We couldn't afford Rogers-Cromartie or Talib on a 1 year 5 million dollar deal? The weak link on the team is only weaker with no help in sight. Other then Anquan Boldin the 49ers have done nothing in free agnecy. We could've used the money he spent on Skuta and Dahl and brought in one of those CB's. I could've drafted Tyrann Mathieu and made him a better special teams player then Dahl. Baalke's failure to address the secondary is just dissapointing, We'll be one of the teams in the next 5+ years that's good but never gets over the hump. We fail to address our biggest weakness every offseason. Waited 2 years to address a second WR,never added defensive line depth, and next offseason we'll still be talking about how weak the secondary is. When you have a weakness you address it and move on. You don't go cheap and move on. The Seahawks needed another playmaker and they traded for Harvin. We have a BIG need at FS and we sign Craig Dahl. We have a need for a big CB so we lowball Asomugha and let him take other visits. Monday we'll find out that he signed with NO for 1 year and 3 million dollars. Like it or not the Seahawks are the better team at this time. If we lose the division the Super Bowl dream is over. The 49ers aren't going into Seattle and win a playoff game.
I agree completely with all of this. Against many wishes on here I think at this point I would have to really step up efforts to move on Revis, I think more so now because of the all around gains Seattle has made on both sides of the ball. They can't afford to play games with musical secondary or trial and error.
yea i agree, i don't think dahl will every be as good as goldson, with that said we could have just drafted special teams players, this one is a head scracher.
the player acquisition/team building component part of the offseason is not even half way done there's still the draft and just because there are/were some recognizable names doesn't mean that they were the best fit (locker room,contract, or skill set). our St coverage units were terrible and baalke has addressed it (the honey badger is too light in the arse to help there not to mention that we already have return specialist in kw and lmj. so i find it highly unlikely that the 5'7 170lb guy can fill the same role as the 6' 200lb guy no matter how much coaching up you attempt. Talib is a head case, cromartie is a piss poor tackler, and nnamdi over the last couple of seasons has been exposed.
the I'm better then baalke syndrome is back for another tour.
