If they're going the free agency route for QB, I'd rather they take the home run swing with Winston than sign a guy like Bridgewater or especially Trubisky. Winston has the talent to develop into a franchise guy, and looked to be doing so before he got hurt under Sean Payton. And if he gets hurt or is a turnover machine again, he raises your draft stock. It seems like the perfect boom or bust move that gets the Colts to a franchise QB faster either way.

When he is on the field, he has big play ability. With the Colts O line and Taylor, it would make running play action a dream.

I have no idea what they're going to do, and I'm not advocating for Trubisky to come. I'm just being realistic as to who we can get.

Realistic? In this place? Wwwhhhhhhaaaaaaatttttt?….

No matter who we end up with we will have a shittier QB than elite teams we play. We need to improve this team in so many areas if we are going to have any chance whatsoever. It will be impossible without a ton of development of our young guys. These coach hires are incredibly important

There are still some people over on dotcom who think Luck is coming back. I'm like WTF?? Just delusional.

Yep. And they're hiring former players for coaching positions. Yikes.

The 49ers have nowhere near the plethora of receiving weapons you seem to think they do. Samual and Kittle are great, no doubt. Their WR2 Aiyuk (at least statistically) is pretty good. After that there's a huge dropoff. Their 4th most productive receiver in '21 was a FB who racked up a total of 296 yards which is 17 ypg.

Also, while our receiving core definitely needs some upgrading especially at WR2, Wentz's inability to distribute the ball really hurt their production. I did a quick YoY analysis of yards per game for our receivers between '20 and '21 and most of the drop offs are staggering:

TY -35%
Pascal -39%
Hines -39%
MAC -29%
TE3 (Burton/Granson) -68%, although some of that is probably due to vet vs. rookie.

I don't think Jimmy G is our savior, but he's better than Wentz. Mostly b/c of how bad Wentz is.

If they sign Winston and the light finishes coming on, that might not be the case. That's basically the only hope at this point, though, and it's not much of one.

Because a former player like Dungy was a huge mistake
