@Maciettox@TorFlack Even if you cut the $70M gross in half for theaters and assume $30M+ for production and marketing, it's already in profit in week one.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN Granting permission to Bosa, Kittle, and CMC while denying it to BA so you can void his guarantees is literally the definition of selective enforcement. Nobody is excusing BAs childishness, you just refuse to hold the front office accountable for their half of the drama
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN That's literally my point. They're 7-1 and a player STILL turned down a trade, citing "no distractions." If winning was enough, he'd have jumped at a 7-1 contender. Players watch how the front office treats their teammates n' he lived through his own contract drama with them too.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN I don't disagree , I said from the jump both sides are to blame. Yes, BA acted childishly. And yes, the 9ers selectively enforced rehab rules they ignore for other stars because they had buyer's remorse 2 games in. Two things can be true at the same time.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN "No distractions" were literally JJ's own words for staying in Min. You don't need insider info to see the Aiyuk circus, public holdouts, and front office leaks. And whether you call it WR2 or Allen's role, it's way more snaps than his 6 rec in Min, yet he still passed.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN Even if he did misjudge his market, turning down WR1/2 role big contender hurts his next payday. He has 6 rec all year in Min. Choosing to sit on the bench in a contract year just to avoid "distractions" shows itโs about the environment, not just being mad over $20M.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN You're right on that first point actually but contradicted yourself. They had remorse 2 games into the deal, tried to shop him, and then selectively enforced rules to get out of the guarantees. Aiyuk didn't fight it cuz waiving the grievance was the only way to get out faster.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN Buckner didn't choose to come back, he got traded. Deebo needed a bounce back after Was. Meanwhile, JJ has 6 catches all year in Minnesota and STILL turned down meaningful snaps on a 7-1 contender, claiming "no distractions." That says a lot.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN The buyers remorse came right after his injury actually. And the point of "doesnt matter what others were given" is the exact issue. Selectively enforcing rules which leads to the loss of trust. The 3 day report doesn't apply to rehabing players. (1/2)
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN Also despite having some success and knowing the system, Jennings refused to be traded to SF because Minnesota has much less "distractions" than SF
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN 9ers had buyers remorse from his injury right after his contract. He chose to rehab off site just as Bosa, Kittle and McCaffrey all have before and they didn't like that. As for who spoke out negatively first, idk. But they both have been vocal about each other.
@OldTimeNiner@JKBOGEN Both sides are definitely at fault for how everything went down and neither side did anything to help it either. But I do believe it's mostly strategical but no doubt there's some pettiness in it.
