Lord Tolzien has no time for racquetball. He is too busy writing his HOF induction speech for 2032.

Josh Johnson will force Kaepernick to step up if he wants to keep his #2 spot, its a great aggressive move,I like it.

Jim Harbaugh made it clear to newly signed QB Josh Johnson that Alex Smith is the 49ers' starter.

On a serious note, I agree that this is awesome.
Also, I bet Harbaugh won.

Your take is pretty off-base. First he is at a minimum a quality camp arm and makes every rep that much better. Who was the additional Qb's of the past? A nobody from sacramento, a running QB from West virginia, and dyslexic Nate. In order for a team to build on its young foundation a coach has to ensure every rep counts… hard for receivers to work on their craft if they dont have talent throwing to them.
Second the most obvious point, competition. No its not that the niners arent satisfied with last years results… its that Alex is finally looked at as the guaranteed starter, so unlike in prior years he will not be playing much in preseason. That allows the staff to get a better look at their options behind Alex in game situations so why go into preseason with CK, Tolz, and random scrub. If you're gonna have 3 guys competing for 2 backup spots, why handicap it with a QB who's just a camp arm with no real shot at landing a spot.
cohn doesn't care to actually read anything that makes sense, he liks typing stuff to get people riled up. He's basically just a troll.
Grant Cohn is a troll, for sure. He is a yellow journalist, more suited to the National Enquirer than the PD. His only interest is to offend and insult his readers.
True, and hes shown his colors at the end of the season last year. He started out strong but lately he's just turned into his dad, potentialy decent blog wasted.

I've been predicting this for at least a year (hey, I've got to get one right once in awhile!)...it makes a ton of sense. First and foremost, it puts a veteran behind Alex. JJ has some skills...he's very quick, can throw short or long, can scramble for a 1st down with ease and really provides some insurance should something happen to Alex. He knows Harbaugh's offense...his learning curve will be short. I love this move...it solidifies the QB position. Man, we all need to tip our caps to our FO...IMHO they're doing a terrific job this off-season. Add Fleener and a top OG to the offense and watch them go...this is going to be a very exciting season.

Yeah, this is what I was summing up in my head. -I consider JJ to be a long-term investment at continuous 1-2 year cheap backup deals (like Walsh did with Steve Bono when Bill was positioning Young to take over for Montana in the late 80s; going into the 90s).

I like this signing. He will be good insurance. Can always use decent back ups.

Hehe I always felt bad for Bono. He probably could have started on a few teams.
