Thoughts on niners two #1's next year.

ninerfanNVA — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:34:24 -0000

Barring some huge trade this year that involves the 49ers giving up both or even 1 of those pick I was curious as to what everyone think the 49ers organization might do with these picks. I personally believe that the 49ers are done spending money in free agency or trades. So if that is the case that means we will be sitting pretty next year for the 2010 draft.

The 2010 draft will be one of the best drafts witin the last few years with names such as Sam Bradford, Colt Mccoy, Tim Tebow, Taylor Mays(my favorite), Brandon Spikes, Sergio Kindle, Ndamukong Suh to name a few. We all know there is no way of predicting the future but it would be interesting to see if someone could get it right a year in advance.

I just read an article that suggest the 49ers might do everything within their means to make sure Nate Davis gets on the roster even going as far as placing him on the IR. But for me I'm thinking that with much more proven college qb's about to come out why wouldn't the 49ers package a trade up for say a Sam Bradford? I guess a lot of it depends on what spot we have with these picks that determines the value. Does anyone know the value of first round draft picks?

Or might the 49ers organization do a complete turnaround of what they said they would no longer do and use one of those picks as trade bate for an unhappy player? What are some other possibilities?

Leroy Hill? What do we know....

ninerfanNVA — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:13:00 -0000

Hey I just saw that the seahawks took the franchise tag off of Leroy Hill upon drafting curry from wake. What do we know about Leroy Hill? Is this guy any good or any better than someone on our team? Whats the ninernation inside on him? Is he a inside linebacker or outside?

Does anyone think this would be worth going after instead another unproven draft pick? I know its cheaper to sign a draftee but this guy is only 26? Thoughts? No?

Cornerbacks Galore....

ninerfanNVA — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:48:58 -0000

We all have seen the 49ers bring in cornerbacks for interviews, probably looking to find a player to replace the solid Walt harris. There have been 3 released players recently that intrigue me and I was just curious as to everyone elses opinion.

B.More Ravens just released Samarie Rolle who I find to be a above average corner better than Payman and Green(IMO). And a few weeks ago Chris Mccallister.Here are Rolles stat from 08 with none from Mccallister due to injury but why not sign him to low contract and see if he can help.

Stats Overview	Tackles						Misc		Interceptions

Carolina Panthers just released Ken Lucas who was rather productive as well. A young veteran can help bring along Reggie Smith, Spencer or Brown. Here are Lucas's stats..

Now in comparison to Eric Green who just signed with the dolphins and who the 49ers brass brought in for an interview; the before mentioned players had better years. Green's stats are this....

Career	168	151	17	0.0	3	15	2	0	2	14	7.0	13	0	31

_________________________________________________________________

And in comparison to Karl Paymah who I haven't even heard of who was also a part of that horrible pass defense all the corners recently released are considerably better are they not? Here are Paymah's stats...

Stats Overview	Tackles						Misc		Interceptions
SPLIT	TOT	SOLO	AST	SACK	STF	STFY	FF	BK	INT	YDS	AVG	LNG	TD	PD
2008	39	35	4	0.0	1	1	0	0	1	13	13.0	13	0	5
Career	101	89	12	0.0	2	2	0	0	3	13	4.3	13	0	12

So my question is this? Should the 49ers be looking at any of these corners to bring in to help make us better on defense? Or do they continue to hope that the corners we have on the team blossom this year into solid corners. Or better yet do the 49ers use more draft picks on young players and try to train them into their style of player? I personally think it would be best to sign a Lucas or Rolle for about 4 years and draft corners 2 years from now that we can build around. What is everyone thoughts?

I mean the stats speak for themselves don't they? And the ages of the players are all around the same pretty much. 26 and 32? heh its the same(all you old heads like that) 30 the new 20! But seriously I can not be the only one who wanted to close their eyes on every play that there was a deep ball thrown on us. Now yes I know we didnt have a pass rush to help out but there is a such thing called a "coverage sack" they need to come up with a stat category for that and if they did I can promise you we were probably dead last in the league. So just thoughts...no smart comments

I DISLIKE....NO I HATE...

ninerfanNVA — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:10:00 -0000

(I was told once that when writing in an email or post that putting words in bold emphasizes a strong opinion of the matter)

I HATE THE WASHINGTON FREAKIN REDSKINS...THE FORESKINS...THE DEADSKINS AND ALL THAT THEY REPRESENT! AND RIGHT NOW I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW A TEAM WITH HARDLY NO CAP SPACE CAN SIGN D.HALL AND A. HAYNEWORTH FOR ALL THE MONEY THAT THEY DID? AND ON TOP OF THAT WHERE IS THE TAMPERING CHARGE? SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT WORKS? BECAUSE IF WE(THE 49ERS) MAKE A PHONE CALL WE GET HIT WITH THIS BOGEOUS CHARGE BUT YET SNYDER CAN SIT DOWN WITH HAYNEWORTH'S AGENT AND HAVE A CONTRACT DRAFTED AND READY GO AT 6:00AM EASTER TIME? GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE.....

TO FUEL THIS ANGER IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS LITTLE TO DO ABOUT IT AND I WILL HAVE TO SIT AND WATCH THEM ON T.V EVERY SUNDAY BECAUSE VA LIKES THE REDSKINS.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 49ERS FRONT OFFICE HEAR MY CRIES THROUGH ALL THE OTHER FANS IN THE WORLD....DONT SIT PAT AND SIGN NO NAME PEOPLE..LETS GET AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO WE CAN BE EXCITED ABOUT.

(For what it is worth, you have to at least admire a owner who goes out and brings in the guys to win(even if they don't and even if their system sucks).

Other QB's with Possibilities......

ninerfanNVA — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:47:07 -0000

I was just on msnbc's sports page and they were talking about the free agent Qb's and those who might be available in a trade if the price is right. And it got me to thinking as to why there have not been any mention of other Qb's besides vick and cassel. I think we can pretty much all agree that Coach Sing is GOING to bring in another qb to compete and I think we can all agree it won't be anyone worse than what we already have. With that said why no mention of these names for us....

Byron Leftwich: "Byron Leftwich would be my top free agent target at quarterback. He will come a fraction of Warner's price, and provides a high ceiling. This is former top-ten pick in his prime with a big arm and solid stats in his 46 career starts: 54 touchdowns, 38 interceptions, 24 wins, and a 6.7 yards-per-attempt average.

There are warts: his long delivery, lack of mobility, and injury history. But you don't make it to free agency without warts, and Warner also has plenty of shortcomings. Warner also has the perfect team around him who plays to his strengths. Leftwich could be successful if he was lucky enough to find a similar situation". So why not? what are the arguments here?

Trade Bate Mate:

"Matt Cassel will probably cost a first-round pick and change to acquire from the Patriots. Otherwise, the Patriots look prepared to keep him as expensive one-year insurance policy. Derek Anderson could probably be acquired for a mid-to-late round pick, but he won't go anywhere until Cleveland pays his roster bonus on March 15. Matt Leinart and Vince Young could also possibly be available for the right price. If your team doesn't make any free agent moves in March, they could be gearing up for a run at a trade in late April."

My thought: I would certainly not be upset with giving up a mid to late round pick for Derek Anderson. Any disagreements there? I am against Matt Cassel for a 1st rounder and I don't see the new front office making that move when we most assuredly need that pick. No on Leinart (another smith but slightly better) and no on young(and you all say vick can't throw) I'd rather have Patrick Ramsey.

So what are your thoughts on Bringing in any of these mentioned 25 backs.

Sorry but Vick article sighting...

ninerfanNVA — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:42:25 -0000

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3922780

I know most of you on this site and many others are fully against the 49ers bringing mike vick onto our team because of his past legal issues and also the potential of the fan fall out and medi fall out. But here's a question to consider...what if? What if Vick has learned from his past mistakes. What if Vick can get back into football shape? Are you guys telling me that the upside is not better than Shaun Hill or Alex Smith? Seriously? Don't get me wrong guys I am a Shaun Hill supporter and I feel Hill should be the leading candidate for the starting qb position. But sports is about competition and vick can only make them guys better. It truly is a win win situation for us? If the falcons try to trade him(they might cut him) the most they will get from anyone would be a 5th or 6th round draft pick? Now correct me if I'm wrong but don't most 5-7th round draft picks get either put on a practice squad or cut from the team? This is why singletary has not said no to vick..the only reason that unnamed spokesperson said they have no interest is to be careful. The 49ers do not want to get hit with another "tampering" situation. Its a win win in my book, if he gets his act together he makes us better, if he doesn't pan out as able to do it anymore at least the competition was for the better.

Come on guys...lets put aside the bias legal issues he had.I know its not a completely fair thing because Shaun Hill hasn't played as many but lets do what we can. Compare the stats....and lets not forget its not like VIck had playmaking receivers to throw to either(can you name them). He had to "play to win the game"...lol...that never gets old. What if we draft a qb and pay him more than what he's worth only to probably cut him in the future(hmmm) or what if we sign a free agent qb who's a veteran and pay him an over priced contract because we want the best competition(hmmm)..yeah what if's suck and aren't worth a stack of dimes.....but what if?

Dre Bly9( I did this is in Feb.) these were your thoughts

ninerfanNVA — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:34:56 -0000

Just wanted to get some thoughts on Dre Bly. Does anyone think this would be an upgrade for us? Not over Clements but over Walt and Spencer? I was a big fan of Dly coming out of UNC because he was very very good and he was good at Detroit too his team just sucked. But something happened last year with the broncos that made that secondary atrocious and I think it is mainly because they had no pass rush at all and any secondary would struggle when that is non existent...I.E. the 49ers. I'm thinking its an upgrade and worth bringing him in I don't see why they cut him, I checked his stats and he had 77 tackles last year and 7 ints in 2 years with him(which isn't great) but more than Roman. Clements doesn't have many ints either I don't believe but he is very reliable and doesn't shy away from tackling...a physical corner is needed! Thoughts?

Julius Peppers Chance?

ninerfanNVA — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:51:17 -0000

I was reading on the nfl.com where Peppers agents released a statement that peppers want out and will not sign a long term deal. It also stated that he wants to play in a 3-4 theme that allows him to use all of his atheltic ability....heres the link

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80e2d282&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true

He wants to get away from Carolina and I would assume that might also mean away from the east coast teams because that is all he is use to. What do you think the chances are that the 49ers brass will spend the big bucks to get him? We all have stated that we need a pass rush and that if the yorks can spend the money on Nate Clements then this should be a no brainer right?

Anychance this happens guys? What are your thoughts?

Is it a Good Season and what Ifs?

ninerfanNVA — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 01:24:43 -0000

*First let me say; never get up from the bar with 8 minutes to go even if your team looked worse than the St. Louis Rams; I was shocked to find out it was17-16 when I plopped my butt on the couch and could feel my sadden spirit beginning to make the rest of my day bad but then the score flashed across while I was watching the beginning of the redskins and I was jumpin for joy!!!! Okay sorry.....back to the post

I was trying to to dig deep into past fanpost or post in general from this site to see what the consensus was on what would be considered a good season. I will admit I got a little tired of searching and decided to just post a blog.

If the 49ers win next sunday against the deadskins/foreskins(va's team) then that leaves us with a record of 7-9. And there is a part of me that is sastified with that; I joke all the time with the many cowboy fan's here in Richmond, Va that us going 8-8 is a good season and them going 10-6 is an awful season. I honestly feel that way ;while I would obviously rather be in the playoffs this year I can't help but be feeling pretty good after seeing where we came from last year and almost ended up there again this year 7-9 isn't bad for us; heck 6-10 is almost just as good.

How many games did us 49er fans say would be good enough for us? I think i recall many people saying if we won 2 more games than we did last year that Mike Nolan's job might be safe(so Coach Sings should be).

What IF's: What if that ref had not made that call against the cardinals a few weeks ago? We would going into the last week of the season with a shot at winning the division

What if Mike Nolan were still the coach? I imagine we would be still stuck at 2 games won but you never know maybe the team started to gell at the right time, the 49ers have been known to gather momentum at the end of seasons.

What if Alex Smith hadn't got reinjured? Lets remember he was listed as the 2nd string QB and Shaun hill was 3rd. The 49ers would be going into next season not knowing who our starter is AGAIN or would we? Maybe Smith would get it together..(Hill should have it by now even if we lose next week).

What if we never signed Issac Bruce? I recall many people saying the bruce signing was a waste of time and that he would do nothing but help coach the younger receivers. Now that may be the case on some level still but he by far has been our best receiver and I don't see us winning any of the last 4 games without him..am I wrong?

well those are my thoughts for now and as Al Gore would say in one of the funniest episodes of South park I have ever seen....

"I'm super serial right now guys...man bear pig is real"

That we are still only 3 games out of 1st in our division? This season is not over yet; I for one am not sold on arizona after they got manhandled by the eagles last night. We have the bills,jets , dolphins, rams and deadskins. And even though I'm a o.o.f( overerly optimistic fan) I think those games are winnable anyway. Am I alone in this thinking?The cardinals have the rams, vikings, patriots and seahawks. In the NFC west much like the AFC west anything can happen with divisional rivarly games.KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!!
