Golden Nuggets: Wondering if I missed a good thread...

Good news, everyone! I'm no longer sick, or at least, I'm to the point where I know when I wake up tomorrow I'll be feeling 100%, and I'm not going to knock on wood to reinforce such a notion. But anyway, to 49ers related stuff! I heard David Carr had a press conference with the media (seriously? Man I bet the thread was awesome) but I didn't get a chance to watch it or even read up on it, regardless of the fantastic coverage I'm sure we brought you here at Niners Nation because, well.. I've been sick, and when I get sick I'm completely dead to the world. The Nuggets the past three days has been probably all the interaction I've had with anything. Still, I should have plenty of links for you today, so I'll just get to them and stop updating you on my health.

Carr is relishing his chance with the 49ers. Make the best of it, Carr, but you won't ever be a starter with the 49ers. (SacBee.com)

He (Carr) definitely knows what he wants. (SFGate.com)

Carr also apparently admired the 49ers from afar. I doubt it. (49ers.com)

The Panthers nabbed CB Marcus Hudson for a one year deal. I won't miss the guy really, but he was a good player. Just not space anymore on the roster, I suppose. (SacBee.com)

Really going to miss Shaun Hill more than I thought I would. I don't know, he was a good guy and a good player. Here's a final interview. (PressDemocrat.com)

Singletary will not be attending Pacman Jones' workout. I hope the team does their due diligence regardless. (SacBee.com)

um

why all the hostility towards carr? we didn’t waste our #1 pick on him so he could fail us day in and day out.

Negativity is a disease of the impatient.

That pick cannot be regarded as wasted yet!
Maybe eventually, but not now. Positive vibes will help us all.

There is no hostility.

And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Regarding the comment,

“Make the best of it, Carr, but you won’t ever be a starter with the 49ers.”

Remember,
Carr is only one injury causing play away from being the starter!
Why else even have a backup?

by CorneliusJ on Mar 16, 2010 6:57 AM PDT reply actions  

Wow, I’ve never seen so much frustration towards a backup QB!

by Rod Blogojevich on Mar 16, 2010 7:26 AM PDT via mobile reply actions  

its because he bumped shaun hill. Even if Hill wasn’t a great QB he was a good guy and a team player. Remember, he also won us some games when it didn’t seem like anyone could.

It has nothing to do with Hill.

It has nothing to do with disliking Carr. It has to do with wanting to have faith in Alex Smith and this team to succeed in the upcoming season. If David Carr starts that means we had to sit through some bad games and some bad times and potentially lose the NFC West again. Forgive me for having confidence in this team for once. Alex Smith has improved every year he was the starter. There is absolutely NO FRUSTRATION towards David Carr.

WOW

Drew from Seattle writes: Can you give me any possible or logical reasoning for thinking either Alex Smith or David Carr could be successful? There is a reason Carr is still trying to find a team to start for — he is no good. Smith has already proven he doesn’t have the skills to be a reliable starter.

Not only are they wasting time, there is nothing to look foward to in the future because they continue to try and band-aid the situation and now it’s just getting worse. You could argue that Alex Smith is a worse pick than Ryan Leaf was given that they have refused to cut ties and move on. He is still a thorn in the offense five years later.

really does not like Alex Smith. I take it he doesn’t really like the 49ers either.

Sando

started as a beat writer for the Seahawks and yes he does come off a bit biased at times.

by tanos135 on Mar 16, 2010 11:06 AM PDT up reply actions  

This entire comment...

was by a guy writing in to Sando. None of that is Sando’s opinion. Actually, if you read on, he gives Smith a nice vote of confidence. Now this “Drew from Seattle” is an idiot and bitter because the sleez-hawks aren’t any good and have no hope for a while.

Can anyone remind me when Seattle drafted a quarterback who was really good. Doubt they ever have.

I'm all with giving people second chances grew up in

a rough art of sanfrancisco (hunters point ) so i get that don’t condone it but accept it but i just don’t know if this dude gets it.I can tell even though its real early but i can tell vick is really trying 2 change but this dude has skated on alot of BS and when you do you don’t really respect that climb back up.now others will argue that he was suspended 4 a year ,yea thats true but he was’nt imprisoned at any time maybe other than a night .So if he has changed more power 2 him i just doubt it i think him and his agent said take a year off they start bringing up that old case up in vegas so he sat down a year in other words ‘’ he was 2 hot ’’ and last talent wise he has’nt showed me shhhh while he was in dallas so we will see but i stand by my oinion!!

You guys are misunderstanding me with Carr.

Two things. 1. I want to be confident in our starters. 2. I’m sick of all the news and articles being about a backup QB, picture being a Lions fan right now and only hearing about Shaun Hill, you know?

He’s a 49er, and if he starts, he will have my support if he makes the best of it. I don’t want the team to suddenly do bad with someone else starting.

And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

James ...

… why are you hating on David Carr? You hate David Carr, and I guess I would just like to ask why. Why you hate David Carr, so much?

Because he's a ninny, damn.

You got me, London. :[

Why did they let Hill go again?

“Despite playing with a badly mangled index finger on his throwing hand, Hill set an NFL record when he completed 22 of 27 passes after entering a game for injured Trent Dilfer. His 81.5 completion percentage in that Dec. 9 game against, coincidentally, the Vikings is the highest in NFL history for a quarterback attempting his first regular-season pass attempts.”

haha sorry, I have separation anxiety, I just had to throw this out there. :)

I think Pacman is seeing blue ghosts

Nevermind, haha. It’s been a while since I played that game. I forgot the blue ghost are the ones that can be eaten. His career is about to be a ghost either way though. Personally, I dont think he makes it an entire season even if he does get signed by someone
