Good morning everyone. Things are going pretty dang slow at this stage of the offseason and it's only going to get worse from here. We have a lot of head coach Chip Kelly talking and a lot of general manager Trent Baalke talking, but obviously there isn't much news with San Francisco 49ers players to really talk about. You will definitely see some repeat links in the Golden Nuggets over the course of the offseason -- this is by design.
It doesn't help that I don't think Kelly or Baalke are saying anything particularly interesting, though Kelly is at least showing some humor and personality in his recent statements. I'm wondering what his "hook" will be with us here at Niners Nation. Many here loved how Jim Harbaugh obviously did not like doing a ton of media stuff but his flowery language really captivated us. Jim Tomsula was a sad, boring mess in press conferences and this was a different captivation. Kelly may be funny. That'd be nice!
