I think Warner and his agent were making the niners a player, only to put the fire to Arizona to get the kind of of deal Warner wants. Arizona called Warner’s bluff and let him talk to SF, because they still new they were going to get Warner back. What Arizona and Warner didn’t anticipate was Coach Sing being so darn convincing. I believe Coach Sing believes that this team is ready to be a real Super Bowl threat. I know that sounds crazy, but have you heard the way Coach sing talks about this team. And if you look back last season we were only a couple of decisions away from making the playoffs i.e.. Defense moving to a base 3-4 and changing QB’s. Coach Sing wants to K.I.S.S. and play with passion, the 2 things Nolan couldn’t do or didn’t want to do. Coach Sing may not be an x’s and o’s guy but he can sure motivate and make people believe. I know I am drinking the cool aid. And I think that’s why Warner wants to make this decision now rather then later. The longer this drags out the more appealing the Niners become, and that is something that Warner and his family didn’t anticipate.

But I do think that it would certainly make things more entertaining, especially the anticipation leading up to the season. When was the last time 49er fans had something to be genuinely excited about?

It’s done.

woohooo now we can bury this right next to the cutler talk which is buried right next to the vick talk, lets move on……….

Get it done, Condon. Now.

The highest income tax rate in Arizona (at least in 2008) was 4.54, whereas in California, we just raised it to more than twice that.

Plus, it probably costs a lot more to live in the Bay Area than in the Phoenix area. These are huge considerations.

I didn’t expect it to happen. It didn’t. There was some risk to hooking your fate with a 38 year-old quarterback, albeit one with an accurate arm and a quick release. It would have been interesting if he had signed, it was interesting watching the kabuki dance over the last week.

I think the Niners will be good this year anyway, good enough to battle for the division. They still need a right tackle, another running back to pair with Gore, and a pass rusher. Maybe some of that money that Warner would have gotten will go towards filling some holes.

As an aside, I’m not sure why some people are so panicky and sure that the sky is going to fall on Ninerland, and why, if it bothers them so much, they don’t do something else like hiking or surfing or squaredancing. Or drinking. I’m not saying love it or leave it, I sure have had my complaints with the coaching and management over the years, but at a certain point some posters’ desperation is embarrassing. Back off the ledge.

Wow.. That is an instant cap hit for this season. It’s going to hurt chances of Bolden getting the contract he wants (or at least the contract that would bring him back to the cards). To me, this hurts their chances for next season, for sure. They’re just making that Losers of the Super Bowl curse that much more likely to take affect.

Not saying Shaun Hill is a stalwart but he got the job done as opposed to JT O’Fumblin.

Consider that the offensive coordinator is 158 years old and has never been a guy who goes all Andy Reid on the opposing team. They plan to be running the ball more often. Running the ball means more possession and not a quick fire offense like the Cardinals.

To sign Warner is putting him in a completely different offense and no luxury of a Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Torry Holt, you get the picture. The 49ers gave up the most sacks in the league last year and would have to rebuild the offensive line so that Warner isn’t eaten alive……‘cause he ain’t mobile.

To sign Warner means the Niners need a different offense that is reliant on passing and a guy like Fitzgerald.

But now that the Cards got him I’m scared.
