Wow, so he's two faced? In other words, his demeanor in public is different from his private personality? I don't know if thats good or bad, but folks like them usually populate the political realms. I usually stay away from folks like those.

I don't recall Johnny Dell ever being on Grant's podcast. I could be wrong though. I hope you get on the podcast of guys like Lombardi, Kruger and Maiocco than Grant. I just hope Grant isn't just using you or your information, but that's just me.

His tough question to Kyle and Lynch regarding "draft reaches" was a major talking point nationally. I think his glass half empty approach is actually good for business. Everyone else seems to be the polar opposite and that gets boring. I'm not a fan of reporters but l can see how GC's "Howard Stern shock jock" approach works in this clickbait society.

I don't know. I really didn't learn anything new after the Grant Con brouhaha. Its a *so what* kind of conversation. So what if Kyle reaches. Every NFL team has their preference. None of them follow consensus. It was much ado about nothing really.

I don't learn much from any media spin, I think the entire thing is entertainment at this point and GC has decided to entertain his way.

If anything the guy is unique.

How is he unique?

He's like a unicorn or an outlier, he almost never gives the company line but always speaks HIS truth.

he's no unicorn, more of a donkey

Another Bayless wannabe

There's a difference to reporting with a negative lens, and drumming up controversy for clicks. Grant doesn't help anything, he latches on to whatever negative thing he can be it valid criticism or made-up whole cloth. I can't believe we're still arguing about this shitheel twenty years later. But I'm no longer surprised by this country's idiocy and penchant for following terribly stupid people who say things confidently.

Sounds like what you are saying is, the problem is everyone else in the country is dumb and your so smart?

It is a factual statement that America has become dumber over the past few years. It's embarrassing how over half of the graduating seniors in this country were historically bad at math, science, and reading.

Get your eyes checked...

Thing is these guys know as much about football and scouting as I do. They know even less about players our coaches want for their systems

I have to admit — initially, I was skeptical of the Stribling pick. Had serious misgivings about it. Felt it was the wrong selection.

Until today, when I saw him warm up, go through wide receiver drills and take mental reps during 7 on 7s. Now, my opinion is exactly the same.

lol

Cohn is suuuuuch a douchebag. I'm not sure what posting his meaningless b******t says about you.

It means I don't get my panties all in a bunch over ridiculous takes and can laugh if off. Some should take a CHANCE and learn from this.

I don't follow little bitches like Grant Cohn. But you do you.

lol who said I followed him, his post pops up and I laugh it off, but you stay mad as you do.

Grant is needed as is Lombardi, they are the Yin and Yang.



Good Cop and Bad Cop

Just a reminder guys, if you're adding pictures to a post that they don't break the rules of the forum.

Nah he's a little b***h. It's just his comments about Stribiling that annoyed me.

Spamming is against the rules here too

you don't need to post crap is his point

I see Cohn for what he is a clickbait specialist who understands what gets him clicks and $.

Do I like seeing his posts here giving him more $...no but it's not against the rules. I do find him humorous just wish he kept his personal bias out of his evaluations because his camp coverage is one of my favorites and he does ask questions other media members are scared to ask. It may be the ahole in him but it does produce good content for us to talk about.

We all should understand his goals and take them for what they are. 49ers by all accounts reached for Stribling. To Grant it means it's in his best interest to dog the pick and take any opportunity to display it negatively or in snarky fashion. Same for Black, which is why he was the only media guy to only bring up the "dropped" pass by Black on a poorly thrown ball while most others have talked about him looking really good running routes and catching passes outside of that play.

Let him talk his smack and hope that he looks just as brilliant as when he was trying to talk the 49ers out of making the giant mistake of drafting Nick Bosa...

I just bumped the GC thread over in NFL talk, lets keep the conversations where they belong.

Cohn is a dipshit who's whole shitick is about rage bait and being unserious. For whatever reason a bunch of online morons jumped on the bandwagon because it's an easy way to make a buck.

Grant is a nepo baby of "sport writing" lol

the thing with him is it doesn't matter if he's wrong, he just pushes the next rage bait scenario. There's never any accountability.

Social media has ruined so many good things. I feel for Stribling and Black. Haven't even played a down and the sports grifters have already pounced all over them….Wish people online didn't get paid based off engagements. We'd have more honest and objective dialogue that's for sure.

if Ricky gets another paper tissue hammy in camp he mind find Strib takes his job

Stribling like any other rookie has to master the scheme first to get playing time. Let's worry about that first.

Pearsall btw has only had one small hamstring injury and came back for training camp, season.

Best thing for our offense would be to have Evans, Pearsall and Stribling out there at WR.
