Golden Nuggets: Cutler in SF? Make it happen.

by Ninjames on Apr 1, 2009 4:00 AM PDT in Golden Nuggets Comment 11 comments

Morning everybody, James here with your daily edition of the Golden Nuggets. Its ironic that I opened with that considering I didn't even post them yesterday, so I'll go ahead and start off with "whoops." But really, my internet was down for some reason I don't quite understand. Either way, I'm back today (and stronger than ever!) Also, I contemplated doing some elaborate April Fools Day prank but I wasn't clever enough to think of one. (I've been telling friends that I got a girl other than my girlfriend pregnant, seems to be working well but you guys don't know me well enough to care!) So beyond all that, I've got a decent number of links for you today, so read on, enjoy, and have a happy fake holiday!

Be sure to head over to the official Jay Cutler Trading Block thread. Should be some good stuff in there. (NinersNation.com)

So here's more on the stadium business in Santa Clara. (SFGate.com)

So if we go OT with the 10th pick.. which one will it be? (SFGate.com)

Do we have the goods to acquire Cutler from the Broncos? I'm not convinced, but hey, go for it Niners. (PressDemocrat.com)

So Sanchez with the tenth overall pick? No, I think not. I really hope not, that is. (PressDemocrat.com)

OT Marvel Smith isn't afraid to compete for a starting job. This is cool, I guess? (PressDemocrat.com)

Is Isaac Bruce going to retire? I'm not sure how I feel about this. Either way, if he does, I'd like to see more of Jason Hill, he played well last season and seems to have a lot of drive and potential. I like him over Josh Morgan. (MVN.com)

Here's a conference call with Marvel Smith. (49ers.com)

The Rams signed TE Billy Bajema. I'm not too bothered by his loss. (ProFootballWeekly.com)

Cutler

Here we go again. I guess the 49ers have some stuff that may interest the Broncos, but I just don’t see it happening.

What I DO see happening is that if Cutler ends up somewhere that isn’t SF, fans will flat out say the 49ers didn’t try to get Cutler or that they were cheap. I just don’t see how this situation could end up good.

I also prefer Hill to Morgan

I’m worried about Morgan durability

Makes little sense.

Hill’s had nagging injuries at some point in every season he’s been with the team, so I don’t see how his durability can’t worry you as much (if not more) than Morgan’s. Maybe my memory is just off?

the comments we're unrelated

I don’t prefer Hill because of his durability, I just think he’s actually got a bigger upside. I’m a little afraid that Morgan will turn out somewhat like Brandon Lloyd (who I loved until he turned into a little punk) who makes big flashy plays and then disappears at times. As far a durability goes I’m a little afraid his frame is too slender for the NFL and he’ll continue to get nicks and dings (also, besides the staph infection, didn’t he also tear his groin? those can often take months and months to heal and then still nag at you, I know he said he still wasn’t at 100% recently).

I like Hill’s consistency, especially on third downs and one the sidelines and if his durability improves I think he actually has a better chance at being a good number 2 receiver.

Hope I’m wrong and that both turn out hall-of-famers…

Morgan got a staph infection

that’s not really your normal injury. I think his durability will be fine.

It would be a great move

If the niners go for jay cutler we will become instant contenders to win the afc west. We were only 2 wins away last year and the reason being we had no solid QB at the helm. With cutler we will be instant contenders I seriously hope they do all they can to get him
