Does anyone dispute SF would have still gone to the playoffs? I cant see that.
I posted once they got to the playoffs, no telling what happens, especially considering 2011 and how close they came then. Again not an outlandish claim by any stretch of the imagination.

The response I got was he didn't finish the season and was traded to the Chiefs so that somehow disputes everything I said.

So yea, this place is chock full of morons.

The other 50% feel is was Joekel) 's view. He is, unfortunately for positional value, a right tackle right now, which is a position that could doubtlessly have been upgraded in a less costly way. So how the **** is that drafting for need?

Seems to me, they had a board and stayed true to it, regardless of need.

So you can hate on that if you want, but history shows that teams that approach the draft in that manner tend to do better over the long haul than teams that reach for need.

It's not. 90 percent of this place was on board with Daboll.

Including you.

A bunch of BS about how "We finally have a real OC not Haley's bullshit" mostly. That and "look what he did with Matt Moore!"

it's funny how we can't talk about it...he's this amazing, clutch, non-injury prone QB who...for no reason anyone could guess, was targeted to be replaced by his new coach

Harbaugh took one look at Smith and knew he had to draft his own QB, and he did, then he slapped a leash on Smith, then benched him, and then traded him...oh yeah, and then went to the Superbowl

repeat: Alex Smith, not good enough for the best young coach in the league

prior to Harbaugh slapping a leash on him, he had 5 years of proving nothing...in the last 5 years he has played more than 11 games exactly ONCE

but listening to you guys, damn, he's this swashbuckling, strong armed, injury free god who carried the 49ers to the Super...err, to the bench

and according to our resident Smith stalker, he has a golden rod and children with large vulvas and shining morals...not that he cares or anything (to the tune of 100 posts per day about alex smith)

so, carry on with the Chiefs Tiger Beat Coverage of our dreamy new stud fresh off a California bench

I was not on board with Daboll at any point in time last off-season, preseaon or at all.

Fair enough. There was plenty of support for Daboll on the board though.

To me, the Sutton hire is very similar.

yes, facts undue conjecture..that's how it works, whining doesn't change it

Harbaugh replaced his injury prone, leashed QB with his personal hand picked QB...because he knew Smith wasn't good enough and would need to be replaced

and he was proven right

and we got Smith off their bench...those are facts

It's not even in the same stratosphere. Daboll was hired because of his connections. Reid went outside his tree, hired an aggressive coordinator that would keep the 3-4 and put pressure on offenses.

Hey, I'll admit I was on the Daboll bandwagon for a bit.
