Nyu-kun 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.
First all, the Fullback we brought back was Moran Norris, the Fullback who blocked for Garrison Hearst when he gained his pro-bowl 1,500+ yard season three years ago. Bringing him back will more than likely boost the 49ers Running game back up to where it was a few years ago when it was one of the best in the league.
Also with Jonas Jennings on his way out, the 49ers have a vacancy at that position, which sources say they are looking to fill with Pittsburgh Steelers free-agent tackle Marvel Smith, A California born native. Adding him would not only benefit our quarterback protection, (55 sacks last season) but better equip our line to help realize Coach Singletary's run first offense.
Bring Back Takeo Spikes was #1 priority for us going into free agency. While Spikes and Willis might not be thee best inside linebacker duo in the league, they were top notch and the anchor for that defense. Another year with those two on the inside is a must for the Defense.
Did we make any HUGE aquisitions this off season? Not really, but I wouldn't say they get an F.
I would give them a C-/C for now

ChainedShadow vegito61283 ChainedShadow 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. Well I can give you a couple that go against the start him right away. Well 1 for almost sure. Donvan McNabb may not have started the beginning of his season, but he was in a little past half of the season. He has started ever since and been very successful stat wise and win wise. Just not the big one. Also, wasnt Peyton Manning starting in his first year? Also if you were to look at this year, both the rookie QB's for Atlanta and Baltimore were beautiful. 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. Well I was busy outside of Gaia when that was posted. wink The only reason that the ratio of success for a rookie starter is far more in favor of failure than success, is because the QBs usually end up on bad teams. Some teams with a horrible head office and bad personnel take a QB, in desperation of needing a franchise-type guy and an offensive gem. Not to mention the QB is still young, and not too insightful about the professional game. As for Tebow, I actually think that he can be a good NFL QB. Everybody knew that he was smart, a hard worker, and natural leader. Physically, people always knew that he could be a threat by rushing the ball. Last season, he proved that he is able to throw the ball well. One more year at Florida will sharpen his precision and arm strength. He might be a risk, but get him with the right coaches and right players, and he'll thrive.

He's a great QB but he's getting all this flak for not doing reciever drills. And so what if he's shorter? Len Dawson was short and now he's in the HOF! I wish I was a scout for a team.

Both should do alright, with the right players and coaches. Build a team around these guys, and let them mature themselves in.
