ESPN’s John Clayton was on Chad, Joe and Lo this morning, and “The Professor” explained why the 49ers might hold onto Colin Kaepernick, even if Kaepernick would rather not stay. “They’ve got to get him out of the division if they’re going to get rid of him,” said Clayton. “But the problem is nobody’s going […]
“You know, our job is acquiring talent, not getting rid of talent.” That’s what Chip Kelly said yesterday when he chatted with beat writers about what the team should do with Colin Kaepernick. Some smart-alecky 49ers fans insisted that Kelly was being clever, because Kaepernick isn’t actually talented and Kelly wouldn’t mind seeing him go. […]
The 49ers’ offense was the worst in the league in several respects, and for that reason many are expecting they’ll either figure out a way to add Chip Kelly’s quarterback from last year (Sam Bradford) or take the local kid (Jared Goff) with the seventh overall pick in the NFL Draft. Those are both possibilities, […]
Colin Kaepernick wants to play for the Jets next season, according to a New York Daily News report from Manish Mehta. That part is interesting, and could lead to a nice opening for a potential trade. Except, based on what Mehta has heard, Kaepernick would probably prefer to play for a number of teams over […]
On Jan. 28, 2016 — about two months before the 49ers could be faced with an important decision on Colin Kaepernick — CEO Jed York went on The Rich Eisen Show. Here’s what he said, courtesy of CSN Bay Area. “I’m not going to decide who the starting quarterback is. That’s our coach, and then […]
“Culture is huge. That’s the difference between a championship-caliber team and a championship team,” York says. “You look at the Golden State Warriors. They were the dumbest team in the NBA for letting Mark Jackson go, who won the most games in the franchise’s history. How could you be so dumb? They bring in Steve […]
Twitter started out so well for Jed York. He was a young, innovative CEO who connected with fans via the social network in ways that screamed, “Hey guys, I’m in my early 30s. I’m hip and with it!” Some fans probably even thought he was “cool” … compared to other NFL owners, anyway … when […]
It’s Thursday, and Geep Chryst is still the offensive coordinator for an NFL team. And not just any NFL team, either. His team ranks at or near the bottom in almost every offensive category or advanced stat. Yards: 289.4 per game (last) Yards per play: 4.9 (last) Points*: 14.46 per game (last) Offensive TD: 18 […]
The spread was 13 — or 13.5 depending on where you looked — for a reason. The 49ers came into this game after getting outscored 147-58 in their first four road games of the season. But the team from Santa Clara flew up to Seattle with hopes of winning. Wait, no, they flew up there […]
What a topsy-turvy career. The first time I saw Colin Kaepernick in person, during a 2011 training camp practice, I thought he looked awful. He couldn’t complete throws to receivers during QB/WR drills, and this was without any defenders around. Alex Smith looked like Joe Montana by comparison. Kaepernick was exciting as hell on late-evening […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ running quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, was placed on injured reserve today with a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Almost immediately after the team made the announcement today, it appeared both sides started scrambling to get their respective sides of the story in front of the curious eyes of the public […]
