Well, best laid plans and all, the Kappy situation remains in flux as Denver hasn’t moved on their offer, and Cleveland, being Cleveland, may have scared off Kappy already by shedding center Alex Mack, RT Mitchell Schwartz, and WR Travis Benjamin. Last thing he wants is to come into a team that has is shedding talent and is looking to draft a QB anyway. He could (and very well may) stay here for that, despite his admiration for Hue Jackson.
No, this trade is about Denver. I’ve been thinking all along that this is what he wants. This is certainly what Denver wants, as Gary Kubiak has not been shy about his desire to get Kaepernick. The Niners want a 2 from Denver or a 3 from Cleve, mainly because the diff is 2 spots in the draft. In other words, a 2 from Denver IS basically a 3rd round pick from Cleve. A 3 from Denver is 30 spots lower. Denver just signed Mark (dirty) Sanchez, but no one sees that as anything but what it is. A backup signing. Denver has made noise about getting Ryan Fitzpatrick, but Kubiak wants to run a more dynamic offense than what Fitzpatrick would offer. Elway has admired CK from afar, as has Kubiak and Wade Philips.
The Fitzpatrick to Denver talks seemingly would bring the Kappy/Jets scenario back into play, but there haven’t been any whispers around that. Yet. It could happen, but much as I hate to say it, I hope Kaepernick finds his way to Denver and does well there. The 49ers seems to be only adept at shooting themselves in the feet like old Sourdough Sam used to. The 49ers now are a collection of disorganized parts and pieces put together with no sense or rhyme. Chip Kelly is walking into a buzzsaw. And Trent Baalke is on his last legs.
This draft is fairly huge in the immediate future of this team.
Forty Niners Forever 
Zane Beadles good pick up. O-line help. Pro bowler when playing in a zone scheme and 2nd rd pick.
Now we have Staley, Beadles ,Kilgore and hopefully A Davis. Also Brown Tiller and Pears.
Finally got some O-line help.
Now maybe Sebastian Tretolla in 3 ?
Report: 49ers won’t release Colin Kaepernick and ‘there’s a good chance’ he stays put.
Yessss !!!
It’s a start, ROB!. I don’t think the Kappy situation is over by a long shot. We may add to the line still. My hope anyway. Pears has to be hitting the bricks. Theres still a ton of time between now and decision time for Kappy.
I still think he’s going to Denver.
NJ, the truth is, when Hue went, they had no choice but to get Chip. He was the only guy with any track record that was remotely decent. I had a few notions, but in the end they went with the guy that had SOME success. Burned bridges or no. I don’t really fault the hire based ion the alternatives (Nolan??? Shanahan??? Holmgren???) Fuck all that. But he brings what he brings. Some negative connotations. However, all his Oregon guys seem to love him. Whatever. As the story goes, winning cures all ills. In the immediate at least.
The biggest problem is, and there are a lot, this season hinges on THIS draft. Any reasonable amount of success is predicated on the team drafting very well. Look at Washington. Granted they are in a weak division, but they turned over their roster and did pretty well for themselves. In one year. Our situation is nearly as dire or even direr (ahem). However, Scot hit the free agent market pretty hard last year and helped out the team immensely.
A hearty BLEEP to all!
BLEEP Losing!
Chuck I’m in for fixing this mess.
If it comes down to firing Baalke, it won’t shake me off the 9er bandwagon.
My problem in all of this is, who’s in charge?
Gamble is said to have influenced Chip’s hire.
If Trent and Tom made that call, great.
If Jed made that call, Trent is simply an empty suit here.
I’ll look for the players to play.
The Coaches to coach.
All the while praying this dysfunction and meddling end.
It starts and ends with Trent and Chip getting players they can agree on.
After that, make it go.
Gamlbe and Trent have worked together over the years, except or the last 2. Don;t know what that means, but he’s a football lifer as well. They have to do a better job immediately. This is their last chance.
New thread is up.
Please Lord I could use that Mercedes Benz! And a Niner team that has it’s shit together!
And get a new ball for Jozie.
