I think he has that job pretty much locked up.

At least Alex Smith has worked with AJ for a year. I'm sure he provided some good intel on if he is worth anything. I'm glad to see Baldwin gone but hate the wasted potential...and pick.

Should make for an interesting side story when both teams meet up in Super Bowl XLVIII

We could've had Torrey Smith. :(

I would love to see that.

If something like that actually happened, Smith vs Kaepernick would be the story line.

Probably the best story line that the NFL could hope for.

Who was going to throw the 9 routes to Torrey Smith? He would've been held back big time in our offense. Then and now.

That is a good point and I would add that when Alex wants to he can accurately hit the deeper routes. I totally hated that trade but I like Smith's accuracy and mobility. That alone was a major improvement over what we had here. I think we have a shot at an 8-8 season.

The Oline is mostly young and needs to gel.
We still don't have the receivers we need but Trent Green didn't either. He did have a wall for an oline and that gave them time to get open.
The defense is very good and could be top 5 by the end of the year. (except for Spiro T. Agnew at corner).

We won 2 games last year with 6 probowlers on the team. There is talent to build on here.

Horseshit.

They just released the depth chart for this week. Avery is the #2 followed by Wylie than Jenkins.

Harbaugh brothers was a good story line.

Brady choking to Eli FOR A 2ND TIME was a good story line.

A linebacker tackling a running back is criminal in every other work environment in America. There are fights between players in every training camp.

It's not an apples:apples comparison.

ROFL! KC fans and Niner fans arguing who's acquisition sucks the most. LMAO

Swap a Boomer Grigsby jersey for your Baldwin?

A flawless transition from Cassel troll to Smith troll. I think you're doing a great job.

Hmmm? From what I can see, we just obtained a pussy and the 9ers got a guy with a 10 cent head, does that about cover it?

Bottom line, there was nothing to lose for either team, so what the hell, roll the dice.

Don't worry Jenkins is the #5 receiver right now. Just released the depth chart.

Here's hoping that the NFL is rigged.

Glad we got that cleared up.

Print um. PBJ

essentially.

Or you can break it down like this.

A giant of a man that plays like a pussy, and a scrawny runt that is a pussy and gets treated as such.

They just switched spots.

I put him on ignore after he decided to troll with Smith. Can't take the idiocy any longer.

OUR FIVE WIDE SET IS GONNA RULE

Even if he never does anything else, it would be hilarious if he goes out and gets 100 yards and 2 TDs against Jacksonville. It won't happen but it would be funny.

no one cares that you have them on ignore jags fan.

Jenkins is behind Avery and Wylie at the #2 WR spot.

DAAAAAMNNNNNN.

Apparently, by gones, aren't by gones lol

LMAO that is awesome

Broncos already have that nailed down.

I disagree..his best moment was a play that was called back when he caught the ball behind the defenders back and controlled it through the process. One of the crazier catches I've seen. Although Reggie Waynes the other night against the Giants was pretty sick also.

That about covers it. Two looks at it from yesteryear.

ROFLROFLROFL

I was hoping that Baldwin was to offset the pick for next year. :(

When the biggest highlight of your short 2 1/4 year NFL career as a FIRST ROUND pick is a catch that was called back, you know your time is up!

There's not a single ounce of remorse in me for shedding this piece of dead weight.

GOOD RIDDANCE!

Jon Baldwin finally gets to play with a real QB, so there's that.

From what I am hearing in San Fran, they had no one left who was willing to clean the toilets so the Baldwin trade will work out well for them.

Glad they got rid of Baldwin. But biggest win is that we can stop wasting time with Baldwin running with the 1's, and finally see what Avery's got.

yeah, that's what I said earlier.

The bottom line is that Baldwin had no future here and was going to be cut.

Jenkins comes here with no expectations, so if he works out, great. If not, oh well.

It's a mutually beneficial trade.

Anything was preferable to just cutting him and then seeing him show up in New England, Green Bay, Dallas or Pittsburgh and then become a key part of a Super Bowl run.

Actually he had 1 more highlight:

"Thats what Todd Haley does......he develops receivers" ROFL

Just heard 49ers "insider" Matt Barrows on the radio discussing Jenkins.

He said Baalke traded Jenkins because the coaches demanded it. He said Jenkins had to go because of bad work ethic and just not taking things seriously and no motivation. He said he thinks it could have been a locker-room cancer to keep him as the 5th or 6th WR, when much harder working guys got cut. As if the veterans might be upset over keeping a guy who won't work hard.

He mentioned a sideline shot during the KC SF game where Jenkins was joking with the other WRs and they were having none of it. Shut him down. Just completely ignored him. Nobody wanted him there from his coaches to the other WRs.

Barrows repeated about some guys being the first in the door every morning (Kaepernick) and made it sound like Jenkins was the last to come in each day and the first to leave. He talked about guys staying late and working round the clock, making it sound like Jenkins did not put in any extra effort.

He talked about Harbaugh's continued praise of Quinton Patton and Patton's drive and dedication and motivation. The implication is Jenkins is the opposite.

Bottom line, he made it sound like Jenkins was just very lazy with no dedication and no desire to learn his craft or develop his skills.

If the Chiefs can fix that, the performance will come. Frankly, I don't believe it is fixable. Guys have it or don't. You can't coach self-motivation or work ethic any more than you can make a short-haired chic grow her hair out long, or get a chic that wears sweats to bed to start wearing lingerie. It is either there from the start, or it isn't.

Maybe this is a wake up call. Chiefs can only hope.

Baldwin and Jenkins sound like the same guy. They got paid, and then get the "I made it" attitude.

WR 17 Donnie Avery 19 Devon Wylie A.J. Jenkins 8 Josh Bellamy 85 Frankie Hammond Jr.
WR 82 Dwayne Bowe 22 Dexter McCluster 88 Junior Hemingway 15 Terrance Copper 14 Tyler Shoemaker 84 Jamar Newsome 83 Rico Richardson

I find the new depth chart kind of interesting. Wylie and McCluster as the #1 sub on both sides, when they are actually slot.

That makes Hemingway the top sub for Bowe and AJ is starting as the top sub for Avery.

If Avery does not work out as the #2 guy opposite Bowe, who gets the chance to at that spot? Hemingway (Mr. 7th round)? or AJ (Mr.1st round)?

so we traded shit for shit.

That is all it is. New name. Same old shit. Gives the team a new guy to hate.

Exactly. It's a wash.

That's saying a lot considering the ****ing garbage you spew around here on a daily basis.

Outside of Bowe, Avery's been the most consistent thing in this entire WR corps all offseason. Why the **** wouldn't he work out and someone else would?

Avery 1 reception for 6 yards
Hemingway 1 reception for 7 yards

If you want to talk about most consistent, try Jamar Newsome with 4 receptions for 27 yards.

Avery has been suspect since before he got here. Speed merchant with questionable hands. I would love it if he panned out as a guy to take the top off defense. Not sure I am in the boat of picking him over the field at this point.

has he seriously only caught 1 ball?
...please tell me I read things completely wrong

Just when you think Pioli coulld not suck any worse, you realize he can. Getting absolutely NOTHING from 1st round picks is ****ING AWESOME! Matt Millen has nothing on Scott Pioli.

Well, that is one more ball than Jenkins has caught his entire career.....

yeah was referring to Jenkins...he caught only 1 ball? :eek:

I thought Alex Smith loved TEs?

He was a rookie that was active for only 3 games, stuck behind 4 legit receivers. It's understandable, even if disappointing, that his stats are what they are..

Hopefully he grows the **** up, but given that the 49ers got rid of him, that's a fat chance.

No, he has 0 catches.

5 games, 1 target, 0 catches in 2012.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14947/aj-jenkins

Pretty much this. I'm happy with this trade.

Stuck behind Nobody. Manningham & Williams had season ending injuries. Randy Moss was #2 behind Crabree. Moss was getting very few targets. There was a desperate need for a productive #2. Jenkins was just a lazy ass and didn't do anything to put himself on a pro football field.

Jenkins was stuck behind NOBODY. When you put Chad Hall into a playoff game, you are stuck behind NOBODY.

Your new WR is a turd, just like our new WR.

:hmmm:

I guess they were not so memorable

Hopefully we'll see more of Avery this weekend.

At least I got chicken.

Dwayne Bowe 0 receptions

WHAT IF BOWE DOESN'T WORK OUT

Avery is a 600-800 yard a year guy. He has proven it in his career. He should work easily.

Baldwin was gonna leave the team one way or another, so might as well take a chance on a guy who has the physical skills to fit the new scheme better. Best of luck to Jon on a legit Superbowl caliber team, and we can keep our fingers crossed that Jenkins change of environment is the wake up call he needs to put up or shut up. He can go home and actually get a real job, or play his ass off and live up to his physical potential.

I think Donnie Avery can do nicely. Get him going with the starters and see if we can finally start throwing to some receivers next game.

:clap:

Pioli also organized a trade with former colleague Thomas Dimitroff, later the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, that sent longtime Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez to Atlanta in exchange for a draft pick that brought Javier Arenas to the Chiefs.

Pioli was responsible for the hiring of Cassel and his back up Brady Quinn as quarterbacks. The Chiefs had the worst record in the NFL for interceptions (20) in 2012 (Cassel threw 12 and Quinn threw 8). The Chiefs had the worst record in the NFL in offensive passing.

Both Crennel and Pioli were fired at the end of the season with Pioli formally being fired January 4, 2013. Cassel was also unconditionally released.

During Pioli's term, more than half the Chiefs back office personnel left the organization including club president Denny Thum who was team president and had been with the organization since 1974

DAMN IMPRESSIVE!!! ROFL

None of those games with Alex at QB if I'm not mistaken. Not saying this to suggest that he'll get better with Alex as much as to dispell the thoughts that Alex might have any kind of chemistry with him.

If he couldn't catch it when Alex loft it into his hands, what makes you think he'll do better with the missles that Kaep launches?

The difference is that Kaep's throws will break ribs when he lets it hit the numbers. I predict Baldwin goes on IR before the 53 cuts.

"I can't cast!"

If those were Carl cronnies, they needed gone.

Alex Smith is not making ANY WRs better.

So... we're NOT moving him to TE?

With Alex chucking it, may have nobody but Fasano, Charles, and McCluster work out.

Was not trying to bust your chops. Since you said Avery was most consistent in offseason, it got me curious and looked up the stats. Thought it was funny Avery and Hemingway had almost identical stat lines.

He hasn't appeared to do so during the pre-season. I can't disagree.

On the other hand, he has done what some have been asking for...put enough focus on Baldwin to get his ass off the team.

Cool. Why not? Both were most likely going to be cut anyway. It makes sense to possible help both players and both teams since they compliment each others style of play better. If it doesn't work oh well. Nothing ventured nothing gained. But if these guys don't show something in the next couple of weeks with their new teams they will most likely be out of the league.

Yeah, good point.
