We all watched the press conference where Brad told off the media for their criticisms. And he told the fans to trust the process. They’re going to be better. This wasn’t a fluke. Everything was by design.
BH, and DC both told everyone what they do. They build through draft, re-sign their own players, are not into signing free agents to long big contracts, and they want to know the players they sign.
Last year I correctly predicted RB, LB, and TE. Which happened exactly. I’m not boasting because I wanted DE’s, and DT’s all over the place. And just because I predicted it, doesn’t mean i liked it. They signed DMont to a 3 year deal. But draft a RB 12th? Rodrigo was solid, they knew Barnes was going to break out, they love AA, but draft a MLB 18? They got rid of Hockenson, and played better without a top tier TE, but draft LaPorta? They signed CJGJ, but trade up for Branch?
DC to Shiela - “We have CJGJ, but we’ll find a place for Branch because he’s a really good football player”.
I admit i am one of Goff’s biggest criticizer’s. but I also admit he’s been very successful. A QB in the 3rd? Trading the rest of your picks for Brodric Martin who hasn’t even played?
This is all another repeat of media, and fans bashing Brad Holmes.
They won their division, and they made it to the NFC championship. As a 30+ year fan, that for me, it was like winning two superbowls. And they should have won that game.
I’m not going to pretend like I know what Brad is going to do, or not do. For 30+ years I was extremely emotional, and passionate about free agency, trades, drafts, etc.
I have no favorites in free agency, or the draft. I have some hope for things, but no predictions. For the first time in my life, I’m just going to sit back, trust the process, and watch Brad Cook.
I’m trusting the man.
