3.0K3Ranking the 49ers’ draft needs
It’s been a while since I’ve written about the San Francisco 49ers. That’s probably good news, considering how most of the offseason news has ranged from disheartening to horrifying (other than the Torrey Smith signing). They started their offseason program this week, which if nothing else should give the players some time with the semi-new coaching staff […]

In an offseason full of 49ers departures, is NaVorro Bowman next?
Remember when Michael Wilhoite was on the trading block? It was a couple weeks ago that Matt Barrows reported that bit of news, which showed just how much of a surprise Chris Borland’s retirement was to the 49ers. Five days later, ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez dropped this little nugget into a story titled, “Patrick Willis’ retirement shines […]

3.2K1949ers 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 […]

4.6K17Five reasons why Draymond Green throwing food at Seahawks fans was awesome
TMZ spends a lot of time reporting on things that don’t matter, but occasionally frivolous “news” items can still provide enjoyment. Case in point: they brought us a fantastic report (and video) from CenturyLink Field that had nothing to do with the Seahawks’ inevitable march to a second straight Super Bowl win (sorry, but you know it’s true).

3.2K449ers “bracing” for Aldon Smith suspension of 6 to 8 games, which would make season’s first half even tougher
Aldon Smith met with Roger Goodell today. No word on how long Smith’s suspension will last, but a 49ers source told Matt Maiocco the team is “bracing for a possible six to eight games.” If that ends up being the case, my initial prediction of two weeks, four at the most, will look pretty foolish. I believed […]

4.2KFive potential reasons Shayne Skov signed with the 49ers
At first glance it seems like Shayne Skov chose the bumpiest path to an NFL roster. The former Stanford linebacker may have gone undrafted after posting lackluster workout times (a calf injury kept him out of the combine and a hamstring injury slowed him during his pro day), but multiple teams were interested in his services as […]

2.8K4With third round picks No. 2 & 3, 49ers add *single* ILB Chris Borland & another redshirt guy
I’m kind of running out of gas on a Friday evening, so I’m going to combine the 49ers’ last two third round picks into one post. Any complaints? Didn’t think so. Trent Baalke ended day two with two predictable picks. It took 27 trades to get there, but they added a player who appears to […]

2014 San Francisco 49ers schedule released – showcase game is a real turkey
The NFL already told us which teams the 49ers will play a long time ago, and they waited until Wednesday to bless us with the dates and times. We’ve got reactions! Week 1: @ Dallas Cowboys – Sunday, September 7, 1:25 p.m. FOX Is there really a reason to care much about this one, besides that it’s […]

4.6K8Inside the LOL: 49ers season in review part three – random acts of lunacy
Welcome back for the exciting conclusion of our 49ers season review! In parts one and two of the series, we analyzed the abject failure which came to define the 2013 San Francisco 49ers from every possible angle. Niners fans kept up a long tradition of calling KNBR to rage against imperfection. “You guys are right […]

2.7K16Jim Harbaugh’s combine comments: the believability scale
Jim Harbaugh took questions today at the NFL scouting combine. Sometimes Harbaugh says things that we can take at face value, other times he just says things. As a public service, we’ve (okay, I’ve) gone through the most eye-catching quotes and judged them based on my proprietary, brand new, and inherently flawed 1-to-10 believability scale. […]

NaVorro Bowman’s ACL surgery has concluded, per source. It went well. — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) February 4, 2014 The 49ers said they’d wait about two or three weeks to see […]
