I am not sure how bucket head Brandon fits with this team, as he has shown as a 250+ lb back that he sucks in short yardage situations. One thing for sure is he is going to a solid team, and imagine if they happened to win a SB with Jacobs on the squad? Jacobs would probably be the only RB in history with 3 rings not to make the HOF – not even close. The only way he will get into Canton is buying a ticket at the front door. Jacobs is effective at one type of running – running his mouth….

All Harbaugh needs to do now is bring in Ben Roethlisberger, Terrel Owens, and Ray Lewis and he will have all the whole set. Or collection.

What, the, hell, is going on with Jim Harbaugh?

Keep signing Giants cast offs…..

Don’t get me wrong…I am a little nervous. I wish these were clean signings with no issues. But when you look for diamonds in the rough to save $$$, you take some risks. Braylon Edwards was given a chance and he did not perform on the field well enough so he was let go…at least from what was in the press. But was he let go because of personal behavior on or off the field or in the locker room? I don’t know but the situation was handled. And I expect the same from JH on Moss and Jacobs and any other character issue signings.

I also remember we had another guy on the team with huge character issues…some TE who I believe became a team leader and a face of the franchise not to mention fan favorite…TD!!! I just hope we have enough positive character guys on the team to continue to keep the continuity that helped the team out so much last year.

If not, does it at least include free shipping of his fast ass car to the wrong coast?

As a Giants fan kinda sorry to see him go since he has helped the team a lot in the 2 SB wins, but I think he is on the downhill anyway. I have faith in Reese that if the Gmen REALLY needed him, he would still be there.

1st – I did not like a bunch of signings last year and they turned out great…Carlos Rogers CB for one.
2nd – JH and management have shown that the Niners are going after players who need a 2nd chance, who have had some issues, are coming of injury, are coming off poor seasons, etc, but have shown to have skills in the past.
3rd – JH said he wants competition at every position, no matter how secure the current starters and backups may be at that position.
4th – personal character is something of a challenge with the likes of Moss, Jacobs and Cox. But Cox is a 2 year non-guaranteed contract…basically giving Cox a 2nd chance to prove himself, but he is not counted on to make the team at all. We are already 4 deep at the position so Cox would have to move the earth to make the team. I also believe that Moss and Jacobs will relish playing for a guy like JH…he had to deal with WRs and RBs his whole career as a QB…I think he can handle Moss or Jacobs…otherwise out the door a la Braylon Edwards.

I think they earned a little cushion from criticism after last years unexpected turnaround.

Good breakdown.

Let’s not make that big of a deal over this 49er fans. If the contract is low, he will probably be a big upgrade over Anthony Dixon in short yardage (although I’d still like to keep Dixon for his special teams play).

As far as character goes, I could tell you that we have a bunch of high character guys already like Justin Smith, Patrick Willis, Frank Gore. And that high character guys as established locker room leaders will prevent anything bad from happening. But instead, I’m going to tell you not to care. Character discussions are a bunch of crap. There have been some awful character guys who have won Super Bowls, and some nice guys that never won. Character issues stem from the top, and if you think our coaching and our management have the types of people that will allow character issues to slow down the team, then by all means, keep complaining. But if you think our coaching and our management will keep everyone focused, and make sure everyone knows their role, than maybe we should quit the crying and be thankful that we aren’t the Bengals, and we’re actually making moves in the offseason.

How many of your running backs have that plus 2 rings?

NONE you friggin pu$$ies.

That’s good business. As a Patriots fan, we have Bill Belichick bringing in 10-12 WR (All familiar names) for the competition in training camp. As BB likes to say: The best will rise to the top.

Here’s an example of a contract for an injury prone WR from Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston

“The contract signed by receiver Anthony Gonzalez is a one-year pact with a base salary of $701,000.

The deal includes a $15,000 workout bonus, and a split in the event of injury at $368,000.

When a player signs a contract with an injury split (what a team pays a player in the event of landing on injured reserve), it usually highlights an injury concern. Gonzalez’ recent injury history was detailed by ESPNBoston’s Mike Rodak.”

Enough said!

If Trent thinks this adds value to our team, great signing guys! After last year, these guys have our total faith. They have a plan, and seem to be executing their plan.

Niners Forever Baby!!!
