Welcome to Gaia! ::

49ers free agency plan is a failure.
It took us forever to find an offensive coordinator.
We got played by Kurt Warner... Yeah...

Anyway, as for what we did get, we got Takeo Spikes to resign. A good move.
We actually have a decent fullback. Not some Mike Martz fullback.
We signed Brandon Jones. No idea how good he'll be. He should do alright I think.
Damon Huard is signed. A good veteran prescience at quarterback.
Alex Smith restructured his deal. I still believe Alex can still be good.

That's really all for the big stuff.

Overall... A big fat F. We have nothing.

I didn't say the team was a failure. I said what they did during free agency is a failure. We have all this free cap space and we did nothing with it.

If I were to grade the team, I would give them a C-. We have pieces everywhere. Our linebackers are solid I think, although another wouldn't hurt. Gore is a hard runner, now he just needs to be a smart one. Shaun Hill is a winner. 7-3 in 10 starts. That's good in my book. Nate Clements is a good corner. He really only got beat by Terrell Owens last season. Otherwise, he did a really good job, especially on Fitzgerald, Bolden, and Holt in that division. Offensive line, I think Staley will be a beast. Heitman has been pretty good for a while.

Still our problem remains both the offensive and defensive line. We also need safeties. I like who we have at wide receiver though. I think Jason Hill and Josh Morgan could develop into good receivers. Maybe we can try to get Holt to teach the young guys?

Seattle Seahawks.... I give them a C+.

Defense:
They traded away OLB Julian Peterson to the Lions for Cory Redding, who I think will be a bust because he's going back to DE in Seattle, hopefully taking over for the inconsistent Darryl Tapp, and for a 5TH ROUND DRAFT PICK! I dont care if Peterson is going into his 10th season, he still plays like he's 25, and was one of the few things good about Seattle last year. I think they should have at least gotten a 3rd rounder. Colin Cole from the Packers was a waste of money, losing DT Rocky Bernard was a good thing, he got in trouble with the law too much last year in the offseason. They still need a beastly DT, I hope they draft B.J Raji with their first pick if they go with defense. Grade: C

Offense: They Got T.J Houshmanzadeh. Big bonus there, Though I think they should have went after Derrick Ward at Running Back, because they need one as they gave up Maurice Morris to Detroit. Julius Jones is not a starter by all means, T.J Duckett is a goalline animal but thats it, and they're 5th round rookie from last season, Justin Forsett, is unproven, but a good special teams runner. Hasselbeck is still there. Draft choices.... 1st Round, Either RB Knowshon Moreno or OT Eugene Monroe. 2nd round... QB Josh Freeman or Rhett Bomar. Grade: B

Just some Knowledge from me, hope I can start a converstaion from this.

My rule for drafting QB's is to get one while you dont need one, so he can learn under a veteran for a few years before he starts a game. Proof: Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner.

You never draft a star QB from college and start him right away! Proof of this: Ryan Leaf, Andre Ware, Brady Quinn (sort of), Tim Couch, J.P Losman, Matt Leinart, Brodie Croyle.

There are many others for both Good side and Bad, But I cant name them all right now.

Lol Sage Rosenfels...Vikings get an F so far in my opinion...

That is good. I can almost guarantee you that Philadelphia lost in that bracket as well. But as I finally calmed down and looked at the big picture, especially with the addition of FB Leanord Weaver, it looks like Philadelphia has set themselves up maybe not for this year, but with this draft class and the maturation of last years draft class, to take it farther than most are expecting. Just with the Sean Jones, Stacey Andrews and Leanord Weaver signings, they have taken care and even in a sense upgrading to younger and faster. They are now able to focus on their needs for the draft and the few positions they are needed.

One thing that I have looked at since I calmed down is game film of those players they brought in. Weaver is a serious upgrade since Philly never had a true FB since John Ritchie. Stacey Andrews until he went down with his injury last year, kept getting better and even kept the best of the DE's in the league under check better than most. He was supposed to be the most highly saught after OT ever last year until the Bengals franchised him. His injury deterred some, but he was still highly saught after this year as well. Philly just had his brother on their team so that was probably the biggest reason why he came here. Plus he has allowed very very few sacks overall. He is also bigger than John Runyan and more athletic. He also has the mannerism as Runyan did. Sean Jones is very very intruiging. He rankes 3rd in the league to have 14ints since 2006 and one of only 4 players to have 4 ints every year in each of the past three seasons. He is a sidelines to sidelines player who has experience at both positions and is just as good against the run as in coverage. He only has been in the league for 6 years and only because of the team he was on has he not been given national highlight. As for the other players, they are good camp bodies and if they make it, pretty decent ST players.

That is very true, my friend, but the ratio of success for a rookie starter is far more in favor of failure then success, QB's like Tim Tebow in the system they run at Florida need to be trained in the NFL QB ways, because they dont run the option offense very much at all like In college where that offense does very good. I find it weird that Dude-LAP nmever entered this conversation. He usually has something good to say.
