^^ yep

This team has gotten itself at least 4 more wins just off of FA alone.

Can easily get on board with Thomas, I really hope that between free agency and the draft we find a receiver that can stretch defenses, really hope to be able to throw passes longer than ten yards next season. Would help out Thomas and our young guys tremendously...


If you think about it, rothlesburger has always had a guy like that, even with his good TEs. And I thought that's who Blake was always compared to.

Ok I'll admit I have no idea who that is? I've seen the name on here a few times. I'll have to google him, damn I hate not following the nfl as close as I did in my younger years.
A little more info on Skuta:

We got our OTTO.

So he's good I take it?
As of now, I have to imagine Skuta's the likely starter at OTTO.

I'll tell you all right now: if Gus Bradley can't get atleast a 7-9, or 8-8 record with all of our FA acquisitions and draft picks in April (along with our up and coming 2nd and 3rd year players); then he deserves to be fired. No excuses. At this point if we don't win this year it's all on Bradley and the coaching staff.

This roster is finally coming together. Filling holes all around the field as it stands and we've still got the draft ahead of us. I can't imagine we'll be starting many rookies this year which will be new for this regime.

49er fans are upset to see him go. We are definitely the most active team on the market.
Quote:So he's good I take it?
 

Was a rotational player for his first few years in the league in Cincinnati. Signed with the 49ers and started 18 games over the last two years with 5.0 sacks and 3 forced fumbles last season.

 

Edit: Only downside (barring significant overpay) is that he'll be 29 in April.

With all the free agents potentially coming,we still have a question at LT.Can Luke play or not

Quote:So he's good I take it?


He's one of Dave's patented free agent fliers. I'm sure he's not getting a ton of money to come here to see if he can prove himself full-time. In part-time play he had 33 tackles and 5 sacks.
The Niners have really lost it.

yup 

things could change in the draft

This roster is coming together but in order to see major improvement we'll need to see Bortles take that next step. Bortles is key.
