Going Commando Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I looked around for a thread on this but couldn't find one, so I'm going to post a link to an insulting and extremely disingenuous article about the 49ers offseason spending: http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20080306/SPORTS/803060363/1010/SPORT01 The article is titled: "49ers GM: We're 'absolutely not' big spenders" and Scot McCloughan, the 49ers GM actually had the nerve to say, "Everybody thinks: Are we the next Washington Redskins? Absolutely not." That's right McCloughan, you aren't the Redskins... you haven't had a winning record in five years in one of the worst divisions in football.

'SKINSRICH Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yeah, they would actually have to make the playoffs. :49ersuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think that's kind of funny actually. We have to face it, the Redskins were the laughing stock of the offseason for a few years. We raised the bar on free agents. Thankfully now we're able to laugh at teams who are overspending on marginal players, like said 'Niners!

jrockster21 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 They dropped 80 mill on Clements last year, and I believe they've spent some serious cheddar this year. They are worse than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard Clemments deal is not even close to 80mill the contract is structured to where its closer to 40. btw you guys act as if the redskins have not earned the rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_cavalierman Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Considering the 49ers stink I am not really concerned about his comments. The fact is the Redskins have gone to the playoffs twice with our old, overspending ways while the 49ers sat at home so maybe they should try it.

Fifty Gut Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 :laugh: When was the last time the 49ers even sniffed the playoffs? And isn't this the same organization that sunk #1 overall money into a QB whose hands are too small to handle an NFL football? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Same 49ers GM that released Andre Carter (10.5 sacks last year) and gave Justine Smith mega bucks (2.5 sacks last year). He sure knows his stuff............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 btw you guys act as if the redskins have not earned the rep I agree with you somewhat, but what is misleading to me is that the Redskins had maybe four seasons since Snyder took over where they spent a ton of money in Free Agency, and only a couple of those offseasons were really awful. Then consider that the team has been really quiet this offseason and the last one. It irritates me to no end when the sports media refers to an offseason of foolish transactions pejoratively as a "Redskins offseason." This criticism is based on what? The failure of the 2000 and 2006 offseasons? The Dallas Cowboys didn't spend just as much money with the end result of one more playoff appearance than the Redskins and one less playoff win?

We get criticized every year that we bring in more than one free agent. Christ, we were criticized by some last season for "overpaying" for Fletcher, but team slike the 49ers get a pass for ridiculous spending and no results. 2000, 2006. Please list any other season where we went "crazy" in the offseason. 2004 was a rebuilding year, and we brought in a lot of solid guys. 2000 was bad, but to be fair it was Dan's first ever offseason, and you can't tell me that a big majority on here wouldn't go even a little crazy in FA the first year they bought their favorite team since childhood. 2006 was half and half, we busted on Arch and Lloyd, we hit on El and Carter. El's contract is a little big, but we were vying with other teams for him, he was coming off a Superbowl win where he made a very memorable play, and he gives this team contributions off the field as well. Character ought to count for something, and it is sad that not as many people appreciate that quality in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailskinz1991 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 :laugh: yeah...they have 5 rings and that one big oops just look at the last couple of games the skins have played the 49ers, then you can understand the ill will of this guy towards the skins...personally i think its hilaious. they stink and they are in the worst conference in the NFC possibly all of NFL. They dont show any signs of improving either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he did get a 3rd and 4th round pick for Brandon Lloyd from us. Meanwhile , a year later the Patriots acquire Moss for a 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have heard Clemments deal is not even close to 80mill the contract is structured to where its closer to 40. Actually, more like 60 mil. btw you guys act as if the redskins have not earned the rep True, but the 49ers have no room to speak on our team considering they're free agent whores as well yet have no results to show for it.

We have earned the rep but I dont think we should be the face of big spenders in free agency? There are people doing alot WORSE then we have done this year. Not to mention a team that hasn't had a winning record in 5 years is insulting a team that went to the playoffs 2 out of the last 3? We had to be doing SOMTHING right if we are WINNING and they AREN'T. So no we haven't earned the rep to be the FACE of big spending, we have earned a rep that we do do it sometimes and its not justified because the players end up stinking. I don't think people should be saying "we are no Washington Redskins" especially when we arent spending **** this year...and we COULD be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
