NFL Offseason

The 49ers lost Josh Morgan to Washington. Vincent Jackson is reportedly going to Tampa Bay. I hope the 49ers are targeting Mike Wallace.
 
I wish I knew what the hell the Dolphins are thinking. Whether they snag Manning, sign Flynn, or draft Tannehill, they'll now have a QB without a #1 WR to throw to. I realize free agency is only a few hours old, but with Vincent Jackson signing with the Bucs, there's really no player Miami can realistically get that would realistically compare with Marshall's ability.
 
Happy to read the news that the 49ers are about to re-sign Carlos Rogers. I was worried we were going to lose him. The 49ers have now been able to hang on to Rogers, Goldson, and Brooks. Defense should still be great.

Hang in there, we'll agree on something someday. Maybe.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Alex Smith is an elite QB, but I watched alot of 9er games this year and I was amazed to see how often Crabtree was put in position to make a play and couldn't come through. Seriously, I think he's horrible. The Braylon Edwards signing had no positive effect and as a Dolphin fan I can tell you first hand how bad of a WR Ted Ginn is. He'll make 2 or 3 amazing plays in the passing game all season and spend the rest of the year running poor routes, dropping routine catches, and don't even ask him to make a tough catch in traffic. He isn't anything more than a return specialist.

If anything, I think the WR's made Alex look worse than he actually is. If Moss can give them anything and SF is smart enough to acquire a Vincent Jackson or Mike Wallace, I think Alex will look like an honest to goodness above average QB. Not elite, but certainly better than alot of what is starting in the NFL right now.

SF was a dream job for a real coach, which Harbaugh is. You are sounding like somebody that watches the 9ers a lot more than I do, which wouldn't take much. I know, as a Brown, how bad Braylon sucks. I don't need to see him ever again. I have no opinion of Ginn and am not an OSU guy. Crabtree is a guy that will either get it or won't. He's got the goods. SF has nothing to lose by playing out his rookie contract.

As a Dolphin I wonder if I could ask, do you think they will draft Tannehil? It seems like the most likely destination for him now.
 
I know I was really disappointed when I heard about the Marshall trade but when waking up this morning I heard some news that lessened the blow.

Here is a link and small quote from the link.

[h=1]Brandon Marshall in fight[/h]Just four days before being traded to his third NFL team, new Bears receiver Brandon Marshall was involved in an incident at a New York City nightclub.
Marshall, dealt by Miami to Chicago on Tuesday afternoon, was at a New York club early Sunday morning when, law-enforcement sources told The New York Post, the Pro Bowl wideout allegedly got into an argument with a group of friends celebrating a birthday at the club.

I've been trying to watch as much on Tannehil as I can but I still don't know much about him. I like his size, love his athletic ability, and he seems to throw a pretty nice ball. My biggest concern is the fact that he hasn't started alot of games @ QB so the sample size isn't that great. I agree that Miami is his eventual landing spot so I'm hoping for the best.

What's been really interesting to me is the fact that Philbin doesn't seem to be to keen on signing Matt Flynn. IMO that's gotta make you wonder if there's some red flags on him. I know he's had a nice couple of games, but this was the guy who backed-up Jemarcus Russell at LSU and was a 7th round pick and his former OC doesn't seem to want him all that bad.
 
Tannehill played in Mike Sherman's system at TA&M. IIRC Sherman is the Dolphin's OC now. Sherman is also a Holmgren guy so RT would fit in on the Browns as well.

I'm hearing a lot of buzz among Browns fans about him. He may go #4. He had a good bowl game, played in an NFL offense, has a superb skillset. Sanchez started fewer games and wasn't as talented. A lot of people see him as a top 10 talent. If he's that good we may as well take him. There is about zero chance Cleveland can land Barkley next year.

Pretty good write-up on him.

That was a great read, thanks for posting it.

I am afraid of Cleveland taking him before Miami gets the chance. I'm hoping Cleveland gets hot and heavy in the Flynn sweepstakes because that would pretty much open the door for Miami to take him, but the way things go for Miami, they'll end up missing out on Manning, Flynn, and Tannehill.
