Going to win a Super Bowl someday.   If he and the 49ers stay relatively healthy they will win it all.   If you would have told me on the Sunday night of Jan 9th 1977 after watching the Raiders dismantle my Vikings that the San Francisco 49ers would go to 7 Super Bowls winning 5 before the Vikings would ever get back to the big game I would have laughed you out of the room.  Sometimes you just got to wonder if analytics have so taken over the player assessments these scouts and GMs forget who can play the game?  Then you look at the record of Jim Finks who built the 1970s Vikings, the 1980s Bears, and the late 1980s Saints teams one has to wonder how he picked such good players consistently throughout his career and what would the Vikings from 1974-1994 might have looked like had they not screwed him out of his promised ownership percentage making him quit and go to Chicago where his first pick ever was Walter Payton from a small school
