Football Chances the 49ers are done? - Page 2

**Buehler445** · 01-19-2014, 09:56 PM

I believe Kaepernick is going to want paid, so they're going to have to let a lot of talent walk.

Are they done? What say you?

GoChargers · 01-19-2014, 10:17 PM

I certainly hope they're done just so their bitch-ass fans and coach can STFU and GTFO.

It really is but they've been hit with some serious injuries, suspensions, and losses to free agency and still plug and play like a Belichick team.

Lose Goldson in FA? Draft Reid and he's one of the best rookies in the draft class.

Sopoaga gets traded? They pick up Glen Dorsey and he has the best year of his career.

Aldon Smith gets suspended? Lemonier (sp?) steps up and plays well.

Pat Willis goes down? Navarro Bowman becomes all-pro.

It really is incredible.

Bowman might miss a good chunk of next season though and some players will have to walk for sure. Also, Frank Gore has been a rock for them since, what, 04 or 05? He's, hands down, the most underrated RB of the last 10 years but he's been in the league and took a pounding for a while. We may begin to see a decline in his play very soon.

I saw that decline this year... In my opinion, at least

I think it's a done deal. They let Smith go. There is Kaepernick, Colt McCoy, and McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Unless they make a play for a top guy in the draft, I think they're paying him.

Maybe they want to give us 2 seconds for Chase Daniel

**The Bad Guy** · 01-19-2014, 10:22 PM

What I'm shocked with is that they will return the same coaching staff that's been to 3 straight NFC title games.

It amazes me that Roman and Fangio get picked over every year.

If he doesn't improve as a passer they might fall back to the middle of the pack.

Yeah, I don't see how they can give him the cheddar he wants with the limited results they've gotten from him...

Eleazar · 01-19-2014, 10:22 PM

I don't know anything about their cap situation, but they've been good on defense for a while now, and a lot of those guys aren't young. It's possible they could have to let some people go.

But well run organizations don't seem to need to do rebuilds, they just continually draft talented players and things work out.

The impact Smith has after he starts missing a step on Aldon will be huge...

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-19-2014, 10:24 PM

Aldon Smith's personal troubles are an odd godsend for the 49ers. It will drop his value enough that they may be able to hold on to him. But if Kaepernick wants almost $20 mil, they might want to consider a contingency plan. He hasn't earned anywhere near that, and unless he turns into a top flight QB, that contract will absolutely cripple them.

They will pay Kaepernick.

Either he becomes a good enough passer to win big games, or he fails and they start over.

There's no need to skip right to the fail condition.

Why can't we get their DC to come here to replace Sutton? Money talks pay him HC money and if ego is left at the door then Andy Reid should go with it.

Gunther Cunningham is the only man alive that could keep that defense out of the top five.

Depends on 2 things really. #1 - can Kaepernick become a QB that can carry any team to victory? Right now, he isn't. #2 - can San Francisco find talent for cheap? You never know when that undrafted free agent will come right in and contribute in a big way. There's several throughout the league every year.

Nobody wants to wait until nearly the end of January to select a coach.
