Or should that be moron Alex Smith? Anyhow, Jim Harbaugh, unsolicited and unprovoked, unleashed a furious and all-encompassing tirade supporting his QB of the near future, Alex Smith. In a nutshell (and yeah, I’m a nut with shells), Harbaugh said he was merely ‘evaluating’ Peyton Manning in an effort to see what he looked like. He supposedly told Alex about this, and he didn’t have a problem. The front office was aware of all this, and no one had any hurt feelings or problems with the evaluation.
When asked for details of these conversations, Harbaugh was a little less forthcoming. He did say this, “There was nothing said to Alex that wasn’t said to Peyton Manning or in house here.” Take that for what it’s worth. Or take it as a huge smokescreen to cover up the Niners intentions to sign the injured and fragile Peyton. Frankly, I don’t care very much. It was BSPN fodder for a couple weeks, and provided blog frenzies here and all over the internets.
Either way, the money was a pretty big obstacle to deal with. Sign Manning, and you really limit what you can do going forward. Is it worth one possible Super Bowl season to mortgage the future of the team suddenly weakened by an onerous salary, and a guy who has about a 3% chance to fullfill his deal? Smith said he would have stayed had Manning signed, but that sounds like another load of what Harbaugh was selling.
Still and all, they made the right choice.
Forty Niners Forever 
Shit. The weather just took a turn for the worst and dropped about 10 degrees here in Pinole.
You know the feeling. Alex looks right. Alex runs right. And Alex throws right — out of bounds.
That gives me the chills.
That’s a big IF Dennis. I put it at about 80% chance Alex plays all 16, and 20% Peyton does. Hence the reason not to sign him. Our line ain;t all that great, but it’s better than Denver’s by a country mile.
Off to a wedding in Apple Valley. . . .
Must stop by the Jack Russell Brewery. . .
Peyton, under pressure, takes a big shot. He doesn’t get up. $95 million down the drain.
Still and all, I bet Elway thinks that’s a wash. $95 mill to get Tebow out of town.
There’s the Chuck we know and love, yahaha. Funny guy. Maybe Chuck, maybe, could be. In a funny way I hope he’s vindicated about getting Manning because I like Elway but I do think yer right- Manning is a gamble. If he makes a miracle-Manning- and has a great season, okay fine it was a good deal. I won’t bet on it because of his age, injuries and the huge bucks involved.
Hey nice to see ya on the Niners Forever! Drop in once in awhile will ya? / sarc, sorry /
PS: Apple Valley? Where dat?
Way down by Victorville? San Berdoo county?
nevermind
Elway didn’t get rid of Tim Tebow until he had a future HOFer signed. He didn’t pursue Alex at all, even to replace Tebow. What does that tell you?
Add to that the fact that Tebow was ranked 95th by his peers, and Peyton, even after not playing an entire season, was ranked 50th in the NFL.com Top 100 Players of 2012.
Whiter Alex? Well, they’ve yet to release their Top 40. Maybe Alex is in the Top 40?
Ha! Alex couldn’t make Casey Kasem’s Top 40 on the weekend.
Think that’s a problem? Here’s 5 real problems for ya:
What do Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford, Eli Manning and Aaron Rodgers have in common? All ranked among the top-five quarterbacks in passing yards last season.
What else?
They all face the 49ers this season, starting with Rodgers when the Green Bay Packers host the 49ers at Lambeau Field on Sept. 9.
That gaunlet is not lost on secondary coach Ed Donatell, who met with the media Thursday.
“We’ve challenged them to spike, because of the competition and the schedule,” Donatell said of his defensive backs. “We play five of the top quarterbacks from last year. We have our work cut out for us. We definitely have to improve to match what’s coming at us this year, and we know that.”
Those aforementioned quarterbacks each passed for over 4,600 yards last season. ”

“Our line ain;t all that great, but it’s better than Denver’s by a country mile.” Quoth Chuck.
Ain’t good news for da pencil neck QB aka Manning. He plays more than 8 games this year I’ll be surprised.
How to define a “country mile”?
a) It’s the distance from Del Mar’s house to the nearest liquor store
b) It’s the distance Manning s head will be separated from the rest of his body this year
c) It’s the distance Aldon Smith will run with the football after said encounter with Manning’s head
d) It’s the approximate distance Elway will be carried on the rail by irate fans when The Country Mile OL allows 6 sacks in the 3rd game of the season causing PM’s head to be…detached.

Does Dennis still have a drivers license?
It expires July ’13. Thank Christ the Mayans have plans before my renewal date. I don’t feel like studying. You know what I feel like? That’s a silly question.
Bartender!
cheers!
Yes Denny Has a drivers Licence. However his car is STILL resting at the bottom of the neighbor’s swimming pool…courtesy of Chuck
It was a Yugo!
Yeah it’s gonna be there for awhile. Luckily only a short country mile from Del mar’s house, an easy walk
Alex has a message for Del Mar, Harbaugh, Newton, all of youse:
Screw you dickwad:

“House declined to discuss his specific findings about Smith. But in general, he said, some quarterbacks run into problems when they pile too much onto themselves”
“Said House of Smith: “What he’s learning how to do is not care too much. He can care enough but he can’t care too much.”
Good advice for Phil. Don’t care too much! The Niners will take care of business without the rest of us sweating the details. Of course Chuck will on that other blog because that is what Chuck does.
Same with Dennis.
Nipper! “Don’t care too much aboot my Niners”? Sacrilege!
But you are right. I have similar symptoms as Alex in that way. But my passes are much better than his. Ask Del Mar, he’ll tell ya. Yep sweating the details ain’t my thing. You want details go to that malignant ‘other blag’ and get in on the food/pie fights.
I will forgive Chuck because he’s a far better man (and blagmeister) than old what’shisfuck? However I will not participate in the phony SpyMasters 3 Ring Circus.
