We have to resign Tony Wragge to compete for starting job here.

Yes! Give him a deal with extra incentive if he is the starter.

It's amazing how we've been so unable to put our players in the best position to succeed. This is most evident in Baas:
1. We draft him at the top of the 2nd round after he dominated as a C in college.
2. We move him to guard where it doesn't work for 4 years.
3. We then move him to C only because circumstances necessitated the move and then he goes to have his best season and subsequently leaves to the Giants.

Without Baas, who are our best options? Kilgore? Pearson? A FA? Baas was the best FA C available.

Mike Nolan is an idiot. He set us back a good 4 or 5 years. Draft a college center well lets move him to OG. Get Manny Lawson inexperienced as it is DE but oh wait move him to a 3-4 LB. Draft players for the position you need, we can't be messing around. We are not good enough of a team to do that. Take a one year guy from Utah played in a non pro spread offense over, nevermind...

If your call is to just resign our garbage free agents, then yeah, I think you should just go back to playing Madden.

I wouldn't have let Baas go though. Good centers are hard to find, and it's one of the hardest positions to play as well. Baas wasn't great, but he wasn't the problem on our line.

Only way you get rid of a solid performer is if you have a lined up a star.

I mean...we dont have heitman this year? so..what gives?

THis confuses the junk out of me. If we lose anymore guys, i'm going to start thinking baalke may not be the right man for the job. You can't just let talent walk out the door without even trying...

The 9ers got tired of everyone misspelling his name.

we're tanking the season to get Luck...why let 2 solid veteran leaders and still productive athletes go? especially when one of them is an area of great need (Center) because of injury to others....

that is a red flag to me.

Holy Jeebus! You know those movies where certain soldiers on the line go running off in the other direction once the abundant enemies are seen coming through the forest?

Yeah... let's don't be one of those guys.

sorry guys, i'm stressed out because I'm in job limbo and will most likely be moving and don't have any certainty on anything at the moment. I just realized i'm being whiney, not characteristic of me.

I'll say this. Thank God we at least get to watch football this year. Go niners.

What's your opinion of Harbaugh? Must be an idiot too, right? He just drafted Aldon Smith a college DE and plan to move him to a 3-4 LB.

Given the prevailing attitude on the Zone, this will probably be good news to most folks...

Must be. Because Harbaugh drafted him right. Because he is the Gm on the team who made the decision right?
