Just read your fellow 9er fans wet dreams about getting a veteran QB in like Rodgers or some such nonsense. Even when you have the "future" sitting on the bench and have invested a TON of draft capital into him already. The copium that will be consumed when they realize the veteran savior isn't coming and they have to go through next year with Lance as the #1 is going to be glorious.
Are you referring to me memeing about getting Rodgers, Brady, or Wilson? 70% of this thread is me telling 49er fans to prepare their assholes for next season, because Jimmy WILL be gone, Lance WILL be the starter, and we'll be lucky to be 8-9. Every sane 49er fan knows Lance is coming and he's probably going to suck for a while as he figures out the NFL.
2 NFC Championship game appearances and 1 SB appearance in the 2 full seasons he had as a starter? Pretty damn well.
I said it half in jest. Expecting Lance, hoping for Rodgers. Its not an unreasonable hope since we know Rodgers wanted out - so why wouldn't he want to come home to a fully loaded team. Niners had the same fucking opportunity with Brady and said nah, we're good with Jimmy... Lost another ring or two because of it. If the opportunity actually comes again they better not fuck it up.
Competing in a strong division is a good early barometer of if you want to know if you really have a chance IMO. Dominating the NFC North hasn't panned out for Green Bay. Why? Because they don't get exposed by their weak division rivals and therefore don't see the need for changing the gameplan until it's too late and a team like SF is punking you in your house in the playoffs. Again.
In the packers case its more than this, though I agree this is a big part of it. Rodgers is just not a good playoff QB. Our one SB was under arguably the best defense GB has ever had, relative to its era. It was just not as obvious when McDoofus was distracting from it with his buffoonery. AR is not buying into LaFluers offence in crunch time any time he can toss to his boyfriend Adams. If he would stop trying to be a drama queen and actually follow the plan, he likely would have gotten another ring this year. Instead he went of the reservation and put up his worst playoff performance ever, other than the Eli Manning raping a while back.
