umm yea. its happened before... so relax guys. Thomas' reasons for not attending had zero to do with race. + Show Spoiler + here is Tim THomas' comment about why he decided not to go "I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government. Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL" i pretty much agree with Tim THomas' comments here. There is no race component. if you'd like to continue the debate i'll be happy to take it up in the US Politics thread, Thomas is not batshit insane. I do not agree with every word that comes out of his mouth but that does not make him insane. More or less i share Mr. Thomas' opinion that the USA has slowly morphed into a 2 party dictatorship over the past 150 years. | ||

If you told anyone this a few years ago they'd slap you upside the head and ask you if you were okay. | ||

I only went through once, but definitely seemed limited on options. I never got any options to make a trade based on my choices. Still, I don't mind where I ended up at. SF has a lot of rebuilding to do and huge money to a QB is not a good way to rebuild. Results: + Show Spoiler + Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart: 1) Brian Hoyer 2) Brad Kaaya 3) Christian Ponder FA money spent: $15 million Draft picks spent: R2 You played a prudent game here, passing on the big names in the trade market and in the draft. Overall, that strategy makes sense. You've acquired a veteran like Brian Hoyer who should be ready to step in as your starter immediately, especially given his experience in Kyle Shanahan's offense. Hoyer can start for a year or more, until you feel like Brad Kaaya is ready for his moment in the spotlight. Allowing Kaaya that extra development time will be crucial for his future. Once again, you made a smart and wise decision by adding Christian Ponder as your 3rd stringer. If Hoyer gets hurt (as he's prone to do), Ponder can immediately leap into that caretaker/bridge role until your staff feels confident in Kaaya. Your depth chart gets knocked slightly for its lack of major upside, but there's no denying you're a savvy GM who knows what he's doing. grade: B+ | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart: 1) Matt Schaub 2) Brad Kaaya 3) Christian Ponder FA money spent: $5 million Draft picks spent: R2 Matt Schaub may be listed as the starter on the pre-season depth chart, but this will be Brad Kaaya's job sooner or later, maybe even by opening day. And that may be okay. Kaaya may not be John Elway in terms of physical skills, but he comes into the NFL with three years of starting experience. He's most likely more ready to play than other rookies in his class, and could be able to log the majority of the snaps for you this season. He'll be aided in that cause by a veteran like Schaub, who has extensive experience with the Kyle Shanahan system, dating back to Kyle's first OC post with the Houston Texans. Furthermore, Christian Ponder adds another veteran with starting experience. Both of them don't need many practice reps, which allows Kaaya to soak in all the time he needs. There's no guarantees of success here, but Kaaya couldn't ask for a better situation and better mentors around him. You've done an admirable job building around him. grade: B+ | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart: 1) Jimmy Garoppolo 2) Christian Ponder 3) C.J. Beathard FA money spent: $31 million Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall), R2, R4 Coach Kyle Shanahan and the entire front office are concerned that you gave up too much for Jimmy Garoppolo. He may turn out to be a solid starter, but there's no guarantee of that. Fortunately, the rest of your depth chart protects you well. Christian Ponder may be hated by NFL fans, but he's an experienced veteran who can fill in as a starter in the case of emergency. C.J. Beathard is also in a good situation for himself here, with two veterans taking the pressure off him. He should develop into a high-level backup for you. If Garoppolo works out, Jimmy G. and C.J. may be locking down your depth chart for the next ten years. Overall, you've done a solid job with this depth chart, dinged somewhat for the natural risk of the Garoppolo deal. grade: B | ||

The price is wrong since I think they'd give up a 2nd this year and a first next or something like that. Offer Bill 2 2nd and 2 fourths and I think his pants get tight. the story for talking with Bill was pretty good though. + Show Spoiler + Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart: 1) Jimmy Garoppolo 2) Christian Ponder 3) C.J.

Isn't this Matt Flynn 2.0 (except Matt Flynn looked better)? I mean, its POSSIBLE that he's the next Steve Young. But we have about as much film saying that that we do saying Matt Barkley is the next Otto Graham. | ||
