There was no salary cap in existence during Danny White's career. Also, the 90s SB wins might not have happened if there was a salary cap in play since before the Herschel Walker trade.
Yes, we know, but it doesn't change what I previously said. We don't have the amount of talent that the 49ers have.
Maybe he was being sarcastic? I don't know...but I don't trust our weapons. CeeDee has proven to be good...but the rest of our WR corps is meh. Never understood how we were more comfortable spending money Michael Gallup....who was INJURED...than we were on keeping Cooper. No one will ever be able to convince me that we got rid of Cooper for anything else other than personal reasons.
This thread was initially about why the 49'ers can win with BP. The biggest reason is their GM and the culture he creates, not why we've ended up with our respective rosters.
I don't think its fair to these guys to just completely dismiss their play just because they have a good team. Purdy is playing well. Do I think he'd play as well on a team with a OC not as good as Shanahan like Kellen Moore? No. I think he'd probably struggle and be inconsistent here. He benefits from Shanahan's playbook and playcalling. BUT, that doesn't mean people could just slide in and do what he does because Trey Lance didn't look this good despite being in the league a year. So I guess the answer is maybe BOTH. Purdy looks good. And may actually be a good QB. Time will tell.
Cooper was way overpaid. 20+ million/year? Ouff, that's way too much especially for how Cooper would take plays off or even take himself out of key drives. During the playoff loss to the 49ers, even though Cooper scored a crucial TD, there were several key plays late in the game where he was taped going half speed and not making any effort to make any blocks downfield when other players were running with the ball. I'm pretty sure that was the straw that broke the camel's back for Jerry, and I don't blame him for cutting bait. As a business man and owner, I would have done the same. If I'm paying you $20+ million per year at the behest of the team AND YOU TAKE PLAYS OFF, ESPECIALLY DURING KEY GAMES, you're gone! Bye! I won't care who likes it or how it affects the team moving forward. I support Jerry for that move. Amari Cooper did it to himself for being traded...even for peanuts in return.
EXACTLY.
I'll stand by I wouldn't have traded Amari if all I could get was a 5th. BUT, the real issue was not replacing him and assuming Tolbert and Washington would be enough. Same mistake they made in 2018 thinking Allen Hurns was enough.
Uhhh, they both fall hand in hand. If you want to worship the 49ers, by all means, create a thread in the NFL Zone and worship them there to your heart's delight.
The first post you make that has any sense to it will be your first. Talk to any REAL football coach, etc and he will look at you and ask you if you are really that stupid.
You barely joined, and you're talking ish? Facts break your heart? Talk tough but can't handle some truth. Go worship Amari in Cleveland.
Their record on 2nd round picks isn't nearly as bad as people want to suggest. Trevon Diggs, Sam Williams, Kelvin Joseph, Trysten hill, Connor Williams, Chido, Jaylon, Randy Gregory, Demarcus Lawrence.....
How do y'all wake up so angry on a Sunday morning lol?
Listen...Jerry traded for him....extended him. If you felt Cooper was not the answer, then that is your prerogative to get rid of him...IF....IF...you have a plan for how you are going to replace the talent/production. Extending an injured Michael Gallup was NOT the answer. Again, this was a move out of emotion. Jerry can do that as the GM because he answers to himself. Hence the ultimate issue with the culture in Dallas.
Well, with him, that's all the data they have to go by. So it's fair.
Sorry, bro. I disagree.
No, Jerry made the right decision. He used Amari's $20+ million to resign a couple of other starters. His failure was banking on lesser talent to make up for Amari's loss.
