Beane didn't "more or less" say Coleman was going to be the X, he flat out said we see him as our X. However, as OTAs progress and the Coleman hype train gathers momentum, it's been notable that Beane has been trying to "manage expectations", talking about how young he is (I had Edmunds flashbacks), "he’s going to have bumps in the road. He’s a rookie, and I think we all need to understand that." I believe he's also said some stuff about having other guys in the room who can do it if the rookies can't right away.
I think there are two separate issues perhaps being conflated a bit here. One is Beane/McDermott's expectations: yes, they expect Coleman to play, but Beane is also giving off vibes he's not going out there for a lion's share of the snaps no matter what, he's got to master the playbook and earn his playing time. I don't think he's hyping him as Diggs successor. Instead Brady is talking about spreading the ball around.
You speak a lot about Beane's expectations.
Do you seriously believe that Beane will have any say in the amount of playing time that Coleman will see?
I mean really.

We took this trip to Garden Grove
It smelled like Lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah
This ain't no funky reggae party, $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I've got the microwave, got the VCR
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah -
The bottles stand as empty
As they were filled before
Time there was and plenty
But from that cup no more
Though I could not caution all
I still might warn a few
Don't lend your hand to raise no flagAtop no ship of fools

Stand!
In the end, you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal -
I was lyin' in a burned-out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playin' in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie

I am of the impression that Shanny had some input on trading 3 1sts to target Trey Lance at #3.
I am also of the impression that he had some input on trading for Jimmy G and making him one of the highest paid QB’s in the league at the time.
Do you have info that Lynch forced those decisions on him?
None at all.
I am just constantly amazed at how many folks think that Beane has more than, or even an equal say wrt the draft than does McDermott. Certain coaches control the draft for their respective teams.

Oh man, Shanny has no QB?
Could that be because he drafted Solomon Thomas at #3 in 2017 instead of taking a QB? And then pinned his hopes to Jimmy G and giving him a big market contract after like 4 games? And then traded a king’s ransom for a complete bust in Trey Lance? All his fault and his own doing. He’s had 8 years to find a QB.
Wait, do you think that Shanny controls the draft in SF?

Please don't make it personal. But my opinion is starting to change drastically to wanting the whole Beane/McD/Brady ouster. It's on style. I want to see Josh and the offense flourish with investments and game plans that prioritize the 25-30 yard laser pass that separates Josh from the field.
It seems when we lost Daboll we lost a strong voice for the WR investment. We carried over the exciting have Josh create/scramble for extra time and then fire a 25-30 yard laser down field. Other teams didn't have the ability to do that. Because of that, half the time we would blow teams out, it wouldn't be close. However without a strong influence for investment this offense lost weapons. Dorsey was trying to accomplish this with G Davis which was a disaster. J Brady switched to using more Shakir/Kincaid/Cook which brought us back into playoff contention. That looked like better use of what personnel they had.
Now it looks like they are tailoring their scheme and personnel to this style and foregoing even an average investment into the outside WRs. I don't want that.
Really!!!

Sadly, I voted over. I think that only injuries could prevent him from going over and I hope to be dead wrong.

I have learned to embrace tribute bands more over the past few years.
I’ve seen a couple great Beatles tributes, an excellent Queen tribute, Billy Joel and Traffic (one of my favorites) as well.
Bands line Brit and Aussie Floyd are playing major venues now.
I did spring ($) to see Aussie Floyd many years ago in Albany and have no regrets.
For the Supertramp tribute, is it a touring act with musicians who have resumes? Or it is a local-ish group of musicians (we’ve got a local group of musicians who put on tribute shows - but they charge way too much ($40) than I’m willing to pay for a bunch of local guys) ?
There is a band that tours the country called "Steely Dead." If you like Steely Dan and the Grateful Dead, these guys are great.

Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones

Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear?
Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear
With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks
Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love
Shaking in the desert, now wherefore do you cry?
Here there may be rattlesnakes to punch you in the eye
With shotgun's full of silver, and bullet's made of glass
String barbed wire at your feet that will not let you pass
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love -

I know this super highway
This bright familiar sun
I guess that I'm the lucky one
Who wrote that tired sea song
Set on this peaceful shore
You think you've heard this one beforeWell the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
Home at last-

One morning, I woke up, and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way
And new eyes to see the dawn
Go your way, I'll go mine

As men, we SHOULD disagree with the system. As if women couldn't make money in 2024, as if there were helpless victims. Let' say they got 4K a month, SUPPOSEDLY for those kids (she can do anything with that money!), they wouldn't be in any financial danger. What matters if the dad is a millionaire NFL player? Why should the MOTHER make bank? And why is the burden on the dad if his income lowers to return to the court to fix this?
Men are getting destroyed, but since we have this innate White Knight mentality, and we don't stick together like women do for such matters, these laws are there. To the detriment of society. Why do you think it's mostly women, by far, they file for divorce and such? They get so much for breaking a contract, no wonder so many men are wary to have kids, marry, etc.I don't think I agree with your entire post but it's hard to argue with the bolded.

I've been trying to tell you people that corners should not be drafted early!

I don't understand what happened to Jace Sternberger. He was excellent in college and I projected him to be an excellent tight end.
Did he get hurt?

I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

Well, at least McDermott got him a receiver early in this draft (after trading down twice for minimal return). He showed Josh just how much he wanted to bring him weapons.
You see? With McDermott calling the shots there is always good news.
