We finally have a path

[TheMarathonContinues]

All off-season the thing that drive me craziest was the insane mixed messages.

We don't sign CeeDee until camp closes.
We come out of gate flat as can be.
We extend Dak and CeeDee to massive deals but only very last minute when roster is set.
We let the Coaching staff ride on lame duck status.
We allow guys to wlak in free agency and offer no effort to replace them other than maybe a guy will be there in the draft.

No cogent plan whatsoever.


Now there is one.
The boomerang year.
You fall dead then get up and go try to win it in 2025.
The 49ers have done this recently for reference.

Why would this make sense?
You reset the roster. --quite possibly with DLaw and Martin leaving.
And add high picks in every round.
You either get a new staff or you are forced to commit to the one you have.

Now you can let veterans heal properly and you can play young guys hoping to find a couple solutions.
Pressure is off. For now.

I agree I think ultimately you are gonna need to find Law and Martin replacements. New head coach and OC and DC.

So they give up a high #4 for a bench warming WR on the worst team in football that very well could have been cut next year.
Starting off great with those draft picks that they’ll need to rebuild/replace with.

Jerry wants Dion‘s son, almost as bad as he wanted Johnny Manziel
But I still can’t understand the part where he resigned Prescott
It must’ve been a wedding present, lol
this season was a tank all along, he just couldn’t tell anybody
That’s why he took Trey Lance without telling the head coach or the quarterback

Maybe they keep him waiting for a bit and unleash him

Give out player opportunity but without more than a gamble. That is only in a loose abstract. Disciplined strength backed by top shelf producers.

 

[baltcowboy]

Just frustrates me because this 4th will likely be so high it's almost a third. It' is obvious we placed more value on him because he has a CHEAP contract. Seems to be our single biggest objective with player acquisitions.

It was a Jerry trade no doubt. The worst part of the deal was it just shows everyone Jerry is still in charge. I think he purposely made that trade to prove a point. Same with the Lance trade.

 

[KJJ]

We have a path that looks like a deserted road with a ditch at the end of it.

 

[J_Allen]

You can trade back and get a 3rd or 4th round pick. Don’t get me wrong the trade was an overpay but 4th round picks are not hard to recoup.

I wish someone would take Dak off of our hands for a fourth round pick.

It definitely was the plan to tank this year. They didn't try to resign or sign anybody.

 

[plasticman]

And we know how well Jerry does with high draft picks.

2016 - Which would have been the better pair of #4 and #45 overall draft picks, RB Ezekiel Elliot and LB Jaylon Smith or CB Jalen Ramsey and RB Derrick Henry?

2003- #5 overall, Terrence Newman or Troy Polamalu?

2002 #8 overall S Roy Williams or DE Dwight Freeney?

1998 #8 overall, DE Greg Ellis or WR Randy Moss?

2012 #5 overall, CB Morris Claiborne or CB Stephon Gilmore or G David DeCastro and LB Robert Wagner (Dallas traded their #14 and #45 overall to get #5 overall)?

There is only one way to truly reset this franchise and we all know what that is. Otherwise, we are just trading out one set of disappointments for another.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Yeah, let's pretend Jerry and son are capable of such forethought. The Niners don't give out stupid contracts that hamstring them for years. I'll be shocked if they resign Purdy to anything close to what Dak got.

"Let's be a lot better next year" is not really a plan, it's a hope.

And if the plan was to start to rebuild next year, you don't extend Dak this year and handcuff yourself for the near future.

 

[DandyDon52]

I'm sure we can take comfort in all these words of wisdom. They claim they have been overspending and send people packing. Then they say they are gonna make these players earn their money and see how it goes. Then at the last minute, they turn around and sign CD and Dak to a record setting contract. Lies and more lies,what's next?

more lies of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!
more koolaide and many will drink it again!

Jones boys seem to have a plan for 25, but maybe they dont ??

Jerry likes to be in the news and have people talking about the cowboys.
The problem is he is realizing they talk about cowboys when they are bad too, so why go all out to have a good team??
Jerry makes $ if the team is good or bad.
They could be 0-17 and idiots will still fill his jerry dome, and suffer thru the sun in the eyes ! lol (and media will still talk cowboys)
He cant lose partly because people are so stupid.

anyone want to tell him? it seems JJ cant get it through his head.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

That's not a plan.

That isn't even making lemonade when life gives you nothing but lemons.

That is eating your sh!t sandwich and pretending that you are happy about it.

 

[Sarge]

One problem. 49ers have talent. We are AWFUL. Bad comparison.

[chagus]

So the current path leads to a cliff, where you can’t tell there is a cliff. Fall off regardless.

Fans are not as blind and the person leading us to that cliff.

2024 for this team has been one bad decision after another. Only a true miracle can save this season.

This already went over the cliff.

I love the optimism, but you really need to face facts here. Nothing is going to change next year. We aren't a player or two away. DLaw, despite all the negativity, is one of the best run stoppers on the team. He will need to be replaced. Martin has dropped off. He will need to be replaced. Same with Steele. You are gonna need to make a decision on Parsons. If we trade him, he will need to be replaced. We have no #2 at WR, maybe it is Mingo, but who knows. That needs to be addressed. We have zero run game. Rico probably gets resigned, but is that really the solution? Who is our starting DT. Mazi? He needs to go. Both of our safeties need to be addressed.

Then you have coaching staff. Bill's not likely to come unless Jerry hands over the keys. Dieon? We would need to draft his son.

So all of that to say, this franchise is a disaster right now. It's not getting better. And as bad as it is this year, Dak's cap number next year is twice as high (44m this year, 89m next year). Sure that will get adjusted, but that will just screw us for years to come.

There is no miracle. There is no plan. We, as fans, just need to wait out Jerry's last years and hope the family decides they have enough money and are ready to sell the team. Because look no further than the Raiders to see what will happen if they dont.

wrong!!!!

dude how could you keep saying that???!~!!~!!

there is no way of Dallas front office wanted to lose this year to get a quarterback after 4th rounder Lance is sitting as the 3rd, signed Prescott and lamb to their deals, that would be a true reset??? Tank??!!

NOT AT ALL,

if you want to get as high as you can the draft ,a true tank, it's not signing two of the better in the NFL to HUGE deals, you're never going to convince it's me they did this on purpose this is just Jerry in the front office making bad decisions that make it look like they wanted a tank , Nope just was that bad an offseaosn.

but I'm sorry, you don't do all those things that they did leading up to game one and say that their intention was to tank,

they would have tried to trade Prescott in February, they would have asked him would he like to go elsewhere while the QB market was wide open with options, because they want to move on for him and have no intentions of signing him and seeing he wanted to be traded... same thing with lamb, they would have let him hold out like other teams there are other teams out there that let Redick hold out for like 8 games, then they signed him to what they thought was comfortable ,that's what you do I don't think jamar chase ever got his deal did he I can't remember ?? but there are teams that decide they're not signing a player and they have good reasons to do it lie to TANK! you don't go sign your best players and then expect to lose you don't bring back your coaching staff that you thought Mike McCarthy may have had one more opportunity he did not purposely bring back Mike McCarthy because he didn't want to pay his one year deal that he didn't want to eat that money?? lmao 4.5 MIl? so instead he pays all the biggest money to some record-breaking contracts that's your feeling in your eyes and your perspective they did that to lose??!!!

they brought back MM, Dak and Lamb to Tank??

No, the truth is obvious,

he believed that Mike McCarthy had another 10-12 win season left and maybe they were going to get better by the playoffs and maybe have one last small window open to do so and he wanted Mike McCarthy to finish what he started, 36 wins 2 div tiles and 3 straight playoffs ie 2nd seed home game is why he was back in jerrys eyes,

then you have 8 injuries to some really key positions and then you struggle at other positions and some of the rookies didn't come along for some of the second year players but in the front office mind these things were not going to happen , and they thought they had a chance , it flopped , and now we have an accident that put us on track to get higher draft picks and maybe Jerry to be embarrassed enough to have a little bit better off season next year...

he'll be a little more encouraged with a new coaching staff and some players retiring and knowing the mistakes he made this year he will have one of those bounce back years like in 2016 when we picked up Ezekiel Elliott after the year before trying to go with running back by committee...

This year shaping up a whole lot like 2015 or 2020 and immediately Jerry was a little bit more aggressive and tried a little bit harder and he just fell into it his bad decisions were all stacked and it seems like their direction was taking and I'm telling you you're 100% off base and 100% wrong nothing they did with Prescott land and McCarthy said that they were trying to take they would have allowed those players to sit they would have forced them to hold out they would have tried to trade them you don't sign players to those types of deals and hope to take because you're telling me he didn't wanna lose 5 million firing Mike McCarthy but hands that 60 million without any other bidders at the moment that's a record-breaking NFL deal the most guaranteed money ever you sign a guy to that is your key that they were taking and they had an opportunity just to leave lamb on the bench that would have been tanking when you signed one and then decide to sign the other your intentions were to win this year that is a fact because we have the proof just because we're losing and now we make it higher draft picks and are having a bad season doesn't mean that was the plan...
