all good teams have a great white hype...we need one

lol


Actually the niners have two white WR;s/ Swain and Hastings. 2 gives you better odds one will pan out

You know what they say... whitening never strikes twice..

Division 2 college. Same conference that brought you Delanie Walker. Also Rod Smith came out of the same conference and Hastings has the receiving record.

I would first like to say that, although I have been a fan of this site for years, I have never really had any strong desire to join in on team discussions here in the forum. However, I had to ask now to all my fellow 49ers fans that are rooting for a Terrell Owens return- What, exactly, are you smoking?
This makes zero sense, the least of all being the fact that the Niners staff never, at all, seemed interested in having him. Let's go down the list here, though: He is old, he is returning from a serious injury, he would be joining the Niners in the playoffs while having zero knowledge of their playbook. What kind of Owens do you think you would be getting? The 2002 version? Did it not seem like a bad sign that, not only does no other team in the NFL want him, but no team even showed up at his work out?
All of this didn't even outline the biggest problem for Owens returning which is how it affects the team chemistry. This is what, in my views, make the Niners so different from other teams in the NFL and have helped make them successful this year. After seeing how Owens treated the likes of Jeff Garcia and McNabb, how do you think (really) he is going to mesh with Alex Smith? And with a run-oriented offense? It makes me cringe imagine him screaming at Smith on the sidelines for not throwing it to him enough, to hear him in press conferences throwing the rest of the team under the bus. All of this is why Owens is called a cancer and, yes, it matters. To the Niners probably more than any other team he could possibly sign with since they are so dependent on team chemistry. However, all of this is irrelavent anyway since a coach like Jim Harbaugh would never allow such a player in the locker room. And I am grateful for that.

If Niners fans don't trust Harbaugh by now, then it's time you open your eyes a bit. Fans will continue to think they know more or know better than a team's head coach, they will criticize their draft picks, how they do in the offseason, that they sign the wrong free agents or not enough (not that anyone here has done that during the Harbaugh era, I'm sure) but eventually you have to learn that everything Harbaugh has done so far has worked for the Niners. No one thought they would do so well this year. Doesn't the fact that a player like Braylon Edwards got released before the end of the season give you some idea of what would happen if Owens was here? It is pretty clear that, since he was released that early that something was going on there. Either he was a bad presence in the locker room or was lazy, not trying hard enough, who knows- none of us are in that locker room. But it certainly leaves no doubt on how Harbaugh deals with players like that. So trust him. It's worked out pretty well so far.

Steve Young did have an interesting point about TO.

He said if we did have TO, we would finally have a WR that the defense has to worry about. Right now, all they really have to worry about is VD. Even if we don't throw to Owens, the defense has to be prepared for him, and they may leave VD one on one. Steve still thought we shouldn;t pick him up though because of the distractions.

nice job PT
As long as he drops fewer than 3 passes a game- he is a much needed improvement
I feel so silly, I see this guy week in and week out doing reps with Alex, specially before the Baltimore game, and I always thought he was an intern trainer/ball-boy...
i am excited to seem him play........

he actually catches the ball
