In more mangled lyrics (and logic), we have this. The 49ers are spending some of the mountains of cash they are sitting on to sign Vance McDonald to a 5 year, $35 million extension.
“Vance has shown consistent growth throughout his four-year career and his production this season is the result of his dedication and hard work,” 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. “We believe he has only scratched the surface of what he will be able to accomplish in his career.”
Really? If that is the bar to cross to get an extension, then CK deserves an extension. As does Torrey Smith. Funny? Sure. But this is ludicrous. Funnier still is that there was someone who said he’d put up the numbers he has now in his illustrious 4 year career, except that he would do it in year one. I said it would take 4, but whatever. I guess we can thank that someone for being the mastermind behind the 49ers decisions these days. BakkenBuwwittBaalke anyone?!?
Other than that, I’m pretty baffled why anyone on this team short of the just hurt Joe Staley and his sore hammy would even get a passing thought at getting en extension. VMcD only drops about 25% of the passes thrown his way. Sure, that may be better than the 40% he dropped earlier in his career, but he was a ball-dropper in college. I guess Baalke has to further the career of a few of his draft picks before he himself is jettisoned. Or what? Should we extend Torrey Smith for being a mirage? Oh, that’s right. They extended Quinton Dial and Tank Carradine. You know, the guys spearheading our 32nd ranked defense.
Forty Niners Forever 
Kap started 8 of 9, now 4 of 12
Just stupid. Prevent O at its finest about to be followed by prevent D.
WTF, two wild throws from Kap and a run up the gut, 3 yards total. Playing for OT? Crazy shit.
Niners found another way to lose, this one has ramifications.
Damn……another ugly loss ……is Trent still around? Jed still in charge?
Is Chuck letting out a loud BLEEP somewhere?
Chip lost another game with his shitty 3rd quarter play calling. He is our biggest problem.
I liked going for it on 4th down but Chip calls the same play every time. Who doesn’t know what is coming? He is a major problem.
utterly hilarious. Total joke. Embarrassment of the league. SF. That’s us.
I’ve defended Chip, or at least didn’t see him as the main prob, but he had a 17-3 lead at hm vs one of the shittiest teams in the league. You HAVE to close that game out. That’s not on the players, they already took the damn lead. Chip couldn’t figure out a way to call the game all the way down to the end. This loss is squarely on him….
Exactly how I see t.
A massive total BLEEP to the results of this season.
Just what the doctor ordered; now we have #2 locked up. The bad news is the rumor that Cleveland’s going to do something smart for a change: draft Garrett, then trade their second first rounder for Jimmy G.
The Chargers are our last hope. The Brownies aren’t going to win @Buf or @Pit.
So what do we do if Garrett’s gone? With this QB class, I’m very skeptical of spending the #2 overall on one.
WordPress is eating posts. This team is eating my soul.
I need to watch Clemson. My son is very high on Deshaun Watson. Smart, athletic, all the tools.
The O line is actually not terrible. The run game? Meh. But QB play has been terrible of late and the lack of WRs doesn’t help.
I have no fucking read on the defense. They are good at times and the. They look like idiots for long stretches. I’d like to think we have talent on D but I don’t really know. Draft a fucking QB unless the Skidmarks take Watson.
I’m at the point we have to start trying at least to get a fuckng QB. We ain’t gonna find Dak in the later rounds.
Does every team play 4 games in 5 days like the Warriors just did?
not to beat a dead horse, but why wouldn’t you try ponder at this point?
The NBA schedule is a joke, MLB isn’t far from it. go back to 152 (154?) games.
absolutely to both of your points. I don’t think for a second that Ponder will be anything useful. But I am sick to near death watching Kaep play QB for the NIners. Talk about *time to move on/it’s not you it’s me/etc…” Just end this already. And Ponder QBing out the season might at least be entertaining. I fucking hate Kaep. How many games in a row has he lost? 14? How about you stop protesting for 2 seconds and go win a damn game…..
Absolutely try Ponder, no coach will do well when his QB goes 6-18 in the second half, 33% completion is atrocious, Not to say Kelly is blameless, he isn’t.
Chip did not put Kap in good situations to make things happen but he still needs to play better. The three and outs in the 3rd quarter gassed the defense. You could see them playing too upright in the 4th and the RBs just ducking under the tackles.
I checked Kap’s stats for the second half, it was 4 of 17. No coach can scheme for that. I did think Kelly went very conservative calling it prevent O at the time but Kap missing on more than 75% of his throws can’t be accounted for in play calling.
I’m not apologizing for Kelly. 1-12 speaks for itself as does the consistent second half malaise and if he gets fired too I won’t shed any tears but I don’t think he has much of a shot with that kind of performance from his players. He can draw up the best plays but if his players can’t tie their shoelaces it makes it worthless.
Carlos showed some heart though, hitting the tackles hard.
It’s more than Kap. He’s got an inept corps of pass catchers that drop passes and a coach that isn’t helping things by becoming supremely unimaginative every motherfucking 3rd quarter. I hated Harbaugh for playing from ahead a lot, and Chipper is even more ridiculous at it. This team has blown leads in almost all of their games.
Then again, Phil Dawson hadn’t lost us any games, so today it was his turn.
But at this point it doesn’t really matter. Ponder, Kappy, or Blaine the insane membrane train will all lose. The Niners ain’t as bad as their record, but they are close. . .
it sort of doesn’t matter as opposed to “really” does’t matter. nothing in the big picture is going to change but why wouldn’t you start ponder? you really need to know what you have there. he’s an early round draft pick which means he has talent. he’s admitted to confidence issues when he first started. maybe he’s solved that. it happens. not often but hey, what do we have to lose?
Hey, Flav, if neither AZ or the Niners reach 8-8 does that mean the bet is off?
Hah! Don’t worry. You’ll get your bottle of Ripple.
No. I was driving to work this morning thinking about that great victory!
Tell ya one thing, I’m still laughing like hell that the Rams gave Jeff Fisher an extension. He’s about to (next week) set the record for most losses as a head coach. Never has one man done less with more.
42-14? Jeeebus…….
42-0 at one point. Atlanta’s OC is my choice for HC. But no way in hell would Kyle Shanahan want to come to this shitshow.
Bill Musgrave of the Raiders is another guy to consider.
