I haven’t read the first 5 pages of comments, so I hope I’m not being repetitive, but here’s my take on the situation:
- I LOVE how our players, coaches, and even our fans are dealing with this news. There’s just too much positivity and potential with this squad to allow ourselves to get bogged down in the negativity. Don’t get me wrong, it will be a WONDERFUL day when this franchise is out from under the idiocy of Ross&Beal but there FINALLY seems to be a foundation being laid that insulates out on the field product from the ineptitude of our ownership.
- One of Grier’s strengths as a GM has been his ability to acquire picks. Now that he knows we’re out a 1st and 3rd, he’s got some time to decide how he wants to attack that. If Tua has the strong season most of us think he’ll have, it becomes less important. Plus, what if the 9ers take a step back while breaking in a new starting QB? Hopefully, Tua shows out and the 9er pick is higher than anticipated. In that scenario, it wouldn’t be too hard for Miami to trade down and recoup the 1st rounder taken from us.
