I would absolutely rather have Mitch than Gabagool. Its not even close if you factor in the contract situation.

The GM's main job is really just to manage the cap and keep things tidy. There is very little skill involved with the draft, its really a crapshoot. Sometimes you can find a true diamond in the rough but mostly its making what are really just informed gambles. It is impossible to really tell if a player will put in the work necessary to be a pro player or whether they will be handle the speed of the pro game. There are ways to guess, but there are no ways to know.

Pace does a good job drafting when you accept that reality. If you refuse to accept that reality you will never be satisfied.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

He passed on both QB's in the Superbowl last night.

The Niners can release Jimmy G right now, not a huge cap hit. There's an out in the contract. He was the weak link, he'll be the weak link next year.. I'd cut him. He's better than Mitch but he's a game manager, easily replaceable.

I think you're selling Mahomes short

His development would have been stunted, but no way in hell would Mahomes have let a few bad coaches ruin all the talent he has.

It's not just his arm. It's so many intangibles too. He just has "IT." And no amount of bad coaching was gonna hold that down forever.

But he probably wouldn't have truly excelled until Chicago gave up on him, lol

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I, too, am waiting for the conclusion of the 2020 season.

I've come around to accept that some of Antarctica' s logic is true. Pace has made some good draft picks. He did improve a garbage roster.

BUT....his highlight as a 12-4 season with a first playoff game exit based on playing a 3rd place favorable schedule. He missed horribly on QB and gave away a lot of get him.

I think he missed on the Head Coach, as well. after 2020 concludes he'll be looking at one year left on his contract. Another 8-8 season and playoff miss and he has to be let go. It's just not good enough.

No more proof needed.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

People want to fire him for literally one wrong move and hiring a middling coach.

And there was no way in 2016 of knowing this would shake out the way it did. There is not some eight ball teams can look into. (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky showed no less at UNC than Mahomes at TT. Part of the job is projectability but Mahomes question marks coming out of school were plenty. Still it was not the right pick, nobody will deny it. But I'm not going to crucify him over it until he doubles down it, like the way SF doubled down on Gabagool (who is no better than Mitch) with that massive extension that will cause their precipitous fall from grace.

As for hiring Nagy. You get one interview with the guy and have to just go on gut instinct the rest of the way. There was no way of knowing that Nagy would retreat into his Be You. playsheet and run the same plays for thirty-three straight games.

Pace has done a very good job. You would be very lucky to replace him with somebody as good as him at drafting and free agency. It would be extraordinary to find someone better.

I have seen enough to grant him the position in perpetuity, even through some lean years, as long as he doesn't grow despotic or incompetent.

The issue isn't that he chose wrongly between (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky and Watson or Mahomes. What you say is accurate about the draft evaluations of them.

The issue is he was so scared of having to draft either Watson or Mahomes that he traded up one spot on the off chance that someone came in and "took" (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky from under him. That's why his judgement was so far off. There isn't a case to be made that you give up significant draft capital because you may lose out on your favorite of three quarterbacks that are all rated similarly.

Think about the mindset he had to have on draft day. He not only thought (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky was the best option but he was so far ahead of him that he wouldn't be able to handle it if he lost out on him for Watson or Mahomes.

Add in the fact that he seemingly did very little scouting of the other quarterbacks, or even (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky, and it does become something that will haunt him his whole career.

The coach is going to nosedive them to six wins (or maybe even fewer) next year. They have a really good roster but coaching is just too important in the NFL for even the best rosters to overcome the likes of Nagy.

Next year they press the reset button on the coach and quarterback again. I see no reason to not let Pace get an opportunity to learn from his mistakes and get another crack at it.

yes, it is possible they are worse next year. The Defensive roster is good. The offense....no, it's not good.

It will be a very tough sell for Pace to explain his hand selected coach was a failure and that he deserves to be extended. It would be very Bears-like for that to happen. The McCaskey's probably love Pace.

Pace isn't Emery level bad at GM, but he's not good either. This will be a power struggle. I just can't see the Pace surviving the heat of another bad season. This team is all his....the good and the bad.

I have no idea why he brought Massie back.

You only fire Pace if you think you can hire someone who will do a better job going forward. Do you think it is even remotely likely they find someone better?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I wouldn't say he's better than (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. He had a great running game, great offensive line and an elite TE. His pass completions still traveled the shortest distance of any QB in the NFL. He looked like he was afraid of the moment.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Do you think the Niners win if Andy Dolton is the QB yesterday?

If Ted Phillips is still running things, then this is just an exercise in futility. Nothing will matter until he is gone in my opinion.
