He’s going to be 38, his agent is looking for 14.5 million. It’s one thing looking great throwing to Fitzgerald and Boldin, another to be throwing to Arnaz Battle (no knock on Battle). Because of the Niners’ offensive plans, I couldn’t see him putting up numbers anywhere near what he got in Arizona.

Do NOT want.
Too much for too short of a time. 15 per??
We dont have the WR tools the Cards have, he’ll be the old Kurt with a 1-2 TD-INT ratio and a fumble a game. JTO 2.0

in the event that Alex Smith’s contract is not renegotiated, and he does not return. He would be a significant upgrade over Hill and play the same role of a 1-2 year solution while a draftee or younger player learns the offense.

I think the 49ers are thinking the same.

Warner isn’t going to sign with us because of what we did to his buddy Martz

YES WITH A CAPITAL J!

sign him, draft stafford. Take away a division rival(who relies on a passing game)’s qb

JES

He is a great passer but when the pocket breaks down he flounders. Last year it was different because he had three gaudy receivers, a nice TE, and 2 rbs who could catch out of the back field. We have no receivers that match up remotely with Arizona’s, yes even Breaston is better than any of ours. If you watched Warner he would throw dangerous passes when the pocket broke down, but because of those great receivers they could make up for his passes. Lastly we will be a run first, controlled passing game, team next season and that is not Warner’s M.O.. I would prefer Garcia far more than Warner, especially with our type of our offense.

If the Niners are convinced that Smith won’t sign (doesn’t appear that way from the tea leaves) and that Hill, despite his winning record, isn’t a “winner”, then drafting someone and bringing in Warner wouldn’t be that bad. But do the Niners want to pay Warner to hand off and throw ball control passes? Hill will do that, Smith can do that. For that matter, for a backup, so can Gus Frerotte.

I’d just as soon keep Hill and Smith and draft a QB in the middle rounds. Put that money to better use.

That’s all, really.

The only team Kurt will have any signficance on in 2009 is Arizona.

The Niners better not overpay for a QB that doesn’t fit into a play action pass, bootleg style offense.

Of course we want Warner ankd of course it’s not too much money. Warner will be more efficient for deep throws downfield then either of our qb’s. Maybe we should run plays with V Davis at WR, and make up for lost time. You’ve gotta be buying this. Draft Ramses Barden and you have a jump ball receiver. We didn’t have a problem with dropped passes just ineffective red zone play. Here’s another reason to bring Johnson back they have had some rapport. He’s too accurate to pass up. Alex Smith can go adn we can groom a late round qb or look to one in the future. Kurt Warner with Shaun Hill backing him up would be great as long as we run the ball well.

That would change our mock draft and FA outlook. Now Canty looks intriguing and so does m jenkins to play FS at pick 10 or trade down and get V Davis and another 3rd or second. If he’s interested pull the trigger..

The Cards want to give him $20 over 2, Kurt wants $29 over 2. Why would the Niners sign that kind of garbage contract?

In summary: Kurt Warner would be an acquisition that, as a group, we are far more welcoming to than we would have thought if you asked us in the middle of the Shaun Hill winning streak. But he doesn’t come without concern, namely the offensive line and the fact that if I do take a shot every time he mentions Jesus I’ll probably die, and I don’t think alcohol poisoning gets you into heaven.

And damn, that’s a lot of money.

To clarify, I’m not criticizing Warner for being a devoted… ummm… Christian denomination. I think that’s admirable. I’m simply making light of the sometimes self-parodic style with which he promotes that devotion.

Simply this is a move by the Niners and Warner to drive up the price on Arizona. The more money Arizona spends on retaining a 38 year old QB the better it is for the Niners. This deal will not happen.
