There were rumors that Belichick was going to let Brady walk and Robert Kraft said no fucking way so they traded Jimmy instead. It is true that you can't pay 2 players 20+ million a year and still put a good team around them so Jimmy was going to be gone in the offseason one way or the other. Belichick probably did him a favor by trading him to a team that looked like it has some upside outside the AFC vs. trying to fleece the Browns for 2 first rounders and having to see him twice a year while he wasted his best years in that hopeless organization.
The last 4 games have been incredible as a 49er fan. It's really hard not to have thoughts of the first year of Walsh and Montana looking at this stretch. Obviously nobody's in the hall of fame quite yet, but where the team is at with their 5-10 record this year vs. what they looked like a year ago is night and day and it's hard not to get excited for the future. Seeing what Shanahan and Garappolo can do after only 6 weeks together really says good things about the future when they have had a full off-season together and hopefully addressed weaknesses in the O-line, defensive secondary, and the receivers.
I never thought the 49ers could hang 44 points on the Jags even with some turnovers and the Rams game is a lot more interesting than I thought it might be presuming they don't sit their starters if they have nothing to play for.
