Here we sit on the eve of training camp, and the blogosphere is abuzz with the impeding doom of the San Francisco 49ers. The national media has gone from laughing and pointing to basically laughing at every next domino that falls to drive another nail into the coffin that is the 2015 season.
Well, fuck that. The national media had the 2012 Eagles being a juggernaut due to their free agent acquisitions, and look what it got them. Shit, the 2007 Niners were turning a corner under Nolan, and the 2010 team was poised to be great under Singletary. All turned gold into shit. Yeah, we’ve lost a bunch of players and coaches. Shit, the year he got here no one gave the Niners chance.
Point being, the national media doesn’t follow the team like the local fans. Even then, look at the bullshit flying around. Sue, laugh, point, ands ridicule all you want, but I think the team will come out of this in better shape than if Harbaugh had stuck around. One more year of Harbaugh would have been another year of the Roman offense. One more year of a front office and a head coach that didn’t communicate. One more year of Harbaugh being Harbaugh. A driven coach who drives everyone else crazy. Bear in mind he hasn’t lasted anywhere longer than 4 years. This appears to be his shelf life.
Anyhow, gone are Patrick Willis, Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, Justin Smith, Perrish Cox, Chris Culliver, Anthony Davis, Andy Lee, and Chris Borland. Beyond that, revolving door Jonathan Martin and Stevie (Good for a moment) Johnson were cut. As daunting as this appears to the uninformed eye, and yes, vet presence is a thing, the only ones that hurt are Cox and Davis, in my mind.
Crabs and Cully had their bags packed before the AZ game and were not expected to stay. Willis and Borland were retirement surprises in that no one expected them to retire as they did. Willis was slowed at the start of the year, and was lost or 2/3 of it. This allowed Borland to shine, but he left as well citing his health. AD waited too long to announce his retirement, but whatever. He did what he felt was necessary. I figured the Niners would focus on Cox to stay, and I didn’t like the decision to let him go. Gore? Well, he took the money. 3 years beats one every time. Good luck, Frank. Justin Smith was basically the same. He was not himself these past couple years, and therefore isn’t a big loss. Lee? He needed a change of scenery due to his tragedy so the team did him a favor by sending him closer to his hometown. J Mart? No there there. Stevie? Meh.
Forty Niners Forever 
And for the love of fucking Christ…STOP with all of these Kaepernick excuses already. It’s the same fucking shit that you Alex Apologists did during his tenure. “The OL sucks. The play calling is horrible. The coaches don’t use his strengths and put him in a position to succeed. The WRs run poor routes and never get any separation from the DBs.”
And blah, blah, blah, blah boo-fucking-hoo. Both Alex and Kap have been, and will continue to be trash. Neither will ever get into Canton unless they purchase a ticket like the rest of us.
And raise your goddamn hand if you still think Kap is a better QB than Russell Wilson? I’m coming over to crush your left foot with a fucking sledgehammer. You don’t *deserve* to walk like I won’t be fully able to again. Probably not til Christmas.
And if I don’t blog again until then. As the Dennis minus the one ‘n’ said…
Wilson just lost a SB in very similar fashion to Kap. The difference between the 2 teams O has been Lynch over Gore not Wilson over Kap.
I posted Kap has better numbers than any other QB at the same point in their careers except President Brady and that not by much. I know you are a stats guy Dennis because you fawn over Romo, well those are the stats.
As a winner its hard to argue Kap doesn’t have it when he has won more road playoff games than Montana and Young, combined.
As for the O line, I don’t see any argument you can put up that doesn’t agree with lasts years awful play. No QB, including Brady/Romo/P.Manning are successful without at least some protection.
Kap has a big year in front of him no doubt. His contract is structured in such a way that the team pays almost no penalty to release him, but be careful what you wish for Dennis. It took Young a while to figure it out too.
As for P Manning would have won the Niners at least 2 more SB, well that has not been his track record has it?
Good for you Dennis. Are you made out of spit and baling wire?
Your post is you usual poppycock but the Denis Leary thing is great.
Seriously. Ask yourself the question: Is Colin Kaepernick now or will he ever be a HOF QB?
The answer is an emphatic — NO! There’s a decent chance Kap won’t even be wearing a 49er uni after this year. Then what will your excuse be? Thought not.
But this whole QB fiasco can be laid upon the shoulders of one Jim Harbaugh. He let his ego override his intellect Harbaugh was only “evaluating” a certain QB. You lying sack of fucking shit.
This team under HC Jim Harbaugh would have won at least one, if not two Super Bowls if…
Did we sign Peyton Manning yet?
Oh fuck off Dennis. No one expect every QB we draft to be an instant hall of famer. If that’s your expectation, feed the fucking ducks.
Life is just a Christmas carol short of a glass half empty when Dennis comes around with his logic on life and sports. I feel better already!
I wonder if happy hour has begun in earnest. Quack!
Ace Sanders is available…
Was it NJ or Spitty that had a crush on him?
Joe Staley:
“The year we had Harbaugh his first year, everybody thought we were going to be really crappy,” Staley said. “Then last year everybody thought we were going to be amazing. … There’s a million factors that go into a team being successful or unsuccessful.”
Steve Bono:
“Kaepernick will be better, because of some of the negative forces that are gone,” said Steve Bono, a former 49ers quarterback and now one of their alumni coordinators.
Trent Dildo:
“Everybody says they’re going to be terrible. Wait, what were they last year?” asked Trent Dilfer, an ESPN analyst and Baalke confidant. “They were 8-8 and an OK team. To get better, sometimes you need dramatic changes.”
Dilfer sees an encouraging difference under new coach Jim Tomsula, who succeeded Harbaugh after eight seasons as a defensive line coach. A younger roster requires better teaching and learning, and Dilfer insisted that Tomsula and his staff are suited for that task.
Added Dilfer: “Is that the secret sauce to a Super Bowl? Probably not, but I think sure as hell they’re a playoff team.”
Just pointing out some other POV from pros.
Staley is dead right, 2011 Niners were not expected to be 8-8, 2014 they were SB bound, all according to experts and pundits and people from geneoushire.
Breaking news from Dallas. Dennis should like this.

Dennis is BBQing the cyst today!
That scarring of the fallopian tubes sounds bad.
Theyust be reading my blog then, 12th. Cuz ghats exactly what I said.
The national media is all about superficial understanding. Most fans of a given team have more in/depth knowledge of their team than them. Them again, some folks buy in to the bullshit. Dilfer seems to want to be the contrarian. Although he still has ties to the team. But I agree with him for once.
Its funny to me that the crew from Skeebs are towing the media line of the Niners will suck, based on uninformed mass perception, which is the very definition of sheeple, and this is from guys who proclaim themselves as “thinkers” who don’t follow the crowd.
Sounds like the crowd to me.
Crystal balls are hard to come by but if pressed at this point before seeing any game action I would say the Niners will do better than last year and have a shot at the playoffs, where anything can, and does, happen.
It doesn’t matter what anybody thinks, me, you, the media, what matters is what happens in September. I am sure we would be 7-9 or worse with Harbaugh still here. I am confident we will be better than that this year with the new staff. I’m feeling good about making the playoffs.
I know we lost some leaders but I think we still have good talent. It might not be Super Bowl winning talent like Harbaugh had but we have upgraded the offensive coaching. Who knows! I’ll feel better about saying anything more after seeing 3 pre-season games.
I agree it makes no difference, I guess that’s my point. In the absence of any concrete evidence one way or the other, why choose to shit on your own team?
I think simplifying the play calling is what we need the most. Sounds like that is already happening. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Looking forward to getting the snap off before the clock ticks to 1 or 2 seconds. Absolutely no element of surprise available to the O and near certainty of the D timing the play. Chances of success diminished considerably.
As you say, believe it when we see it.
All reports I’ve seen so far say we’re making this a priority right now
We will have to get out feet wet before we start to swim and it will probably take more than the pre-season. Whatever it takes it can’t be as bad as last year. At this point I am looking for some exciting football. We will be able to see the difference right away if the new offensive scheme is creative or not. Personally, I can’t see how so many fans can be down on the team at this time of year. It’s a brand new start and the only way I’m gonna be bummed this early will be because of injuries in TC. Even in the Ericson(sp) yrs it took a couple of weeks.
Same opinion Winder.
NJ- We have figured out that you don’t trust Kap or Jed. Please go away. You need the cancer blog. It is you! In your world we could be your next Mets. Please go away. Bullit is your perfect fact buddy. He will fact your ass why we suck. Please go away, You suck. You are a fair weather fan, like that entire blog. I no longer want you as a fan. Fuck you and your Mets. Just go away.
And if we suck next year, those butt fuckers are your best buddies. I’ll be somewhere backing my team. Fuck you dick. Go join V, Spitty, bullit, nofear and your other best buddies. I’m tired of your cross opinions. Time to choose dick. You stand for nothing but talk and derision. Pick a side and grow a pair. At this point, you have no balls. You are the most ballest man anywhere talking 49ers. If we disagree that would be OK. At this point you just want everybody to be your friend. You are worthless at this point.
Berger I’ve been a ‘fair weather fan’ for 35 years.
Fuck you too.
You don’t decide what level of fan am I.
I do.
I choose to talk the good and the bad aspects of this team.
We’ve got concerns as do most teams in this game.
I’m not here seeking to be liked.
Apparently you have a different perception.
That’s your problem, not mine.
Fuck you ass hole, Bullit is waiting for you in the closet. And you know I am right. Bullit and NoFear want you badly. Since you are a weak suck I am giving you to them.
Yes., I have decide what level fan you are. You are the fan that told the Mets to go away. You are a fan that can be gone. Skeebers and company is your cup of tea. Please go away. You are a fair weathered fan.
NJ- In the Revolutionary War we had the 1/3 who wanted to align with the British. We had the 1/3 who wanted to be free. And then there were the 1/3 who wanted to align with the winner. That is you, the 1/3 wanting to align with the winner. Mr Popular is what you care about. Grow a pair.
Berger, you’re the biggest suck ass I’ve ever seen.
My butt is open for you to lick, dick! I’ll even leave some shit for you to taste. Go root for some other team Skeebers buddy! It is obvious you are not rooting for Tomsula, Baalke and York. Skeebers,
Bullit and NoFear are recruiting you. They hate the 49ers these days. The blog for anti 49er fan is 49ersoutsider.
So who are you superlead88. Since Bullit lies about everything you must be Bullit. My guess is you are some other coward, like V or spitty. It is obvious you are an anti 49er fan dick.
Berger, you and your little clones follow everything Chuck says and he’s been wrong on every damn topic since Erickson. It was right after the Eddie High jacking when he was forced to use his brain to determine the differences between right and wrong. You stand by and stand silent like a little weak man, yes you’re the one with no balls when you stand there silent while Unca_chuck deletes and silence people who disagree with him. What kind of human being are you? I mean really you’re not even an American when you allow yourself go along with this liberal philosophy of removing and silencing those who have a difference in opinions. You and unca_chuck think because we think the opposite of you that we should be shot, or we’re racist and you call us Nazi’s? Better look in the mirror pal before you determine who has balls and who don’t.
Look who you find yourself agreeing with 12th man? He’s a little mindless kid! Hell he’d accept the first female QB and flag football and would count down the days until the season started. He’d vote for Obama for a third term if he could and this is whom you find yourself agreeing with? I tell you I’ll be banned after this post so Dennis will be the only man left here with balls to tell you how it is in the real world. NJ though I think he agrees with you clowns too much at least you can reason with him and have a logical conversation. The rest of you want a place where you can just agree with one another without a word from reality and congratulate each other for thinking the same. I can believe none of you are man enough to hear from the other side that ends up being correct 100% of the time.
Go put up your American Flag outside your house, sick back and read our constitution especially the part about freedom of speech and stand up against these liberals who are out to silence those who disagree with the mindless views of how the world should be. Then well find out if you really have balls or not. Talk is cheap lets see some action.
Yawn.
superlead88- it is obvious you are V. Please go away. Skeerbers needs you badly. We want 49er fans here who want to continue to be fans. It’s OK to be critical. It is not OK to be a Skeebers clone. There is a blog for that.
Berger there’s a difference between being opinionated and objective.
I lean toward the objective side of these debates.
I’m not looking to measure up to one blog over the other, as you clearly seem to be.
Learn what it means to agree to disagree, without being an opinionated A$$hole.
I’m not here to revisit the Revolutionary War either.
I’m here to talk about the 9ers.
NJ- Waffling sends you to the “other blog”. You are nothing but a bullit disciple if you don’t declare. You know I love you and will always but I don’t play Christie politics. You New Jerseyers seem to be OK with that. If you can’t say the new coaching staff sucks or is better than what we had last year you have no balls. Dennis says we suck. I have no problem with him. My problem is you saying nothing, even though you post often. You are just waiting to see who wins the war. You are worthless. If you declare you grow a pair. Of course we know you don’t have the pair to declare. What is your opinion? Funniest question ever since we know it won’t be answered. Are we better off or worse off going into this year. I say we are better off. But then, I have the balls that you lack.
