49ers sign RB Bush and OT Pears

[purguy12]

good moves by the 49ers. they add some more speed on offense with Bush and Pears adds nice depth at OG

Grade B.

 

[purguy12]

sorry guard. my bad

 

[flyerhawk]

Bush is really going to love Kaepernick's soft touch on screen passes.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Bush is 30 now so this is just a quick plug in, not a bad move though... I haven't seen much of him lately so not sure if he's lost a step or not...

 

[purguy12]

remember guys he wont be the starter. Hyde is the starter. Bush change of pace back. plus adds speed to this offense. bush and Smith add alot of speed to this team

 

[WizardHawk]

Never hurts to add depth at the skill positions for sure. Not a bad move, but not a blockbuster either. At least it's something more positive than most of the news over the last week.

Ehhhh, not as bad as it initially seems. Willis retiring is the only thing that was surprising, but the development of Borland last season as his heir apparent eases that stress quite a bit for Niner fans.

York's the shit show. Baalke at least continues to sign smart and stockpile draft picks by signing players cut by other teams to short term *coughstopgapcough* help without affecting our compensatory picks coming from FA flying the coup.

Bush is still a good receiver out of the backfield.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Damn I was hoping to see Carlos Hyde take the lead role.

He will be. Bush is coming in as a change of pace back.

 

[DonMan]

FYI, Pears is pronounced like it rhymes with Sears. Which BTW is where he should be playing guard. He sucks.

Interesting. They've already handed the keys to Hyde before having camp competition between the 2?

Eric Pears might be the worst player in the NFL. I wouldn't get excited about him.

GOOD moves? Are you out of your mind? I don't know what Pears' contract is, but how you offer Bush $16M for 4 years ($4M guaranteed) to an injury prone, 30 year old RB who CLEARLY lost his step last year is beyond me.

Not grading Pears because I don't know the details, but I can say - why pay for a 32 (soon to be 33) year old guard who was EASILY one of the worst members of the line in Buffalo. Not to mention he's one of the worst starting guards according to pro football focus. I don't get why you just don't draft or sign someone younger to coach up. The 9ers aren't in a position to compete for the division anytime soon.

Regardless, it's easily a D for the Bush signing (don't even get me started on Wright). And no trust me (because in before 9ers fans freak out) that's not jealousy or am I upset. Feel free to plug in Bush next year 9ers... I hope they go into the season with him as their starter.

Pears and Bush. Well we know one thing for certain, Pears' crappy play will allow Bush to get injured at some point. Maybe it's some sick game the 49ers' FO is playing.

 

[purguy12]

I thought it was for 2 years for Bush. Where are you hearing 4 years.

Im heargin 2 years at 8 mill(4 mill a year), thats not a bad move. pears is a Good death move, Wright I agree is a bad move. He is our highest paid CB. He led the league in INT. Cook was another bad move. T. Smith was a great move. Dockett was a great move.

Overall not a bad offseason.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Again. Pears is not a good depth move. Unless you meant to say death move, in which case I would agree.

WOW, 2 years $8M for Pears would be terrible. That's a D signing for sure. Again, he was one of the worst members of the Bills O-Line last year (Bills were smart to let him walk) and one of the worst guards according to PFF.

30. Buffalo Bills (22nd)

Pass Blocking Ranking: 23rd, Run Blocking Ranking: 32nd, Penalties Ranking: 4th

Stud: Not his best season but still better than his teammates managed. Cordy Glenn (+6.5) continues to be a reliable if hardly imposing left tackle.

Dud: Two guys played every snap and while Seantrel Henderson finished with the lower grade, he’s an undrafted free agent. The same can’t be said of Erik Pears (-25.0) whose conversion to guard was a disaster.

Breakdown: It did not go well. The investment in Chris Williams seemed odd and he struggled before landing on Injured Reserve. The right side of the line was a liability from Day 1 and while it did get better, it was not to a degree that inspires any confidence in this unit for 2015.

Bush is really going to love Kaepernick's soft touch on screen passes.

Defenses will love his lack of elusiveness now.
