Didnt say need . I'd rather they sign Romo then roll with a qb that Baalke drafts, that's my mindset until he's fired at least. 49ers aren't taking a qb in the 1st, so if they do draft one he likely won't be a starter day one caliber anyway. For the very right price Romo would be worth the riskwhy the hell we need romo ? pass on that brittle old ass

team is rebuilding, bringing in a qb whos retiring in a year or two and has injury problems does absolutely zero. Id rather draft a young qb in later rounds.
itd be the same situation as mcnabb on the skins. and mcnabb wasnt as injury prone as romo, and skins werent as bad as us
Im against us signing any vets with one or two years left, period. especially a qb. they will contribute nothing to the team. 'learning behind' a qb is a tired cliche.Because they gonna have more than 1 qb on the roster regardless of who or what round they draft a qb so if he comes cheap then why not...I don't know what the market will be for Romo, if it's too much then fukk it. But if you draft a qb in the later rounds it wouldn't hurt to have vet he can learn behind, even if he plays half the season at which point a rookie can come on. I was just throwing shyt at the wall anyway, he's gonna go to a team in a better situation to win than the 49ers.

i don't, i think it's the reason churn is so high at the qb position these past 10 years. everyone aint gonna make it through the learning curve of being a day 1 starter, while they could possibly be serviceable if they were eased in over 1-3 seasons.Im against us signing any vets with one or two years left, period. especially a qb. they will contribute nothing to the team.

there is zero point in signing an aging vet whos retiring soon. if that was the case we couldve kept boldin or something. those guys go to contending teams trying to win a ring or at least get to offs
who said were drafting a qb in 1st or second ? Im against that as wellIt is if you're qb was drafted in the 1st or second round. Those guys usually start day 1 and learn on the ropes . Wouldn't be a bad idea for a rebuilding team or complete trash team with a qb drafted in later rounds to sit behind a vet. 9ers will not be finding next years Dak
The 49ers have what like $90 million
Dollars in cap that they are being forced to spend because they have refused to sign weapons in free agency. I'm not gonna get mad if
they through a few million at Romo.
yeah favre helped out rodgers a loti don't, i think it's the reason churn is so high at the qb position these past 10 years. everyone aint gonna make it through the learning curve of being a day 1 starter, while they could possibly be serviceable if they were eased in over 1-3 seasons.
lol, it's not about handholding, it's about having time to develop behind them. we have no clue if rodgers would be the rodgers he is if he were thrown on the field day 1yeah favre helped out rodgers a lot
mcnabb was a great pickup for skins right ?
where are the recent history examples an old yeller stage qb being picked up helping a young qb ?
youre just prolonging the rebuild with committing to a vet who has 1 or two years left. like jets with favre. like skins and mcnabb. and so on.
ok so if youre looking for a placeholder, why romo ? hes getting hurt extremely soon, and that young qb will be thrown to the wolves ASAP.lol, it's not about handholding, it's about having time to develop behind them. we have no clue if rodgers would be the rodgers he is if he were thrown on the field day 1
you're not prolonging a rebuild if you put the other pieces in place so your qb can have a chance at success when they start - an o line, a defense that doesn't require them to be a savior, some weapons to throw to, etc. no point in throwing a sparkly new qb on the field if they're going to get murdered every down like david carr was. a rebuild doesn't mean you're looking for one piece, so you can either start with a qb and nothing around him or you can build the other pieces let your qb sit a year or two or draft a qb when you're close.
there is no one tried and true way to get to a competent qb - some of it is chance (brady in the 6th), some talent (carr), some circumstances of the way the team is built (dak)

i didn't argue one way or another for romo, just disagreed with the premise of sitting a season or two being outdated, especially since the day 1 starter motif hasn't been a smashing success eitherok so if youre looking for a placeholder, why romo ? hes getting hurt extremely soon, and that young qb will be thrown to the wolves ASAP.
and yes, there is a tried and true way - build a good team around, then draft a qb. that path does put placeholder qb into driving seat. but not qbs that are one injury away from a wheelchair or retirement.
