Hi Twitter friends, I'm excited to announce that I'm running the 2022 @nycmarathon to benefit @ChildrensPhila! I hope you'll consider donating to this great cause as I prepare for the race in November - any amount is appreciated!

@BuddyLove87@jonb819 Exactly. Why try to mess with a system that has gotten you so close to a SB win? Will the addition of a decent WR and defensive back really be the difference maker if you lose your franchise QB? That’s not how football works. It’s too drastic.
@jonb819@BuddyLove87 Also KC had the 27th pick in that draft and traded up to get him. Because they were a team that was almost there but wanted to go get a guy that could sit for a year and then lead them to a championship. Maybe the 49ers do that, which is fine, but don’t tank.
@jonb819@BuddyLove87 Totally possible but there hasn’t been a team in a recent memory that purposely tanked, successfully drafted a franchise-altering QB #1 overall (where Lawrence will be) and then won a SB. Even Mahomes was drafted 10th, not 1st.
@jonb819@BuddyLove87 If you have a #1 pick it means you a trash team that needs a lot more than a QB. Again the Niners are nowhere near that. So keep with what you’ve got and try and win within a few years.
@jonb819@BuddyLove87 That’s your opinion but to me if they don’t win a SB it’s not cause Jimmy G held them back on the field or financially. As a starter in the NFL he’s won 80% of his games without several weapons. That’s not replaceable in my eyes.
@jonb819@BuddyLove87 Plus Russell Wilson or Drew Brees could be out for the year just like any other possible injuries. You don’t give up after 2 games.
@jonb819@BuddyLove87 That step back is asking professionals to lose on purpose. More often than not it doesn’t result in a championship. It makes sense for a team that has no promise and need something to build around. The Niners are contenders and don’t fall into that category.
@BuddyLove87@jonb819 1. Guys are coming back - depth is not an issue. 2. There are 5 starters on an NBA team and 22 in the NFL so that comparison doesn’t really relate. 3. After 10 minutes away from a SB win it doesn’t make sense to tank and start over with a rookie QB
