The 49ers better be right about this. Friday’s draft deal-making was a real roll the dice moment for the franchise. One way or another we’re going to be talking about this push-in-all-the-chips moment for years to come.
As you know, the Niners have arranged a deal in which they traded three – count them three – first round draft choices (and a third rounder) for the third choice in this year’s draft. It is clearly a move to choose a quarterback. Nobody pays that much to draft a tackle.
Several points should be made:
First, this is a lot to pay for a rookie quarterback. This is a “generational talent” kind of price, what you pay for the sort of unicorn who appears and is so dazzling that you’d offer almost anything to acquire him.
Not sure that is what we have here.
The draft stud is Trevor Lawrence. And you can forget him. He’s going to be the #1 choice in the draft by Jacksonville. But if you could trade three first rounders to get him, the price the 49ers paid would be understandable.
Instead, we are left with the second (Jets) and third picks (49ers) to sort out the four remaining candidates, Zach Wilson (BYU), Justin Fields (Ohio State), Trey Lance (North Dakota State) and Mac Jones (Alabama).
The odd thing is that Wilson is said to have a slight edge on the rest of that group, and the Jets and new coach Robert Saleh, are said to be very interested in him. So if the 49ers wanted Wilson wouldn’t they have worked out something with the Jets? Couldn’t they get the #2 choice? Maybe just a swap of spots with New York? Do they know who Saleh is going to draft? Or are they OK with missing on Wilson and choosing among the others?
Because one thing is certain. This just put a ton of pressure on a rookie quarterback. For the rest of his career, the words “whom the 49ers traded three first round draft picks to choose,” are going to be in his bio.
It’s an interesting group. Wilson is slight but is said to have elite arm talent. He’s shifty and very modern-quarterback-y. Fields is a big guy, over 220 pounds, who has had some ups and downs at The Ohio State, but mostly ups. Lance checks all the boxes, but who did he play at North Dakota State? Mac Jones was successful at Alabama, but who wouldn’t be with that roster?
None of which screams “can’t miss prospect.”
Whoever it is had better be ready for sky-high expectations and a baptism under fire.
Second, if you wanted to undermine Jimmy Garoppolo’s confidence, congratulations. After an off-season filled with constant chatter about his future, and a grudging “Uh, sure, he’s our quarterback,” from Shanahan and Lynch, the team mortgages the farm for a new, young guy.
Having paid this price, they are going to want to prove that they were right. And that means getting the kid into games and having success as soon as possible. And Jimmy? Best wishes.
Again, this better work out. Because you have a Super Bowl quarterback in uniform and you’re throwing him under the blocking sled.
Third, this sets the course for the franchise in the future. It is always possible that they can regain those first round choices, but for now #1 is gone for three years in a row. First rounders are the coin of the realm. In the modern game, drafting usefully in the early rounds is the way to stock a roster. That’s where you get helpful, dependable starters who don’t take a big bite out of the payroll for at least a few years.
Still, you can’t say the Shanahan/Lynch brain trust is timid. They went all-in on this, aware of the pressure it will put on the person they draft, on Garoppolo and the current roster. And finally, this will attempt to answer the charge that these 49ers are just a one-shot flash-in-the-Super-Bowl team. They want to say this is a consistent, winning franchise.
This is a move they hope will make that happen.
They better be right.
Hi C.W.,
Welcome back, are you back for good? How often do you plan on posting? I hope the 9ers draft Lance and keep J.G. around for 1 season. It would give Lance a chance to acclimate to the NFL and give JG a chance to meet the performance level he played at during 2019, which would increase his trade value. The 49ers could use Lance like N.O. used Taysom Hill. It would make the 9ers that much more difficult to prepare for.

I am on a school district chrome book which blocks Razor’s site. Hopefully someone else will post on his site that CW is back. Razor could continue to post articles here in the responses.
There must be more here to see , besides Lawrence and Wilson who do they see as a franchise QB?
This is a huge leap…
Hacksaw,
I believe that franchise QB is Lance. He can run like L. Jackson and pass like Mahomes. He played under center. 40% of his passes were play action and it is a special skill to pass after you have turned your back to the line of scrimmage. He went to the line with 3 plays called and then audibled to the right play. He also called all of the blocking adjustments for the O line (most teams have the center make these calls) He is a special player. imho
Brilliant move by the 49ers whomever they choose, really, but it really reads to me that they know they are going to get “their guy”. They apparently tried drafting at 4 and 5 at least, so that seems to me that they expected “their guy” would fall that far, and thus 3 could be slight to major over-reach for “their guy”.
But hey we somehow will soon have three top quarterbacks, Jimmy being drafted the lowest. Nevertheless this is a contract year for Jimmy and I think he is going to explode. While Rosen, beaten and batter with little help, is desperate for one more chance to show who he really is as a QB. Remember that he is highly touted for his accuracy, which Shanahan always covets.
They are getting their QB of the future with absolutely minimal pressure to produce right away, perhaps change of pace and showcasing.
Looks like a very competitive camp for QB which should be fun to watch
“Do they know who Saleh is going to draft? ”
I was wondering the same thing, I bet they do know.
UC,
I think everyone knows the Jets will draft Wilson. The 9ers choice comes down to Fields, Lance or Jones and I am all in for Lance.
OC
I don’t pay enough attention to college to be able to comment on talent, but I will say that was a bold move. My question is what is JG going to do? His days are numbered. Does he stay for that year or demand a trade/release and move on with his career?
Garoppolo won’t demand his release because he won’t make anywhere near what he is getting from the 49ers anywhere else unless somebody trades for him. If the Pats want him bad enough maybe they’ll come up with an offer the team can’t refuse but I think the 9ers will keep him rather than forcing the rookie to start from day one.
Like I said in the above post, I think the 9ers will keep JG around for the season. Giving him a chance to improve his stock, then the 9ers will allow he and his agent to find their own trade. This year I believe they will use Lance or Fields like the Saints use Taysom Hill. It will give D coordinators fits in trying to game plan for the 9ers.
Hey Coach, I couldn’t agree more. That’s my ideal scenario, unless the Jets pass on Wilson, then I’m not certain exactly who I’d draft. But it wouldn’t be Mac Jones, that much I know.
Then again, my opinion is subject to change once I finish my work on Lance. In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked because a strong argument can be made that Trey Lance has the highest ceiling in this class, and he may also be the most NFL ready due to the offense he ran at SD, and the things he was asked to do. The kid is well beyond his years, and he’s only 20 years old.
But yes, it should be Fields or Lance (or Wilson) sitting behind Jimmy in 2021, with their own special packages of plays. Of the 3, I would trust Lance the most if they are forced into action or tasked with starting their rookie season.
Anyone else, in other words Mac Jones, would be a mistake, IMO.
For me the choice would be easy:
Justin Fields: Definitely not he doesn’t look his WR much off and stares to much, reading defenses will not be easy for him,look his pretty bad game against Northwestern.
Mac Jones: They say he is the most pro ready, why did we tried to take Dalton or Flacco than? Because of bridge QB’s so that’s why i cant see us drafting Jones cuz his floor is high but his upside isnt that huge and in my opinion his upside is a slighter Derek Carr.
Trey Lance: This would be the logical choice for me he has a solid floor but huge upside.
High football IQ cuz as a first year starter calling protections with pre snap reads is pretty good on pro style sets.
Strong arm.
Great leader on and off the field.
Serious POISE.
Excellent at off script.
IMHO to good to pass on.
Robber,
I agree, will your opinion change if Wilson is available at #3?
Both are good for me OldCoach
but who did he play at North Dakota State – Carson had the same background and we all saw what happened to him when he faced adversity…
Carson is talented, but squirly, and reckless. Lance is in calm, plays with extreme poise, and is adept at protecting the football, which Kyle covets.
Actually, the cost is two first round draft picks and a third. This year’s picks were swapped………..fortune favours the bold
The person history credits for that saying, Pliny the Elder, died of asphyxiation from the Mt Vesuvius eruption the next morning.
He still had a beer named after him you jackass!
That’s the one thing that still sucks about this site. Catfish cretins like you.
A bold move which will either be brilliant or set the Niners back a decade.
1. Zac Wilson is overrated. I hope he winds up on the Jets. They will quickly discover that Darnold is significantly better. Jimmy is better also.
2. Jury is out on Lance. He is a raw talent but I wish there was a larger volume of work.
3. Fields is interesting. He plays big in big games.
4. If we draft Mac Jones I will switch over and become a Raiders fan. Mac Jones might be “nfl ready ” but guess what – Jimmy is more NFL ready.
5. Jimmy is a top 5 qb when provided with tools – like a healthy O line and WRs who can run routes and catch the ball. Jeez, is that too much to ask. Reminder that his receivers in the first half of 19 were Pettis and Goodwin. The more wise course of action would have been to stay at 12 and draft a S or CB. Then draft a Slot receiver. Sorry but TT needs to go. Or perhaps move Deebo to Slot and draft Waddle or JaMar Chase at 12.
Two first rounders and a third…is not gonna set us back a decade. Lol…haha
They may be gambling on choosing a different Qb…
But they are just not gonna gamble on Jimmy staying healthy another season anymore..or have to hold his hand anymore..
You hold a rookies hand…not a veteran..
2017 -gave us a small sample size…i was excited..but….
Hindsight..shoulda franchise tagged him..
2018 -injured three games in…(Flaws started to show) especially in that Detroit game..
2019-Preseason and training camp
Reports of him throwing multiple picks in practice…It was downplayed…
Then u see the boneheaded passes in the reg season and playoffs…
Thats why Shanahan shut him down against Minnesota when he threw a pic..and ran more against Green Bay…
Jimmy was getting figured out..and starting to flame out..
That 2019 run was led by a strong defense and strong running game..
2020-Jimmy got hurt again…and he still hasn’t figured it out .as far as upping his Qb IQ..pocket awareness..accuracy
Shanahan realized this season…he can’t depend on Jimmy….His doubts started to show earlier..but…it is..what it is..
They could very well keep Jimmy another year..to groom the next prospect…or they can implement the Rookie right now…
As I said before…You hold a rookie’s hand…not a veteran..
Kyle is looking for a smart,playmaker that can make things happen..when the play doesn’t go as planned…
an improviser..with an accurate..stronger arm…some athleticism..that can make all the throws…
We were a playoff team with or without Jimmy last year…
Thats why u do this….
Jimmy is not gonna decide the fate of the 49ers anymore….
Some people need to realize that.
1) Dont think so
2) How many games had Cam Newton in college? 14,difference is Lance had pro style concepts.
3) I have my reserves about him cuz of his tendency to stare his Wr’s down, and his 2 really bad games in college Northwestern/Indiana.
4) I wouldnt like this either that means our HC/GM still are stubborn to evolve.
5) Availability big issue,also they didn’t trust him if you see on our playoff run and loss against the Chiefs in the SB,and he never will be Tom Brady.
How do you know that Fields “stares his receivers down”? Have you seen him do it? If so, how many times?
Anybody finding ways to nipick Fields brilliant NFL career is doing just that …. nitpicking. As if college QB’s are finished products. You project how his game will translate to the next level. I am absolutely confident in both Fields and Lance.
I mean Fields college career.
Bad decision. Remember CJ Beathard?
Drafting a QB and trading JG before the 2022 draft will open up a huge amount of cap space. The cap should go up 30 mill if fans are allowed back this year along with a new TV contract. The 49ers will be able to extend Bosa, Warner, Samuels and Aiyuk as well as sign at least 2 A+ level FA’s. If you think this off season has been crazy just wait until next year.
The 49ers have set themselves up with an opportunity to go on a LONG, extended Super Bowl run if they play their cards right in the upcoming draft. If they hit a home run on their QB, they are in a rare position to compete for a title this year (if Jimmy G can somehow manage to stay healthy – KNOCK ON WOOD, even though up to this point it’s clear he has a problem). They can make a run this year, and then follow this season up with what could potentially be one of the most exciting seasons in decades, with a real chance to be the first NFL team to claim their 2nd NFL DYNASTY in the history of their franchise, and once again claim team of the decade honors!
Do not blow this ShanaLynch, please, I beg of you … do not blow this!
Kshan better not draft Mac Jones.
https://twitter.com/BrianCatNFL/status/1376940914254479362?s=20
the fact they are even talking about this ridiculous –
Justin Fields should be the pick
oneniner,
I am all in on Wilson if he is available (I don’t think he will be) and Lance if Wilson is gone. I’m not that far off of rating Lance ahead of Wilson, who knows I could change my mind by the draft.
you know what sucks- has much as I think Kshan can be stubborn with personnel – he did
– Robert Griffin III Rookie of the year
– Matt Ryan a MVP
– JimmyG NFC Champ
Plus one, Oneniner!
If ShanaLynch draft Mac Jones, I am probably going to shed a tear. And if Jones proves to be who I think he is, I can honestly say it very well could take years off of my life. That may sound overly dramatic, but that’s how strong I feel for my Niners. I bleed Red and Gold! I’ve been a Forty Niner Faithful since the early 80’s, and I still dream of the glory days. I even have 2 Joe Montana signed footballs, one is cased and center stage among other Niners memorabilia. I’ve been privileged enough to watch some of the best NFL quarterbacking the world had ever seen for nearly 2 straight decades!
If Kyle is seriously thinking Mac Jones ahead of Zach Wilson, Justin Fields and Trey Lance, he needs to have an intervention. I recognize the magnitude of this pick. If Kyle takes Jones, and Jones turns out to be an average NFL QB along the same lines as the Kirk Cousins of the world, Kyle’s legacy will be ruined.
– This is the pick destiny has brought upon him.
– This is the pick that will forever define who Kyle Shanahan is and was, as a football man!
– This is the pick Niner fans will point to for generations!
– This is the pick that could very well set in motion the next 49ERS DYNASTY, and team of the decade!
Just looking at the plays between lines – forget everything else – J.Fields is the one with the whao factor
he played better competition and faced adversity – and he is a leader – I didn’t agree with him speaking out on playing during covid – but he spoke out
JF is gritty…..
Shanahan previously met Fields years ago while working with the QB Collective.
“Just going back to the QB Collective, I remember coach Shanahan being a great coach, a great quarterback coach in terms of emphasizing keeping that base in the pocket,” Fields said after his pro day.
“He’s a great offensive-minded coach and arguably one of the best coaches in the league. It’s just an honor and a blessing to be in that position to be looked at by them, so I’m just grateful.”
I like QB’s that play in a pro Style system like Lance. The Ohio St. program doesn’t seem prepare QB’s to play in the NFL. What has impressed me the most about Lance is his experience in play action passes. 40% of his completions were after play action fakes. He also took 3 play calls to the line of scrimmage where he audibled to one play, he also made all of the O line blocking adjustments at the line.
oneniner,
Have you been to Razor’s site? I can’t access his site. I was wondering if anyone has gone to his site to let everyone there know the PD site is back up.
Oldcoach, I did.
Rib,
Thanks, I hope the group that moved there come back. They can still write opinion posts just post them in the replies.
Coach,
I will make some visits here during the regular season because I enjoy reading the comments from the old crew on here.
If the PD can keep this site fresh throughout the season it will be nice.
On the QB topic, I like Lance’ and Fields’ great athleticism. But the oldest non athletic player in football has won 7 SB’s by staying in the pocket.
I see Jones more along that line of QB.
Is he Tom Brady? Absolutely not. But I believe that he is very commanding of the pocket and given time can hit his target with with high consistency.
To paraphrase what my guy (SEC Champion, Pro Bowler, and Super Bowl Champion) – NFL Safety RYAN CLARK told ESPN today, 3/31 :
“JUSTIN FIELDS is the 2nd best QB prospect, a very close second to Trevor Lawrence, and most physically gifted QB in this draft, passing wise and everything. What he needs to do is avoid the Jets, and do everything he can to be drafted by the 49ers and Kyle Shanahan because if he does, he’ll be an All Pro, he’ll win the Super Bowl, and he’ll go to the Hall of Fame!”
He mention everyone needing to watch all of Fields tape over the last couple years, including the semifinal against Clemson (I believe 20 games).
I mentioned earlier that I’ve watched the Northwestern game a few times at least, and I feel like Justin actually played well, but his receivers let him down, and the Northwestern DB made a one handed “INT of the year” on an end zone pass that should have been a completion of his receivers plays the ball a little stronger. BUT THAT SEMI FINAL games VS Clemson was one of the greatest college QB performances I have ever seen, and perhaps the gutsiest as well!
Again, I continue to lean Fields, but Lance and Wilson are also right there, and I’ve been high on Wilson since he kept balling week in and week out. And then there is Trey Lance. Perhaps one of the most intriguing prospect I’ve seen, in part because I think he’s advanced in terms of X’s and O’s, he’s poised way beyond his years, he’s strong enough to bully a lot of defenders, I love his throwing motion,l and arm talent, and he runs like a speeding freight train.
This is an excellent article, and I couldn’t agree more. I believe that they know exactly who they want and how it’s going to go 1-2-3. I don’t see our current brain trust as people who wouldn’t put their livelihoods out on a limb like this unless they were sure of what was happening. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were already writing up game plans. Here’s what I think. 1. Lawrence. 2. Wilson. 3. Fields. I’m happy with that.
OK, so we will pick a QB in the first round. What positions will we pick in the 2nd and 3rd round?
Lynch and Shanahan seem reluctant to hurt Garoppolo’s feelings, so they indicate they plan to hang onto him and start him next season. Other teams are sane, they don’t want his $50million contract along with his fragile body. The 49ers have the opportunity to cut him for just a few million dollars. Why keep him around while mortgaging the franchise’s immediate future by drafting his replacement? If I’m the owner, looking at the $80 million or so I’ve already spent on Garoppolo, and seeing my front office risking more of my millions, I’d fire both of them. Let’s say they start Garoppolo and he goes down again with a career-threatening injury. I’m on the hook for another $50 million or so, with only a superbowl appearance for my $137 million. Shanahan and Lynch could be laughingstocks, answers to a football trivia question for the next several hundred years. Cut the man and use the $25 million to buy through free agency or the draft a couple of linemen to protect the quarterback you plan on drafting.
Fescue,
I think they will use any cap room to extend Warner, Bosa and Samuels. They will keep JG around so they don’t have to rush their new QB and they hope he will play like he did in 2019 improving his trade value before the 2022 draft. The chances that he will experience a career ending injury are incredibly small.
Old Coach,
I look at Garoppolo’s play last year, not 2019. He lasted six games last year, and was 3-3. The new quarterback ought to be able to go 3-3, or else why give up all that draft capital? JG is way too expensive to keep around as a back-up. In my opinion, he’s only a super-bowl quarterback when he surrounded by the 2019 players–one of the top defenses in the NFL , excellent offensive linemen, and top running backs and receivers. A lot of them are gone and their replacements are what gave Jimmy G a 3-3 start to last season. It’s pretty clear–the road to success in the NFL is to go in the tank, get high draft picks, and be happy for at least one year. Those high draft picks are cheap, giving you the cap space you need to keep some of your vets. The only possible justification for using the weak-armed turnover machine Mullens almost all last year was that losses didn’t hurt because they moved the 49ers up in the draft.
Longtime draft analyst Matt Miller is convinced that the San Francisco 49ers traded up to the No. 3 overall pick for Alabama quarterback Mac Jones, and he doesn’t sound too happy about it. He grew up as a Niners fan, and the idea that his favorite NFL team might select Jones over a prospect like Justin Fields of Ohio State disturbs him on two fronts—as a fan and an analyst.
“As a lifelong Niners fan, that’s such a punch to the stomach,” Miller said on the Dan Patrick Show. “I’m trying to trust (general manager) John Lynch and (head coach) Kyle Shanahan, but I remember when they said they didn’t need a quarterback and they passed on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson only to pick up C.J. Beathard in the third round.
“I’m still a little gun-shy about trusting this front office. This just feels like something they would do. They would overthink it again, just like trading back to get Solomon Thomas or drafting Reuben Foster in the first round. It feels like this front office is a little too cute sometimes.”
The NFL has been around for more than a century, and like any business that has existed that long in America, it has been touched by racism. Whether it was flat-out bans on Black players in the 1930s or Warren Moon having to rip the CFL a new one for five straight years to prove he was smart enough to be a quarterback, no one can deny the NFL’s history of racism. While things are better now than they have ever been, that doesn’t mean the effects of that ugly history are not felt today. In fact, we may be seeing them right before our eyes this year.
In today’s Niners Nation Gold Standard Podcast, Levin Black wondered aloud why people suddenly began questioning Justin Fields’ leadership, character, and work ethic. Meanwhile, Mac Jones, who has some documented missteps in his own history, has not received the same level of scrutiny while vaulting up mock drafts. In Levin’s mind, the answer was pretty clear.
Jones has that extra weight, and the DUI, and yet has skyrocketed up boards. This is despite being unexceptional. He’s not a good athlete, he doesn’t have a cannon, he is accurate but Fields has been more accurate in college. He’s not bad at anything but not so great at anything to justify ignoring negatives.
“Part of Mac Jones’ rise as a prospect is due to racism. Racism is more nuanced than simple, ‘I don’t like that guy because of the color of his skin so I’m going to downgrade one guy and upgrade another guy.’ It’s more nuanced than that. The NFL has a racist past and some of the most blatant racism came at the quarterback position. That has created a system or history that is biased towards a certain style of quarterback that is predominantly White. And so I think that there is this idea where people are more critical of the athletic quarterback. They look at the athletic quarterback and say, ‘yeah he can run but can he actually play quarterback?’ There’s an underlying thing that sometimes you’re not even conscious of, because it’s built upon racism. The pundits out there aren’t being racist themselves, but they are being affected by racism and that is affecting their opinion. I think that is going on with Mac Jones.”
Nice to see Mr. Brooks agreeing with me.
Larry Krueger
@sportslarryknbr
Bucky Brooks says Mac Jones is not as good as Jared Goff or Jimmy Garoppolo.
if not j. Fields it better be Lance
One, talk to 5 different Niner fans and you’ll hear uncomplimentary things about 5 different QB prospects. Whoever is picked is going be unpopular with a large swath of the fan base.
All five would agree Ribico is a POS.
Waited weeks for this site to come back so you could sh*t on it, eh? Drop dead @sshole, whoever you are calling yourself these days.
Wonder if the 49ers could draft Pitts, then trade back into the first round for Trask at qb. (We’d have a “Kyle Trifecta”) Pitts may very well be an instant superstar (try to defend him, Kittle, Samuel and Auiuk all at one time! Sheesh!)
Trask is slower than a stop sign. Unless you have pro bowl level talent at all 5 O line position he will end up being sacked 60 times a year and his career will last no more than 3 seasons. imho
Hello darkness my old friend.
So Deshaun Watson’s career is in jeopardy for doing the same thing Billionaire Pats owner Robert Kraft did who received some mild comedic ridicule. Got it. Meanwhile a certain orange fat-@ass has confessed to sexual assault and 20+ woman have corroborated including 2 rape charges.
Yippie ki yay
Will the 49ers trade up in the 2nd round for Najee Harris. Then choose a CB in the 3rd and 4th?
Does any one know whether Aldon Smith is still unsigned. If he is they should sign him, it will allow us to focus on CB in the draft.
Coach, none of the sporting sites show him as signed. Niners should definitely take a flyer on him , IMO

Anyone recall Phillip Adams – a 2010 draft pick of the 49ers
He was drafted by the Niners in the 7th round and played for 6 teams in 6 years. Yesterday he shot 5 people and then himself.
Yeah, I recall Adams. I had high hopes he’d be, if not a shutdown, then a functioning member of the backfield for years. What a tragedy ???
The best 49ers news coverage all week – Colin Cowherd – The Herd
The failed state of TX will require the National Anthem to be played at all sporting events. Next year they will work on proving running water and electricity on a consistent basis. LOL.
Failed state??? How come so many Californians are moving there, prey tell???
it is a failed state – More than 4.5 million homes and businesses were left without power, some for several days. Although Republican officials including governor Greg Abbott initially blamed the outages on frozen wind turbines and solar panels, inadequately winterized natural gas equipment was the primary cause.
Just because people are moving there does not mean it’s not a failed state –
CA is the 5 largest economy in the world. Its GDP is akin to Germany or France. TX on the other hand is a high priced escort masquerading as a state. Their economy is propped up by Federal gas and energy subsidies. Thank god for Sugar Daddy (Feds). I don’t doubt that some people are leaving CA for TX. They are poaching some guys off our practice squad. Who cares. Think about this, CA is home to the companies who impact our daily lives : Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook and newer companies Adobe, Zoom, Linkedin …
Meanwhile TX can’t keep the water running and electricity on. Not very inspirational.
These two idiots make the three stooges look normal. Yup at least these Texans have homes to go back too, unlike the FIRE ravage state of California which can’t keep the buildings upright during an earthquake not to mention bridges collapsing, fires, no electricity. I could keep going but even you two idiots get the idea.
California will match your Texas in the natural disaster count any day.
Who’s the idiot, Tex?
I’m from California, now twelve years retired in Chiang Mai, in the mountains of northwestern Thailand.
But I have worked throughout Texas, Houston, Austin, Arlington, Midland/Odessa. Always great eats in Texas and I generally liked it there. Once went to a Spurs game in San Antonio when Tarkanian was the coach, so you know it was some years ago.
If I had to move back to the USA for any reason, it certainly wouldn’t be to California. Texas in a New York minute (whatever that means). To start with, no freaking state income tax.
” freaking state income tax. ”
You get what you pay for.
The crazy high California housing costs is what’s driving some out of state. For those that flunked econ101 cost reflects demand. It’s statewide gentrification, those who don’t have the training or skills to produce the income to compete are getting pushed out.
More accurately, those taker states end up getting what others states have to pay for.
It means the amount of time from when the traffic light turns green to when the guy behind you starts honking to get your @ss moving! Seriously. (Take it from someone living in NYC over 35 years)
“taker states”
Great point. Not enough is said about which states are contributors to the Federal Budget and which are dependent. Interestingly many of the latter often rail against DC. Talk about literally biting the hand which feeds you.
And Caitlyn Jenner about to run against Gavin Newsom in
a California gubernatorial recall runoff election. Here’s
to bad government, bad roads, runaway housing and
utility costs. skyrocketing gas prices, homelessness, droughts,
water rationing, firestorms and summer days that turn into nights.
Here’s to California, truly a state today like no other.

Yo bros…. missed the move by MLB, did you? Just the latest evidence that sports is politics. It’s like you can talk football, but just don’t talk coaching.
By the way Ribico, my father had been a cab driver in New York. And yes, driving me to school in San Francisco , if the car in front of us didn’t start IMMEDIATELY when the light turned green, me pa started swearing and honking!
Ha! I know I’m pretty annoying on my trips back to the Bay Area. (Yes, some people think I’m annoying here. To them I say get your @ss moving!)
What if Mac Jones turns out to be BETTER than Tom Brady? … What if I invent a time machine and become a good buddy of Babe Ruth’s?
In any case … My predict twenty or so days before the draft … 49ers probably pick Fields …
I browsed one of the newer 49er blogs and they are who we thought they were. 4-5 guys constantly congratulating each other about their “hot takes” which every other 49er fan also has thought about. Come- on- man. Needless to say I was left uninspired.
lol –
What blog isn’t primarily hot takes? Isn’t that the basic definition?
Point being, their “hot takes” aren’t all that “hot”. But, it is somewhat admirable that instead of complaining they created something. Anyway I have much bigger fish to fry.
They won’t let you or anyone else post political rants, I suspect that is why you won’t join them. Posters like you destroyed this site and the PD abandoned it.
Drop dead. Fly by night hit and run posters like yourself is what made this site intolerable.
Agree, Disgusted. Ribico has been insufferable for quite some time now.
PD’s abandonment, a succession of half-hearted moderators after GC, weeks, then months between new postings, and it’s politics that killed the site. Riiiii-ght. You guys are hilarious.
Have all the “old timers” abandoned this blog? (like Seb, Hacksaw, etc).
Hope the blog returns to its recent glory days.
Mike, Seb’s real life identity had been compromised. sadly, he reported threats had been issued against his family. Ain’t the internet grand? Houston49er, after Trumps election loss, left some screed about the sorry state of America in general and football specifically and flounced away. When this site hadn’t any news postings in over a month other regulars decamped to a independent blog started up by former regular razoreator the link can be found in an earlier thread here.
Thanks for the info.
This narrative will change a dozen more times before the draft. Fields and Lance have each scheduled a 2nd pro day this week. I think when the dust settles the pick will be Fields with an outside possibility of Lance. I have said it before – Jimmy is better than MJ. There is no way they trade up to 3 for him.
49ers on NBCS @NBCS49ers
Adam Schefter tells @MaioccoNBCS he believes the 49ers prefer Mac Jones for now, but are keeping an “open mind” with the No. 3 pick
fdh
MLB, NCAA and Major Corporations are stepping to fight the Quonon Party of America formerly known as repooplicants.
Read that earlier – impressed with the CEO’s
The REPUBS are such Hypocrites!!! Telling Corporate CEO’s to stay out of Politics yet You have no issues taking their Money!
Our democracy biggest enemy = “citizens united case”
They boycotted NFL – America did not care
They boycotted NBA – America did not care
They boycott MLB – America could care less
Their views and opinions do not shape America anymore – they are the MINORITY
“Telling Corporate CEO’s to stay out of Politics yet You have no issues taking their Money! ” “they are the MINORITY ”
Shut up and
dribblewrite us checks. It’s interesting that their party has dwindled down to overt racists and corporations and they are now throwing the later under the bus. LOL.The draft stud is Trevor Lawrence. And you can forget him. He’s going to be the #1 choice in the draft by Jacksonville. But if you could trade three first rounders to get him, the price the 49ers paid would be understandable.
very nice information you share with us. this kind of information can help lots of people.
Hello TX. NFL players face harsh consequences for domestic abuse -rightfully so . So should this Azzhole.
******
Dallas Morning News: Former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst arrested on domestic-violence charge in Dallas The 75-year-old was booked into the Dallas County jail on a misdemeanor count, officials said. Dewhurst was Texas’ lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2015. He ran for U.S. Senate in 2012 but lost the race for the Republican nomination to Ted Cruz .”
Fields and Shanahan all smiles.

“Per the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Hollis said the incident took place in the early morning hours of April 11 outside after-hours club.”
Do doubt social distancing was being practiced in said club too? :/
lol – some people don’t care – it’s freaking depressing – People are out in nite-strip-clubs as if all is good
I just can’t help but think its a huge mistake trading (3 1st rd + a 3rd) for a 1st rd rookie QB) – In this NFL business player availability, accountability and uncertainty –
If you are going to work everyday thinking the last big decision you made might get you fired – You probably would get fired.
They pretty much boxed themselves into a box – for them to target #3 that means they know who will be available – that means that #3 can never not be a Star –
Why would you bet your career on risky non guaranteed prospect – I worry because history says the likelihood of the pick becoming gold is waaaay low
And history says those are long odds. Lets hope the brain-trust is better at picking QBs at 3 than they were in the 3rd round.
Nick Wagoner has an interesting and hopeful take. Nearly all of those early pick QB busts went to extremely talent deficient teams, both in coaching and players. Not so with the Niners, so they may be in excellent position to break that top 3 QB history.
https://www.espn.com/blog/san-francisco-49ers/post/_/id/38775/why-the-san-francisco-49ers-move-up-to-no-3-to-draft-a-qb-carries-risk
There’s upside and downside risk. The downside risk of staying pat at 12 is that they never make it back to the Super Bowl. These are smart people and if they are correct in their evaluations it could mean multiple Super Bowls. Your ability to judge and handle risk can determine your place in life.
If ShanaLynch select Mac Jones at #3, after everything the gave up in order to do it, I would consider that a fireable offense.
I will have lost all confidence in their collective brain trust, and I know how lousy that feels as a Niner fan. That’s not something I can support at this stage of my life.
Are you serious? Do you believe that you are more knowledgeable than Shanahan? They should be fired if they don’t make the pick you want?
as an investor he has a stake in it…..
All this whining about “vaccination passports”, looks like sports venues are requiring just that. Here, for anyone wanting to take in a Mets game at Citi-Field stadium:
I imagine football stadiums will be following suit in the fall. At least those located in the more intelligent regions.
Last December I travelled overseas – and had to show proof of negative test before entering another country.
As usual those who are whining are clueless on what going on around the world
Good. My wife and I were supposed to get vaccinated this week but the JNJ situation has put a temporary pause on that. How is vaccination proof any different than prohibiting smoking in public places. Public health supersedes the paranoid rantings and selfish indulgences of the minority.
Well, living in Thailand the past twelve years (in Chiang Mai, in the mountains of the northwest), I don’t really care about entering U.S. sports stadiums. But I’d like to freely come and go around the world as I love to travel (right now I can’t even go far from my city, still pleasant here though).
It is J. Fields
The 49ers are in constant contact with Fields’ QB coach, John Beck, who also happens to be Trey Lance’s QB coach. Beck played for Shanahan when the 49ers coach was Washington’s offensive coordinator in 2010 and 2011, and now has helped train Shanahan’s possible quarterback of the future. When recently talking with NBC Sports’ Peter King, Beck highlighted Fields’ coachability and his desire to adapt.
Check out this pass below. This looks the route Kittle ran versus GB for TD and also in the superbowl which got called for Offensive PI. It looks more impressive from the opposite angle but I cant seem to locate that tape. Anyway, Fields has all the tools.

It’s an interesting group. Wilson is slight but is said to have elite arm talent. He’s shifty and very modern-quarterback-y. Fields is a big guy, over 220 pounds, who has had some ups and downs at The Ohio State, but mostly ups.

Favre alleges countless people are not watching the NFL because of social issues. Me thinks he is full of it.
Sage Rosenfels
@SageRosenfels18
I have had exactly 0 people say to me they are no longer watching the NFL because of the players’ stance against social injustices. Zero.
USA TODAY Sports
@usatodaysports
Brett Favre: “I can’t tell you how many people, have said to me, ‘I don’t watch anymore, it’s not about the game anymore,’ and I tend to agree.”
Favre thinks Black athletes peacefully protesting is too political and is ruining sports but his vocal support of Trump is totally fine. LOL
**********
USA Today: Favre made his comments Sunday on “The Andrew Klavan Show” on The Daily Wire. He added that he believes most fans want sports to remain about sports, not politics.
“I know when I turn on a game, I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind,” Favre said. “I want to watch all the important parts of the game, not what’s going on outside of the game, and I think the general fan feels the same way,
“I can’t tell you how many people have said to me, ‘I don’t watch anymore; it’s not about the game anymore.’ And I tend to agree.”
The 20-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl 31 winner was open about voting for former president Donald Trump in the 2020 election. When asked why it was controversial for him to support Trump but not for athletes to kneel for the national anthem, Favre said the controversy was very lopsided and kneeling for the anthem has “created more turmoil than good.”
‘I don’t watch anymore, it’s not about the game anymore’
Translation: Packer fans are sick of watching you get bounced out of the playoffs year after year after year.
It’s conceivable that some people did express those sentiments to Favre. Let’s remember that he is a good ole boy from Mississippi who still lives there. On a side note, he is the most overrated HOF qb. He played on a Packers team with a subpar D and played against NFC North teams with even worse Ds. In other words, he was involved in a lot of shootouts. He had some good games but also threw a lot of picks .
1. Lance’s turn. He is a great raw talent. I wish there was a larger volume of work from which to draw conclusions. They ran a pro style offense in ND but did he play against future pro level defenses ?
2. Seahawks have 6 former Niners on their roster. Super Weird. I really dont like them.
3. Our 2nd round pick should be CB or S. There are talented WRs in our conference. We have struggled with them the last few years.
4. Let’s not forget about Jalen Hurd. Potential Niners Comeback Player of the Year.
5. There is some good workout video of Bosa circulating. Recovery appears ahead of schedule.
Lance has been my choice since Jan. or so. I doubt they will draft him but I hope they surprise me.
I think I moving towards Lance now –
Alex Smith = the inspiration behind Oneniner.
Proud to be a fan of a true class act.
We told you he would bounce back if he had a good team around him – and he literally did by having multiple winning seasons and winning NFL Comeback Player of the Year and owning or being part of multiple NFL records.
49ers CEO Jed York paid tribute to Smith, issuing a statement:
“On behalf of my entire family, the San Francisco 49ers organization would like to congratulate Alex Smith on a remarkable and inspirational NFL playing career. For eight years, Alex represented our franchise with class both on and off the field, and his contributions to the 49ers organization will be remembered forever. Throughout his time in the Red and Gold, Alex showed how perseverance, commitment and hard work were core principles to him as a person and it was truly special to see his impact in the locker room and in the community. Alex continued to show those values over the course his NFL journey, which is why it was no surprise to see him named the 2020 Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year. To Alex, his wife Elizabeth, and their three children, Hudson, Hayes and Sloane, we wish you all the best. You will always be part of the 49ers family.”
https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1384174559369129987?s=20
A redemption story is always heartening. And Alex had several over his career.
No one likes bad cops . This is especially true for good cops. Let’s make this the era we take out the trash.
What would we have done for the last 3 weeks and the next 8 days if the 49ers traded up to 3 on draft day instead. LOL.
Just think of the collective thousands of hours saved in not writing about this, the collective tens or hundreds of thousands of hours saved in not reading or debating about this the last month! What good could have been done with all those reclaimed hours? Bottom line, the team’s going to pick whoever they are going to pick, the rest is just noise.

It’s been exactly one year since Trump suggested injecting bleach. We’ve never been the same.
Depressing to hear Chris Mortensen say his sources say Jones is the pick. While he won’t identify the sources, I doubt they are imaginary . Mike Silver agrees with him. Oh, well … I am already jealous of the team’s who get Lance and Fields.
There are at least 4 pretty reputable national NFL reporters who think the pick is MJ. Then there is Rich Eisen (below) who hears whispers that it is Lance. I really dont know what to believe. I do know that it will be a colossal mistake to trade 3 1s for Mac Jones who has as many NCAA starts at Lance.

It would be amazing if the pressdemocrat could give just 100$ a month to any one of you to post some blog entries on this site. Anyone or anything would be better than this. It doesn’t make much sense to me to actively kill it by having nevus write one less than stimulating article every 3 months. Maybe they don’t want to overly invest in the site but it would maintain or increase the old traffic with grant without much effort and money. I’m sure there would even be some people that would do it for free.
I’d consider doing it if the PD paid my annual Costco membership. That, and a rotisserie chicken every month.
Exactly! Lol. I’d write one article a month for a chicken as well! Heck i’d give them a chicken a month.
If I had site that got 300-500 responses for each blog post. I would not let that go to waste no matter if I was a single human or a company.
Im actually surprised a lot of you guys are still here for this silliness. But I’m also happy you are. This was always the best poster dialogue and insight site for me.
It’s genuinely too bad and i wish there was a solution.
I guess if 5 or 6 of us committed to an article a month we could start our own. But it’s not the same for some reason.
Looking ahead to the post-draft signing of undrafted free agents (UDFA). Once in a while a nugget is found.
Would be interesting if the 9ers traded back a few times–recovering lost picks and gaining some additional high to mid round selections this year and next (acquiring more draft capital than they had before the leap to the 3rd selection). Taking advantage of Thursday’s draft frenzy/panic.
Is this blog dead
No new posts for months
Is there a replacement site?
The most prolific posters are gone for good and are now to be found on the “Inspired49ers” blog. That blog is moderated, as the worst posters here have found out.
Actually several of the “inspired” group frequent this site and a few of them allow their personalities 2-5 post here under pseudonyms ie jollywobble. Their personalities 6-9 are involved with the AZ recount in desperate hopes that their fat orange hero and savior can be restored. Finally their personalities 10-13 are constructing an even more powerful Jewish Space Laser which will have the capability of destroying entire planets. LOL.
Lol. I take it they will be stormin 4949 deBartolo way when shanalynch pick their QB pick. I don’t mind if it Mac Jones. But I do mind the 2 first round draft picks they gave up.
I’ve stopped by the ‘Inspired’ blog. I do respect their effort–not an easy thing to do, keeping a blog afloat. There’s the usual indignant anger (rage at times) directed at 9er leadership–not much new with that I suppose. And of course, there’s the annual anointing of can’t miss draft talent.
Must admit I’ve read some of Grant’s commentary the last several weeks–not all of it, just some. Same old Grant. Some interesting points fused with over-the-top hyperbole.
Can’t wait for Thursday.
That may well be true, KarateMan. I give you credit for sniffing that out. But, in some cases, such as mine, the Inspired49ers site presents a technical problem, viz., you cannot post there without a Google-approved browser. (The lovely “Recaptcha” will tell you to “update your browser.”)
Did you attempt a post over there and find a roadblock?
Thanks Wobbles/Crazy person. Nah, I checked them out for 37 seconds and realized it was a sanctuary for older people who constantly need affirmation – “great post …..” LOL. BTW, Obamacare covers psych evaluations in case you want to get help. Good luck.

If the press Democrat gets this site going again once the football season starts, I think most of those bloggers and many others will be back. The “inspired”site has only about 6 posters and they just say the same thing every day. They mostly think they are smarter than Lynch/Shanahan.
lol – please we don’t want their noise back
This place is much peaceful without them –
Midwest Fabrication helps us with more agricultural activities by their services. We can rely on them more due to their extra step towards harvesting and farming. I wasn’t aware of the latest technology & product I could use in harvesting. I am glad I found the.
wtf – after watching the press conference yesterday – I am more nervous
It feels like Lynch is saying blame Kshan – and Kshan is saying blame JimmyG
KS: “Yeah. I mean, I’ll say when we made this decision, we knew that there were five guys that we thought, we felt that we’d be okay with taking. We knew that there was three at the time exactly. That’s why we thought three was a good spot to go to. After going through this whole process, I feel good about five guys at three.
this is what happens when you are lying – he said feels good about 5 guys at three – wtf
they are going to mess us up – I have no confidence in this b.s
He can’t guarantee we will be alive on monday – wtf
It’s getting crazy. I can’t recall any other draft where the disinformation/wtf tornado (across the league, not just the Bay Area) has been this screwy, and I’ve been following drafts–as a casual fan–since the late 60s.
Wonder if another team–wanting to get into the top four positions panics and offers the 9ers a trade down a few positions–nice picks plus a player, maybe.
Will be must watch TV.
now that would be madness – we trading our 1st in ’22 and ’23 to move to 3rd in ’21 and then trading back again in ’21 to recoup 1st in “22 or “23
I do like the 49ers in the news everyday- the Brand definitely is winning
I think this is what happened
2 months to the ’21 draft
(York, Lynch, Kshan) in the room
York – Guys what the plan at QB
JL – we have to go hard and bold – lets just go pick our future QB in this draft
KS – I agree – I really like this kid Mac Jones – he is smart – like me
JL – hmm – what about JF who is tough or the kid Lance with elite throwing skills
KS – My guy I am telling you Mac Jones is my guy
York – ok guys – lets think this through – I see more value $$ in JF or Lance compared to Mac
JF – ok – let me make the trade to 3rd – we know Jags are picking Law and Saleh already told us they are picking the Zach, lets cut everybody else out now – if we wait till draft day the bidding price might go way up.
York – Good idea TV shows talk about 49ers all month – we become the main story before the draft.
1 week to the draft
Kshan – I think I am having doubts on who we should pick – I can’t guarantee anything
JL – Yes that was my plan all along – get you to put your crazy Mac Jones idea out in public so it could be dissected and discouraged – I say we pick the kid who looks similar to KC QB = Lance or if not lets pick the QB JF who plays like a SS.
Mac Jones hype train about to derail.

Plz no Mac Jones
+1
So the latest is that they floated our pick 1.3 3rd other draft picks for Aaron Rodgers. Shanahan is all over the place. He has no real plan. He is probably a little hesitant. Reminder that he traded up for CJ Beathard and Pettis. The problem is that if he drafts Jones it will be a slow methodical disaster. It will be Andy Daltonesque. In other words, he will have good games on occasion but the cumulative body of work will be inadequate but wont be realized for 3-4 years.
I agree they are doing too much
Lots of smoke screening going on–some likely thought-out intentional, and some just funky random. We’ll know what goes down in a few more hours.
I wouldn’t expect Lynch or Shanahan to be perfectly honest and 100% transparent in the run-up to the draft.
Gonna be fun.
C’mon Rollo, Baalke drafted Pettis.
Speak truth Bro.
And here we go–Aaron Rodgers. Any drama tonight?

6. I cant believe how nervous this whole drama made me.
7. Jed York is an idiot. See his twitter the last hour.
8. Let’s get a CB or S who can shut down Deandre Hopkins and Metcalf.
9. The party is not over. They may trade up into the late first if they see someone. They did so with Aiyuk and Ruben Foster.
10. Let’s see how far Mac drops.
If the Niners stayed at 12 they could have had him. ?
Yup. It would not have been necessary to mortgage away our future for him .
Not sure who Tyler or Mark are but Rodgers to Denver is interesting with WR Jeudy and Sutton. Obviously he cant stay in GB after the last 48 hours.
Tyler Polumbus @Tyler_Polumbus
According to @markschlereth
Aaron Rodgers to Denver is as close to a done deal as it could possibly be!
There goes that one. Perhaps the GB asking price is too unreasonable – both the ninersand broncos expressed interest but could work something out.
Corners, NCB, Safeties (keeping in mind Special Teams) – are the major needs to upgrade the bench and plan for future
Big Mac Dad Bod Jones was wanted by the commenters about as much as Ribico is around here. ;p
.
FWIW I just wanted to drop in, say ‘hello’ and remind everyone my musings can be found in the comment section over at NinersNation.com.
.
Just look for the handle that shares a last name with the inventor of the internet. (hint: Al Gore)
Your new name is Al Galore?
Dee, best to ignore. Obviously just another idiot catfish cretin.
Rib, I know it’s probably prime Slime.
He has nothing else to do but hunt down Seb.
Now ho about that new QB?
Upside = great potential, smart NO interceptions!, tall
Down = runs more than he should, few games, weaker opponents
And young! 10 years younger than JG, 20 years younger than Brady’s career. He has a lot to learn and prove but could be the franchise for a long long time.
Can’t wait for undrafted free agent signings–almost always entertaining.
I don’t want to beat a dead horse but I will anyway. We dodged a huge bullet by not drafting Mac . He played with 4 of the best WR in the NCAA the last 2 years. In fact all four were drafted in the top 15. They were superior pass catchers and route runners. Mac was lauded for his accuracy but when his receivers are getting separation if not breaking away it makes it easy. He now goes to the Pats with terrible receivers. I think we all know how this movie ends. The other thing to consider is the Tide has not produced top level NFL QBs. To be fair, the jury is still out on Tua.
“We dodged a huge bullet by not drafting Mac .” I find this comment curious. It implies a superior knowledge to 2 of the top coaches in the league, Shanahan and Belichick. I can understand that some fans get all excited about about a running QB, but to dump on a guy who has great pocket skills ignores the reality of the NFL.
Reality of the NFL = Below is the NFL top 20 QB’s according to NFL.com
The only non-mobile QB in the top 10 is Brady who we all agree is an outlier
Notice the QB’s who are more of a pocket passer are 14 and below….and OLD
1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Tom Brady – Outlier
3. Patrick Mahomes
4. Deshaun Watson
5. Josh Allen
6. Russell Wilson
7. Lamar Jackson
8. Ryan Tannehill
9. Justin Herbert
10. Kyler Murray
11. Baker Mayfield
12. Derek Carr
13. Matthew Stafford
14. Matt Ryan
15. Kirk Cousins
16. Dak Prescott
17. Philip Rivers
18. Joe Burrow
19. Drew Brees
20. Ben Roethlisberger
Hmmm, where do I begin.
1. Belichikc is a great Defensive Coach and a pretty good overall HC. Most would agree that he is not exactly the greatest offensive mind. He did draft a bunch of QBs and let’s let the list speak for itself : Rohan Davey, Kliff Kingsbury, Matt Cassell, Jimmy G, Ryan Mallet, Zac Robinson, Kevin OcConnell, Jacoby Brissett, Jarrett Stidham. Brady in round six of his first draft was a lucky fluke. BB is not exactly the best assessor of QB talent.
2. Trey is not a running QB. Check out John Chapman’s twitter for good film on this topic. He has the athletic ability to scramble which will be an asset for the Niners. The opposing MLB or FS will have to keep an eye on Lance. Therefore either Deebo, Kittle or Juice will be wide open.
3. Let’s check back on this very topic at the end of the year and see how Mac performs. I am pretty sure I will be proven correct.
Because I am generous below are the Lance highlights I was referring to. In both clips TL could have run but choose to find the open receiver – who were both his 3rd options.

You’re welcome.
You didn’t respond to my comment. Lance is the better prospect for sure, but you said we dodged a bullet by not drafting Jones despite 2 top coaches believing him to be starter. I wonder how you came to that conclusion.
“Top coach” Kyle Shanahan did not draft him and “top coach” BB is not good as assessing QB talent.

Though he scrambled for 1100 yards in his one full collegiate season.
Are you using statistics and data to impugn my comment ? I guess what I meant is that Lance is comfortable in the pocket. He can go through progressions and find 2nd and 3rd receivers. He is also an elite athlete who can run if necessary.
Oh I know. Shannie wants a QB who can deliver from the pocket, keep alive and still deliver when the pocket starts resembling quicksand. Trey looks like that guy, much more so than Mac. And none of us want the second coming of Colin Kaepernick, the QB.
Wonder if Mac Jones will sign on with a beer distribitor today and live stream a tasting event–shirtless of course.
The 49ers just moved back five spots in Round 2 and picked up an extra fourth-round pick.
They traded the No. 43 pick and a seventh-rounder to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for the No. 48 pick and a fourth-rounder — No. 121.
This move gives the 49ers two fourth-round picks, in addition to three fifth-round picks. That’s lots of late rounders for a veteran team that expects to contend for a Super Bowl next season
One takeaway from the Trey Lance selection is that media pundits and “Insiders In The Know” , just don’t. Adam S bet the house it was Mac Jones. Others said they had “Intel” that it was secretly Fields. Even those who speculated it would be Lance didn’t really know, they just lurched uncontrollably upon a speculation that turned out to be true.
Better lucky than good, I suppose.
My takeaway? Be like a detective: remember everything said, and don’t necessarily believe anything. Hyperbole and bloviating.
Yup. Dan Patrick was quite certain that Jones was tagged for the selection–Dan had a ‘source’ who was convinced Jones would be the pick.
I’m not going to post the link because I don’t want to give credence to such insanity, but now some national pundit is throwing out the theory that 49ers could trade Trey Lance for Aaron Rodgers. After this last month-plus of non-stop everybody getting everything wrong, we should consider a boycott of these writers who have nothing better to do than peddle the sporting equivalent of fake news.
Next up – Treyning Camp. Live from the Trey Area.
Like a beloved Sermon offered, “you can take that to the Bank(s). I think it’s in the Book of Eli–Moor(e) or less…
My takeaway from the draft is pretty much what Kshan said – He his trying to add a new dimension to the offense -we have players who fit the outside zone strategy AND now we can place ABanks next to McG or TWilliams and run “smash-mouth football”
which is often run out of the I-formation or wishbone formation, with tight ends and receivers used as blockers. Though the offense is run-oriented, pass opportunities can develop as defenses play close to the line. Play-action can be very effective for a run-oriented team.
The K Shan central tenets: collect fast, athletic players and find space for them to operate; then run the ball to assert dominance, control the clock and keep defenses honest, opening more space. KShan loves to run the outside zone.
He also knows specifically what he wants at each position. Take offensive linemen, for instance—KShan prefers lighter ones who are more athletic, because he asks them to move laterally more than most coaches. When he arrived in Atlanta in 2015 as the offensive coordinator, he cut every lineman who didn’t fit that prototype, all but two.
QB Trey Lance – Right now is better than both Mullens and Beathard combined
Guard Aaron Banks – Perfect fit for Smash-mouth run strategy – A true power G you need to run the power scheme
RB Trey Sermon – Long Term investment – fits both Power and Zone run strategy
CB Ambry Thomas – Specials Teams + Back up CB
OL Jaylon Moore – Perfect fit for Outsize zone run strategy
CB Deommodore Lenoir – Special teams + Back up NCB
S Talanoa Hufanga – Special Teams + A true SS
RB Elijah Mitchell – Speedy RB
Looks like an easy A on this draft. – All of them should be on the bench next year – which should give them time develop.
The NFL draft has become the 3rd most viewed sporting event. Wow. I’m a fan of the Roger Goodell. All things considered he manages the league , players and owners pretty well. He grows the league and he has a calm demeanor. The other thing I like is that the NFL always has a product or event on the horizon even in the offseason. There is the combine in late Feb. March and April are free agency and the draft. Then comes OTA and Mini Camp. In August we have HOF ceremony, preseason and Hard Knocks. There is plenty of entertainment year round.
Oh yeah, it also irks me that FL has 3 NFL teams. The only team which has had any success in the last quarter century is Tampa and it was under highly unusual circumstances. Plus their Governor is corrupt and their Covid positive rate is 9x that of CA. We should recall that guy.
What, oh what, are you talking about? According to Healthline, California has had about 8,900 cases per 100,000 people while Florida has had about 8,700 per 100,000. Florida also was far more open than restrictive California. And Florida Governor DeSantis is corrupt??? What’s the source???
Don’t confuse this idiot with facts.
Hey Rob, Sorry for the delayed response. Stepped out with the family for some burgers before Biden confiscates all the beef. Thanks for you rudimentary analysis but upon further review you are way wrong. Corrupt Desantis has been hiding Covid data since the outset. But based on their known death rate , which is 20% higher than CA, we can extrapolate that their number of cases data is also deeply underreported. Other aspects of corruption include the mafia like “presidential protection fund” to help the Godfather of corruption troompy. Then there is the pay for play scheme in which wealth donors from around the world got first access to the Covid Vaccine. Finally the raid on Covid scientist which Rib noted below. The dude is dirty. No wonder troompy and his crime family have set up shop there. LOL
Bruce
Please don’t incite these mask holes and vaccine deniers as they’re entitled to their fact-devoid opinions. Natural Selection will cull their herd soon enough.
I got my vaccines. I hope you have yours.
A good analysis on the numbers and both states approaches
https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-03-19/florida-desantis-covid-awful
As far as corruption in one state versus another, I don’t recall hearing about California performing an armed raid on the house of the data scientist tasked with reporting the states covid numbers.
So the latest absurdity is the LAPD Union is asking the NBA to investigate Lebron James because he is an outspoken critic of police brutality . Most recently King James tweeted about the Columbus police shooting of a 16 year-old. Police unions are a farce. Until we tackle the unions and protective leagues there will never be reform.
The root of all this EVIL is the money the bosses in Police Unions are making. They are the ENEMY OF PROGRESS.
Break up the unions and you will see Police Officers behave better – it is a freaking MINDSET – these racist or ignorant cops will take the job of protecting ALL lives seriously when they don’t have a KKK godfather in the back room providing them a safety net for their fck ups.
Qualified immunity needs to go. No other profession has immunity from malpractice or misbehavior : Pilot , physician, truck driver , NFL player .
G Banks
6’5”, 330 pounds, Banks is huge with a 33 1/8” arms = Football is won by Big Men.
RB Sermon
averaged 6.5 yards per carry and 10.1 yards per reception throughout his four-year career = wtf 6.5 yrds per carry in 4 yrs from the Ohio state – 49ers stole this One.
CB Thomas
named the Wolverines’ Skill Position Player of the Year – the ability to line up outside and in the slot effectively, returned kickoffs and even played some offense for Michigan = this guy is a Baller
G Jmoore
a former tight end, former defensive line – moved to offensive line where he started every game in 2018 = the definition of Versatile Big Man
CB Lenoir
his most productive season coming as a sophomore when he finished with a career best three interceptions and 12 pass break ups = wtf how do you come up with 12 break ups in a season? – this guy will either be a Pest or a Thief
S Hufanga
In just six games in 2020 – 62 tackles, 4 interceptions, 1 pass breakup and 2 forced fumbles = wtf is going on – that is an avg of 10 tackles a game – this guy will be Special
RB Eli
with a 4.38 second 40-yard time – In four seasons averaged 6.2 yards per rush attempt, 12.2 yards per reception, and scored 46 touchdowns = OMG – this is madness – that is an avg of 10 touchdowns per season – the speed – the 6.2 avg – my first thought was hmm…..Sonic is a Niner.
It’s safe to say the Niners will be doing a lot of running this year. Can they eclipse the Ravens team rushing record of 3,290.
Hufanga is the steal of this draft. He’s like a heat seeking missile.
Hope he performs better than Taylor Mays.
Outstanding post, you have pointed out some good details .
Hello everybody! Is this blog dead? Just wanted to say hello and say two important words…TREY LANCE!!!!!!!
Hey Crab15 – How have you been? I just checked in after a long time. This blog is pretty much dead. But, no worries. We got our future QB.
Good to hear from you Nick! Yes we got our QB!
Hey Crab,
Check out the new watering hole:

Mood – I’ll check it out thanks bro!
Apparently there are now two jobs in this world that pay you for lying on your back.
One is the oldest profession in the world and the other is Right Tackle for the 49ers. ??♂️
Lol
Right-wing media personalities and their families have received their vaccines yet they are encouraging the idiots and morons who listen to them to not get vaccinated. Sounds about right.
Plantation shutters are always form royal look to the property with choice of varieties in the material from real wood, PVC to Faux wood materials that providing premium quality compared to other blinds and especially great when that comes from Australian Window Covering, Victoria.

It definitely looks like Rudy and perhaps Bill Barr are in deep doo-doo. LOL.
Overrated and over the hill NFL person Terry Bradshaw is criticizing Aaron Rodgers. Ummm What ???
This whole lizzy cheeney thing is amusing and sad. The party of Lincoln has devolved into the party of Jefferson Davis.
This whole catlyn jenner thing is amusing and sad. How much do you have to hate yourself to associate with a political club who mocks and ridicules you … who both front stabs your and backstabs you … who thinks you are a freak and abomination …..
Following up my previous insightful post, CA is far superior to FL and TX . BTW, NY and MI are struggling because the snowbirds from FL are returning and bringing with them Covid.
San Jose Mercury News **
California’s rate of 33 cases per 100,000 people Wednesday morning was less than a third of the U.S. average of 116 cases. By comparison, Texas had more than double California’s rate, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while Illinois and New York were four times higher, Florida five times and Michigan 10 times.
Oh yes, I failed to mention the good Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer, who took a nice private jet ride to Florida during the height of the pandemic over spring break while recommending her citizens to stay home because cases have risen in Michigan. And now she refuses to say who paid for this private jet travel. She was also caught lying about how long she was in Florida. Official flight tracking data shows her round trip was longer than initially disclosed. At this point, she refuses to disclose anything at all about her trip.
Snowbirds, indeed.
Joe Biden, in 2019:
Joe Biden, May 6, 2021:
Come on man, indeed.
Catfish cretin, post under your usual name or FOAD
I often wonder why you are so upset?
Jesus, take a chill pill Rib.
You don’t think we should call catfish cretins cretins?
Thanks for your inspired and idiotic comment. There was a stigma for seeking treatment for mental health disorders but it is diminishing. Get help dude. As far as your comment goes Quote 2 is right on. I am an investor and happen to know that China has taken great strides in EV research and development . Car -NIO and Scooter- NIU are already on the market. Helicopter E Hang is set to launch in late 2021. They also excel at next generation batteries. The US needs to step its game up to keep up. I am pleased that Obama Biden had the foresight to invest 500 million is a small start up called Tesla a decade ago. Unfortunately the last 4 years the focus was on coal – bizarre.
Quote 1 was also correct . Context matters. China is a corrupt nation. That is why Ivunky trooompy set up shop there. Donaldo is in massive debt to the state bank of china to the tune of nearly 100 Million. They own a large section of troompy tower as does the russian mob. Corruption begets corruption and attracts corruption. LOL.
Yikes!
Yikes indeed Rudy. Your Biden obsession is not not going to keep you from sharing a cell with the orange Florida man.
Lunacy to the nth degree.
I know this is an old article and probably no one will even read this…… but during Harbaugh’s time as coach wasn’t there a special teams ace we brought in from the Ravens who also used to get injury prone? I remember there being an article that he started doing different types of yoga during the offseason and through out the season which he found helped him greatly reduce injury? Was curious if Garropollo has considered doing the same in order to help keep himself healthy? By the way have no clue why this comes to me now or why I cant remember our special teams ace from back then, lol.
Dc9er, all could help no doubt.
Then there’s this. George Kittle’s sister is an acclaimed yoga maven and instructor, working with George as well
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nFHMH9na_Ps
That didn’t keep George from time on the IR last season. I guess the moral is, if you take the hit that’s going to injure you, you are going to get injured.
Oh my… I guess they all look the same, right Nancy?!
Yay! I’m sooooo glad you are taking time away from counting those AZ ballots and catfish trolling here instead. Libs like me are soooooooooooo afraid you are going to turn up those bamboo ballots and get your guy back in.
A favorite tactic in debate for our good friend Ribico. If you don’t have a rebuttal, change the subject. LOL
And on that note, while you crazy libtards are still trying to figure out which bathroom to use, the rest of us are worrying about ensuring China doesn’t overtake the United States in all facets within 10 years.
The more things change, the more they stay the same..
hey Q-boy, chill and let Joe take care of you. That is, unless you are in a red state and the Q leaders there pull your unemployment because they think you are too lazy to find and keep employment. Actually, they may be right about you.
Oh my… say it ain’t so, Joe!?!
Remember, Space Force was just a comical farce under Trumpy, but here we are today with Joe Biden giving it his official seal of approval. Sigh..
Ahh, the irony of peaceful protesting. Damned if you help them, damned if you don’t. LOL ?
Qboy, as a Republican (and it’s obvious you are) instead of posting your whiny grievances on a site that has single digit eyeballs, you’d be much better off going to Fox News or OAN forums and trying to convince your fellow cultists to wise up, step back from the Big Lie, get out of the cult before you’ve, they’ve, completely destroyed what’s left of the Republican Party. Ya dig?
Edit: I meant to post the above as BruceLee not Ribico.

The imposter is a sad mentally ill individual who has an irrational devotion to troompy and seems be obsessed with me /martial arts. HMMM, which “Inspired ” person does that sound like?? How do you like my Razor sharp analysis. LOL
I might add that I, BruceLee, enjoy Brother Blumpkins with my favorite boy toy Ribico.
It’s a boy boy thing LOL
Nah, Razor has moved on. Blog wise anyway. This has SourdoughSam written all over it, though too chicken sh!t to post under his previous handle.
Whoever it is needs help. What kind of a whackjob needs to create additional anonymous identities on a forum which is already anonymous.
Just incel trolls who’ve posted under yours, mine, Sebs, even Razors handles, always with the insurrectionist talking points mixed with f’ed-up psycho/sexual fantasies. Dregs of the internet, their stunted brains thinking they are oh so clever.
I feel like I’m talking to myself. Am I Ribico or BruceLee today?
Are we giving dizzy lizzy cheeeny too much credit. So now someone is a hero for not being batsh!t crazy and accepting basic facts.
I’m giving her no credit. Except for her role in hastening the end of the GQP.
“The party of taxing and spending other people’s hard earned money”… oh wait.
“The party of woke culture”… oh snap did we just cancel Chrissy Teigen and Ellen?!?!
“The party of do as I say, not as I do.”…. Mr. Newsom, welcome to French Laundry. We have your table for 40 ready, sir. Right this way.
And then there’s that fine example of green transportation, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D):
If politicians like Gov. Whitmer didn’t have double standards, would they have any standards at all?
Don’t even get me started on John Kerry who literally flew a private jet ? across the Atlantic to accept a climate award. LOLOL ?

Oh look! The AllSides media bias ratings are out for 2021 and guess who is more extreme? Hint: CNN, MSNBC.
Amazing, Fox News actually lies closer to the center than libtards’ bastion of news sources. Quite embarrassing when even Yahoo News is considered less biased than CNN and MSNBC:
https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart
LOL
LOL.
I’ll believe you cyber ninja, when all those arrested antifas start using the defense “CNN made me do it!”
In the meantime, Foxitis.
Your libtard comrades are too busy figuring out which bathroom to use to fact check either the Clinton News Network or the Make Sure Nobody Beats Clinton network.
And then this. Oh my…….

“Clinton”??? Lol, did your brain stop working around 5 years ago, Ninja?
First look at the schedule – I predict 12-5
Best time to do predictions, After the final roster is set. Injuries are Son of a Gun!!!
Frank Gore turns 38 today.
After 2 ACL tears at Miami, some thought he wouldn’t last in the NFL. His response:
3rd all-time in rush yards: 16,000
Scored a TD in 3 different decades
Played in 241 of 256 games
Still in the NFL while his son is playing D1 football
Legend.
WTF?
Thousands of retired Black professional football players, their families and supporters are demanding an end to the controversial use of “race-norming” to determine which players are eligible for payouts in the NFL’s $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims, a system experts say is discriminatory.
NFL has insisted on using a scoring algorithm on the dementia testing that assumes Black men start with lower cognitive skills. They must therefore score much lower than whites to show enough mental decline to win an award. The practice, which went unnoticed until 2018, has made it harder for Black former players to get awards.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy has declined to comment on the issue in the past, and did not immediately return an email seeking comment Friday.
The majority of the league’s 20,000 retirees are Black. And only a quarter of the more than 2,000 men who sought awards for early to moderate dementia have qualified under the testing program. Lawyers for Black players have asked for details on how the $800 million in settlement payouts so far have broken along racial lines, but have yet to receive them.
49ers are working out Marquise Lee. He was a great receiver coming out of USC. Unfortunately he wound up on the Panthers. KS may be able to revive the career of this talented WR.
It was only a matter of time. NY AG is investigating the Trumpee Crime Family and Trumpee Crime Inc for ……criminal activity. LOL. Since the Trumpees have burned every legal bridge and all of their previous lawyers are in legal jeopardy themselves , it will be interesting if they can find counsel to defend them now . LOL again.
I dont think Jared or Ivunky would do well in prison. Jared can get prison advise from his ex-con dad. LOL
Oh snap! LOL
Why are these libtards such racists? LOL
What a nut. Yes, blatant racism does exist in this country. We were just looking in the wrong places it seems. Here you have another liberal nutcase blatantly discriminating on skin color, and she gets a free pass from your Democratic Party. Amazing. LOL
Just like you Qanons looking for pedophilia in the wrong places.
I get excited every time I recall how JVarret shutdown Hopkins last game they played…..
don’t want to beat a dead horse but I will anyway. We dodged a huge bullet by not drafting Mac . He played with 4 of the best WR in the NCAA the last 2 years. In fact all four were drafted in the top 15. They were superior pass catchers and route runners. Mac was lauded for his accuracy but when his receivers are getting separation if not breaking away it makes it easy. He now goes to the Pats with terrible receivers. I think we all know how this movie ends. The other thing to consider is the Tide has not produced top level NFL QBs. To be fair, the jury is still out on Tua.
Mac was lauded for his accuracy but when his receivers are getting separation if not breaking away it makes it easy.
“Tebow mania ” . LOL
Former trumpee CFO will definitely flip now that pardon palooza is over. In other news our 4th worst state FL will allow casino gambling and trumpee is contemplating building a casino there. LOL. Perhaps he will get it right the 6th time around. LOL. I am not a gaming expert but the saying is “the house always wins”. Of course that is not the case when dipsh!t trumpee is running the casino. LOL
Yeah, it’s me. Going with a new avatar.
49ers just released Lee. I guess he didn’t have much left in the tank. Oh-well.

So I am an investor. A person I have been following is Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Investments. I browsed her Wiki page recently and it turns out that she is a devout Christian. Her page also states : “Wood is a devout Christian[25], and supported Donald Trump’s presidential re-election in 2020.”
Why would a devout christian support the most immoral and corrupt president in US history? I also recently stumbled upon this : ” Houston Chronicle – Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church got $4.4 million in federal PPP loans ” Osteen of course is a multi millionaire. The reality is much of religiosity is conservative because it is a financial transaction and nothing more. They all are corrupt as heck.
You are such a looser. Why not take your stupidity to a non football blog.
If you are susceptible to one con, why not another?
Indeed. Both require that you suspend reality, facts, science , math, logic and reason.
Speaking of science and logic….
To most of theses people it comes down to one issue. Pro life Vs. Pro choice.
Which is more theocracy hypocrisy. I’d like these so-called “Christians” to site the bible verses condemning/outlawing abortion.
Julio Jones is going to be 49er
The 49ers currently have Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Mohamed Sanu, Richie James, Travis Benjamin, Jalen Hurd, River Cracraft, Jauan Jennings, Trent Sherfield, Kevin White, undrafted free agent Austin Watkins Jr. and the recently signed Bennie Fowler on their roster.
Maybe, One. If that were to happen, considering the Niners lack of trade capital (Atlanta wants a 1st?), Niners cap (Jones cap figures exceed what the team has available after rookie signings), Atlanta stating no NFC for Jones, all the other team’s interest, that would truly be remarkable.
Julio had his best statistical season in 2015 with Shanahan: 136 /1,871/ 8. I’m sure he can still play at a pretty high level for the next few years, but I think the Niners need to spend their salary resources on locking up Bosa and Warner.
Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain’t no place he’d rather be. It took a 2nd and a 4th, chump change considering the reported Falcons ask of a 1st. If he had to go somewhere besides Niners I’m glad it wasn’t a NFCW rival
WOW. Two entities which I despise , Pats and Troompy, are caught redhanded in a bribery corruption scheme.
SportsCenter @SportsCenter
An ESPN investigation found that U.S. Senator Arlen Specter was offered campaign cash to stop his probe of the Patriots’ Spygate scandal in 2008. According to Specter’s son, the man offering was Donald Trump, who was acting on behalf of Robert Kraft: “My father told me that Trump was acting as a messenger for Kraft,” Shanin Specter says… The offer was Kraft assistance with campaign contributions. … My father said it was Kraft’s offer, not someone else’s.”

Intelligence on Sick Staff at Wuhan Lab Fuels Debate on Covid-19 Origin
https://www.wsj.com/articles/intelligence-on-sick-staff-at-wuhan-lab-fuels-debate-on-covid-19-origin-11621796228
Trump was correct! Now get to the washer your balls are filthy!
Investigation is confirmation eh? If so Trump should be in prison right now.
So you are both a whack job and idioso. Trumpees early suggestion that this was Chinese Bio-warfare developed in a lab was not based on data or evidence. It was pulled straight from his gigantic @ss. The same place he got the notion that Mexico would pay for a wall. There is an investigation going on and it may accidentally turn out to be correct.
The reality is trumpeee’s China lab theory was merely an effort to draw attention away from his incompetence and also rile up his xenophobic base. A reminder that he also rattled off absurdities and lies including: “virus will vanish” , ” Hoax”, “bleach”, “ultraviolet light”, ” hydroxychloroquine ” , “Demon sperm lady”, ” my pillow guy magic remedy” …
Trump is a low life , low-intelligence , con-artist but seems to have you fooled. LOL
You wouldn’t know the truth if it hit you in the nuts
So Trump May turn out to be accidentally right, huh?
That would make all you morons intentionally wrong.
Think about it. The nonsense you all have produced in strict defiance of Trump has set this country back years. You literally did the wrong thing at each instance just to be defiant. Especially when it’s being proven over and over again now that he’s out and Biden is in, Biden is doing all the same things Trump did. LOL at that you dumb—-
WTF world are you living in? Biden is undoing most of the dumbest sh*t that was perpetrated on our country in generations.
Oh look Kameltoe Harris just delivered a commencement speech to the Naval Academy, only she outdid even Biden’s worst guffaws (is that possible?) by pointing to an example of what a female Marine might choose to wear, 20 lbs of batteries or a rolled up solar panel.
Let’s get back to the solar example in just a minute because that’s hilarious in and of itself. Hey Kamala, you’re speaking at the NAVAL Academy. They’re not the same as the Marines. Who the hell elected this broad?
Now… what in the world would a Marine, notwithstanding male or female (but she couldn’t help herself), do with a rolled up solar panel if he/she isn’t carrying batteries to store that energy?
These clowns in the Oval Office are the downfall of American superiority as we know it. Sigh.
Someone, please position Kamala between Willie Brown’s knees. That’s where she’s always been her best! LOL
Nice. Racist and Misogynist all wrapped up with nice Q bow on top. Deal with it cyberninja, you got 8 or more years of whining, I’d suggest you refocus the little bit of outrage brainwave you have left on potato heads and Dr Seuss.
Everything according to you leftist nut jobs is racist. How about an intelligent retort on occasion.
That’s how it works with the left. If a person is brown or black and you are critical of anything they do you’re automatically a racist.
Update- sexist as well if you do the same to any woman. No word yet if it’s a ladyboy like Ribico.
Racist, misogynistic, now transphobic? You hit today’s trifecta, knuckledragger.
How about that for a retort, Kung Fu?
Pretty poor. Any idiot can call names.
What kind of retort are you expecting on a slur like Kameltoe Harris? Something intelligent?
Ok, since you asked Fu
81 million of your fellow citizens, that’s who. In other words, about 8 million more than who voted for your insurrectionist/imminent indictee.
Good enough for you?
OMG why does this keep happening to my favorite Libtards??? So embarrassing. In this installment of Rules for thee, but not for me! we have that loser in Michigan screwing up. yet. again.
But hey, learn from Gavin Nuisance: when you get caught, just say sorry! ?
Or better yet, be smarter- Nasty Pelosi just lawyers up her hairdresser and shifts the blame elsewhere!
I bet the P.D. Publisher and Editors are really proud of the links to comments bar today. Impressive.
It’s only a matter of time with discussion of politics, actually most anything, with right wingers until they lower the discourse by introducing their weird pornographic fantasies.
Wow, this comment is rich.
You’re the epitome of taking discussions into the gutter.
Look in the mirror. Stop doing what you’re doing. As pathetic as all this is, you and that original BruceLee guy won’t stop with the political nonsense. As far as I can tell the rest of this political non-football nonsense won’t end because the two of you won’t stop posting non-football nonsense. As a matter of fact you’ve been promoting that BruceLee guy nonstop.
Politics, and disagreement over said, is one thing. I’ll continue discussing politics on a sports blog, because the sports world is rife with politics. And I’ll call out pornographic slurs and imagery from psychotics every time. If you don’t you are just as bad, so look into your own goddam mirror.
No problem. Continue to make an a- of yourself.
About 10 years ago I had a ton of respect for you, and appreciated your posts.
I’m not sure what to make of your musings of late.
His sense of moral superiority has overwhelmed the grey matter. Hopefully someone will take over who can police this site or it will surely fade away.
Candle, funny you call out my posts and not those calling out elected female politicians in explicitly pornographic terms. Unfortunately I think I do know what to make of that.
I don’t know what’s going on with that that post but I don’t care for either Bruce Lee (real or phony). I’m not sure it was a racist attack (cameltoe is not a racial reference but it could be seen as mysogynistic) as you think but I don’t care, he shouldn’t be writing that stuff here anyway.
You’re the only (I thought) regular poster here who is condoning either of them.
That’s my only issue with all of this. Anyway, I’m not going to convince you otherwise and I’m not macho enough to threaten anyone so I’ll let myself out. Thanks
L.A. Times has a story today about the failures of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat for failing to investigate, and even to suppress for two years evidence of a local Mayor’s predatory behavior towards women. The reporter who uncovered it had to resign and take her notes to SF Chronicle to get the story out. LA Times ripped the PD a new one. PD is supposed to be the main news provider for Sonoma County.
The neglect of this site is just a symptom of overall dysfunction.
Thanks Franklin. It sounds like the PD has much much bigger issues than policing an unruly football blog. Grant was smart to bail when he did.
Rib,
I haven’t been on the PD for months, but I’ll never forget that you were the only poster that sent me condolences in the passing of a close family member that lost her life to Covid. It was a nice gesture.
But things got completely out of control with the political arguments. I take responsibility for being a part of it. But it became incessant and completely overblown given that this is a football blog.
And the blame for this falls directly on the PD management for opening the gates and giving credence to it.
I’ll never forget CW Nevius inviting posters to share their political views (because it effected the sport’s world).
I wonder if Nevius even cares what has become of the Inside the 49ers blog site, or if he foresaw the imminent loss of many faithful bloggers that started their own 49ers blog site.
I will come here on occasion because there are still many posters who are astute on all things 49ers.
Hopefully, the PD recognizes that this is what once made the Inside 49ers blog one of the most popular football sites across the nation.
Thanks AES. I appreciate comments coming from someone posting with the name they’ve been associated with all along. These other fake @sshole kiddies with a different handle each post or some stupid semi-pornographic slur name? They can drop dead afaic.
Ribico is my real name! That’s what my mom-dad named me LOL!
One of the great mysteries of this blog is what “Ribico” refers to.
Some say it is a reference to Ribico, Inc., a company in New York City. This is a strong possibility, as fan Ribico is from there. Since the CEO of Ribico, Inc. is named Victor Rink, it is conceivable that the “Ri” is taken from his last name, the “co” of course, being short for company. But, that is digressing.
Others have postulated that it is some sort of Spanish place name. This idea springs from tacking-on the diminutive sufffix, -ico, to the word ribo, which in English means “river bank” or “sea shore,” at least in some parts of the Spanish-speaking world.
No one knows for sure. Perhaps even Ribico himself cannot remember. By the way, we should all show him the respect he is due, as he was named Fan of the Year 2018 (iirc), largely for his unstinting battle and ultimate victory against Niner negativity.
On the other hand, Jollywobbles should be crystal clear to almost everyone, except perhaps BL. We found it quite amusing that he failed to grasp the import of Prime giving his wife a Genovése Salame for her birthday. But then, he is new here.
You would have thought that rated a half-time ceremony. Or at least an announcement over Levi’s PA system during a timeout. But alas…..
And people say it’s political talk that has denigrated this site. Right.
Very unfortunate. Hopefully they will find someone to keep this site going once the season starts. I’d love to talk football again instead of all the political crap but they never did police this so I guess it’s just wishful thinking.
How about starting by using your regular posting handle instead of your obvious passive aggressive poke at poster BruceLee. That goes doubly for you, fake BruceLee. Afraid to reveal who you’ve been on this site all along?
How about the original Bruce Lee? He’s the worst offender of all but I guess I shouldn’t expect you to play fair either. There wasn’t much politics until he arrived. I think this site is doomed if we can’t get ride of the politics
Funny, I’ve been using the same screen name on this site for a dozen or more years. Who were you before you decided “Kung fu” was an oh so clever comeback to BruceLee?
Fu, the thing about politics on this site, I’ve observed over many many years. The tolerance for political postings from the “no politics” crowd is much higher when said postings aligns with their own political beliefs. You are the latest example of that phenomenon.
So browsed most of VP Harris’s commencement at the Naval Academy ( 15 min on youtube) . Great encouraging speech. She delved into the evolving threats to our nation , pandemics / cyber warfare, and also technological advancements which were developed by the military. She also praised and honored John McCain as opposed to orange fat @ss who demeaned him ever after his passing. Oh, and she was able to navigate the ramp without issue.

In fact WV is giving away guns if you get vaccinated. I cant completely blame these people. They are being led by a similar ilk. Less than half of Congressional repoops are willing to get a vaccine. WTF. Embarrassing.
Democratic lawmakers in both chambers of Congress have a 100% vaccination rate against Covid-19, a CNN survey of Capitol Hill found this week, significantly outpacing Republicans in the House and Senate and illustrating the partisan divide over the pandemic. For Republicans, at least 44.8% of House members are vaccinated and at least 92% of senators are, CNN found.

OMG the irony..
The calls are coming from inside the house. LOL
The Blue states have the highest percentage of vaccinations per capita and the red/troompie/Quidiot states have the least . Gee , no one could have predicted this. LOL
And yet, the net impact on blue and red states is the same. Why is that?
Are you supporting the idea that a lot of this nonsense was unnecessary?
Blue states have reached the 70% immunity threshold. Red will be back in shutdown next fall and winter.
Not too bright
Why do you keep avoiding the net impact statistics?
Charles Schwab packed bags and moved his business out of California along with Hewlett Packard, Oracle, Toyota and Tesla. The California Policy Center catalogued 50 large corporations that have left California, “with the vast majority leaving in 2019 and 2020.”
Renting a moving truck to leave California can be 4 times more expensive due to high demand.
Steve Forbes says California’s high tax and regulatory programs have “seriously damaged the state”, which is why residents and businesses are fleeing. “California has the highest poverty rate in the Country”, he says.
With a trillion or more in looming bond obligations and billions in unfunded pension liability, California is in serious debt. Yet this governor is handing out our tax dollars as if he is some sort of mafia don spreading the wealth to buy off his loyal subjects. Union money and big dollar donations from the ultra-wealthy and political elite are pouring into Gavin Newsom’s campaign as he dumps our tax dollars down the drain.
But, it doesn’t have to be this way. We can stop this. In the coming weeks Californians will be given an opportunity to cast their vote to RECALL Gavin Newsom and REPLACE him with somebody more fiscally responsible. We can put an end to this madness and begin to rebuild our great state.
CA has incredibly high housing costs. OK, econ 101 drop out, care to tell us about the ratio between supply and demand? Is this so-called exodus precipitating a collapse of the CA housing market? Do tell. In other words those “fleeing” the state are being replaced by higher potential earners/strivers who are willing to pay those costs for benefits of residing there. CA will be just fine.
And with who? The Kardashian Transexual? The Sunset Boulevard billboard silicone queen has-been? This CA recall is the second largest national laughingstock, following the Maricopa county “audit”. LOLOLOL
And BTW quoting a discredited trickle down crank like Steve Forbes does nothing to enhance your credibility. Not that you had any to begin with.

California Defies Doom With No. 1 U.S. Economy
The Golden State has no peers when it comes to expanding GDP, raising household income, investing in innovation and a host of other key metrics.
No one anticipated the latest data readout showing the Golden State has no peers among developed economies for expanding GDP, creating jobs, raising household income, manufacturing growth, investment in innovation, producing clean energy and unprecedented wealth through its stocks and bonds. All of which underlines Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement last month of the biggest state tax rebate in American history.
By adding 1.3 million people to its non-farm payrolls since April last year — equal to the entire workforce of Nevada — California easily surpassed also-rans Texas and New York. At the same time, California household income increased $164 billion, almost as much as Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania combined, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. No wonder California’s operating budget surplus, fueled by its surging economy and capital gains taxes, swelled to a record $75 billion.
Love it. Wait for us to have to start paying those ridiculous pensions. Gavin Nuisance is spending money we don’t have. Typical.
Hey Moron,
Read up on why California has a surplus. It’s money that is owed back by virtue of paying reduced salaries and eliminating bonuses/pension payments during the pandemic. Gavin Nuisance is now negotiating with each state employee union to figure out how much of it will be paid back. That $75 billion you keep harping about is projected to return to a deficit. Even Nuisance himself admits that.

Obamacare is here to stay. Supreme Court upholds it 7-2. I guess we will never see troompies magical fantasy repeal and replace plan. LOL
Since Obamacare has been in place, mine and all of my colleagues across the industry have seen worse coverage. Specialists don’t even see you anymore, even under a PPO plan. Doctors are not covered anymore. All it served in accomplishing was making everyone pay for a few at the price that my son who is suffering from Neutropenia and Failure to Thrive cannot get any help, even from university research hospitals like Stanford and UCSF.
Everything it seems is a laughing matter for you. I wish you could come see us and why the common man, woman and family doesn’t matter at all to either party anymore.
If only Obamacare succeeded in addressing the issues that led to the actual problem instead of a 100% coverage mandate. The sources are quite complicated, but Obamacare did nothing to resolve the underlying problems with healthcare in this country. Before Obamacare at least we were making progress on finding the source of his health problems. Obamacare came in and all the investigatory/exploratory work just stopped. Before Obamacare we could get tested for various rare genetic disorders. Now, nothing. None of that is covered and is discouraged by insurance companies. They found a way to stay in business by exploiting loopholes and ceasing line-level coverages.
It was a legacy building political move.
My wife and I are so tired and frustrated that we cannot give our son the care he needs (through no fault of his own) at ANY price. And believe me I’m willing to sell the house, anything if needed. We only have one child.
Under the old system your son could have been denied coverage because of his preexisting condition. O-care is far from perfect but far better than the prior system which was allow the Insurance and Pharma companies do whatever they wanted. The solution is actually quite simple. The next step is expand medicare until everyone is covered. Also we as a society need to get more healthy – less smoking and poor diet – much more exercise.
If you really want an in depth analysis of how to fix healthcare read Dr. Atul Gawande and Dr. Zeke Emanuel.
My son could not be denied coverage because I always had it through employment.
It was not a pre-existing condition as the same coverage has been with him since birth.
In fact, his GI pediatric specialist at Stanford frankly told me Obamacare is the reason why this type of exploratory work they used to do is no longer allowed, even if I wanted to pay the entire cost from my own pocket. The pressure on providers and hospitals is real.
Look, there had to be a loser for someone else to be a winner. That’s just how it works. In this case what a lot of people didn’t realize is their healthcare got worse and more expensive in order to cover the 100% mandate goals.
I can’t name a single salaried person receiving healthcare through work that can say the care has gotten better or stayed the same. Not one. It’s more expensive and worse in terms of care options.
You’re right that we as a population ought to be ‘healthier.’ I wish those mandates can be put in place- stop smoking, weight control, etc.
My wife and I weigh 105 and 140 lbs respectively and neither of us smoke and she doesn’t drink. I have a glass of wine once every 2 months but I don’t generally drink either because it gives me headaches.
Otherwise everything else is in perfect health.
My kid is underweight at 45 lbs at 8 years of age, not overweight. Not sure what your insinuation was, if any.
We’re vegetarians as well so not much red meat, not that that makes a ton of difference.
There are a lot of issues that feed into healthcare costs. Obamacare did nothing to address those.
That right there is the biggest problem with American healthcare. Access to healthcare should not be, should never have been, an employment fringe bennie. Even employer plans vary widely in coverage, change jobs and it’s likely your specialists were out of reach, Obamacare or no Obamacare.
You’re making assumptions. I haven’t changed jobs in 13 years and my son has only been alive for a portion of that. Neither has my company changed providers. But when the same coverage is eliminated by the insurance company to make up for higher costs we do suffer. You don’t seem to understand that. And fine, perhaps others gained access to care at my loss. But it’s interesting how both parties seem to be attacking the middle classes to support either extreme, as evident from both Trump and Obama’s tax plans.
Anyway, I’m not sure why I’m answering to you. You’ve already proven your convo worthiness by how you’ve responded to me. Not sure anyone would care to have an up and up debate with you by the way you converse.
Notable similarities between you and I?: we both vote Democrat.
Differences?: you follow everything the party tells you.
Think for yourself for once. On any topic. Anything at all? Why do you parrot everything the party stands for at any given moment (because even that changes from time to time)?
.
Okaaaaay, goose and gander.
Relying of the capriciousness of the job market is no way to count on the assurance of your coverage. Fine, you haven’t changed jobs, but suppose your employer decided to change employees? There’s no guarantee any new employer would provide the same or any coverage at all. If you think that’s just a Democratic talking point, I have news for you.
Since our interaction is at end, let me just say I hope you are able to find the treatment that benefits your son. My parents, who lived in the Bay Area, had to travel to NYC to find the specialist who could treat my mother’s neurological condition. I’m sure you are considering all possibilities as well, good luck to you.
Bruce, if single payer ever comes to pass, prepare for the avalanche of right wing horror stories of coverage denied, physicians, hospitals run out of business, you name it. You’ve already seen it in them trashing the rest of the industrial world’s universal health care systems, but you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Rib, the solution is to gradually expand medicare and keep private insurance. Germany has such a system. Make it a true competition with real consumer choices. That will lower costs.
It’s cute how you talk to yourself as if you’re two distinct people having a conversation.
Also, please don’t talk with your mouth full.
Adults are talking here, run along and play with yourself.
Bruce, ACA was the first tentative step in that direction. But as long as for-profit entities are part of the picture, costs are are going to be skewed to satisfy the profits their shareholders demand.
Growing up in a military family, myself and the rest of us had the best government-funded care available. Single payer works.
That’s bullish!t. Neither I nor anyone I know have had trouble getting specialist care. Beyond the deductible, my doctors are paid through the plan. True, there are some with cash only practices, but that’s not an Obamacare issue, they were well before Obamacare.
How can you say that when it is the situation with me?
Are you also denying that PPO once meant not having to get a referral, but now has changed under Obamacare?
I’ve had the same insurance with the same carrier through the same employer year over year for 9 years.
Year after ACA went into effect, employer benefits provider told us why coverage and access has been reduced.
You can deny all you want but you can’t deny that by gaining one thing you are losing another. Did you think this was all going to be a big win-win for everyone?
For everyone to have coverage, the middle/middle upper-class that make up the majority of participants must give up benefits and pay more. I’m not so worried about the pay more part but the access has been a major pain.
When ACA went into effect, my employer and the benefits provider carved out a special benefit for my child to continue receiving care even though it was available anymore under ACA.
That lasted a year.
I don’t respect you at all for stating that my case is quote/unquote ‘B.S.’
You pretty much have lost all credibility.
What you fail to realize or choose to deny is that coverage fees and health costs were accelerating at a faster rate in the 90s and 2000s before ACA. Making the argument that things are much less bad now is not easy, but that is exactly the case. In addition the ACA also includes a dozen consumer protections which were absent previously. The real impactful change will come when private insurance competes with medicare and government can negotiate wholesale Rx discounts directly with pharma companies. GOP is opposed to both just as they were opposed to medicare in the 60s.
PS – I hope your son has a full healthy recovery .
Thanks for the well wishes BL!
I say because you made your situation into blanket statement about ACA as a whole. Yes, specialists are being seen ( myself, an ENT and dermatologist) and they are being paid. Consequently this:
Is bullsh!t
Grouse e all you want over your situation, the 10s , 100s of thousands who had been denied any kind of care before ACA will gladly trade places with you.

By late summer the economy will be roaring. troompie will be forgotten with the exception of the quidiots. LOL.
The real answer to solving the healthcare issue is the free enterprise system that has made the US and Europe the wealthiest countries on earth. Health care is the most heavily regulated industry and look where’s it got us. Anytime the government over regulates and throws money at something, prices explode. College costs have exploded since the government took over student loans.
The reverse is true when industry is deregulated. Remember when you could buy any phone you wanted as long as it was black and you could call anywhere in the world as long as you were rich. Remember when airlines were regulated and most people couldn’t afford to fly.
As far as medical coverage is concerned, everyone has it already. Some just don’t pay for it. If an illegal walked into a hospital to deliver a baby and the baby was born with huge medical problems the hospital would spend a million dollars on that baby knowing they won’t get paid. The answer is to make the system efficient so that costs come down and more people can afford better care. Of course, some people will need to be subsidized. You do that by sending them money, not by creating the most expensive system in the world.
This isn’t rocket science. Free markets have proven themselves over and over and over all around the world. Even in China for gods sake. If we could just get the politics out of it, most people would see the truth.
Just about everything you wrote is cr@pola “free enterprise, loans, deregulation ” . You’re either a supreme liar or embarrassingly dumb. I suspect the latter. Please try to become more intelligent before posting.
Do you have an actual retort? Because you didn’t state one argument against. Not that I agree with him, but your comment is absurd.
Name calling is the only thing your smart enough to do. But if you would like to give it a try, I’m up for an intelligent conversation. For instance if the free market system is the most successful economic system in history, why won’t it work with health care?
By its definition the free market produces winners and losers. Don’t believe me, take a tour of rural Mississippi sometime. A “loser” in health care pays with their life. That’s why it’ll never work.
Other industrial democracies have figured this out. Your posting is indicative why the USA continues to get it backwards.
Of course there are winners and losers as there is in every form of government and in every activity in life. I already stated that those at the bottom will need to be subsidized but it will be less than it currently is because competition will reduce costs.
The way that socialized medicine controls costs is that they reduce treatments either thru long waits or refuse treatment if it’s too expensive. I don’t understand why people think the government can do a better job with health care when they don’t do better than private industry in anything.

Oh please. You have no idea how well these countries perform. All I ask for is evidence that government controlled health care is better than what a free market can provide, given that the free market out performs the government in all other areas.
If you’re stuck on government controlled health care is better but you don’t know why. Then okay, conversation over.
Gee, if only some of that comparison information were readily available. Like on something like the internet. Or how the recipients of that government controlled health care felt about the care they receive? Do they like it? Are they clamoring for a change to a free-market system? How could one ever find out? Maybe on something like the internet.

Ribco, The fact that most people are satisfied with their health care including in this country has nothing to do with which is the better system. I have pointed out that a free market system in all other areas is better than a government run system but you have not come up with a single reason to support government run health care. Too many people just go along with the political. talking heads they listen to without really giving any actual thought to the subject.
Life expectancy, infant mortality rates, percentage of GDP spent on health care all consistently outperform our for-profit health care by countries with primary single payer systems. Jesus, why do you think those systems are popular with the citizens that benefit from them? Could it be they don’t have be worried about driven into insolvency if their family suffers a major, and increasingly in our society, minor health concern?
You are arguing against the current system, not against a free market system.
Rib is correct about single payer which makes Kung Fool incorrect. Despite the fact that Medicare-for-all is the best and most cost effective system, we should still keep a duel medicare and private insurance system. Reason being, private insurance is so entrenched in our country with employers, unions and local governments. Expanding medicare will put enormous pressure on them to reform and cut costs. 20 years down the line they will consolidate into 2-3 nationwide HMO/PPOs and most people will eventually opt for medicare.
Kung Fool keeps repeating ‘free market ” and attempting to equate healthcare insurance to the evolution of cell phones. The problems of course is that with new technologies after an initial developmental period there is a supply /demand balance. Furthermore if prices are at a level which are not within an individuals budget , they can merely not purchase and it wont kill them.
The opposite is true with private health insurance. The demand is through the roof and the supply is limited and meager. Most HMO/PPO are publicly traded companies. That means they are under tremendous pressure to increase revenues and profits or their shareholders will revolt. So how can a HMO increase profits?
1. Add more customers.
2. Deny coverage to people who have insurance.
3. Increase rates on people who have insurance.
Adding customers is laborious but denying coverage and increasing rates are simply a matter of sending a 3 sentence email. Also, unlike a new cell phone, individuals have little or no recourse but pay higher rates. This is why most industrial countries have either a solely single payer system or a hybrid system which I prefer.
Full disclosure: I worked as an analyst for an investment bank and covered Bio-technology.
“Despite the fact that Medicare-for-all is the best and most cost effective system”.
Just laughable. Since when has any government programs been the best or most cost effective?
“Kung Fool keeps repeating ‘free market ” and attempting to equate healthcare insurance to the evolution of cell phones”. Do you ever tell the truth? I’ve never mentioned insurance or cell phones.

Oh my. On 6/19 Kung Fool wrote : The real answer to solving the healthcare issue is the free enterprise system that has made the US and Europe the wealthiest countries on earth. The reverse is true when industry is deregulated. Remember when you could buy any phone you wanted as long as it was black and you could call anywhere in the world as long as you were rich.
LOL
It would be nice to have a rational conversation on healthcare but I can see you aren’t capable of it.
The current Medicare system for one.

The blinders of anti-government hatred is a pretty sad thing.
Fu, what you are not taking into account is, when faced with a health emergency for themselves or their loved ones people will go to any any means to acquire that. Our own Gulshan – “And believe me I’m willing to sell the house, anything if needed.” The more desperate someone is for goods and services the more uneven the playing field in a unregulated playing field (also see the history of black markets and price gouging of basic commodities following natural catastrophes).
There are arguments over whether a free market system is a zero-sum game – someone’s gains is equal to someone’s losses (and considering American billionaire wealth is twice the amount of wealth held by the bottom 50 percent of households, I’m definitely in the zero-sum camp). A completely unregulated health delivery system would run roughshod over all except those who could pony up the highest compensation for those services.
It appears you are arguing against the free market system that has created the wealthiest countries in the world and has made China the fastest growing economy for the past few decades. It appears you are a socialist and no amount of history or observing the obvious is going to change your mind.
The free market is all about competition. Competition is what provides better service and better prices. Only government run systems have no competition.
I’m all for the free market system. Personally I’ve done well within that system. But a regulated free market system that flattens the curves between the winners and losers that is the obvious outcome of such a system. You must be as well, talking up the Chinese system as you are.
Also, those “wealthiest countries in the world”, including that of “fastest growing economy for the past few decades” all have a government run or a government/private national healthcare system (even those hybrid systems guarantee coverage). They are not letting the unregulated free market touch that. You see, despite the right wing knee jerk slur “socialist”, there is room for socialism in the wealthiest of economies.
Covid Delta variant is spreading rapidly in Red States which have unusually low vaccination rates. Hospitals and ICU are filling back up. No one could have predicted this- LOL. Come winter they will be back in lockdown.

In 2019 troompy directed his lawyers ( the few who weren’t indicted) and justice department officials to investigate if anything could be done to stop SNL and late night comics from mocking him. This is real. what a pathetic , weak , sad little man. LOL
Here’s Kung Fool’s free market in healthcare at play.

California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra couldn’t agree more. The state’s top cop is suing Sutter, accusing one of the nation’s biggest health systems of systematically overcharging patients and illegally driving out competition in Northern California.
For years, economists and researchers have warned of the dangers posed by large health systems across the country that are gobbling up hospitals, surgery centers and physicians’ offices — enabling them to limit competition and hike prices.

Bruce 2 /Kung Fool above continually embarrasses himself. The red states economic recovery is akin to a 400 lb person getting excited about losing 20 lbs. Umm, great now you are 380. The red states are a burden on the US. Check out there economic contribution below. BTW, if it weren’t for Federal Gas subsidies TX would not be in the top 20. LOL

Okay, but you learn how to spell, first.
I’m tired of your blue state public education getting in the way of a good debate.
Because internet posting boards are known for their decorum, punctuation, grammar and spell check, amirite?
B2/Fool, you are not a serious person are you? Humans sometimes type fast and transpose words. I am guilty of not always proof reading. On a side note, have you considered trying to date one of your other personas? I have a feeling you guys would have a great time together.
First, this is a lot to pay for a rookie quarterback. This is a “generational talent” kind of price, what you pay for the sort of unicorn who appears and is so dazzling that you’d offer almost anything to acquire him.
40% of TX HS students failed math. Seems about right. The calls are coming from inside the house.

And you fail at writing.
LMAO what an idiot! ?
How was the hot date with yourself? LOL
Almost as good as the one with your sister-wife. LOL
Former 49ers GM and UCLA coach Terry Donahue dies at 77
Houston 911 call center shut down for hours due to electrical outage. If it weren’t for Federal Gas subsidies TX would be 3rd world.
Who will be the first to flip? My guess is Jivanka. Daughter wife received millions in illegal compensation for being a very special daughter to troompy. The gig is up. LOL
LOL all this talk about Trump’s team (and the legend himself) getting indicted and thrown behind bars.
Yet, libtard favorite Michael Avenatti who you blindly believed through all the Stormy Daniels nonsense is the one who winds up in prison.
Who would have guessed?? LOL
So you agree no one’s above the law, right? I’ll keep that in mind when a certain crime family whose time in the barrel is coming up soon.
$130K. That’s some expensive nonsense.
Gavin Nuisance actually admitted sleeping with his campaign manager’s wife. What, he apologized?
I know the concept of apology is completely unknown to a Trump lickspittle, but here it is;

Awesome ??
Thanks for making my point.
Can Hitler’s men simply apologize on his behalf? It’s that simple for you dick eating libtards. Get that stench out of your mouth Ribico
Hitler? You’ve gone full MTG on us. Better be careful, the government vaccination brown shirts are coming to your door, demanding your bibles.
Shut it, dick breath. ✋
Yup. Make that an 8 year old MTG. Which is actually more mature than MTG
After several days off with the family in delightful Lake Tahoe , I return to find that B2 insists on making a fool of himself. Foolio, do you really want me to make a list of the all of the troompy associates past and present who have been incarcerated , indicted, under investigation, soon to be indicted … Low-lifes and crooks are drawn to other low-lifes and crooks.
Still grasping at the Hunter laptop? LOLOLOLOLOL
A few more insurrectionists should be shot. Just as a warning to the legion of would-be hillbilly MAGA traitors out there.
Stop. Eating. Dick. ?
Did you learn that from the WSJ editorial page too?
Hunter Biden’s laptop…. LMAO. Does it have Hillary’s emails on it to??? LOLOLOL
So sad about Sam. Lost it.
Since you love quoting from the WSJ opinion page as much as you do expressing your sexual and scatological depravities, here’s one for you.

Here’s a clue for you. Outside of your cohort of brain damaged nitwit MAGATs, nobody gives AF about Hunter Biden.
Stop it! ?
I can smell that dick breath from here!
Dude, I hope this is just an internet persona and you aren’t this pathetic in real life. I’d hate to be any of your family members.
