Has A Team Ever Had A Stranger Offseason Than The 49Ers Did?

[RockThatBlue]

I was just sitting here thinking about it. I'm only in my 20s but I don't think I've ever seen a team practically implode in one off season with retirements and all the stupid arrests. Anyone care to guess what their record will be? I think the 49ers will finish last in that division.

Yeah its crazy man. I actually forgot about Anthony Davis retiring until I seen he wasn't on Madden. So Smith and McDonald get cut for getting in trouble. That's 2 big blows to a once juggernaut defense. Then Willis and Smith retire. That's 2 more huge blows. And what makes it worse is Borland who looked awesome last year, was expected to step up and become a starter. Then he retires. Yeah man. It was wild to say the least.

This picture sums up the 49ers off season, and how they're going to look in the season.

Stranger aka worse? Maybe not honestly. If they'd traded Kaep it would be the definitive worst IMO. Losing their starting QB is the only thing missing from this dumpster fire. Jed York is a *

Going full Tim Roth mode is serious business.

The only difference is Tim Roth was likable in that movie, and it was heart crushing watching the poor guy bleed to death the entire movie. 

 

I can't say I feel the same about the 49ers. The way they treated Harbaugh, and then the castle comes crashing down, they deserve it. This team was in the SB a few years ago and had the best linebacker corps in the NFL, and the management quickly destroyed all of that.

Certainly the craziest offseason I've seen.  Holy crap.

That's a hell of a lot of talent leaving a team. All of them would start for nearly all 32 teams. Crazy.

2010 Vikings are up there but I don't think they take the cake. I still remember that infamous clip of all 3 of the 41 year old's starting WRs standing on the sidelines laughing after leaving the game with extremely painful bruises and agonizing toe strains. It was worse than the Derrick Anderson incident.

I almost forgot Mike Iupati.

They will be pretty bad no doubt. They will have a top 5 pick next year almost for certain. It will be interesting to see if they will draft a QB since next years draft looks to have some good ones.

Missed Michael Crabtree as well.

[Andrew Luck fan club]

All I hope for is Carlos Hyde balls out. He's my rb2

Not really a loss now that they have Tory Smith.

Crabs really do grow on trees.

[RockThatBlue]

Hayne looks like a bright spot for them.

Still probably gonna stink.
