Now that Sashi is gone, this franchise is looking up. We have a lot of picks and cap space. Dorsey wants to win now. Don't listen to the half-dozen or so haters, this franchise is trending upwards.

Sure hope so. I've been on this board awhile. Since original DawgTalkers. There's only been three seasons where I've seen any hope. William Green Rookie Year (God that was exciting), DA 10-6 with KW2, Winslow, and BE. And when we were 7-4 with the Kyle Shannahan/Brian Hoyer connection.


It's just really hard not to feel beaten down.

I'm excited about Dorsey, but bad things always seem to happen to this franchise. That's why I fear that the Rookie QB we want will refuse to sign with us ALA Eli Manning and John Elway.


Jesus I wish we could have just gotten Garapollo. I was pretty pissed when I saw that trade go down. Even if he didn't want to come here, we could franchise tag him or transition tag him. I think he was a freakin RFA next year. So we'd have a minimum of two years with him before having to make the long-term deal work.

Get the guy and worry about the details later. A 2nd and 3rd would have done it. We got two extra 2nds and and extra 3rd for goodness sake.



Either way, hopefully we got the right GM and we can look forward instead of backward.

If that is TRUE why didn't New England say hey Sashi give us a 2 and 3 and he's yours? Why did they keep saying he wasn't on the block? saywhat

Beats me.

But why wouldn't they trade him for more than they got from the 49ers?

My buddy who was a Pats fan was upset when he saw the trade.

I find it hard to believe, the Pats decided to be nice to him or something, and not send him to Cleveland. Maybe they didn't want him in the AFC. But I don't think it was "Doing him a favor" or something like that.

I never saw anywhere that it was reported or stated that the Browns KEPT asking the question, can you provide a source or where you heard that ?? ... The Browns FO should have been asking, that's their job/due diligence. I did hear Peter King state that the 49ers DID keep asking the question .... and they were rewarded with a trade. Peter King also indicated the Browns basically accepted the JG wasn't for trade and didn't stay in touch and keep asking the question....

I think that we were done once Garoppolo said that there was no way he'd sign a long term deal here.

I think that Garappolo told the Browns that there was 0 chance that he would re-sign with them, and that ended the interest Sashi had in him.

I agree w/this. I read where the Brown's interest before the draft was luke-warm. I don't think they stayed after it. Apparently, SF did.

I think this was yet another huge reason for the divide between the coaching staff and Sashi.

Wouldn't that have been tampering? Are you allowed to talk to players from other teams about contracts and trades?

Isn't he a RFA after the year? So, theoretically, we could have thrown the maximum RFA Tag on him 1&3 and then franchised/transition tagged him next year. Who would be able to beat us with a transition tag? We have the cap space to win that battle

We tell him that it's either that or he signs a normal extension. I bet he'd have signed.

Had we traded for him, the ball would have been in OUR court.


I think a lot of this stuff is reaching. As Vers said, I think Sashi dropped the ball. One of the main reasons he got fired.



The only other reason would be New England doing him a favor. And I just don't see that being the case. That or New England not wanting to trade a potential franchise QB to the AFC

I seriously doubt that BB feared trading JG to us because we are in the AFC. LOL


I have read a lot of excuses for Sashi over the past couple of years. Schwartz, Mack, Wentz, Gipson, Garoppolo, 3 QBs who have never even won an NFL game, etc....... Seems like a pattern.

I think Sashi was terrible. Glad he's gone and we have Dorsey here.

I think Dorsey will work w/Hue rather than undermining him.

JMO

I believe Sashi dropped the ball, Bill didn't want to trade Garrapolo in the AFC, and Bill wanted to make sure he got Hoyer as a backup QB since New England didn't even have another QB on their roster. We had three strikes against us when it came to getting Garrapolo.

I think that Sashi had some interest in JG, but stopped pursing after NE didn't trade him before the draft.

“We don’t know this, so I’m theorizing here, but that trade fell into their laps. And it fell into their laps, I believe, in large part because Bill Belichick and the Patriots organization had as much respect and good feeling for John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan as they did. Because the Cleveland Browns had been calling the Patriots last spring over and over. They tried apparently this fall and never got to first base with them. And then Monday morning, the day before the trade deadline October 30th, 49ers just sitting there, and the Patriots call.

“Patriots: 'I think we're open to trading Jimmy G. You want him? Interested?'

49ers: 'Yeah.'

Patriots: 'Ok.'

“And that trade takes all of five minutes to agree to because the Patriots came to that point. Now, again, the 49ers are in the right conference, out of conference, but I'm telling you, I believe in my heart that the respect that Bill Belichick had for John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan factored into the decision to make that call to that place that morning.

“Now look, it didn’t drive, ultimately, you've got to get what you think is fair compensation but the time was right, New England had made the decision that they had to move on, and when it looked out at the landscape of NFL teams, I think they liked and respected the people with the 49ers organization. And, as much respect as the Patriots have for Jimmy Garoppolo, they wanted to place him in a place that they thought would treat him the way that they thought he should be treated, and that was the 49ers."
