Kaepernick's just hoping he can do enough to get cut so he can go to the team he really wants

What a douche.

9ers were going to suck this year. They're into total rebuild mode right now.

Most of their fans got duped into some false hope that things weren't going to be that bad after the Vikings game. Almost felt bad for them as you could see they were being fattened up for the slaughter.
That they still had enough talent to be competitive. Nope. It's a regime change and involving a total rebuild. Players knew what was going on, thus the retirements for vets with little left in the tank and the releases.

It's a implosion, only this one is going to be a drawn out one which will make it worse. And will be made much worse by the GM and cheapskate owner.

The 9ers are entering a dark period again. Their fans better be prepared for it. 2 years of last place in the NFC west for sure. 3 or more if the rebuild is managed poorly and they don't draft well. Considering your mgmt, I'd bet on the latter.

Kaep isn't that great of a QB, but it's not all on him. He's going to end up the fall guy and you can see it written all over his face.

Most of it is bad mgmt of the team by the front office, including firing the best HC coach they had in a decade.

While Tomsula is still very inexperienced and I'm very skeptical of how he will do for us, I'm not ready to throw him under the bus just yet.

Bill Walsh wouldn't look good with this idiot at QB either.

Most of us were duped? You mean, because we beat a historically bad Vikings team that was once again overhyped, that suddenly changed the mindset of the fan base to think we would be something other then below average?

No one could play QB behind that pure shit line. Tom Brady played almost as bad behind a similar line last season against the Chiefs. He was pure garbage that game. You need some blocking in order to throw the football. Most of the QBs playing like crap this season are playing behind horrid lines. I think that some GMs forget that O-line are some of the most important players on the team instead of having 8 wide outs all drafted in the top 3 rounds. Luck also has this problem. Sometimes the sexy pick in the draft is not the best pick. Dallas used to fall into this category but someone kicked Jerry in the ass and now he has one of the best lines and they are winning and playing well with a back up QB and their star receiver out.

Next draft the 9ers need to rebuild their o-line and pass rush. They have a lot of picks in the next 2 drafts they should trade some of them and use the $13.5 million they are under the cap this season to acquire some players on teams that have already given up on the season like the Bears and the Saints.

The real question is what has happened to Vernon Davis? Once upon a time he was a perennial 800-900 yard tight end with the upside of double digit tds from year to year. He was one of the most dangerous weapons at at tight end and now he is a complete after thought.

Has he lost that much of a step?

 

[Logicallylethal]

As much as they criticize Alex Smith of not being able to get over the hump, I believe he would have been better for SF. Kaep is a clown, anyone remember the presser with him and Gore? Couple of buffoons with extremely limited conversational skills. "Yo yah man hey yeah dat good, etc." 2014 cavemen in suits.

Alex Smith was just starting to find his groove in that 49er system too. 2011 he came off a 3,144 yd season with 17 tds 5 ints and a 90.7 qb rating

In 2012 Alex Smith was as accurate and efficient as can be. 104 qb rating with 70 % completion and 13 td to 5 int.

That run game (especially with that offensive line at the time) with that defense combined with Alex Smith's supreme efficiency would have been the perfect formula to win.

Harbaugh gambled and went for the home run in Kaepernick instead of the steady batting champ in Alex Smith. Sometimes all you need is a single or a double to drive in that run.

And he was never the same...

 

[Duffman]

Well to be fair he is also 31 which isn't a prime age for Tight Ends. Other than people like Jason Witten, Tony Gonzalez, and maybe Antonio Gates(although he's lost quite a few steps) I can't think of a lot of recent TE's who have done really well past the age of 31.

Speaking of the Niners...

Santa Clara soccer parents vs. 49ers in heated new stadium war

SANTA CLARA -- After the San Francisco 49ers rallied support for their new stadium by promising to pay for new youth soccer fields, the NFL team isn't following through with its part of the deal -- and taxpayers will be left footing the multimillion dollar bill.

The unlikely turf war between the Niners and Santa Clara's youth soccer parents has been quickly buzzing around the normally quiet city and centers on the 49ers' new $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium and the city's adjacent state-of-the-art Youth Soccer Park.

The soccer fields are so renowned that they draw teams from as far away as Southern California. But stadium traffic will be so bad that they will be extremely difficult to use during 49ers home games and other big events, conflicting with one-fourth of the Youth Soccer League's fall season.

Jed York, owner of the 49ers, told the soccer league in a letter two years ago that the team would fund replacement fields. But the team's front office shocked the soccer league last week by telling them the Niners had abandoned those plans.

"You feel betrayed or lied to," said Matt Heintz, president of the 1,500-member Santa Clara Youth Soccer League, which had supported the new stadium that voters approved public financing for in 2010. "It sounds like they got what they wanted, they got the stadium built -- and pushed us aside, brushed us under the rug."

The Santa Clara City Council is set to discuss the issue Tuesday night and said the city is now looking into spending $2 million to develop plans for three replacement fields at existing park sites. More money would be needed later to actually build the fields, much to the dismay of soccer parents who long thought the 49ers would fund the fields at no taxpayer cost.

But the city says the new plan doesn't use general-fund money, which pays for services such as police officers and firefighters. And it will ensure most kids are not displaced when 49ers games and big events temporarily hinder access to the soccer park, which has three turf fields and lights.

"What this means is we will have doubled the number of available soccer fields on nongame or event days," Mayor Jamie Matthews said in a statement. "It's an exciting opportunity to rebuild our reputation as 'the Youth Sports Capitol.' "

The 49ers wrote back to the soccer group Friday, saying they supported the city's new effort to find replacement fields and reiterated their longtime promise that soccer leagues would be able to use the fields on game days if they could stomach the traffic. They requested to use the soccer park for parking 20 days a year, which includes 49ers games and other big events.

When confronted with the complaints that the team had broken its promise, the 49ers would only issue a brief statement: "Throughout our partnership with the City of Santa Clara, we have established a track record for developing creative plans that are respectful of our neighbors," the team said. "We are confident that will once again be the case with these matters."

The soccer league, which is made up of mostly Santa Clara residents, says taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for the team's broken promise. The money for the initial $2 million study will come from city land sale revenues, and it's not yet known how the actual construction will be funded, or how much it will cost.

The soccer park fields support 2,500 kids in various organized leagues, and the leagues must pay to use them just like it does at other fields.

The January 2012 letter from York followed private conversations the soccer league said it had with the 49ers owner to help get support for a 2010 ballot measure that authorized public funding for the stadium, which opens in August.

But last week one of York's vice presidents in the front office said in a letter to the soccer league that the local school fields they had looked into upgrading are "no longer available." It said now the 49ers would only fund replacement fields if the soccer league was willing to give up its prized soccer park to the Niners to use for VIP stadium parking.

It's not clear how quickly the city replacement fields would be available, what the quality of the surface would be or where they would be located. Other City Council members declined to comment, saying they had been discussing the situation in closed session because it involved real estate negotiations.

The soccer league fears it could be more difficult to draw out-of-town opponents without the lure of the soccer park's reputation.

"It's not fair to the kids," said the soccer league's vice president, Steve Robertson, who played for the undefeated Santa Clara University team that won a share of the national title in 1989.

The city, meanwhile, is trying to calm down the soccer community.

"We have a great partnership with the 49ers," Matthews said. "We are working together on the event operations plan, which will take into consideration the needs of the entire community as we move toward opening Levi's Stadium."

I already miss Harbaugh's sideline antics. He was the best. I don't know how he is at Michigan. Don't get to watch as much college football as I would like to.
