Still No Larry Grant Signing

Among all the other free agent 49ers out there, there sure doesn’t seem to be a rush to sign them. Tavares Gooden, special teams LB, Leonard Davis, the solid O lineman who served as the back up and FB at times, and Larry Grant are all still unsigned. Tramaine Brock just signed his RFA tender.

Grant is the most curious as he had an outstanding few games filling in for Patrick Willis in 2011, but had very little playing time last year. he provides depth, if anything, and he shouldn’t be too expensive, and no one is jumping anyway, so sign him. You have to wonder about Davis as well. He performed well when asked to, and a few false starts notwithstanding, provided needed depth.

    Where the hell is everyone? Did you all get sucked in by a massive black hole?
    That’s too easy of a joke for me, I’ll let someone else hit that one off the tee if they so choose.

      I think everyone is numb with Draft anticipation Del.
      Lord knows the world is captivated with the goings on between Revis and the TB Bucs.

      Can hardly wait to hear what Revis had for dinner.

      How great would it be if he fails the physical?

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        I think the Revis trade could very well work out in our favor. The Jets already have the 9th overall and they need more picks. Trading pick 13 to the Niners for 31 and 34 would land them two more potential blue chippers. And I think the Jets would be much more willing trading to SF than TB would. And IF the Niners are targeting Richardson from Missouri, they need to get to 13. Cause he sure in the hell won’t slide by CAR at 14.

        All that said, when we play TB with Revis added to their secondary it’s going to be harder to win that game now.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        Could happen Del. I’m sure Baalke has his moves calculated.
        As for playing TB, you run on them.
        IMO they’ve handcuffed themselves by tying up all that money in the Secondary.

        They’re out to stop the passing game in a Division that doesn’t run at all.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        I respect the heck out of Revis…. When he’s healthy.
        He’s not 100%

        I’ve always bought into the philosophy that an ACL is a 2 year injury.
        AP in MN is just a freak of a physical specimen.
        Not many, if any, have done what he was able to do.

    “I been sitting around for the last hour trying to figure out what to say to the Jet Nation & I came up with this,” Revis wrote on Twitter. “The six years I played for the New York Jets were unbelievable. I put my body on the line everyday & did everything could to help the team win. I experienced a lot & & learned a lot. The memories I had in New York I will keep dearly to my heart.

    “I want to thank all the jets fans for making me feel welcome.”

    A class act all the way. I wish him the best for 15 of his 16 games this year.

    As for the Pets? WHERE IS TEBOW AND WHY ISN’T HE STARTING?

  3. rtfirefly's avatar rtfirefly2 says:

    I’d loooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvve to see the Pets draft Geno. LOLOL – Sanchez and he BOTH ahead of Tim Terrific? Revis gone, Geno in?
    It’s so much fun following the Jets. They turn incompetence from an art into a science.

    The bulk of the problems encountered in NY was due to Ex GM Tannenbaum.
    He was basically clueless.I truly wonder what sort if Scouting Dept they employed too.
    Too many Chiefs not enough Indians?

    Who knows?
    Quite entertaining in a lurid sorta football way.

    I always envisioned a Draft Board in front of a Poo Flinging Monkey in the War Room.

  6. RTFirefly's avatar RTFirefly says:

    Gangrene is such an appropriate name for their fanbase. You’d have to be deathly ill to follow them hoping they’ll ever win.

    • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

      Good friend of mine has been, and still is, a lifelong NYJ Fan.
      As he puts it, they’re on the 100 Year Plan.

    • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

      Have to give him his props of course.
      He’s loyal.
      Sick to death, but loyal non the less.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        nonetheless of course…..

      • RTFirefly's avatar RTFirefly says:

        Kinda like rooting for the Giants and Niners cerca ’74-’77.
        Still, even then I sensed brains in their organizations although chaos.
        Banging one’s head against the proverbial fan wall year after year could, if not treated properly, lead to Cubbie syndrome.

      • NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

        No doubt.
        Gotta feel for Cleveland too, in that regard.

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Stairway to Cleveland indeed. I think they are still in recovery mode from the Policy/Clark debacle in the early 2000s.

    1972 to 1980 were the Dark Ages of Bay Area sports. The Dubs had their miracle run in 1975, but other than that, fleeting glimpses of good surrounded by crap.
