2.4K6Ranking the most likely 49ers to someday become Raiders
It’s a phenomenon so commonly seen, the Raiders wrote a top 10 list about it on their website. Throughout recent history, so many former 49ers have become Raiders that it’s definitely a thing. Michael Crabtree is the latest, and he fits the general pattern. It doesn’t always go like this, but it’s what we’ve seen with […]

2.2K1949ers free agents: who should stay and who should go
Many have said that the 49ers’ only saving grace in the upcoming season is their talented roster. This argument makes sense if you ignore the talent and corresponding roster on the 2010 squad, but insert a picture of Kermit sipping tea here. The 49ers are right up against the salary cap this season ($1.348M in […]

7.6K127Grading Trent Baalke’s tenure as 49ers GM
Jed York maintains that he didn’t choose Trent Baalke over Jim Harbaugh. Even taking York at his word, it seemed like a good time to examine Baalke’s tenure as General Manager of the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not an easy task (as you’ll see by the length of this post). That’s because GMs are responsible for […]

3.4K849ers take first quarter off, destroy Rams anyway
The 49ers are capable of running effectively, moving the ball through the air, and throttling opposing offenses. They checked the boxes next to the latter two areas in a 31-17 win against the Rams, a game in which they ran away from St. Louis despite one of the more lifeless, reckless and feckless first quarters this team […]

2.0K23Ugly game, ugly loss: Bears score 21 fourth quarter points to ruin Levi’s Stadium debut for 49ers
This wasn’t a night when the 49ers wanted to see history repeat itself. The stadium looked good, but the game was another story. The turf wasn’t a problem, but the flags that littered the playing surface didn’t help. Even worse for the 49ers, Colin Kaepernick — who’s planning on starting a lot of games at this […]

2.5K1What pressure? Kaepernick does Superman impression in first post-extension start
With all the nonsense surrounding this team — the Aldon Smith suspension, the Ray McDonald non-suspension in the name of due process, the Levi’s Stadium grass — the biggest story of the offseason (for a little while, anyway), was brushed aside. Remember Colin Kaepernick’s contract extension? It was too big, too small, too team-friendly, and […]

2.2K2049ers 53-man roster projection
The 49ers made some moves yesterday: The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have waived the following seven players: QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, S D.J. Campbell, TE Kevin Greene, RB Jewel Hampton, P Colton Schmidt, LB Kion Wilson and WR Devon Wylie. The team also released WR David Reed. Additionally, the 49ers placed RB Marcus Lattimore, […]

2.3KAnquan Boldin on deeper 49ers WR corps (“You can expect to see the old Crab”)
Anquan Boldin went through OTAs and last week’s minicamp as if he needs to bust his ass to impress the coaches, even though he led the team in receiving yards last year and could break into the top 20 all-time in yards with a solid 2014. That’s Boldin. Forget compression gear; Boldin wears his jersey and a pair […]

Aldon Smith, MJD, Anquan Boldin headline 49ers vs Raiders charity hoops game on Friday
The 2014 1st Annual battle of the Bay Charity Basketball Game is taking place at California High in San Ramon. Several high profile 49ers and Raiders are scheduled to participate, and a couple guys with Warriors ties (including one current Warrior) will “coach” the squads. Coaches San Francisco 49ers – Kent Bazemore Oakland Raiders – Draymond […]

2.6KBruce Ellington on Colin Kaepernick’s “cannon,” Marcus Lattimore’s progress and Nerf basketball
It took until the fourth round for the 49ers to draft a wide receiver, and they got a basketball player in the process. Bruce Ellington isn’t just one of the many NFL athletes who played basketball in high school, he started at point guard for the South Carolina Gamecocks. At first glance, Ellington can do […]

2.9K2Why the San Francisco 49ers traded for WR Stevie Johnson and what it means
I advised the 49ers to sign him in 2012. Two years later, he’s on his way back to the Bay. Today the San Francisco 49ers added a receiver who went for 1,000 yards in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and all it took was a mid-round pick. Filed to ESPN: 49ers trading a conditoonal 2015 4th-round […]
