So The 49ers Are Giddy.. Are You?

but i’m hella juiced that the season is goin to start. smiths’ play & injuries(hopefully none serious, knock on wood) will determine how long i stay juiced about the season. GO NINERS!!! in 2010(hopefully a SB win & beyond, again knocking on wood)

We have very good reason to be “giddy” or excited, but I am nervous because there is always the possibility of a letdown

… only thing that sucks is that I am moving to the LA area (Fullerton specifically) and not sure where I can catch the games around. I have heard of the San Francisco Saloon, but that is a little bit out of the way.

I am definitely excited for this season to start. I am having hopes like back in the days during the dynasty years. Well maybe not that high hopes, but we are going in that direction I feel.

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(and yes, it’s in all caps because I’m that excited!)

I cant wait! its not easy for me to see niners games living in Indiana but Im going to the Preseason Game against the colts Next Month!!

I am fired up for the start of camp, reading everything I can get my hands on, and starting to like our chances… but I can’t get rid of the nagging concerns that the organization is getting it wrong.

I look at Anthony Davis and I think, wow, we sure paid a lot for this guy. We could’ve had Dez Bryant- who paired with Crabtree, would’ve made our receiving corps absolutely devastating for years to come- plus the two third round picks Philadelphia traded Denver for our original spot and the fourth rounder we used to get Denver’s pick, all in exchange for Davis. To plug the hole in our line otherwise known as Adam Snyder we could’ve used some of the three additional mid-rounders to either trade back up into the second round for Charles Brown or traded for a veteran tackle like Jammal Brown while spending a pick on a project with a high ceiling like Bruce Campbell, all with picks to spare. In other words, we’re talking Dez Bryant, Jammal Brown & Bruce Campbell plus a fourth rounder (Owusu-Ansah?) for Anthony Davis. Ouch.

Then I look at our receiver situation and I think, we might have to cut Ziegler or Hill, both of whom I don’t think have had a proper chance to beat out Morgan and who I think may have more upside than Morgan, all because we signed Ginn who probably doesn’t fix the punt return problem. And with the pick we gave up to get Ginn, we could’ve had Cam Thomas, chosen directly after our 5th round pick, who many people think will be a good nose tackle in this league. Meanwhile Franklin is unsigned and, in any case, will tis season be on the wrong side of 30.

Saying all that, there is a logic to what the front office are doing, and certainly to having a very young very talented o-line whose styles are complimentary- i.e. all big time power guys blowing people off the line- which can’t be expected to come cheaply from a draft pick perspective. The niners will have this if these guys are who we think they are. And the Sing/Balke akis does seem to have their own style and philosophy, with the team developing its own personality, as all good teams do (and which is critical for player development, something that separates the wheat from the chaff in this league).

But I’m finding it hard to dare to dream here. Can’t summon the courage yet. Hopefully some good news from camp/preseason will buck me up.
