First of all, lame joke. But, people who hate on the kid will surely find it funny.

Second, you're only fooling yourself if you don't think Singletary's words about Nate Davis aren't responsible for nobody else claiming him.

Look let's reason here...

Davis didn't impress in training camp or the preseason in the eyes of those whose opinions matter the most, namely the coaching staff. Whether it's Davis' learning disability or not, Coach Singletary and the entire offensive coaching staff felt that he was not ready. Even if he's supposed to be a project, the Niners mentality this year is not development, they need results now.

Carr is just now learning this offense, but has 5-6 season under his belt, so he knows how to play NFL type ball (albeit not pro bowl caliber, but he was brought in as a back up). Nate Davis still is inexperienced and potential is there, but that means squat when you're trying to win now, as well as Coach Singletary saying that he was supposed to push Carr and wasn't even close.

So the Niners take a risk and release Davis, sign Troy Smith who's a capable vet, who won't need 2-3 years to develop and could possibly keep him next year.

And so 31 other teams passed on Davis and he's back on the practice squad. Doesn't mean he'll stay there for long. Any team could possibly claim him still to put on their active roster or the Niners could simply release him to make room for someone else if they feel there is a need. So yes Davis is still a Niner, but with Davis' inability to learn an offense quickly, in the "Not Now, but Right Now" NFL, Davis' natural ability make him only practice squad QB at best. He might be better in the UFL or the AFL. IMHO

When you disrespect Nate for having a learning disability you're also insulting Frank the Tank. He has the same problem and is full proof that one can succeed in this league with such obstacles. You members aren't Niner fans who stoop to such levels. I don't care how long you've been following football.

Great post and welcome.

I thought it was a clever joke. And no, I don't hate on Davis, I just don't think he has all the tools to be an NFL QB.

It's obviously flying over some heads in here.

I thought our fanbase was supposed to be knowledgeable?

Does anybody care if Singletary's public ripping of Nate Davis had something to do with him clearing waivers?
