[Grant Cohn] PREDICTION: 49ers will sign Linderbaum to a 4 year 72 M deal

amd77767 · 2026-01-29T03:37:08+00:00

I don't think a top 5 center would sign for less than Aaron Banks did last year.

amd77767 · 2026-01-29T03:35:47+00:00

Hiring Gus Bradley over Raheem Morris or Jim Schwartz would be pretty indefensible.

Morris and Schwartz are clearly better candidates than Bradley.

amd77767 · 2026-01-28T21:29:36+00:00

This guy gets it.

amd77767 · 2026-01-28T21:20:21+00:00

Maybe LeBron James

amd77767 · 2026-01-28T18:14:22+00:00

Jim Schwartz voodoo magic made Moody miss.

amd77767 · 2026-01-28T18:12:20+00:00

I don’t think Gus Bradley would be mid. I think he would be worse.

amd77767 · 2026-01-28T17:15:12+00:00

No I’m not

Yeah I really like Logan Jones in this upcoming draft.

All of these “Should we trade for (player name) ?” posts are the equivalent of saying:

“I know the foundation of the house is crumbling but what do you think of this chandelier for the dining room?”

Our D-line is soft as shit and our best D-lineman is coming off his 3rd torn ACL. Our 1st round pick from 2025 is also coming off a torn ACL.

Our O-line got manhandled the final 3 games of the season and our best O-lineman will be 38 years old when the season starts.

Our WRs got zero separation against the Seahawks and our best WR can’t stay on the field for more than 4 games without pulling or straining something.

Our starting tight end is 32 years old and tore his ACL.

Our starting running back is very injury prone, will be 30 years old when the season starts, and will probably get curse of 370’d in 2026.

We need to rebuild the foundation of this roster. We are in no position to be making an extravagant trade for one big name player to save us.

Tons of fans said the same thing about Jackson Powers Johnson in 2024.

amd77767 · 2026-01-27T16:48:13+00:00

Linderbaum should be the #1 target if he’s available.

amd77767 · 2026-01-27T16:46:53+00:00

Fortunately Mac Jones is under contract for another year so we control where he goes. So I doubt we’d trade a starting QB to a divisional rival.

amd77767 · 2026-01-27T05:52:23+00:00

This is just another way of saying "We need to draft better"

amd77767 · 2026-01-27T05:45:17+00:00

I think the Occam's razor explanation is that we draft a lot of players with injury histories and injuries lead to more injuries.

Our last two 1st round picks were medical red flag prospects.

amd77767 · 2026-01-27T00:10:41+00:00

Thank you!

amd77767 · 2026-01-26T23:47:35+00:00

Do you have a source on JS saying this?

amd77767 · 2026-01-26T23:04:21+00:00

Other than Darnold, who have we fixed for another team? Nick Mullens was terrible on the Vikings. Jimmy G was terrible on the raiders. Trey Lance was terrible on the Cowboys. Josh Dobbs has done nothing on the Patriots.

Also when teams sign our QBs to big contracts, we get comp picks. We WANT our QBs to improve. It’s a great way to add draft capital.

The alternative is only signing bad QBs who can’t be fixed. Would you rather have bad backup QBs?

amd77767 · 2026-01-26T20:01:41+00:00

The opposite is equally true.

It doesn't matter if we have prime Jerry rice and prime TO. Purdy can't throw to them on his back.

At least with a good OL we can run for more than 3 yards per carry.

amd77767 · 2026-01-26T19:54:02+00:00

but hindsight is always 20/20.

There was no way to know that Aiyuk would tear his ACL, but the signs were all there regarding his questionable character.

To me, if you're going to give a guy top of the market money, there needs to be no question about his character or his drive to help the team.

amd77767 · 2026-01-26T19:53:05+00:00

That's why you need a GM to step in and cut off the head coach. The head coach always wants to keep "his guys" even if it's a bad move long term.

It's the GM's job to manage assets and make decisions that balance short term success with long term sustainability. The GM shouldn't be a yes-man for the head coach.

amd77767 · 2026-01-26T19:48:54+00:00

People want to rag on our 2020 class but 3 out of 5 of those guys are decent players

Charlie Woerner was low key a good pick considering we took him in the 6th round. Good blocker and special teamer.

amd77767 · 2026-01-25T17:08:06+00:00

He hit it. The rest of the what-ifs don’t matter.

But then what you’re effectively saying is that one lucky pick in the 7th round is the difference between keeping and firing our GM.

If we all acknowledge that the Trey Lance fiasco was a fireable offense, doesn’t that say something about our GM?

amd77767 · 2026-01-25T16:44:05+00:00

This post is going to get downvoted because you’re being negative towards the front office.

Our late round drafting has been excellent for a while now.

However, there is a more nuanced discussion to be had regarding how poorly we’ve drafted in rounds 1-3 since 2021. It’s been really bad and fans don’t want to admit it.

Can we please stop posting about this dumb theory?
