Golden Nuggets: Thoughts for the downtime?

by David Fucillo on Jun 15, 2009 3:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

We have yet another day of next to nothing in terms of links. I decided to mix in some additional non-49ers links that you might find interesting...or maybe not. Things will likely pick up over the next couple of days with the last bit of OTAs. Beyond that we'll try and come up with some other random football related news to keep you entertained.

Maiocco: A look at the 49ers receivers
Maiocco has repeatedly state that this group of wide receivers is the "deepest" the 49ers have ever been at wideout. Not the best group of receivers, but the deepest. Certainly an interesting thought.

Sporting News: 49ers this year's Cardinals?
Whether you believe in this or not, I'd imagine we'll hear this comparison quite a bit this offseason. It's really an easy column to pump out in the offseason.

LA Times: Profootballtalk.com and NBC to form partnership
Florio is a sort of love/hate kind of guy. Just within our network of football sites you'll hear an assortment of opinions all along the spectrum.

NFL Live Chat - Mike Martz
Martz had plenty to say about everything. I'm certainly curious to see if he lands another job anytime soon.

BostonHerald.com: Patriots can be king of all eras
Interesting little piece about the Patriots and their claim as team of the 2000s.

Fantasy article

The SB Nation fantasy blog did a brief post on the 49ers QB situation, linking to our Alex Smith post from yesterday.

Wow... someone didn't do their homework

Over at Niners Nation, they’re starting to come to the realization that (holy %^&!), their starting QB this season is going to be Shaun Hill

Really? A good number of us here are not only happy to see Hill have a decent shot at starting, but have been calling for it for some time now…

Also

man do Pats fans annoy me. Maybe when I was 12, I called the Niners the best team of all time. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized there have been many great teams/dynasties throughout the history of the NFL, and the Niners just happen to have been one of those for a nice stretch of time. But to argue best ever? That’s just ignoring the storied histories of a number of great franchises.

comparisons

And you really can’t compare dynasties pre and post salary cap at this point. The Patriots of this decade are probably the team of the decade, but you can’t compare them to the 49ers of the 80s or Steelers of the 70s…

I think you can..

They went 11-5 last season, without Tom Brady. Think about it. They missed the playoffs with that 11-5 record. In eight seasons under Belichick, they have gone to the post season 6 times, and won 3 titles, with the Salary Cap. They are deep in talent, have a shrewd FO that can run a draft like no other, and they aren’t done yet.

BTW, don’t forget the Cowboy’s of the 90’s when it comes to Dynasty’s.

Well, we're waiting....
