Yeah I get it, but are you really going to risk pissing off Lance for a 2 year window to win a SB?

Wouldnt it be something if the 49ers kept jimmy G and traded Lance for picks.

Rodgers waited what 4? Having said that though dude if they feel he isn't ready he isn't ready that have sort of a window as well. I'm hoping we retired that Mrs. Brady.
 
When you wrote 'Nothing for the Whiners to give up', I thought you were suggesting Brady was a free agent.

No but part of the speculation is Tampa would release him as a ty for the Superbowl plus let him go as the g.o.a.t.

OK. Understand (now) that you're also speculating Tampa would be very generous.

I think the San Francisco thing is interesting, and have also heard it speculated on one of the Networks. However, would think Tampa would require some compensation; and the Niners lack first round picks.
 
I really had a feeling they would go after another no cal QB in Rodgers. Seemed to be a better Football move to me
 
Good luck TB12 - San Fran and their D are a good match for him but this has disaster written all over it.

1. No way TB doesn’t ask for compensation. Jimmy G won’t get it done either.

2. Kyle Shanahan would have to compromise on the one thing he cares most about. How the O is constructed and executed. That’s a recipe for malcontent.

3. TB12 will slow down - in fact he’s likely on the decline. Tampa Bay had the 29th easiest schedule for 2021. The 49ers have the 5th toughest by virtue of being in the NFC West.

4. Anything short of a SB win will diminish his “brand”. He’s a guy that goes out of his way to craft his image as the GOAT (personal views on his cheating aside). If he regresses, 49ers Implode or one of the stacked AFC teams win - he will be last remembered as the guy who played one season too many and couldn’t take a stacked 9ers team all the way.

Bring it on - I’ll watch this final act!
 
I am too lazy to look it up but didn't Santa Clara trade high draft picks to go and get Lance?

One thing is certain. According to all the rumors this off season I for one am looking forward to.
 
Under a shanahan offense, I doubt he would see nearly the same pressure as Arians.
Yeah Tom would fit perfectly in that offense. It would be terrible to watch for us because they'd be a lot better. I think if SF gets Stafford last offseason they would have won it all. But he's not as good a fit for that offense as Tom is. Tom's love of the underneath and patience would suck ass (for us) paired with Shanny.

If Brady asks I believe they would grant it. As interesting as it would be I still prefer Giselle step in and say no way Tom!!! I'd love to see the whiners struggle a bit or a lot lol
 
Okay. For a rare moment I got unlazy and looked....

THREE first round picks and a third to move up last year.

Can't imagine anything else than they have him starting this next year.

Do they have a legitimate choice?

Just read the salary swap between Jimmy G and Brady makes sense for both teams. Plus Tampa gets a return on their investment for Brady.

Yea man if you can get Brady and let lance sit not only is it so beneficial to him but the whiners are ready to win now also. Not only that I think lance is a young QB not like burrow type age so he can sit for another year. Then you also have to factor in if the stars align who else could Brady bring with him? My first thought is Godwin. All speculative but everyone just watched the Rams do it this year and the Bucs the year before. So the Whiners would be stupid of the opportunity arises legitimately. I'm hoping no obviously or if it does happen father time catches up to Brady fast and lightning won't strike twice for him!!! He has had enough luck!!!

So I burn three round draft choices to have the guy I want sit for two years before getting him in the game. Why not three years?

I just can't remember such a strategery but maybe it is the thing these days. McSnead has kind of blown up conventional wisdom so maybe this is a thing. Win now with a potential franchise QB in waiting?

Don't know what it would cost so maybe this could be a thing. Just seems to far out of bounds to me.

Yeah, if they don't think Lance can get it done. What's it matter if he gets piseed?
 
A few media takes here: Arians runs a loose ship and Brady quietly complained about it this year. Also, while Arians would rehab his Achilles with the trainer, Leftwich and Brady would work out the offensive game plans only to have Arians come up later and red ink most of their plan. Some are painting a picture of Brady's retirement being all about being unhappy with Bruce in Tampa.

Eric Mangini has his doubts about Lance. He wonders why Shanahan didn't have certain packages for Lance to run in live games. He lost valuable experience, and doesn't Kyle think he was competent enough to do it reliably?

My take: Brady has hinted about maybe not being 100% retired. Tampa Bay owns him. I wonder if he's thinking that if Arians suddenly retires then he'd return to the Bucaneers if they hired Leftwich as the head coach. He can't just go anywhere he wants without the Bucs getting trade compensation. He has to be aware of that. Lets say he gets the Bucs to talk trade. The Niners don't have any first round picks in the next two years. Denver could be a possibility I guess. I doubt he goes to the Colts due to lack of weapons. Maybe the Steelers but they are not usually actively looking to trade picks. There was a story about Cleveland looking for options for a veteran QB. Maybe they make a play for Brady. He wouldn't cost as much as Wilson, Watson or Rodgers. They could trade Mayfield to the Bucs for his final year. If Brady were to go to the Browns and got them to a Superbowl it would be a huge story.

Sure would look bad investing all those picks into Trey Lance and pivot again to a vet? That’s pretty much admitting he is not what you thought when drafting him.

All those picks AND needs 2 years?
