Yeah when his gambles fail he has nobody to answer to except maybe the media and the fans backlash..

He needs better advisors, better luck, and a little more patience. No more trading away two 1st rounders for a vet WR that can put us in the super bowl type of moves...

And whoever got in his ear and told him he could get far with bad o-line needs to come back and tell him they were just being facetious....

I am much more bullish Jerry the Owner,

Jerry the GM is like a mild case of herpes. Other STDs may be worse, but almost all can be cured. Herpes is for life. Even a mild case is not a good case.

That may be the most awesome analogy I've ever encountered.

Jerry is so bad that if he visited the set of...The Walking Dead. Darryl would put an arrow through his head. Just on looks alone.

This post is so full of the usual crying excuses sprinkled with "everyone hates us" bs. The 49ers are getting credit because they woke up, hired a real coach, put things in his hands and went on their way. They went from one of the worst teams to a top team overnight because they changed the culture with their coach. They then used extra draft picks to fill holes. A 3rd to move up 13 is a steal when you were just in the SB.

Jerry doesn't get the benefit because the culture is the same as it is every year...hired a coach in waiting who wasn't a great O Coordinator and who has made horrible game time decisions; taking over the draft; underplaying the Oline, etc. it's a joke.

Here is what I'll never get...I started watching in 1975-1976. In the midst of this era to Jimmy's we had winning seasons 26 of 31 years. We were Americas Team. We expected excellence. Now we have 17 years of .500 with a few good years sprinkled in and people seem fine with it. They make excuses despite a bad 3 year run right now. Jerry is supposed to be this smart business man but he FAILs Business 101 which says stick with the model that brought success. The Jimmy years. Instead he thought he could do it himself and here we are! Yet people are just supposed to sweep it all under the rug, ignore the gaffs and the media should be kind. The only time Jerry woke up is with Parcells. Was it perfect? No. But the team started coming out if the Campo days and things stabilized and started to improve.

We are one of only 6 teams in the WHOLE league to have 0-1 playoff wins in this down period. This isn't Americas Team or anything special. This is bad to mediocre. AND we are in a league filled with parity where luck changes year to year...except for us where we find a way just to be right in the middle. Sorry if people want to expect more and see Jerry actually go back to a winning business model. I refuse to expect less and until his plan starts producing more, this is what you'll see written here. It's not like we don't want wins and just want to rip Jerry.

James had soul and he was superbad.

Jerry has a face lift, liver spots and is superbad, just not in a good way.

If Parcells doesn't "save" our team in 2003.

We're looking at a pretty high 2004 draft pick. We get either Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, or Ben Roethlisberger. Or 2005 Maybe we end up getting Aaron Rodgers (assuming we aren't bad enough still to get Alex Smith).

Why didn't we draft a QB in 2004 or 2005? Because we had Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe to the rescue...

We get a quarterback early on and we stick with the 4-3, we would have had a very different last 10 years.

So you're blaming Parcells because he made the team better? :rolleyes:

It's absurd, isn't it? And it's devoid of any factual reasoning. QC wasn't released until August of 2004, well after the 2004 draft. Jerry wasn't going to draft another QB at that time until he saw what he had in Carter. Had Carter not failed his drug test, he would have still been QB and no one would have heard of Testaverde in Dallas.

And our 2005 draft was one of the best in recent Cowboys history post Jimmy Johnson. Who would you take in this QB draft class: Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Jason Campbell, Charlie Frye, Andrew Walter, David Greene, Kyle Orton, Stefan LeFors, Dan Orlovsky, Adrian McPherson, Derek Anderson, James Kilian, Matt Cassel, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Yes, some real saviors in there unless someone got lucky with the only franchise QB in the bunch which GB did with Rodgers in the bottom of the 1st after he slid.

"With Khan also pointing out that it’s important to hire competent football people and “hold them accountable,” the message is clear: Sign who you want (or don’t want), but if you don’t win, I’ll eventually make a change.

Along the way, Khan could make plenty of money with Tebow on the team. Khan is banking instead on a winning program generating even more of it."
