Are we seeing a horribly managed free agency? Or something bigger?

OK he is an enigma wrapped in a mystery, a loon of the highest order and he might have hands of granite but still...that would be impressive. Exciting even.
Wonder how quick Crabtree would yank off the bandage (and learn routes) too ?
Hmmm.
hands of granite? Braylon had 1 drop last year
Hey, be fair you highlighted the wrong bit... .
PS Really like the Whitner signing, surprised we're letting Mays walk (can't be a big contract surely ?) and Goldson (according to his recent tweet), not surprised with the heavy handed approach. Not sure what to make of this organisation's handling of players this offseason, worries me slightly.

This is post number 2,700 for dtg_9er.
We don't know what happened with Goldson. Did he demand too much and refuse to budge? Did he threaten not to come back? Or did the FO disrespect him somehow? My guess is that Goldson overplayed his hand and the 9ers found a way to solve the S problem without him. It's not as if he made huge strides last year...if I recall correctly, he regressed. So Whitmer is a good replacement more moves may be made as teams dump salary cap vets.

Funny to watch how the tone of this thread has changed over the past few days as the 9ers added Carlos Rodgers, Jonathan Goodwin, Dante Whitner, and now Braylon Edwards in quick succession. Most of them were high draft picks and have some talent and came relatively cheaply.
Some crow should be eaten!

Being highly drafted doesn't mean a thing.... they all have major limitations.... but we have at least decided to participate this year.... credit to Baalke for reacting to all the bashing he has been getting.... I guess....

They all are upgrades. A high draft pick is on average better than a low draft pick. Baalke did what he said he would from the beginning. He may not have been reacting to you!

Now that the coaches have seen a bit of the players and put their requests into Har/Baalke we are seeing movement. So now we have players, now we get to see if the coaches can develop a team out of all of these players. All is not won yet but at least we are active and in my opinion we have improved talent wise, how much remains to be seen on the field.

It will be a huge challenge to integrate the new players and teach a new system with coaches who don't know the players and a shortened preseaon. We might need to be patient for a few games...

Honestly I think the addition of Goodwin and Braylon are huge. They both come from teams that have played in super bowls and championship games. I hope they bringing the winning influence to our hungry players.
