Go ahead &I pick him up Kelly

49ers already passed on him all through the draft and the 8th round, why would they pick him up now??

Why? They had every chance to sign him after the draft and didn't. In fact no one signed him as a free agent and had to take a tryout in Seattle.

I'm guessing we'll sign him for the PS squad once we get beyond the preseason - assuming he signs on with a team for the pre-season.

He'd be a great scout guy where he can play QB and flex at RB and WR.

Why aren't we signing this guy

Cost too much, not in the budget.

We have to save $ for rent because the bay has become very expensive! If we win the arbitration situation with Santa Clara then we may sign someone else but only at the league minimum cause Denise Debartolo - York doesn't like it when we spend money on Gatorade, players, or coaches.

Why arent 31 other teams signing this guy? Seattle gave him a tryout and opted not to give him a longer look.


I'd be all for the 49ers taking a flyer on him but nobody in the NFL seems to be showing much interest in him. His path to the NFL might lead through Canada.

good god

Anyone who thinks Adams is going to be successful in the NFL must not have watched Oregon football. Dude is a great athlete, but he is the definition of a gunslinger. Not Favre gunslinger, just a gunslinger. He makes awful decisions, and when he gets rushed or has nowhere to run, he just chucks it up for grabs. It didn't work a lot of the time when he transferred because he was playing better competition.

There is a reason he went undrafted. There is a reason Seattle didn't sign him. Just because he is Oregon doesn't mean he should be with Chip.

@Cianaf on twitter claimed this dude had 1st round talent lol

Cian Fahey. I think that was pretty optimistic but if you go to his site he did a good job breaking down the stuff that Adams can do well, he just overlooked his weaknesses.

Sometimes a guy just needs a chance and even the experts bypass the players. Warren Moon was not given a chance till later. Kurt Warner is another. Then you guys like Terrel Davis who was overshadowed in Georgia by players named Garrison Hearst and Hershel Walker.

People thought Einstein was slow. So who is to say unless he is given a chance. Does he need work-of course, may have to go to CFL to garner experience and do like Warren Moon. We will see. Always like to see and root for a confident underdog.

Went undrafted in the CFL draft last night also. He's now 0 for 2bin football drafts.
