The only thing Jacobs has is his size and weight but he plays like he's half his size and this guy couldnt even beat out Bradshaw for more carries so no way in hell he surpasses Gore. Hell, he wont even surpass Hunter nor should he. Hopefully, Jacobs gets released before the season and be long gone. The sad part is that if Jacobs played on the field like he runs his mouth, he would probably still be the starter in NY but he's not because he's an average at best RB. He was signed to push Dixon and after pre-season when Dixon out plays Jacobs, he can be let go and move on.

Jacobs will be the 3rd at best RB for us as there's a better chance of everyone on this board kissing my ass then there is of Jacobs beating out Hunter for the second spot on the depth chart. We dont need Jacobs whatsoever and once he becomes a pain in the ass, he'll be gone. And hopefully, that day will come sooner rather than later.

That's another fact which I hated. He doesn't shut his mouth, which is very annoying! I said it when he was productive, and that was his success when it was good, in terms of production, was a function of our OL. That was when we had a plug and play system.

Realistically, I don't expect much from him. Maybe 2nd string if things are good. If not, and he gets cut, I hope to god we move on and don't re-sign him. Somehow our fan base likes me, which leaves me in the minority because I personally can't stand the guy.

Hunter isn't a guy who can carry the load on his own and with the aging Gore you have to have a good blocker and big runner. Hunter is good for the change of pace but isn;t an every down back so Dixon and Jacobs may fight it out and get that spot.

If jacobs does get cut, I am not sure any other team would pick him up. I'd be very surprised actually..

I am not comparing the two.. I said in a prior post, Gore had more talent. I'd take jacobs as a blocker any day over Gore. Outside of his physical ability, he is useless and I am glad he is gone.

Jacobs had 5.6 yards in 2010, and when our OL was god like, he was averaging 5.0 yards of carry. So he was very producteive, unless you think that's not good. But outside of that, I never was a fan of his. So saying Gore is better, is not shocking. I agree... I was waiting until Jacobs would get cut. I never was a fan of his.

I never said Jacobs was better than Gore. I said if your OL was like ours at that given time period, Jacobs can be very productive, and could even be more productive than Gore.

I doubt your OL was like ours back then, so this renders the whole thing pointless anyways. I don't think, as of now, Jacobs being productive anyways, unless your OL, like I mentioned is as good as ours was back then. I don't see your OL being anywhere near as good as ours in 2007 and 2008 in rushing. So, having said that I doubt Jacobs would do anything anyways. So fear not, I expect Jacobs to be number 2 or 3.

Our running scheme is nothing like what Gilbride runs so comparing O-Lines and how they run block is pointless. Bottom line, Jacobs is a infearior RB, on ALL levels to Gore(yes, even pass-blocking Gore is argubably best in league). He's been in pretty much the same offense his entire career so it will be interesting to see just how well he adapts to our scheme. I feel he isnt a upgrade to anything we do. He's just another body at this point. He's not as physical of runner as Gore. He only runs with power when he has a full head of stem and he has a DB in his sights. He hits the hole like he's walking on egg shells. We already have one big back with a penchant for bouncing runs to the outside. But he's a big vet that has had some success in the league. And being that Jimbaugh loves competition and players earning their keep, to me it seems to be a move to bolster the competitveness in the backfield, nothing more.

I agree. Hunter is a speed back but he's pretty good and should get more carries and more screen passes because of his small size, speed and quickness. Keeping Gore fresh is the key come December and January. Using Hunter more throughout the season will accomplish that. Jacobs/Dixon will be the 3rd RB either way but im hoping Dixon outplays Jacobs in pre-season because im not a fan of Jacobs and dont want him as a 49er.

Grant Cohn can be a bit lame at times.

Groundbreaking on the new stadium is scheduled for April 19th. New digs for the boys are on the way and loooooooooong overdue. Gotta get to Candlestick before it closes.

Yes you have two years. Make them out.

This is just an insane 45 minutes of SICK!!!

I actually really like the design they did on the inside of the numbers. Here are the Nike 49ers jersey:

No changes to color or scheme but overall different type of jersey design. Love the new v-neck. Jerseys look sleeker and tighter. The side mesh reminds me of the cool base jerseys MLB has.

Those are hideous but at least they aren't ALL lime green....but I bet they have an alternate setup that is. Another reason why I'm glad I'm not a 'Hawks fan.

Ness · 04-03-2012, 11:53 AM

Thank goodness ours didn't change very much.

YAYareaRB · 04-03-2012, 12:28 PM

there are some jerseys in the NFL and NCAA that you just cannot change.

but, apparently, red and gold shoes, no matter how hideous they look, seem to be okay? bring back the black ones.

Man.. I got goosebumps as soon as the SF Anthem came on towards the end. Love that song!

Here's to another 45 minute video at the end of next season ending with the superbowl victory.

I'm sure the shoes will change. Players have shoe contracts, so they won't just be wearing Nike shoes.

OG Jason Brown is set to visit this week.

Alex Smith is on a 500 man search for the missing 15-year old in Morgan Hill, California.

ESPN graded the NFC West offseason. each team had an A except for the cardinals.

If he signs, I think its mostly likely to back-up center but Im sure they wouldnt mind him giving Kilgore some comp at RG. With Synder leaving, we dont have a back-up center for the 53, unless they move up Beeler from the PS, who I think is still a year away from making the roster. I think barring some last minute development, Kilgore will head into mini-camp as the starter at RG. They've brought in number of OGs and was only in serious contract talks with one of them(Schwartz). So that tells me that Baalke is fairly confident in Kilgore's abilities to man the RG spot.....which they should be, hence the trade up in last year's draft. I think we'll draft another OG but barring some major roster move, I assumed Kilgore has been penciled in as the starter. I will say this, if Kilgore is the starter and hits the ground running and has a solid season, you have to classify Baalke's draft as one of the best from last year, if it hasn't already.

edgrenade · 04-03-2012, 11:59 PM

I'm not saying that the results will be the same, but everyone was saying last year that we needed someone to come in after we let Takeo go. But we had Bowman to take his place and the staff knew what they had in him. Maybe it is the same situation with Snyder and Kilgore???

And I think now are better chances, because TKO was one of the best in '10 and Snyder was just a Back Up who fills in for Bust Rachal.
