Alex Smith, Steve Young Provide Talking Points On 49ers Offense
Alex Smith chatted with the media before practice yesterday and a good chunk of the discussion centered around some of the issues with the offense. The two most notable points were the red zone struggles and the incomplete passes that sailed on passes down the sideline. As he pointed out, the team...
Joe Montana's and Steve Young's Thoughts on Current Quarterback Alex Smith
So, the debate goes on and will continue to throughout the season. I am sure of that. And Alex Smith's future is about as predictable as flipping a coin at this point. Which is it going to be? Heads? Or will Alex Smith finally come crashing down on his tail this season? Will he get as many chances...
Pro Football Talk, 49ers Worst Moments: I Call Shenanigans
The folks over at Pro Football Talk have spent a chunk of the lockout putting together a list of the worst "moments" for each franchise since the 1987 NFL work stoppage. The 49ers got the PFT treatment today and it appears that PFT's definition of a "moment" is different than my definition of a...
Marty Mornhinweg Thinks Michael Vick Could Be Better Than Steve Young
No, Marty Mornhinweg's calender isn't three months behind, so no he is not, in fact, under the impression that it is April 1st and therefore has to say something completely insane. No, Mornhinweg is perfectly capable of making insanely idiotic or downright confusing (they generally go hand-in-hand,...
1999 San Francisco 49ers: Football Outsiders Twists The knife
The folks at Football Outsiders put together articles for ESPN from time to time and they decided to kick 49ers fans (and other fans) in the junk with a look at the ten most disappointing NFL teams of the past 25 years. As they describe it, this list looks at teams that came into a season with high...
Jay Cutler only needs offensive stability to reach the next level
Quick... off the top of your head, name the best quarterbacks in the NFL today? If you're like me the top two are easily Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Then there'll be a handful of players in the next group: Drew Brees for sure, maybe Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, and some might put Aaron...
NFL Network Top 100 Players: 49ers Domination
In late September, the NFL Network announced plans to unveil their Top 100 NFL players of all time. They released their first fifty players and the only 49ers representative was Steve Young, ranked #81. I think that ranking is a bit low, and fans seemed to agree as they ranked Steve Young #13. I...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2002
In this week's installment of the Year-by-Year, we're taking on 2002. 2001 had been a breakthrough year for the rebuilding 49ers, and 2002 was set up to be a banner year for a franchise rediscovering its identity. However, any success the team seemed to come by was marred in controversy. Whether...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2001
I want to reintroduce everybody to the Year-by-Year feature on the website. This is my second comeback in the last month or so, and this one should be for good. I have been going through every 49ers season since the team's inception in 1946 and writing full summaries of some of the most important...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2000
After a relatively long hiatus, the Year-by-Feature is back with a vengeance. It has been a while since I've been able to give you one of these and it might be a few more weeks before I can give you another, but I wanted to strike while I had a little free time from the holiday season and my own...
