garoppolo.

The general issue with Baker Mayfield was supposed to be bad attitude. Garoppolo comes off as something worse here, specifically a bad teammate.

It was already likely to be difficult for the 49ers to get anything for him. This story certainly doesn't help.

Okay, and Baker was a locker room cancer who divided the locker room. Guess what we found out when he got here? 

Likely the same story with Gorropolo

But tell me, what do you really think of Matt Rhule?

Well, it appears that he has a good sales pitch. Oh and he was a short order cook too.

C’mon, even you know there’s no way we wouldn’t eat a large portion of his deal to get some savings and even a really late round pick. Little had $2.7M remaining on his deal. Bridgewater made $4.4M in Denver. Baker is making $4.86M with us. Yes, Little was less but it’s not a huge difference in contract numbers.

The only problem is that we seem to be in on all the former 1st round QBs that get traded after a team guarantees them a lot of money. Seems like something we don’t want to keep doing.

You assume that we would be willing to eat that same large portion of his salary. 

Notice how little speculation there is around a Sam Darnold trade. I would imagine that is because there are literally no suitors. If Jimmy G and Baker Mayfield had a combined total of one team with serious interest, there is basically zero likelihood of moving Darnold without begging and offering draft capital. There is little reason to do that and I don't think Rhule is interested in trading Sam.
