Draft Implications Be Damned!

Run the table! With this improbable and fairly unlikely event that we have found our guy (thanks, New England), the 49ers have the chance to run the table under Jimmy Garoppolo and his cast of also-rans. No mean feat when you see that the original squad to start the year had more talent on both sides of the ball, and mustered a 1-10 record.

So, to hell with the draft spot and take no prisoners! A 5-0 run to close the season would be a nice feather in the cap of this new front office and brain trust. Especially seeing as 3 of the 5 are potential playoff teams.

    I thought this was funny. Navarro Bowman went a combined 4-11 playing for the Niners and Raiders. I guess the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

    Hah! I would hope better for bowman but hey in the Walsh philosophy better a year early than a year late.

      I might be off but reading between the lines Bowman’s ego got in the way. When the Niners played the Panthers, Bowman talked about being disrespected and said he would be the best LB on the field that day not Luke Kuechly, who has far more press than Bowman. Didn’t turn out that way.
      To be fair to Bowman, I think he was underrated nationally, but he never came to grips with his injuries making a difference, and his ego ultimately caused more harm as he got a reduced role on the team.
      I like the guy, he was an absolute stud, but you have to evaluate yourself year by year and I don’t think he did that in an honest way.

      Of course I might be full of shit.

    Bowman played well for the Raiders:
    ** Linebacker NaVorro Bowman played all 70 snaps for the Raiders’ defense. Bowman joined the Raiders after being released by the 49ers wanting to show he could still be an every-down player even with two major injuries in his past. He ended up playing 98 percent of snaps after his arrival (643 of 656) and led the team in tackles in nine of his 10 games.

    Sorry to interrupt the football talk. I have a question regarding the Flap baseball blog. Those of you that go on that blog, are you seeing a comment box on there today? I can’t see one, and it seems no one has commented today. Anyone experiencing the same malfunction on the Flap today?

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee says:

      If others are experiencing the same thing, could somebody send Craig an email about it? I’m away from home today, and only have my phone with me, and my email is difficult for me on my phone.

    highest rated QB in the league ! Alex Smith at 104.7 1

      Whythechange over at the SFGate comment sections likely has a boner for that little fact, 5 years later and he’s still bitching about the team trading AS, not to mention disparaging Jimmy Garoppolo. Serious man crush.

      • rob's avatar rob says:

        SF gate was a fun blog while it lasted ! Garapollo is a true franchise QB and better than Smith ! The only problem is Smith had horrible coaching and the fans here underestimated him !

    Please read this, dudes. Fascinating in and of itself, with a strong interest for all 49ers fans, as it may well explain how and why we got Jimmy G. Who knew?

    Great article. For what it’s worth, the Patriot have maintained a level of success that surpassed the 49ers dominance of the 80s – 90s amid a shit-ton of turmoil and self-inflicted wounds. .

    Nw thread is up.
