Kentwan Balmer: You Better Get Your S**t Together!

this guy is a b***h... I would have traded him for a bag of sunflower seeds by now.

Singletary is being generous right now.

I'm done with this punk. If he wants to sit home on his butt while guys who want to make a contribution are busting theirs, then the hell with him.

I just signed up for the NFL Sunday Ticket so I can watch my Niners instead of the stinkin' Brownies and Ben-Gals every freaking week. Do I care if Kentwan Balmer becomes the first 2008 1st round pick to bomb out and get cut? NO WAY!!!

I
WANT
WINNERS!

Goodbye LOSER!

I have never been happy about him being on the team. Nothing against the dude, but he does not make our team better.

I'm right here, you don't have to yell.

Stick a FORK in "EM"....he's done. The only way he'll play this year is on Madden. Come on back to North Carolina and hang up the pads. Another D-Lineman disappointment. He joins the ranks of Mcgrew, Gabe Wilkins(though we didn't draft him) a couple of others I can't remember and now Balmer. He just unexcused himself right off the team. (SCRUB!)

Had high hopes for this kid but he's turned out to be a colossal bust. Hopefully they can get something for him in a trade but I wouldn't mind if they just straight up cut him at this point.

"Coach Mike Singletary was glad RB Glen Coffee made his decision now and not later. "I respect his honesty and respect him for not going through the motions," he said, adding, "I'm looking for 53 men who love football.""

I think you can apply this to Balmer as well. He's gone.

Totally agree. Weed them out now.

Just cut the bum and move on.

Oh man. Where's that reasonable1 guy at now days? He and I had it out over Balmer in this very thread, pages 3-6 or so.
Not that I would want to laugh in his face or say "told ya he sucks" or anything like that.........

This guy is such a scrub. I hope he gets kicked off the roster.

Balmer had a poor camp before he left the team, and he also struggled mightily with off-the-field issues, teammates told La Canfora. The defensive lineman is coping with family issues and has several immediate family members in distressed situations. Balmer also is a prominent figure in an NCAA investigation into improper actions by agents, but that isn't believed to have contributed to his absence from the 49ers.

Balmer received reps with the third team, yet he still failed to produce against that inferior competition, according to sources.

"He has a lot going on right now, and it all sort of piled up on him," one teammate said. "But it's like he just folded under the pressure."

Balmer was razzed by teammates about being a first-round bust, but rather than use it as motivation, he buckled, the teammate said.

"It seemed like he had very low self esteem," the teammate said. "It was like he just can't take the joke."

I found the bold a little suprising... but at the same time, not so much

^^ Wow. Interesting stuff.

I guess he took it really hard on himself when he wasn't able to produce as he expected.

Sad to hear about his family issues though.

As a person and not a fan, I honestly feel sorry for him and I hope he can take care of his business. Its not his fault he was a first round pick... I honestly had never heard of him until he was selected. But whats most disappointing is how quickly he gave up... I'm assuming he was one of those athletes who never been tested with a true challenge.

when he finally made it to the pros, he folded under the pressure. I just hope he can get his s**t together.
