A few questions to kick it off:
Which rookie(s) are you most excited to see in the regular season?
Which bubble players make the roster?
Can this team win a game if Blaine Gabbert has to start?
Bring it on! Let's chat 49ers football.
Update - 1:00 Roger Goodell has suspended Aldon Smith for the first 9 weeks.

How do you think the team will do during Smith's absence?
Update - 3:34 Tom Pelissero of USA Today is reporting that the 49ers have restructured Ray McDonald. This move will save them more money against the cap. They were $9.8 million under at the start of the day.
Have been saying for a while that I think all this money they are saving by redoing contracts may be earmarked for a Crabtree extension.
