A Kaepernick hire.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Ugh, I hate Jed York so much.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I called it. Tom Gamble will be the go between between Baalke and Chipper.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Ugh, I hate Jed York so much.

Why? Would you rather have Shanahan? This is the hire I hoped they would make.

 

[le_sean]

Ah yes, a team with zero offensive weapons hires a purely offensive coach.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Best of all the remaining coaches. Best news for Kap, as well.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Cards , Ram and Seahawk fans gotta be happy about this news

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Ah yes, a team with zero offensive weapons hires a purely offensive coach.

If you changed that to lineman, you'd be correct. They have some playmakers on offense.

Not like they don't have to rebuild the defense as well.

Rams don't really have a fan base at the moment to care one way or the other.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That'll go south on the Niners sooner rather than later.

I'd rather have Harbaugh. But we need to win with class and go cheap.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They don't. Secondary and line backers are good. Line could use some upgrades.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Actually linebackers are where they need to upgrade.

Doubt Kelly was a cheap hire.

Niners pay 24.5 m a year to play at Levi's. They didn't fire Harbaugh to save money.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

If I were still a Niner fan, this news would upset me. Now that I am a Rams fan again, I like it.

The Yorks need to go. The Yorks have butchered this proud franchise

Rams don't really have a fan base at the moment to care one way or the other.

Untrue.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

On Wilhoite and Brooks, yeah. But they still have a few good ones.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Plus eating 10.5 mil to get rid of a mistake in Tomsula.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If you changed that to lineman, you'd be correct. They have some playmakers on offense.

Care to identify these "playmakers"?

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I don't think Chip Kelly is necessarily a bad coach. He was a bit overzealous in his roster moves this offseason, even though no one he let go of was any good.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

If I were still a Niner fan, this news would upset me. Now that I am a Rams fan again, I like it.

Untrue.

Your "Rams" have Jeff Fisher.

Untrue.

The Rams announced they were moving a couple days ago. Of course they got some La fans now, but they won't really build the fan base until tickets go for sell and the season starts getting closer.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Who?

Boldin, Torrey Smith, Carlos Hyde, Shaun Draughn

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Boldin, Torrey Smith, Carlos Hyde, Shaun Draughn

- Boldin is soon to be 36 and best days are behind him
- Smith is not a top WR and needs a QB who can hit him in stride deep
- Draughn and Hyde haven't proven much and neither has been that impressive in NFL thus far

Seriously what on earth has Draughn done in NFL?
