Too bad the 49ers didnt go after T.O. I think he would have been a help and would love for him to retire with the team. Don't know much about this guy, but seems like Harbaugh is on a youth movement. So you could forget about too many veterans. Right now we have a good balance of both on the team. He is a 12-3 so obviously he knows what he is doing.

Unless he is saying Alex Smith is worthy of being in the Pro Bowl.

According to a source, the 49ers have told at least one former NFL wide receiver they might be in touch after the regular season depending on how their in-house replacement, presumably Hastings, fares against the Rams. Hastings was not wearing a practice-squad jersey today in practice and John Matthews, the other in-house candidate for the spot, said he thought Hastings would get the promotion.

The plot thickens....

Finneran or Chambers, don't get too excited.

4.42 is slow?


Nah, but when I first heard about him I just made the general assumption most ignorant fans make about white receivers

that he can't jump.....

Man, f**k T.O.


A. He's old

B. There's no predicting what a disruptive presence like him can do to team chemistry

C. He's coming off a major injury in addition to being old.



The way I look at it this can go boom or bust.


Boom-T.O. keeps his mouth shut and contributes sparingly as a 3rd receiver for this team

Bust-T.O. is lost in the offense, takes away catches from Kyle Williams, creates major locker room drama and the 49ers become a virtual punchline on television.



So....I reiterate....f**k T.O. He's old and if he had something to contribute, he would have been signed already. I'm more than happy with going into the playoffs with the guys that have gotten us there not some old, haggard, injury-prone malcontent.



After all the crying and whining all offseason long about the 49ers horrible draft and picking projects that wouldn't contribute for 3-4 years, some people seriously need to shut their mouths because they continually come up sounding like drooling retards on hiatus.


but TO can leap tall buildings in a single bound
Go and hook routes for Crabtree and Swain, slant routes to Hastings all day! Maybe AS can hit over 200 yards passing before giving PT to Kaep in the second half.

This is NT, it will never go away.
all Hastings has to do is NOT get an offensive pass interference and he will already be better than Edwards

He's faster than what I thought. I hope he has pretty good blocking skills! Edwards was a big WR and was a pretty good blocker.
