Hey there, everyone. Ninjames here, getting your Nuggets a bit earlier than usual but I'll try and not miss anything of importance. I'm just in a slight hurry at the moment, got some things to take care of before I head to bed. Not a whole lot going on in 49erland, but at least something happened yesterday. The 49ers signed CB Will James. I like the signing, and I'll talk about it a bit later when I get to the link but I definitely wanted to say that I think Brown can be a starting CB in this league. I definitely want to see what (if anything) James can do but you know, I have been and will continue to be a strong supporter of Brown and what I believe he can do as the CB of this team. That being said, I'll just get to your links.
As stated, the 49ers signed CB Will James for one year. I think he'll see the field, last season he played really well, the best of his career thus far. (CSNBayArea.com)

Check out this article, lol
http://www.profootballweekly.com/2010/05/06/willis-unlikely-to-become-face-of-franchise
According to this dude, Shawnte Spencer has a better chance of being the face of the franchise?!
I don’t think that at all… and of course this is all speculation on your behalf

Didn't think it was bad...
It’s true that Willis won’t be the face of the franchise in the way that Lewis is in Baltimore. Amongst average fans, they might not know who he is in the way that Lewis stands out and is that type of figure. However, we all know him and will continue to believe that he’s the best player on the team and holds it down.

Murder
Maybe if P Willie stabbed a couple guys to death then he’d get the same recognition lol!
Before spouting off like that
you might want to check into the facts.
The DA dropped all charges against Lewis. The two men whom he charged with the murder were both acquitted by a jury. There’s no evidence from any of the witnesses that Lewis was anything other than a peacemaker at that brawl.
I was right, you were wrong.
Wait a second. I really don’t want to get into Ray Lewis’s history but I remember I big part of that trial was Ray Lewis refusing to give any details about what he saw at the scene.
Yes
and he was charged with obstruction and pled out of it in return for testifying against the other two guys who were later acquitted.
I was right, you were wrong.
So he was a snitch then
That’s even worse than a murderer. Ray Lewis just lost a fan
Snitches get stitches
Gimme 1 round!

Lewis
From all the information it sounds like he didn’t stab anybody, but he knew what happened. Obviously it’s all kind of nebulous, but the general consensus is that he knows what happened that night.

would Willis ever be involved in something like this?
I think not. My point was intended to show that the “face of the franchise” doesn’t have to be a Diva or a drama filled media target, in any respect. That for some organizations who have some respect for themselves, a guy like Willis is exactly what we want.

I thought it was a fair article
Lets face it, Willis will never be the sort of charismatic figure that Lewis is. It just isn’t his nature. Is that a bad thing? No. He does things his way, Lewis another way. I think the article was just pointing out those differences (and the differences in the culture of the teams) in response to people’s comparisons of the two.
and by charismatic you mean dealing kilos of cocaine?
I guess I just don’t get that.
However, I was pretty sure the message from the front office\HCoach was “this is the kind of guy we want on our team, this is the kind of guy we want here, and for all the players to be like” type of statements.
So maybe he wont be Ray Lewis like…. Duh he never was. Maybe we’d prefer to have a classier approach to picking the face of our franchise. We already have one Vernon.

drug dealing?
You’re thinking of Jamal Lewis the running back.

no
I just assumed the knifing was drug related

I don't think he meant that as a knock on Willis
Just look at what Lewis does before the game with his ritual and getting the team psyched up. He’s a more vocal leader for the team and so he’s recognized by the media and fans more. Willis leads through his play and actions which doesn’t garner as much attention.
Niners fans will consider Willis the face of the franchise until he signs a contract elsewhere, but the general public won’t know him if they sat next to him in McDonalds.
What I found most amazing about the Harris/Bly link
Is how many people out there that call themselves fans are just so negative about even the smallest moves this organization makes! They make one move that doesn’t necessarily rock the football world and they think the team is screwed. I’m just really thankful the powers that be have their jobs and they’re not just given to some schmo off the street who thinks he knows what he’s talking about. I can’t believe someone even has the nerve to give him/herself “FireSingletary” as a user ID. The man has a better coaching record than anyone since 2002 and you want to have him fired?? The crack that person is on must not be all that good quality!
Ok I know my nose is going to stink after saying this, but this is why I love this blog. Yeah there are naysayers from time to time, but most of us here are relatively positive and no matter what the team does we try to support it as much as possible. We are the true fans. Niners Nation rules!!
Good links James!
101 days to go. . .

I like Sando’s stuff, but a good chunk of the commenters over at ESPN.com (and a lot of sites) are complete psychopaths. I’d love to see FireSingletary wander over here.

Love the Plummer comments about willis
and thought it was very interesting how he compared Jerry and Deion to each other in terms of work ethic.
I was right, you were wrong.
