Monty Montgomery was another starter that should have been a #4 CB or on someone elses practice squad, but chasing around #1 and #2 WR's for us

I remember when we signed Walt Harris, he was probably in his early 30s, had an average career w/ previous teams Chicago, Indy and Washington. Many of us back then questioned signing Harris...and guess what? He had a monster first season as a Niner w/ what...8 INTs and made his first Pro Bowl. Not say CB James will have the same impact, but Baalke, Singletary and others saw something in him to warrant this signing. So, hope he surprises many of us by showing he's still got the ability and veteran experience to contribute in the secondary.

Maybe, it could turn out that way but I would not bet on it. Will James (Will Peterson) was a very good player for the Giants but then he hurt his back and he has never really been the same.

He probably shouldnt make the team. Bly and Walt are better. Much better.

People need to get realistic about the market right now...it's not like there's a young, pro-bowl CB in his prime sitting at home waiting to sign a 1-year deal to come play here. We needed veteran depth, and that's all James is.

Harris is too old and coming off a knee injury (bad combination for a defensive back), and Bly doesn't exactly have teams beating down his door to sign him. There just aren't very many high quality options left at this point.

Amen this is the reality and at least this signing doesn't make me feel like OH CRAP that sucks.

Well he has speed, and our secondary can use that.....
ex:

As I'm watching too things came to me 1. How the hell does Michael Jenkins (not a burner) catch up to and pass Clements and Roman to get in front of them? 2. If there is ONE person that you expect to catch White who is it? ...Patrick Willis. It would be nice to have a "cover corner" with some speed.

LOL .. now this was one of the saddest plays of the whole season last year .. Clements and Roman have no wheels .... I still got love for Nate though ..

we just signed THAT guy for corner depth..

Wow

because no one ever messes up... we only signed him for depth not like he is going to be a starter, dont see why more competition is disgusting?

some of us just wondering why we are signing will james and karl paymah when walt harris and dre bly out there

Very good question - hopefully, we can resign at least one of them, but I don't know how James' signing would affect this.

Lot of unknown variables. Not sure if Walt is going to return. I think the team is done with Bly. Probably done in the NFL, as well.

I love this video. It is what this year is going to be like.Our offense is gonna kick ass. Not worried about james, he's not gonna start. If anything, he will get better practicing against Crabs and Vernon.

maybe more like marquez pope or the small guy mcmillan

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss either Paymah or James...they're both experienced and solid players. Bly's more flash than cash and Harris is coming off a serious knee surgery, plus his age has to be catching up with him. They both seem like good signings to me...

is this guy really a upgrade over Bly?
i know he is youngerthen Bly but i dont know bout picking up former Detroit Lions PERIOD!!

???? all across the board on this one

Another lame move by Singletary--if Spencer goes down this year, this secondary is DONE!

We have no pure cover DB besides Spencer. Dre Bly actually played much better than Tarrell Brown last season so why is he not back???

If Bly is so good, why is he still unemployed?

Don't worry your poor attempt at trolling hasn't gone unnoticed. Remind me again when Sing was given authority to sign players?
