Yeah, DNiner, but a "bad blood" situation(sucker punch of Baldwin by a veteran) kinda gave them no choice. Doesn't change the fact , tho, that our F.O. burned them twice. It seems the football Gods are smiling on us when an unarguably bad 1st pick last yr turns into a real threat this yr. And saved us something like $2.3 Mil in the process. Amazing.
Oh, yes, and don't forget that it is becoming more and more apparent our GM and HC are substantially better than whoever is in 2nd place.
Think we'll have to wait to see if we burned the Chiefs...once, twice or never. If Smith plays well and leads them to a winning record for the next few year then he is a good stop gap. If he plays better and they are in the Super Bowl hunt then they got a steal. Same with Jenkins. He didn't show much in SF but what if he learns that life is tough and you actually need to fight for what you want?
If neither Smith or Jenkins amounts to anything then the niners got two steals.
