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 
If we have a good GM in place, it’s a start to getting coaching talent.
Is that Tom Gamble? Don’t know, but that’s who it will be.
Gamble should hop a plane for parts unknown if he were smart. Niners are toxic.
in last 17 games:
vs. Rams: 2-0
vs. rest of NFL: 0-15
Not so sure Chip is the problem. Our biggest weaknesses are clearly lack of a no. 1 WR and maybe DC
Patton and Kerley were our two starters at WR last game. That has to be the least effective dou in the league.
Need a QB and pass rusher before a WR IMO and definitely a pro DC.
I can’t say how much is Kelly, too much shit to wade through to know.
look on the bright side we have a top pick and an obscene amount of cap room for next season.
12th unless Tank steps up big time pass rusher was my other biggest need
Tank has been a bust so far Rob and the cap room won’t matter if Baalke is retained, he doesn’t spend in free agency very often.
Time for action…….bring in new football people to run this badly run organization. Jed better do something soon or else events will overtake him.
The Shanny’s rumor is picking up speed, Vinny Cerrato:

Good to see 12. That’s what I wanted them to do when Harbaugh left !!!
This might be the way to go. Bring in Shanny and let him do the rest.
I really think we can get a WR and pass rusher this draft. Maybe WR with our top 3 pick and use our multiple picks to go from the top of two back into one for a pass rusher. Baalke did this last year and got us a starter on both lines.
Hope springs eternal for better days.
FISHER FIRED
HOLY RAMOLA BATMAN
Wow, that’s even more ridiculous. Extend the guy, and THEN can him 3 weeks later? Another clown show in LA.
ROB!!! We had a top pick and a boatload of cap space LAST season.
The title of your next thread should be “How Low can you go??”
I didn’t think the Niners could go any lower, BOY DID THEY PROVE ME WRONG!!
Tough game to watch on TV, glad I wasn’t in the stadium.
Newly inked 270 lb tight end Vance McDonald was placed on IR today.
I swear this team has bad mojo right now.
Jed is probably in an underground bunker beneath his cabana. Anyone see the guy? Of course not! He will not show his face again. His mother will fly out and take over the whole mess. GO TEAM!
You can have good players and lose. Chip came in the league and did well but has not adjusted while the league adjusted to him. His 3rd quarters are a microcosm of this.
I’ll guarantee Billacheat would have this roster at .500 or better and Kap would not be on the team. Billacheat deals with distractions by getting rid of them, just like Walsh did. York, Baalke, Chip supported the distraction. Losers lose. Doesn’t matter what side you are on, politics and football do not mix. It was the same reason I never wanted Tebow, too much of a distraction.
We need some football people who don’t get distracted and know how to mold a team instead of just picking players. I don’t know how I feel about the Shanahan rumors but it can’t be worse than what we currently have.
Losing to the pathetic Jets was the final straw. A terrible result will force the Yorks into some type of action as their reputations are falling apart. The terrible Rams have already begun the process of booting these unproductive men out of the league.
A light at the end oif the tunnel?

I have no love lost for Mike Shanahan, but he’s a far better sight as the head of football operations than Young Sir Jed Sucks-a-lot.
Every silver lining has a touch of grey . . .

Florio contradicted the whole “Jed out” report by Jason. Jason tweeted later than he didn’t mention any GMs or HCs (no Shanny). Jason’s not too reputable for accurate rumors. Florio reported the Harbaugh ouster first.
I think it’s all just a Santa’s list dream. Wait and see what really happens. Like asking for a 1952 Triumph roadster and getting new socks and underwear.
Although come to think of it, at least new socks and underwear are functional. Not sure everyone staying or at best Gamble for Baalke qualifies.

What we’ll get from the Yorks
Our across the street neighbor tried to sell me one of his old junkers when I was a kid. A TR-2. Man, I still regret not buying it, even if it meant having to learn how to service it constantly. Only car I ever drove with a choke – I don’t even remember how you have to use the damn thing.
Pull and twist the knob when cold, let in in half way after a min or so and fully in when warm.
Thanks, 12th! I remember semi-freaking the first time I had to use it.
Grew up on old cars with chokes RT, ah the good old days eh.
