Who's a fan of the 49ers? Let's discuss the upcoming season.

**Dissonance** · 07-13-2008, 01:40 PM

I'm not. But they probably should've stayed away from Mike Martz as an OC.

It's an important yr, too. Nolan's on the hotseat, as his top draft pick Alex Smith (who has had a new OC every yr seems. Norv got the most out of him). They could clean house, if they don't show improvement.

I also didn't understand their draft recently either. Bunch of developmental players, it seems.

**Basel** · 07-13-2008, 02:07 PM

I didn't like their draft this year, either. I think Nolan is definitely done after this season, and I'm kind of glad. He just hasn't done that well with this team. He did the best when Norv was the OC (as did Alex Smith, who needs to get his **** together).

I do think our defense is going to improve as we have a nice core of players there, but the offense worries the hell out of me. If we don't get some sort of passing game involved, the other team's defenses are going to stay focused on Frank Gore, and when that happens, it's bad news. Just look at what happened last year.

I'm really excited for the season, though. I have a bad feeling about it, though.

In our first 8 games, we're going to play the Seahawks twice, the Saints, Patriots, Eagles and Giants. It gets a little easier in the 2nd half of the season, but for the 49ers, that's pretty brutal.

We signed Takeo Spikes today - awesome. He and Patrick Willis should kick some ***.

Damn what a nice set of LB's. Who takes the QB competition? Smith for sure?

**Dissonance** · 08-10-2008, 11:41 PM

I wouldn't expect much out of Spikes. He's on the downside of his career. Hasn't played a full 16 games or gotten over 100 tackles in last 3 yrs.

Willis is a freaking beast though. Might just be the best LB in football already.

**Basel** · 08-10-2008, 11:49 PM

I'm not expecting too much, but it's still a great signing for this young Niners team, in my opinion. And yeah, Willis is ****ing awesome. Can't wait to see what he does this season.

As for the QBs, I think Smith is going to be the starter by the season opener. We'll see what happens, though.

**bball2223** · 08-11-2008, 12:03 AM

I know I say this a lot but why not weasel Quinn out of Cleveland? I guess if he doesn't play anymore than he did last year maybe at the end of this year? Just an opnion :biggrin:

**Dissonance** · 08-11-2008, 12:17 AM

Not to get this totally off-topic, but I fully believe Quinn will be the future and the starting QB for the Browns once everyone and their org figure out this charade that is Derek Anderson. It could happen as early as this yr. He only signed a 3 yr deal, so they're not tied to him either.

**Basel** · 08-22-2008, 11:11 PM

Well, it looks like J.T. O'Sullivan has officially been named the starting QB for the season opener against the Cardinals.

Interesting; I wasn't expecting this.

It wasn't shocking to me. Alex Smith stinks. At least try and give someone else a shot.

**Dissonance** · 08-22-2008, 11:19 PM

O'Sullivan really earned that job. Be interesting to see if he can continue what he's been doing.

**Basel** · 08-22-2008, 11:20 PM

No doubt he earned it, and I'm completely fine with the move. Just didn't see it coming.

Depth Chart: http://www.49ers.com/team/depth_chart.php

Lots of rumors going around that Josh Morgan could move into the starting role very soon.

Alex Smith is doubtful due to an injury:

Quote:

September 06, 2008
49ers backup quarterback Alex Smith has been added to the injury report as doubtful for Sunday.

“Yesterday Alex Smith sustained a non-contact injury to his surgically repaired right shoulder," said head coach Mike Nolan. "He will be consulting with his surgeon in Birmingham for treatment recommendations. At this time there are no specifics to the injury or a timetable."

I'm really excited about our defense as well. Can't wait to see what Patrick Willis has in store this season. I think he could be Defensive Player of the Year.

1:15 p.m. kickoff time! Let's kick those Cardinals' asses!

**Basel** · 09-07-2008, 03:13 PM

What the **** are you doing Niners?
