I dont expect us to be in the Super Bowl every year but what I take pleasure in is the process of a realistic plan to get there. If we went 7-10 after cleaning out the cap and came in 2nd place in the division while getting some exciting wins against division rivals with a young up and coming team and lots of cap space I would view that as part of a process toward possibly winning it all a year or two down the road and would be excited. If we went 3-14 during a rebuild and got the #1 overall pick and a new head coach i would not love the 14 losses but i would be excited about a new season with a new head coach. If the next season we went 9-8 with an affordable rookie qb, young core, and cap space I would feel the sky is the limit for the coming seasons. I want a long term plan to win it all, not this year, not every year, but some year, and any year its possible. With Brees I felt we were a threat to win it all every year, if we could make a bad defense into an average one and a a few balls bounced our way.

But what we have now does not excite me. 9-8 with all in maxxed cap trading draft picks and deferring cap dollars to 33-35 year olds into 2028 does not seem like a plan to win it all in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, or 2028. It seems like a plan to hope to settle for 9-10 wins and one week of playoffs, best case scenario. I want to strike fear into the Chiefs or 49ers etc, if not now, down the road. I enjoy the a process too, but I enjoy the process of ambition, not contentment with medicirity. The process of ambition can start from the lowest of the low. It could be a 5 win season when you aren’t expected to win 1 because you did everything to clear the cap. But its not a process of settling. It’s not a process of saying 2nd place in the division every year is good enough because in the 1970’s we were last.

#1

A former fourth-round draft pick by the Raiders, Feliciano played with Derek Carr for four years before leaving for a starting gig with the Buffalo Bills. He’s developed into a quality backup at all three interior line positions and has had his best season as a pro with the 49ers this year, starting multiple games at both guard spots and snapping the ball himself from center (where he started the entire 2022 campaign on the New York Giants). He would be an upgrade over backups like Max Garcia and Cameron Erving despite his age (he’ll turn 32 next week) and injury history.

Very few are happy. It's just that most of us are not going to wallow in the misery of not seeing any change. It has to be brutal to think that everything here is crap and nothing is going to change. You seem prepared to go the 2, or 3, or 5, or 10 years or more of not seeing the change that you seek. You keep equating acceptance of reality with being happy. They are not the same.

This appears to be a concept that is beyond their ability to fathom, SFIAH. They do not understand that we all want better and are not satisfied. But, I'm not going to make myself, and more importantly others, miserable by obsessing over something that none of us have any control over whatsoever.

I KNOW the Lions Fans feel great about the Detroit Lions, moreso, than Saints fans feel about the New Orleans Saints.... Trust me, it's true!
