Welcome Braylon Edwards

Edwards haven't done much this season but I thought it was worth while read. Props to you Edwards:

Braylon Edwards gave 79 students $10,000 for collegeBy Chris Chase

At 22 college campuses across the country, there are 79 students who may not otherwise be there if not for the generosity of Braylon Edwards.

As a Cleveland Browns rookie in 2005, Edwards announced he'd give $10,000 in scholarships to 100 area eighth-graders if they could graduate high school with over a 2.5 GPA and 15 hours community service. Of the 100 who were afforded the opportunity, 79 met the criteria and have begun their first year of college. Many are attending Ohio universities, but the schools represented spread across the country and include Harvard, Cornell and Johns Hopkins.

"Without this scholarship, I probably wouldn't be here," Bowling Green freshman David Gholston told ESPN's Rick Reilly.

Edwards and his mother developed the Advance 100 program as a way to give back. The way they saw it, they were blessed with Edwards' football abilities and felt the need to help out others with their good fortune. Though they didn't expect so many of the students to fit the criteria (only half of Cleveland public school students graduate high school), Edwards didn't shy away from his commitment. In fact, he increased it.

The 79 students were provided with laptops and other supplies to help them out when they arrived on campus.

"I'm supposed to give people a chance like I was given a chance," Edwards said.

Edwards hasn't played for the Browns in two years. He's a member of the San Francisco 49ers this season and is earning a $1 million base salary for the year, just about what he'll pay those 79 students he promised to help years ago.

I hope Braylon will surprise a lot of people at least in the playoffs. We need another big body out there

I had a feeling he was gonna be a bust with us. We never have any luck with free agent WRs, we've tried many through the years and all have flopped. Many different receivers but one constant is Alex at QB.

His fans may not want to admit it but playing with Alex is career suicide for WRs. There is a reason that big time WRs avoid the 49ers.

Explain Vernon

He's a TE

you know what i mean

Throwing to TEs in the middle of the field is easier then throwing outside the numbers to WRs.

You also thought the niners would suck this year, Alex would be garbage, aldon smith was a wasted draft pick that we would regret, so on and so forth.

Learn to embrace things and not be so negative.
