49ers definitely raising the ante in the Kurt Warner sweepstakes

FOOCH'S UPDATE 4:15pm: Not to surprisingly, Warner won't be making his decision today.
"Nothing is going to happen tonight," said Mark Bartelstein, Warner's agent. "He's going to have to sit down and talk to his wife and me. We'll get through today and figure out what to do from there."
______________________________________
Now that Kurt Warner is officially in the building (with his better half in tow), this situation takes on a whole new level of significance. The initial rumor was that this was all a ploy by Warner's agent to leverage a bigger deal out of Arizona. If that is still the case, then kudos to Kurt Warner AND his agent for playing this all the way out. I'm sure I could come up with more poker analogies, but I'll leave that to everyone else.
For now, we've got some commentary from Trent Dilfer on the 49ers-Warner-Cardinals love triangle. Dilfer's most interesting comment is that Singletary is in fact open to "all kinds of things offensively." Obviously that's not shocking, but given the comments up to this point, it certainly makes the team more amenable to Kurt Warner.
Arguments have ranged from salary to potential decapitation with a bad offensive line. I continue to think the money isn't such a big issue. Say they give him $15M this season (just for argument's sake). They currently sit with approximately $25M in cap space, potentially $29M if the increase of $4M goes down. Once they handle Jonas Jennings and Alex Smith, they clear another $10M in cap room. Given that it would likely be a 2-year deal and 2010 is looking like a capless season, it's even less of an issue.
As for the physical issues...I think the 49ers were already looking at an offensive tackle as a possible 10th pick. If they can find a solid option at right tackle, this offensive line could be quite solid in 2009. You're looking at Heitman, Baas, Rachal, Staley and unnamed RT. Rachal has a year under his belt and Staley will have a year at left tackle under his belt. I actually think the offensive line will be solid in 2009.
As for the personnel issues, I think the 49ers receivers have the potential to be solid options. Maybe not guys who will stretch the field a ton, but quality talent nonetheless. We'll have plenty more to discuss on this issue so I'll just leave it at that.
Much more to come on this developing story...

Singletary and Warner's strong faith/ not such a bad idea after all
1. Does anyone think that Singletary being a very devout Christian could help win over Warner who is famously also very religious?
2. I like everyone else initially thought this was a bad idea. However after reading this, I’m less skeptical. Just because we want to run the ball a lot doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a good quarterback. At some point all of these teams that win with the run and a great defense find themselves in a position where they have to throw the ball to win (Tennessee, Chicago, Minnesota). The ones that are most successful have a veteran QB like Collins and the McNair/ Dilfer Raven’s teams as opposed to mistake prone youngsters like Tavaris Jackson, Boller and Grossman (I know Grossman got to the Super Bowl, but that was in spite of him). Given that the Niners defense is improved, but FAR from great, this will probably be the case even more. Given our cap room and little interest in the free agents out there this year I think this could be a good move. Especially if 2010 is capless.

Funny Story
I just signed up to the AroundTheHorn twitter owned by Toni Riali (I’m a slave to technology fads) and asked him his opinion on the matter of Sing’s and Warner’s religion love being a winning point in the negotiations. He replied directly to me (twitter rules) saying that he hadn’t thought of it, but its possible. But he also believes that it shouldn’t happen for the Niners or Warner’s benefit, it helps no party.
Blind devotion.

not only would we improve at the qb position but wed essentially take out any chance of a Cardinal repeat as NFC West champions. Killing 2 “Birds” with one stone hahaha…ihave way too much time on my hands

The Cards don’t have much of a chance at repeating with Warner. And remember, the team still has Q, Fitz, and Breaston in the WR Corps. While Leinart’s career hasn’t blasted off, it could at any given opportunity with the talent he’d be throwing the ball to, especially after learning from Warner.
I don’t think we need to sign Kurt to make the Cardinals worse, I think we need to think about signing Kurt to make our team better.

Agreed
I think Warner for two years would be a good move, help improve the team right away, mentor Alex Smith for two years… this could end up being a really good thing if it works out. I’d LOVE to get Jay Cutler somehow, but I doubt that’s going to happen, so I would happily take Warner.

it would allow McDaniels to get his “own” guy at QB via the draft, and have Warner hold down the fort until the rookie is ready. Perhaps, perhaps.

I know this implies to the NBA but assume it has to apply to most professional sports. When you sign a free agent there is a grace period in which the guy signed has to agree to the trade.
Even if there isn’t a rule . . . the 49ers front office would commit free agent suicide. Free agents would be afraid to sign with the team for years, and Warner’s agent would never work with the team again.

Why wouldn't the Broncos just sign Warner?
Then they could trade Cutler and get a huge return. Not to mention the fact that Warner is 38 and there is no way he’s getting traded straight up for Cutler regardless, Cutler is just so much more valuable.

I thought the same thing... but a lil bit more complicated
I say we sign Warner, trade him for Cassel then trade Cassel to Denver for Cutler.. that way Warner is back in Haley’s system, Cassel is reunited with Mcdaniels and we get a up and coming Super star
Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect Smith to be super so soon.

Gives us a couple solid years at QB at most which is plenty of time to develop Shaun Hill into something quite impressive, especially with a mentor like Warner. And if we can pick up Pat White in the third round or something, even better. We’ll have gone from having no depth to plenty of depth with a real athlete in Pat White. Or we could just get Jay Cutler but… c’mon, how far fetched is that?

Dennis Dixon
I was a big Dennis Dixon supporter last year. We probably could’ve had him with our Lance Briggs pick (doh!) and he didn’t really get a chance to show how capable he was leading up to the draft coming back from the Blown out knee. I think he could be as good as Pat White, if not better. Does anyone think the Steelers would part with him for a late pick? Would that ever happen? I realize this is a far fetched scenario, but I’m still bitter about him not getting a look.

Now I'm doubting Singletary
He got rid of Martz, who’s been a more succesful OC than Raye, because he wants to play “smash-mouth” football but now he wants to sign Warner at $10+M a year? It’s starting to sound like he has no idea what he wants to do. Raye and Warner seem like a totally odd couple.
I would have been OK with either the Raye hiring or the signing of Warner but I’m less than luke warm about having both of them.

by Fooch on Mar 2, 2009 2:54 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
this is a win for both the 49ers and Kurt Warner. Singletary will look like a brilliant coach, with strict vision, but the ability to broaden that vision by “taking a look” at things.
Kurt Warner gets to call Arizona and tell them the 49ers have just offered $27 over 2 years, 13.5 guaranteed. Arizona says, 1. A: “Ok Kurt, we’ll give you $29, with $15 guaranteed.” or 1. B: “Good luck in San Francisco, Kurt.”
Either way, the Niners look smart for whatever the outcome. If they happen to land a 38 year old 2 Time MVP, so be it. If they don’t, kudos for exploring the option, kudos for driving up the price of a divisional rival. All it cost you was a dinner and private jet ride.
When we get Robert Gallery and Justin Fargas from Oakland, McCloughan will look shrewd. I think that’s the nod in this agreement. Ask me to elaborate that crazy thought, and I will.

I think...
… all the Cards in that situation would have to do is tell Warner they would match that $27M w/ $13.5M in guarantees and Warner would sign.

Gallery?
When are the 49ers gonna get Gallery? He’s signed through 2010.

Via Trade
I have this crazy conspiracy that the 49ers are doing this “favor” for Bartelstein (Warner’s Agent) in order to get something in return. Maybe Bartelstein has the inside scoop on the Raiders wanting to trade Gallery. Since the 49ers warmed to the idea of “entertaining” the Warners for a day, Bartelstein could warm the Raiders to trading Gallery across the bay.
Call me crazy, but I think if you sprinkle in a little Justin Fargas, its a full blown conspiracy. To make it even crazier, let’s toss Jonas Jennings in the deal.
Just keep this in mind: Al Davis has lost his mind. So while it may be a fantasy, I feel its suitable here.

I am curious about why we'd get rid of Martz and then get Warner
Sure seems like if we were interested in making a run at Warner, we would have held off on firing the guy until we saw how it played out.
Ah well. I’d take him.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
by chirop1 on Mar 2, 2009 3:19 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
This is why I’m afraid Singletary really has no vision, or at least doesn’t know what that vision is, for the Niners. He decides to go one direction with Raye but a signing of Warner would seem to point to an entirely different direction.
Next thing you know he’ll sign Jason Taylor and we’re back to the 3-4/4-3 hybrid.

Martz's offense doesn't work anymore
In fact, I recall Warner saying that when he first started playing for Martz that at the end of his seven-step drop receivers were open all over the place. But not at the end of his time with Martz. I don’t think Martz would be a selling point for Warner. And Singletary’s decision to get rid of Martz was the right decision, whether or not Warner signs with the team.
I think that a lot of sportswriters went overboard in presuming that because Singletary wants to be able to run that he would abandon the pass. I’m sure Singletary noticed in 2007 how opponents’ defenses crowded the line of scrimmage because they had no respect for the Niners’ passing game.
I have no idea how well the Niners’ offense will do next year, but I would bet that Sing would love to have an accurate passer with a quick release to run it.
by Bob On The Coast on Mar 2, 2009 7:31 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
That's BS
I can point to Martz’ days in Detroit, and even SF, the offenses were better after Martz showed up. But Martz really isn’t the issue here, it’s that Singletary wanted a smash-mouth team so why pay $15M for a QB who been airing it out the last two seasons? If Singletary was open to a passing oriented offense then Raye was probably the worst hire of the OC interviewee’s

Not exactly true
He’s had stints of stellar play and stints of pretty crappy play. He sucked pretty hard his last two seasons with the Rams. I’m afraid that his recent resurgence has a lot more to due with the system/offensive talent surrounding him in Arizona that actually elevating his play and unfortunately the Niners don’t have the talent or that kind of system.

by Josh G and the Shaun Hill band wagon on Mar 2, 2009 10:01 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this name.
As well as a few others: Kurt Warner instantly makes Josh Morgan, Jason Hill and Brandon Jones a lot better.
More importantly, all 3 of these guys suddenly have the potential to run the deep routes that neither Alex Smith or Shaun Hill are capable of throwing. Morgan is a guy who can go up for the ball, and both Jones and Hill are speed guys who will will have their strengths neutered by having Shaun Hill at QB.
Remember, a very large part of this “smash-mouth, hard-nosed running team” is setting up the play action with the deep ball. Warner may not throw the ball 500 times in a 2009 49ers uniform, but I have no doubt he’d put up impressive throwing stats nonetheless.

Warner = Boldin?
To be truthful, I have not read all 60 some-odd entries before mine, so if someone posed this idea; apologies. However, it seems fairly obvious that Boldin wants out of Arizona for a few reasons. One of the only things that would retain him as he has stated would be if Warner returns. The Cardinals I dont believe are complete idiots, but they’ve also proven to not be the most intelligent ownership/front office in football. So imagine signing warner for 2 years, Boldin demand a trade and we give up maybe a 2nd and 3rd round? I’m not sure if they’d budge for those exact offers, but anything short of the 1st round pick and one of our studs, I couldnt see that being out of the question. This is all hypothetical, but what do ya think?
