Shit is Getting Real

The 49ers just signed Pierre Garcon to a 3 year deal that I hear is $16 mill per? Shanny really likes him some Garcon. He of course was Shanny’s big signing when he came to Washington a few years ago.

Not quite sure if that is the real number, but holy shit, what this says to me is that we are going to go after Kurt Cousins in a big way. Shanahan appears to be in the process of creating the Resdskins West.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly ratchets up the pressure on everyone in the building. A team that has been a laughingstock and one that would have been given rope to build slowly is now looking like they want to forego any gradual process and burn through the cap money in a big fat hurry. Again, not necessarily bad, but this team is all of a sudden looking at a 9 win season being a failure should Cousins show up amid the spending frenzy.

    I dunno about Cousins. We should be able to get him next year for his salary and not give up a huge pick this year. It is possible if we get this years 17th from Washington. I like that Garcon(sp) goes over the middle. I always liked him with the colts and he did get over 1000 yards last year. But he only scored 3 TD’s. That is a little worrisome. Anyway, he has endurance and is a proven threat on the field.

    I don’t know. This is a pretty hefty expenditure to do. You’d think there would be more than Hoyer coming out of this.

    Then again, who knows? Like I said earlier, actually using the cap money is much better than sitting on it.

      Well we all know what sitting on cap money brought us. Losing and more losing. Baalke knew how to lose with all his bad moves. But at the same time he was under the cap!

    Hoyer is reportedly being signed …….anyone know anything?

    Yep Hoyer, is in the news

  5. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    They also cut Torrey Smith

    Scottie McDrinkie done in Washington.

  7. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Busy time, Niners signed a QB, 2 WR and a pro bowl FB.

    I’ve been saying Hoyer for a while now, and it appears this is the deal. This doesn’t really change the situation regarding Kurt Cousins, but at least we have A quarterback.

    12th I just heard this morning about a butting of the heads between Bruce Allen and Scotty McDrinkypoo in DC.

    Didn’t know it was that bad or what the deal is with him, but the dude sure can draft though.

    A flurry of moves. After the Baalke years, it feels like a tornado.

    Hoyer Sucks!!
    Can’t believe they went with this chump even if it’s a stop gap. To bad Buffalo restructured a deal to keep Tyrod Taylor who would of been a lot better fit for the 49ers imo..

    I don’t know a thing about Hoyer but I am guessing KS does. If he see’s something useful in him so be it. At least we aren’t starting Kap or Gabbert.

  13. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    McDrinkle being ousted in Washington must be Jed’s fault.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Hoyer ain’t that bad, AK. And he’s certainly better than the current crop of nothing that we got.

    Even still, Hoyer very well could be backing up Cousins here.

    • Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

      Hoyer is strickly a back-up. He’s been on 7 teams so far if I’m correct. That’s a back-ups journey. Never good enough to stick anywhere. Still just surviving and getting a job in this league is a positive for anyone.

  15. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    Hoyer is going to be a one year starter or a back up. For that role he is a good signing. There is no possibility he is considered the long term solution.

    GM Lynch is off to the races in FA. This is something Baalke had to do last year to try to save his ass, he just didn’t, and he is gone.
    Who knows if all the new blood will pan out but what could be worse than last year?
    Stories of happy players after getting a beating is a terrible thing and I don’t see that happening under Lynch and Shanny, those boys are serious about winning.

  17. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Why didn’t the 49ers make a pitch for TE Martelius Bennett?? Instead looks like the Raiders are going to swoop in..

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    TE shouldn’t be too difficult to round out. I guess free agency has officially started.
