Here is a thought. 49ers take Saquon Barkley. If Grap works out .... they could be very good on offense.

Give Shanahan a good RB, and a QB that can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.. and I think he will make it work.
Note I think Hoyer had to choose between walking and Chewing, and Beathard is still learning.![]()
Captain Kirk isnt worth the money....
If they traded for Kirk right now they eat $12.5M in cap space, and IF they have to franchise him he costs $35M, plus Bruce would have wanted MORE than a 2nd rounder.
By trading for Grap, they take over $.5M (1/2M) in cap space, and SHOULD they need to franchise him, he costs about $22M.
Kyle isnt dumb enough to try and Trade with Bruce.
My thought exactly. Kyle gets that zone run game going with Barkley and a pretty good QB ... look out because Kyle will run the ball and he will run successfully.
If Allen wanted to get rid of KC like you said 1000 times here was his chance. Kyle would of wanted KC over Grap. Forget the money. 49ers have crazy cap room. Your conspiracy theory just got blown out of the water. Allen is not against KC.
Thats my only beef with Gruden. If he doesnt get at least 50 yards out of the first 12 rushing attempts, he abandons the run game faster than an NBA player ditches his pregnant russian girl friend.
Again dude, you obviously have NOT been paying attention when Bruce Allen is involved. He is all about winning. And trading Kirk to Kyle for a 2nd rounder would NOT be a win in his book. If Kyle called, Bruce would want a first rounder, just as in fact YOU would have screamed we should have gotten their first rounder. Bruce wants to look like he is in control of the situation. Dealing Kirk to the Niners for a 2nd might have pleased you, but once you forget about the money, and remember WHO Bruce Allen is. You would realize the only way Kirk would have gotten traded to the Niners is if Bruce could proclaim he made am awesome deal.
You also ignore the fact that Kyle wasnt going to call Bruce under any circumstances.
It wasn't always a popular opinion here but I was a fan of Kyle's. Look how much Atlanta misses him. I do not think Kyle, Bruce and Dan could have ever co-existed though. Kyle is arrogant like his Dad. I know people here didn't like the zone run game but we haven't run worth a damn since the Shanahan's left. Kyle has a brain cramp at times though. He is part of the reason why the Falcons lost the Super Bowl, he is also the reason they were up by a bunch too.

wouldn't pleased me. You said BA wants to get rid of KC. IF BA knows that he will not sign KC at all costs why wouldn't he take anything that he can get for him right now? Didn't you say Kyle wouldn't trade for a qb?
Dean, think of it this way.
Picture the person who fucked you over the most ever in your life. Would you call that person up and say, hey dude... loan me $10K so I can pay off my car?
To make this trade happen, KYLE made the first call. That call never happened and never would have happened. Does Bruce want to keep Kirk, probably not. Was he going to call Kyle?? Again probably not. And no way in hell does Kyle call Bruce on this one.
I would say be realistic, but some how I doubt you can go there when the QB is involved.
So you are saying Kyle would want Grap over KC if it costs the same (2nd round pick). BULLSHIT!!! After giving up a high 2nd round pick it looks like Grap will be Kyles guy. You are saying Kyle would trust Grap more to run his team than KC who he has coached? Crazy Shark

Do you think Kyle went banging on the desk over getting Grap? Or do you think the GM, John Lynch, did his job and made that call?
Funny part is, IF we had made this trade, I guarantee DEAN would be LIVID we didnt get the NIners first rounder and more.
Nah...I think he would cry again.
