That's all you got. How about young, rice, Lott and many others that we could have used and never did. Many did express their desire to help and were given the cold shoulder treatment.
How many times did Steve Young expressed interest on helping? Was he ever approached to help? No......

This applies to pretty much all teams. They hired their coaching staff to coach. It sounds like a great idea on paper but it really would make things a lot more complicated and would disrupt practice rhythm (if implicated during practices) - which is VERY important to football teams as they are habitual by nature.
This is something that would be much more beneficial during the off season when a lot of players do self organized work outs. DeSean Jackson (and others) has done this before with Rice.

To me this is a non-story. I know it's enticing to think, "wow, the greatest receiver in the history of the game is going to help our struggling receivers out," but the reality is that if he's looking for a low-commitment "consulting" role it's probably going to have a negligible impact.

If Young or Montana could help Kap, it would be cool. But, I guess Harbaugh probably wouldn't be too keen with the idea.

Again, this is not something I would recommend for ANY position DURING the season. If Montana/Young want to come work with Kaepernick during the offseason, great. I think if you guys have ever been to or been a part of a football practice session you'd see how this could be disruptive.
It has nothing to do with Harbaugh's ego. It's just not as good of an idea as it sounds when you actually try to apply it.
Does Rice show up during practice sessions? Does he work with them before/after practice? What if Rice's "mentoring" conflicts with key components of the offensive philosophy?
Jerry Rice is my favorite athlete of all time and is 90% of the reason I became a 49er fan (Joe Montana is the other 10%). This, however, is not a great idea DURING THE SEASON. Let's see if Rice is still interested after Feb.

Yup....not now , wouldnt be the greatest idea to throw him into the mix , maybe as a motivator for the WR's from time to time this year .....but I know the York's and Harbaugh probably arent thrilled ......but to be honest, I wish Jerry would have considered this awhile back , maybe when Sing and Jimmy Raye's "Run Run Pass Punt offense" was frustrating 49ers fans a few seasons back...that would have been a breath of fresh air ...but now that the 49ers are a success, everyone wants to be an extension of the team

Originally posted by Dshearn:this times infinity.rice would get pissed when he finds out not everyone has his drive and mental toughness,. That is not a knock on any of our guys playing for us . I feel bad for him that he misses the game so much he is using an eager media and a sentimental fan base to drive this "story',, which actually has no legs to it in my opinion
You could bring in the greatest MS DOS programmer of all time what is he going to teach an elite group of Windows 8 programmers?
You are dealing with the top 1% of wrs in the nation...that are already be coached by one of the top we coaches in football...
Sorry sounds like a distraction to do this now...mid season and a slap in the face of Morton.
If Rice wants to run an off-season camp...then by all means.
But right now...Rice is an outsider who would need to get up to speed on the offensive system before he would be of any use.
Yea sounds like a distraction
