Too bad for Torrey? 49ers’ Smith not traded
Nov 1, 2016 at 2:15 PM

Some rumored-to-be-dealt players breathe a sigh of relief when the NFL trade deadline passes. The 49ers wide receiver might have offered a sigh of resignation at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Despite plenty of pre-deadline speculation, the 49ers didn't trade Smith, meaning he'll remain with the team that's had a 6-18 record and consistent quarterback issues since he signed a five-year, $40 million contract last year. Smith, who is on pace to post career-lows in receptions and yards for a second straight season, was asked about 15 minutes before the deadline if he'd welcome a trade. In his first four seasons in Baltimore, Smith never had fewer than 49 catches or 767 yards and the Ravens went 42-22 and won a Super Bowl. Smith has 46 catches for 864 yards in 23 games with the 49ers, who are on a six-game losing streak.

One former San Francisco 49ers player is making his opinion of Super Bowl 58 very clear. He believes his former team was dealt a bad hand in the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas two months ago.
Former 49ers safety Donte Whitner, appearing this week on the "Up & Adam" show with Kay Adams, was vocal regarding the matchup and how certain circumstances seemed to favor the Chiefs.
"And when we think about the Super Bowl as well, I think that the 49ers played against the refs as well, guys," Whitner told Adams. "I think that when we look at that film and you see bear hugs on those defensive ends, right? And you really see it in blatant moments in the game."
Adams couldn't help but laugh at Whitner's comments, and the former player

Just when you thought the San Francisco 49ers and Tom Brady storylines had concluded, the future Hall of Fame quarterback drops another tidbit that sparks discussion. During an episode of "DeepCut with VicBlends," the host asked Brady what he would do if the NFL came calling once again.
VicBlends inquired if Brady would consider returning to the football field if a playoff-bound team like the 49ers needed him.
"I'm not opposed to it," Brady said, per Jordan Mendoza of USA Today. "I don't know if they're gonna let me if I become an owner an NFL team. I don't know, I'm always gonna be in good shape, always be able to

No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
