Anyone Else Hate The Media? | Page 11

IHATELOWELLCOHN · 2015-06-10T01:06:30-07:00

I'm getting real close to not clicking on any article regarding the 49ers unless it's by Niners Nation or the Webzone itself. Wether it's a former player turned analyst like Chris Canty saying best case scenario this season for the 49ers is to get the top pick in the draft or it's a local media member like Eric Branch twisting a player's words to make his article sound more dramatic it just seems like it's open season on the 49ers. We were 8-8 last season not 1-16 and we coulda shoulda woulda had at least 3 more wins, even with the craziness. Kap goes from one of the best young QBs the league has seen to a "remedial" QB who can't read a defense and only wants to run after his first read isn't there. Nobody talks about the 300 yard SB performance and playoff wins after one down season, it's like he was never there. According to some of our local writers he's a lost cause. It's so funny to me how the media acts like Harbaugh was the only reason for success when they hated giving him any credit when he was our HC. I know it doesn't matter what anyone thinks but the 53 guys in that locker room come week 1 but there just seems to be an inordinate amount of hate for my team. We got criticized for keeping McDonald on the team last year then got criticized for releasing him. Every player that retires is because of the front office and not because they made a personal life choice. Every player we took In the draft is a reach and Jim Tomsula and the new coaching staff is a joke. I like the way he has run the OTAs and his reasoning for not pushing and playing certain players until training camp. I also like the pace he has set in practice and the way he has rotated players in an out of different positions and installed a fix it period at the end of practice, all things the old coaching staff by all accounts may not have been doing or pushing. The attendance this off season was excellent. It's not much to go on because he is a first time HC but I would rather judge his progress off of those things than what he looked like during his first presser. The building seems to have a more positive vibe and the players seem rejuvenated but that's what every team says this time of year right? When it's something that isn't looked at in a positive light stories are all about how negatively it's going to effect our season but when something positive happens are the stories about how it may contribute to a winning season? Nope, it's still the off season and every team says good positive things this time of year. What a joke. One of the really irritating parts is if you read the blogs and people's posts they are like recycled media articles repeating the same things they have read. Personally I am excited for this season and the infusion of youth on the roster. Kap realized his shortcomings and is trying to improve himself and just the fact he realized that he needed to be coached up this off season was IMO huge by itself. He's had a lot of success early and it would have been very easy to chalk last year up to a bad season by everybody and continue to do the same things he's done to this point. I like Mangini running the D and love Logan as our new QB coach. I have always liked Clancy Penderghast and even though I'm not sure about Chryst I won't judge him off his stint in SD because his talent was horrible. He was a hot coach as recently as 2013 and would have been Roman's successor if he would have left and Harbaugh was still here. I like our WRs coaches and Rathman is still here. We lost some great Niners but most were past their prime or overpaid by other teams and we didn't win with them. Speaking of the roster a lot of media and fans act like Baalke wasn't one of the factors for the team's success but Harbaugh magically transformed them into winners and won despite Baalke. That's just stupid. I just think people are taking shots at the 49ers because it's the thing to do. I get the fan hate from other teams because people hate teams that are more successful than theirs. What I don't get is the hate from a lot of our own fans and the hate from the media and former players now turned analysts. It's always something negative on TV or on the internet. Give this thing a chance we weren't getting better we were getting worse, I don't understand why that is a mystery to people. Every year in every sport there are teams that make the media look like idiots and I am sure the 49ers will be one of those teams this year. What makes me sick though is the same media people and fans bashing the team now will only lightly gloss over how wrong they were when the Niners win this year. I've stopped reading Lowell Cohn and his idiot son, Tim Kamakazi, Ann Killion and Florio. I've stopped watching the NFL Network and Pro Football Talk because everything is about the Pats, Hawks, Giants and Cowboys and when there is a Niners story it's not good or an opinion on how bad they may be. They don't have faith in Kap but think Carson Palmer and Nick Foles are something special? I'd rather have Kap than both of them and he has won more than either of them. I know I'm being defensive because it's human nature to protect something you love when everyone gangs up on someone or something but IMO it's been overkill this off season. If anyone else feels this way let me know. I just needed to blow off some steam because although the Branch article wasn't that bad it was just another example of in Eric Reid's words someone creating drama for clicks at the expense of my team.

they don't do their jobs well

make a list of questions you would've liked to have asked Tomsula after today, I promise you they didn't ask any of them

same guys who b***hed about Harbaugh, despite him giving them plenty to write about.. I don't know if they're just lazy or inept, but they're not good at what they do

Barber is pretty funny. Clearly tongue in cheek. I think it's a shot across Grant's bow.

Stephen A Smith insinuated Kelly is starting Gabbert because he's white, so therefore he must be a racist. The fact that Gabbert has way more reps in this new system has nothing to with it.
