Good year not to have a 1st round pick...our front office rules:

"One league source said the hold up with first-round negotiations _ only four of 32 had signed by Monday morning _ was San Francisco’s Michael Crabtree. The receiver from Texas Tech was a No. 10 overall draft pick but he is seeking top 3 money."

i knew the day i saw crabtree at the draft..with a white tee and red hat i said he is going to be headache for a FO..

A league source tells us that the attempt by agent Eugene Parker to bust the slotting system for receiver Michael Crabtree, the tenth overall pick in the draft, is contributing to the sssslow pace of contracts at the top of the draft

A Rookie Salary cap is needed so bad, so this kind of crap will stop. All it does is hurt the player. Puts them behind in the career and hurts the team. Look at Russell in Oakland got paid and they still don't know if he is worth a damn, going into his third year.

I agree rookie salary cap is needed.

But the 49ers should just bite the bullet and anti up, especially if they are going to want there new billion dollar stadium & shopping mall deal to go through

Nobody is going to cough up the tax money for that with the sh*t they have on the field now.

If they need cash that badly, they could sell bootleg pictures of Singletary's rump :eek:

(sure, the players have already seen it, but their fans haven't) :sosp:

Hehe it is San Franciso after all :rolleyes:

Still sounds like a better option then the idea of splitting the stadium costs and sharing the new stadium with the "Godfather" AL Davis and the Raiders, which has been briefly discussed

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
