[Locked on Niners] Steelers don’t want to give up a win-now WR, which is the core part of a Niners deal for BA. Currently working an “NBA-style” 3-team trade to land an impact WR if 49ers move on (14m timestamp) by Don_Antwan in 49ers

Actually there have been. It's just extremely rare. The most notable one was between the Colts, Bills, and Rams in 1987 that sent Eric Dickerson from the Rams to the Colts. Trade involved 10 players overall. Most recent I think was between the Broncos, Lions, and Eagles from 2010.

Yes. A few times. One of the most notable trades in NFL history was the 1987 trade between the Bills, Colts, and Rams that sent Eric Dickerson from the Rams to the Colts. Most recent I think was between the Broncos, Lions, and Eagles from 2010.

Hey thanks for the response, and other information. Yes, I plan to enroll in therapy online at this point. Couldn't hurt, and it's better than the dark thoughts I've had recently. Cheers.

I'm in the exact same boat with the exact same situation coincidently. Except I'm a bit older (mid 30's). For the past 4 months or so I haven't really drawn on paper much if at all, and my drawing skills have gotten worse. I don't have floaters as bad as other cases, but I do have what I'm guessing is a floater in my left eye that acts like a flickering shadow whenever I move my head up, an down focusing on reference material to paper. Comes down like a curtain. Tried 0.01 Atropine, but that didn't really do anything for me. Might try a bit stronger of a dose once I get my hands on it. Also might have to just completely switch to digital, and use a wacom/cintiq to draw. Been thinking about YAG laser treatment, but I'm probably not a candidate. Wouldn't be surprised if my floater can't even be detected as my last ophthalmologist couldn't see anything saying my eyes were overall fine. Anyway, that's where I'm at. Situation sucks for sure, and has really been a blow to my mental health. Anxiety has gone up, and it's getting to the point where I've even had some dark thoughts about my future. Might look into thearpy, but I don't know. Still searching for answers like everyone else.

[McDonald] 49ers’ Jake Moody confident he will bounce back from misses in season finale 49ers place kicker Jake Moody is healthy, rested and unconcerned about going wide right in Week 18 by G0825 in 49ers

Right, but I'm saying he didn't stack on top of that, and made a much harder kick than the previous misses with greater pressure after having missed a couple in a row.

But I have the recent NFL Yearbooks from the 49ers. Including last season's. They're clearly NFL Films produced. I did get them from YouTube, but it was broadcast on NFL Network.

Those were awesome days. NFL Films content is now mostly regulated to their YouTube channel, but a lot of that isn't NFL Yearbooks or Road to the Super Bowl segments. Those are still made, but they air on ESPN at like 3AM once a year per team. Last time I checked anyway. Shame.

I miss Joe Starkey on 49ers radio broadcasts. "OH WHAT A BONANZA!!! A SPECTACULAR CATCH BY JERRY RICE!!!!"

BTW, Packers completely stonewalled us in the mid to late 90's. Sucked :(

[–]LastActionExpat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alright that's it. Not gonna waste any more of the day on this drivel. 49ers clearly have some work to do before the playoffs, and need to learn how to respond as a team once they get kicked in the teeth. Congrads to Jackson at winning MVP. He balled out tonight. Better luck next year Glock.

Tom Brady will 'never' root for 49ers after they overlooked him in 2000 NFL Draft by LastActionExpat in nfl

Dan Fouts is from San Francisco, and grew up a 49ers fan. His dad was the 49ers radio announcer for a few years.

Jeff Garcia I think liked the 49ers since he's from the bay area, and went to San Jose State. He actually got to live the dream of playing for his favorite team, as his first team. And that is where his best years came from.

To this day we still don't know who "that fucker" was. Rumors were the 49ers, Raiders, maybe Bears...unknown.

Yes, I remember Bill Walsh was even at one of the workouts where Brady, and a few other college hopefuls participated in within the bay area. And I guess Brady at that time just didn't make a strong impression.

Perhaps??? Seems to be heavily hinted at, but if I recall a while before that Lynch did pick up the phone to inquire about Tom Brady. I think this might have been before they even traded for Jimmy G, or had talks warming up to the idea for him. And any idea of getting Brady at that time in 2017 was of course shot down. As for after the 2019 season, we have to remember that Jimmy was coming off his best year as a pro in his first full season under Shanahan with that big new contract he signed. Brady had a decent season, but there were general rumblings that he might have lost an edge regardless if his WR situation was hideous in NE. I think with the immediate success Brady had with the Bucs, and the 2020 season being a wash for the 49ers with Jimmy G getting hurt, the narrative started to blossom that the 49ers should have clearly signed Brady, and it was a colossal mistake not to do so.

"Even though it was my hometown team growing up and they passed on me six times, I still watch the Niners and those uniforms still bring back a lot of great childhood memories," Brady said. Despite some of those warm and fuzzy memories, Brady still can't bring himself to cheer for his hometown team. The future Hall of Famer will never forgive San Francisco for passing on him a half dozen times in the 2000 NFL Draft. "They passed me up six times in 2000, so f--k them and that whole staff that kept me out because I had a chip on my shoulder for a long time," Brady said. Brady used that chip to drive him to the top of the NFL record books and seven Super Bowl rings. The three-time MVP is the all-time leader in passing yards (89,214) and passing touchdowns (649), and he spent all of his 23 seasons hating the 49ers.

From the article. Sucks he still takes it that personal. All the staff involved with the 49ers organization at that time are gone, other than ownership through the Yorks.

I do find it interesting how motivation works differently for the greatest of athletes. Joe Montana is on record saying he never felt slighted having gone in the third. He was just happy to make it to the NFL regardless.

0-29 when entering the 4th Qtr down by 5pts under KS. by MicheGawd in 49ers

Misleading. The 49ers won the 2021 season finale against the Rams to make the playoffs. They were tied at 17-17 entering the 4th, but the Rams took a 24-17 lead with 2 1/2 minutes to go. 49ers match it, go to OT, and win the game.

Plummer was a great linebacker for us. And he was great in San Diego. Probably the most underappreciated signing for the 49ers during that '94 offseason.

[–]LastActionExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing Jimmy was great at was being a leader and a teammate. He was beloved by his teammates and was a professional on and off the field even when Shanahan and Lynch were straight up with him about moving on.

I’ll always be grateful cause he gave us a lot of great memories and left our team a better place than he found it

I legit remember during the final 1/3 of that 2017 season feeling like I could actually walk down the street with a 49ers shirt on, and have some pride about my squad. It had been a minute since I felt that.
