Golden Nuggets: Well that was unexpected.

Morning everyone. Let me start off by thanking whichever one of you it was that sent that lovely piece of hatemail yesterday concerning David Carr. I understand that you love Carr very much and let me explain something. Carr is a 49er and I support him now. I'm for Carr. I like the guy. But Carr starting means that our maybe-promising young quarterback in Alex Smith has to falter yet again. Let me hope just for once that Alex Smith won't be a horrible quarterback this coming season? That being said, there was some disturbing news Maiocco dropped on his Twitter concerning Scott McCloughan and a possible resignation, and the resulting thread on it was pretty... out there, I'll say that much. Still, I'll find whatever I can about this and post up the link. Enjoy, folks.

Here's the catalyst article for the McCloughan stuff. Sources told the Press Democrat that 49ers GM Scott McCloughan is considering stepping down as the teams general manager. Huh.. I just don't know what to think right now, if the thread we had was anything though, it could have ranged from a variety of circumstances...(PressDemocrat.com)

McCloughan's agent is saying that he (Scott) wouldn't voluntarily step down. This doesn't eliminate the fact that something is going on, just that if McCloughan were to not be a part of the team... he'd have to be forced out. (SacBee.com)

Star-divide

The team signed CB Karl Paymah to a one year contract. (NFL.com)

LB Patrick Willis recently underwent surgery on his knee, but it seems to be a minor affair. No worries, folks. (Yahoo.com)

Paymah left the Vikings because he wanted the weather of the west coast. That's odd, the weathers been [site decorum] lately. (SacBee.com)

Here's the audio from the conference call with Paymah. It plays automatically, you've been warned. (49ers.com)

Maiocco has a mid-free agency mock draft, and I'm scratching my head on most of it. A couple weeks ago, Barrows put out a pretty... weak mock draft, and a bit prior, Maiocco had his first, and it too wasn't very good. What is good and not good is subjective, of course, I just feel like he has to have something in there that's "different" just so he can get more comments and what not. I don't know, I respect Maiocco a lot but that's just the vibe I'm getting from certain things. I just don't like his mock draft, at all. (PressDemocrat.com)

Huh.. this writer could learn a thing or two about his wordage and sentence structure, but it's an interesting piece on Glen Coffee nonetheless. (Scout.com)

So are the 49ers facing another quarterback controversy? (Scout.com)

After Joe Haden's pro day, he probably won't be around when the 49ers pick. (SacBee.com)

Oh come on!

I scheduled this at 2:58 AM (cutting it kind of close admittedly) for 3:00 AM! I did it on time, but it posted them a minute late! Lies and slandar, hellfire n’ vinegar, SBNation!

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

Also I'm exhausted.

Goodnight folks.

Ended up sleeping at 5 AM.

Woke up at 6:30. So hour and a half.

Niners will now pick a QB in 1st round?

I suspect York has decided Smith isn’t the future, and this must be the conflict causing McCoughlan to threaten to quit.

I'm think'n

a whole lotta speculation is about too cast us on a day in which purgatory fills the air !!!! what the heeeellll is going on here ………….

I still don't think the niners will go

after clausen if they did it would be another black eye ( get it black eye or am i reaching ) that our franchise will have 2 deal with .Having 3 first round QB on the roster and none of them can play will just set us back another 5 years,.

I highly doubt they will

And I would be very skeptical that this whole issue has anything to do with a dispute about taking a QB early in the draft. I don’t think any of the powers that be would be so foolishly adamant about picking up a 2nd project to go with the one we already have and the two former #1’s that might be finally coming into their own. That would be so counter productive and a waste of time and money at this point.

If this was in the field of politics

it would fall into the “dead hooker/live boy” department.

It might be a power struggle. It might be something between him and York. I’m guessing it has little to do with onfield issues, because this is not the time of year to get rid of a GM. January is.

We shall see, though.
