They have got some good young players, only problem with 49ers is there injury list still seems to be as bad as ever and are lacking covering numbers. Still I think they will be far better this season, they looked good in parts against the Cowboy's, but need to brush up on silly handing errors. Maybe pushing for wild card this year and if the young players keep improving, the next few years could be good for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douvan Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I don’t think they’ve looked good since Kap was there. They have film on Jimmy G now so we’ll see how he gets on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of players move teams, so you can sort of just carry on from last season, teams don't really come from nowhere (it does happen) generally, I look at teams that where nearly there last season, see who they've brought in to improve them. Expect to see the same teams challenging for the big prize again, with maybe one or two others sneaking into contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, but I do think they have the makings of a good team, they won't be anywhere near the Superbowl this year, but maybe in 2/3 years. It would be good to see them back challenging, got a soft spot for the 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics mate, which is sad. I did read a bit on ESPN website that there maybe some news in the next week regarding him. Don't know if you or anyone else has heard anything?

I know he put workout videos lately and I know his court case is still pending for the blocking by the owners. What happened to him is absolute irony. America prides itself on free speech and he exercised his 5th amendment rights and it cost him millions and his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did get a settlement from NFL, think that was just about his existing contract ( am not 100% on this).

Guest centipede Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 the problem with Kaepernick, as well as other sports stars, is they are paid to win football games. As soon as you start making political statements and the media is all over your teams business then its a problem imo. Hes a good player, but if I was a owner of a team I wouldnt sign him because of the circus that comes with him. He bought that on himself, and is a reaction of his own actions. Yes you have the right of free speech, but at the same time others have a right to take what you are saying into account when deciding whether or not to buy you into their team. This isnt a race thing, if a half decent white QB did the same thing I wouldnt sign him because all the shit surrounding it affecting the team. Especially if they can be replaced easily. Even as employees like we all are, we are all told that our actions outside of work matter to the company's name, and to not bring the company into disrepute or we get reprimanded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agree with you that your workplace is not a place to make political statements. Then again, am a white male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said its not a race issue for me. so lets imagine Andy Dalton made a huge political statement and had the media following his every move and had people arguing around him about what hes done. now lets say he got released from his team, and you had a choice of signing him, or Marcus Mariota who is a decent QB that doesnt attract all this attention and just gets on with the job of playing football with the team, who would you choose? I know id sign Mariota every day of the week. Its not about looking at it through Daltons eyes, thats irrelevant to my team and winning football matches.I want whats best for my team Edited August 14, 2019 by centipede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Steelers fan, I dunno whats going on in Antonio Browns head right now, such a good player had issues all last year for the Steelers, and is causing a bit of a stir in Oakland now too. Id hate to see him flush his career down the pan Edited August 14, 2019 by centipede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id hate to see him flush his career down the pan Yeah, it's a strange one. Steelers receivers coach Darryl Drake died on Sunday, so sad. Haven't really looked into the Steelers to much, no one online is really taking about them as one's to watch.

Douvan Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 It’s all about Dak and Zeke at the minute as who do you pay first. It has to be Dak. Has to be. Sending the wrong message if you pay your running back with off the field issues before the hard working model citizen QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
