We needed a backup QB.
We got one with upside and recent experience.
Which QB were we to pickup with the pick we spent?
Doesn't matter. Our experienced GM with access to more knowledge and resources chose Sam over whoever that would have been.
How easy must it be to cast him away and think...
Howell was on a piece of shit team.
He's not him, but just look back at Peyton's first year numbers.
Change of scenery can do wonders.
As we were positioned this year, we're better off with Howell's experience and potential upside vs. whichever QB we could have drafted with his pick.
Had power 5 offers but wanted to stay loyal to the program that believed in him initially.
Great post pick interview.
Pro day at Ohio St was stellar.
This guy will grow on the doubters.
"The conversation has been nonstop"
Because of him, and people like him with nothing better to discuss as all draft talk has been beaten into oblivion.
He listened to Williams quote then quickly disregarded it all while comparing NE, SF, Dallas and GB.
Mcdonald removed the highlights from ONE...
Geno made some mistakes.
Bengals DB's made some damn good plays today too.
That was more pressure than Geno's faced in a while. Contributing to decisions he made.
There were coaching decisions that weren't great.
There IS plenty to be optimistic about.
This was a tough game against what is a...
Down both our tackles and Walker got a whopping 3 carries in the second half.
Multiple issues from that alone.
TOP was absurd too.
There is so much blame to spread all around here, this is an incredibly awful thread.
After last year?
He's an odd = bad, even numbered year = good.
This is an odd numbered year (2023) we'll see if he breaks that streak.
Last year he was great tho.
We lowkey want to bomb the season for a high draft pick, right?
If he sucks so bad then he's perfect for the role.
It would be major for the locker room in building unity amongst a rebuild. Don't play naive and forget who our players are and where the majority aligns.
And he'd suck so we get...
It's part of my point, he's not going to be any worse than the expectations we have of the two we have ready to take the helm.
Niners as a whole fell apart, not just him.
If we're expecting dogshit, let's make some noise doing so. From a ownership standpoint, the man will sell a ton of...
Give me Kap.
All day, every day, twice on game day.
You want to establish a harmonious locker room?
You bring that man in and really re-establish the culture.
We all witnessed a resurgent Ryan Tannehill after a team and culture switch with an accompanying solid running game.
By most accounts, Lock has a better arm than Tanny ever did.
I'm all for riding Lock until the lock gets picked one too many times.
Because he is obviously a point of contention.
Shitty run defense?
Sure.
The potential he has finally showing is really fresh breath.
I hope this is the boost of confidence the guy needs.
