The 49ers have been just as bad as Cleveland, before jimmy G got their the difference was literally 2 wins in 2 seasons, but the 9ers already drAfted 2 busts defensive lineman with their last 2 first round picks, and don’t have any receivers/good players on their roster and not nearly the draft capital or picks Cleveland has.
Based on the objective facts that are available to everyone, this is true enough. The ESPN article, however, claims there is another aspect to the trade. It contends that the trade was predicated on BB's personal relationship with Kyle Shanahan. It implies that BB believed Shanahan would create a safe landing spot for Jimmy, both in terms of the actual QB situation and the organization's commitment to resigning him. Perhaps the Browns, by contrast, were simply an unknown to BB. Unknowns include the possibility of bad things, like Jimmy becoming a Jet or Bill.
I'm not trying to defend the ESPN article or its claims. That's just the story that has been laid out for us.
