Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

4-3 DE might of fit Brooks skill set better, but 49ers have use top picks in 2015, 2016 and 2017 all on DL... and signed Elvis Dumervil to a cheaper deal and have Aaron Lynch (if he's not suspended), so the 49ers didn't need Brooks there.

While Packers are asking him to continue his 3-4 OLB position.

Brooks is the only guy where we paid to improve. The rest we just paid less to replace.

Would also add...REUBEN FOSTER is that young guy. That is the player we had a shot at, in a miraculous development in Round 1, but declined, traded down, and took Kevin King. So so disappointing.

Had we taken Reuben Foster, Brooks isn't here, IMO. Foster looks to be a very very special player.

Reuben Foster is not an OLB in our defense. He'd have taken the place of Jake Ryan thus having no effect on if we needed to bring in Brooks or not.

If you want to say Kendricks then I would have to agree based on the low paid garbage we had at that position. So, YES!...we paid to improve backup TE. I stand corrected, musccy.

King over Foster has a real chance to be much worse than Bulaga over Dez.

If we would of taken Foster he would of bitched about not attempting to improve CB enough...
If they take the CB he bitched about not getting another player that's doing well...

It doesn't matter what they do, there is a way to complain about it.

As good as Ted is, filling the many holes through the draft just isn't doable.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
