I beat you both

But hey whose counting.

FanShot vs. FanPost

Putting it in the FanShot works, but for something like this, either one could work. When you’re talking about a player signing, I think it’s on the fine line where it would be ok to be a FanPost OR a FanShot. Now if you were just posting about JT O’Sullivan going to the Bengals, then it would definitely just be a FanShot.

It’s not entirely clear sometimes, but does that make sense?

makes sense to me, I totally agree

dude, dont sweat it

I actually was on academic AND disciplinary probation my freshman year…then left for 5 to join the military, and just came back a year and a half ago. The dorms did me in, I wasnt even close to self-motivated enough then to make myself go to class regularly or turn down a weds. night party. You probably feel like youve dug yourself a huge hole, you’d be amazed how quickly your GPA can rebound and how easy most classes can be once you get the hang of it. Dont be afraid to take advantage of your TA’s and academic advisors though, if you need info or advice feel free to hit me up too-srmccall@ucdavis.edu. I’m actually having a kinda rough quarter too, and I got some serious catch-up reading to do over the next couple weeks. Good luck with finals, bro.

it took me a minute to figure that one out….I like it though, I’ll never see that guy UPS guy the same way again.

Eh.. Boring...

49ers need a pass rush.
Either someone who can get some sacks, or a big nose tackle that can help create some sacks.
Not necessarily a bad signing, but they’re seemingly not making any improvements.
Their signings have all been lame so far.

I wish they had someone who knew what they were doing in charge of free agent signings.

Why would anyone pay money to J.T. O’Sullivan when QBs like Byron Leftwich and Kyle Boller are just sitting there?

JAI HO!

by Rishi on Mar 6, 2009 11:33 AM PST reply actions  

I think it's about self perception and timing.

Teams right now are just trying to fill out their rosters for upcoming minicamp before and after the draft. No one envisions O’Sullivan, including himself, as a starter right now, especially if Mike Martz isn’t around. So he’s probably the most willing of those three to sign a small contract as Palmer’s backup.

Leftwich and Boller, or at least their agents, may still be marketing themselves as potential starters and may want to be paid as such. No team is going to take that kind of chance on those two, not yet at least. They’re gambling that some team will get desperate and sign them. Teams are gambling that they will wait so long that their demands will finally fall.

by sfgfan on Mar 6, 2009 11:36 AM PST up reply actions  

I dunno, if their agents are royally screwing them over then.

Totally get what you’re saying though. I just find it odd that O’Sullivan and Orlovsky can get contracts, while better QBs cannot

JAI HO!

by Rishi on Mar 6, 2009 12:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Screwed

As long as they keep thinking they’re starters (if that is indeed what’s going on) they’re going to be screwing themselves. While either MAY be a starter in the near future, at some point you kind of have to bite and just take a one year deal, hoping that one year will provide you an opportunity to showcase yourself again.

by sfgfan on Mar 6, 2009 12:04 PM PST up reply actions  

The fun part is that Leftwich did showcase himself and he’s still stuck without a deal.

JAI HO!

by Rishi on Mar 6, 2009 12:05 PM PST up reply actions  

JTO has experience in Zampese's offense

Zampese runs a Martz-esque offense so JTO’s experience under Martz is probably the big reason.

Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.
