not buying his hype for one second. OVERRATED
-
jj watt is a beast but lets be honest, that defense is SOFT. when push comes to shove they cant stop -- or even get in the way of -- the league's great offenses. That defense/team is a bowling pin for legit contenders.
-
lol @ everyone overrating kaep. this guy is tebow part 2 no doubt
-
Didn't Keapernick just beat the patriots?
*49ers
-
remember when I said Manti Teo is going to be better than Pat Willis at the beginning of the year and everyone laughed at me? who's laughin now?
-
hopefully this blows up in his face like starting Kapernick did for Harbaugh

Other than TFL stats I mentioned above, here is what IOAFM says:
By PFF's accounting, Von has 61 pressures (13 sacks, 11 hits, 37 hurries) in 663 snaps (9.2%), while Smith has 43 pressures (15 sacks, 9 hits, 19 hurries) in 618 snaps 7.0%). It's not exactly a close call. The site's grades say the same thing - they have Von at +60.1, and Smith at +14.6.
1) this is a defensive player of the week award, not DPOY. No argument can be made that Miller had a better game than Smith.
2) stats are useless. There are too many variables outside the players' control that effect the stats, which are often times difficult to measure in the first place (i.e. how close does one have to be for a pressure?). For example, Miller plays vs worse teams than Smith (AFC West is by far worst division, nfc is much better than afc), Smith competes with other studs on that D for plays, etc. Stickin with the niners, pat willis and justin smith are good examples of players with massive impacts who have lesser stats than infefior players who play the same position...heck Andrew Luc has a QBR below 80 but he is the best rookie Qb I have ever seen, even with RG3 and RW posting QBRs of 90+...
Von Miller is amazing.....total stud....potential HOFer at this rate....but lets not pretend he is way better than Aldon SMith. Watching both these guys play, it is clear both are probably the best at their position right now

Who ever said that the LB position was becoming obsolete?
They're impressive specimens... but it was the Bears offensive line. Cutler makes that group look about 10 times better than they actually are and they still look pretty bad even when he's under center.
The college game is very different from the NFL, it's never easy to project how a guy will do at the next level. There's only so much you can learn about any one player even through a fairly rigorous evaluation process.
i hear a lot of people sayin' that LBs are obsolete and not worthy of 1st round selections since it is a passing league....which i dont buy for a hot second
-
Aldon Smith had a monday night record 5.5 sacks + a FF v. a 7-2 Bears club and Miller gets it? Love me some Von Miller but Smith is coming off the best defensive performance the NFL has seen in a long, long time. Perhaps it is because he is overshadowed by the other big-names on that defense...
-
You might be the last person to notice his play ;)
There were a LOT of people who believed that he was the 49ers' best LB last year, even ahead of Patrick Willis. That whole group is just plain scary, though. There might not be another group of LBs in the history of the league that athletic and that individually dominant.
I believe those guys are proof that the LB position is not obsolete in today's NFL. The impact those two players have in the middle is ridiculous. Did you see them LAY OUT offensive linemen while bringing down forte with their free arm??? Who does that?! that is absurd. Those guys cover, hit, wrap up, chase down, shut down. I was amazed last night. How does a guy as athletic and instinctual as Bowman last till the late 3rd??? dont get it.
Now I really wanna draft a LB with our top couple pix....lol
-
holy cow. did anybody see this guys' performance last night? Gruden was going nuts saying how good he is. wow
-
I knew the moment when they drafted Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati in the same draft that their oline was going to be beast! And I knew about Bowman also and knew he was definitely a steal in the draft. He was an all-american playing next to Sean Lee at PSU. I feel as though if the 49ers didnt take bowman, we would have taken him because he was only 2 picks away and we ended up taking Pat Angerer.
Angerer was selection # 63. Bowman was #91
-
Saw this dude absolutely BEASTIN the other day but am not aware of his story? Where did he come from and has anyone else noticed this cat play?
-
Hmmmmmm....
-
People pay too much attention to high numbers and big stats. Not that those aren't important, but seriously Joe Montana was unphased and played his best football against the best teams, in the biggest games. He was just amazing. I remember him shredding the Denver D in the 89 superbowl....55 points! Joe was just too unstoppable when it counted for me to choose anyone else
-
Still not buyin the 49ers. I write this one off to Green Bay not being on top of their game.
-
dude wouldnt last a series let alone an entire game
That's why we could save him specifically for goal line or short-yardage situations. Let him clog up the middle
-
Saw this article on yahoo sports and thought I'd share it.
http://sports.yahoo....48099--nfl.html
He is massive. 6'11 500 lbs and is currently playing in Canada. He could be our version of Terrance Cody....a situational run stuffer.
Never a bad idea to get creative with your signings. Brandon Browner, Seattle's pro bowl corner, was plucked from the CFL last year
-
Well.... it's a big 'if'....
But, I'll say this..... **IF** Luck does not do well, this is how I see Colt's Nation reacting....
(Please Click Link)
LOL. Animal House reference....LOVE IT!!!

2) Ben Rothlesberger, started the majority of his rookie season and won the superbowl.
Now you name me 1 #1 overall pick who has sat behind someone and turned out great?
C'mon are you serious? Big Ben went to a GREAT team. They were built all around. We are solid too but not 15-1 good as that team was.
Narrowing down to just #1 pix isn't useful. You have to consider all rookie QBs
- Tom Brady: sat behind bledsoe (veteran)
- Eli Manning: started 7 games his 1st season, ALSO had a vet (Warner)
- Carson Palmer: sat behind VETERAN Jon Citna
- Drew Brees: sat behind a VETERAN (Doug Flutie)
- Phillip Rivers: sat behind Drew Brees
- Tony Romo (sat behind veteran DREW BLEDSOE)
- Aaron Rodgers (sat behind Favre for 3 YEARS)
- Mathew Stafford: Started 10 games, other by VETERAN Daunte Culpepper
see a trend?
(Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco aren't very good, so didn't include them)

You are kidding right?
Have Luck sit....hahaha. If you were gonna have Luck sit and absorb from anybody #18 wouldn't have left town. Thanks for this laugh, it'll be the best one I get all day.
You guys continue to lambast me, and in doing so are turning a blind eye to reality. Consider these thoughts:
1) Peyton and Andrew won't, couldn't, wouldn't, be on the same roster. Too much controversy. Too much cap space. So he couldn't have sat behind him.
2) Besides Peyton, who is in his own league really, name ONE QB who has turned out great after starting the majority of his rookie year?
Those guys that do start their rookie year tend to get pulverized and it can mess with them in the future. You know what they say: "Once bit, twice shy".
Look no hate on Andrew, I LOVE the dude and believe he will be great but we need a seasoned vet to take him under his wing year 1. Donovan McNabb is that guy. Plus he has boatloads of talent so we could still be competitive with him AS LONG AS we give him a chance and don't throw him under the bus as WAS and MINN did. He was doomed the second he signed those contracts....everyone saw it coming.
-
Hahahah!! I haven't laughed that hard since I was a little girl, thank you!
You guys laugh at me now but what do you think Texan's fans were saying after they drafted their Glory Boy David Carr? That he is going to suck? Definitely not. Of course we all believe and want Luck to be great from day one, but history says 1st year QBs that start take a beating. Alex Smith, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Russell, Couch....need I go on?
The smart thing to do is get a crafty mentor who Andrew can sit behind, watch, and learn. Donovan McNabb is ABSOLUTELY that guy. His numbers speak for themselves. He did WONDERS for Christian Ponder last year.
Honestly we'd be foolish not to bring him in and let him compete.
-
Potential back-up? At worst. I believe the guy could start for us. He got a bum deal in WAS and MIN, in Philly he really showed what he is capable of. I say offer him a cheap 1-year deal and have him start while Andrew absorbs the info from his first year in the league like a sponge. You don't want to throw him to the wolves and have him end up like David Carr. If he passes the physical I say bring him in.

M2D....
Sorry, I don't follow about Harrison being the GOAT?? Is that an anachronism for something? What does that mean? You lost me.
As for the 49ers.... they were a generation ahead of everybody else. Walsh was so far ahead of his time it's scary. His vision for the playbook and his ability to judge talent were unsurpassed. He was wired differently than most and that cost him, but what a talent. It's as if he was playing another game that everyone else was trying to figure out what it was.
I followed Walsh from his days as a Paul Brown assistant to a Chargers assistant, then to Stanford (!!!) and finally on to he 49ers.
A singular talent. Just tremendous. You'll get no argument from me.
And believe me when I say.... that nothing I wrote here is to be taken as a slight to Marvin Harrison. I know just how great he was. Didn't follow him much at Syracuse, but I followed him from draft day. Right when Ron Jaworski said he was the best wide receiver taken in a much heralded class of WR's. He was indeed a Hall of Famer.
(Just wish he didn't have these post career issues)
GOAT = Greatest of all time.
And yes Bill Walsh was something else. I remember him at Stanford. Truly a legend in every sense of the word. I actually followed Joe Montana's early career much more closely however, because I am a huge FIGHTIN IRISH fan. I love watching ND players succeed in the NFL. People are surprised Joe Montana was great because he was a 3rd rounder, but anyone who watched him play understood he was just the perfect, protoypical QB, even if his height/weight/speed were underwhelming. Watching him in college, you just knew he possessed "what it takes".
And cannot wait for Harrison to hit the HOF!

hated that niner team but damn how many guys would you take over joe montana in a big game or a game that is on the line
