Ed Grimley. Hah! Nailed it!

I really don’t know what you’re talking about here. You’re not making any sense. It’s a simple point. Try to understand it. A one off example that occurred 10 years ago is not predictive of anything, certainly now. As I have said in my recent post on this issue, it’s always a risk to trade up for ANY pick. This is not about Josh Allen’s contract or when we should draft a one or two wide receivers. It’s simply about using this 10 year old ancient history example. So I guess we never should’ve traded up to get Dalton Kincaid? You see it goes both ways. A better way to make your point would be to provide some good empirical evidence that over the years trading up for any position, even wide receiver, usually doesn’t work. I doubt such evidence exists. But if you could find it I would love to see it. I am simply challenging your logic that using this ancient history example by itself means we absolutely shouldn’t trade up for a wide receiver. I do agree with you that it’s a risk. But that might be a risk worth taking. It sounds like you were suggesting that we should never do it. If I’m mistaken, please correct me.

Think for a second. What if he was drafted under the current regime. Regardless of what happened after he left here as damaged goods, it’s not inconceivable that he could have fulfilled his potential. I’m laughing back at you. And this is all besides the point anyway. The whole point of my posts on this matter is that this was 10 years ago and posters still use it as a cautionary tale to not trade up to get a wide receiver. It’s just silly reasoning.

I got it. Read my post again. Trading up for any position is risky. Actually, trading up for a quarterback is even more risky than any other position. If you miss it you set the team back possibly years.The Sammy Watkins example is old and tiresome. It really doesn’t apply here. This is not Doug Whaley making decisions. Don’t forget that. If it’s an illustration, with respect, it’s a markedly poor one. The Sammy Watkins “example” needs to go away.

That he didn’t blow up the league after he left does not in anyway diminish my point. Trading up for any position is “risky“. Using your logic, we should never have traded up to get Josh. You’re using a one off example that is not relevant.

The Watkins situation is ancient history. It’s not pertinent to the current one at all. Besides, imagine if we had Josh when we drafted him. Probably a very different result.

Well said. This is the context that seems to be unappreciated by those who are against this trade. He just became too malignant. This is addition by subtraction in my opinion

With all of the opinions that are flying out there in this thread there is one that is dead wrong: this does not mean a rebuild. Not in the least! Personally I feel better that he’s gone.

He’s been mailing it in for years. Last season was indisputable proof of this🥱

I’ll drink to that!🥃

I think this is Romo’s best game in a long time. Particularly in the second half.

Depends if it was a man or a woman.

A streaker! Now that’s old school!

Do we have enough cap room to trade for the Niners special teams coach?

And apparently I did😁

Weird to see Mahomes with the yips. Weird to see Mahomes with the yips.

Give me The Who or the Stones. Even if most of them, who are still alive of course, are in wheelchairs or are using walkers.

Reid must really be a heavy smoker. Otherwise, why the two toned mustache?

The Niners receivers are tough over the middle.

0-0 Square holders might be able to retire after this game.

Ray Ray!!

How do they get enough money? Do you watch “The Fabulous Gemstones”? That could clue you in. You could also listen to the song “ Jerusalem on the Jukebox” by Richard Thompson.

Does Ray Ray think this is flag football?
