On a side note, if Crabs doesn't feel the pressure this year, Harbaugh needs to go Singletary on him.
Wore the exact same thing in Stanford as well

When Harbaugh was at the Indiana/Kentucky game during the NCAA tournament it looked weird to see him in a t-shirt with no hat.

Williams isnt eligible for PS. He started too many games. Moss will start opposite of Crabtree, as Manningham is not a starting caliber wideout. There is also talk of Crabs playing in the slot.

[h1]49ers fifth-round pick Darius Fleming suffers torn ACL[/h1]

Darius Fleming, a linebacker from Notre Dame chosen by the 49ers in the fifth round of the draft, will not play his rookie season.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Fleming tore his ACL during his first rookie minicamp practice.
There was no contact in the drill when Fleming went down, but he bent his knee awkwardly and couldn’t continue. Initial reports said Fleming suffered a hamstring injury, but an MRI confirmed that it’s actually a torn ACL, which almost certainly means Fleming won’t play until 2013.
Fleming signed his four-year, $2.264 million contract the day before the injury.

I wouldn't be surprised if Moss is the #2 WR to open the season but I just don't see it right now. Plz explain how Manningham is not a "starting caliber WR"? I know he's not a #1, but he's perfectly fine as a #2.
Unless coach Harbaugh has hinted at Moss being the #2, I still think its going to be #1 Crabtree, #2 Manningham, #3 Moss, #4 Jenkins, #5 Ginn Jr.
Congrats to Andy Lee. I'm happy that he'll be a 49er for the rest of his career.

Whats the point of putting a number on it when Manningham and Moss are both best on the outside, and Jenkins and Crabtree are best in the slot?Originally Posted by JordanXI45

Yep, I agree. None of the position depth numbers really matter with a coach like Harbaugh anyways.
Manningham+Moss working the outside & Crabs+Jenkins working the inside.

SMH. Alex Smith talking s*** about other quarterbacks now? One average season out of seven, and you start to run your mouth? Not a good look. Especially considering if we had Cam instead of Alex last year, we win the Superbowl.
Ignoring the who he is and the QB bashing ( overblown already) and he is right. Keep the perspective that he was asked to be a game manager and Gore, and Hunter had a ton of 2nd half carries last year. Winning and clock management > than yards, and when the NFL gets back to understanding that its going to be a more dynamic league.

I seem to be disagreeing with you a lot today.
As far as Cam Newton goes, yes, he is correct. But as far as the NFL in general, no he is not correct. If he was describing the NFL of yesteryear, sure. But not now. This is a passing league now. Look at the 2011 passing leaders:
Drew Brees
Tom Brady
Matt Stafford
Aaron Rodgers
Eli Manning
These guys certainly werent playing from behind or playing catchup. They were dominating the league and were the reason their respective teams were good.

When you have an elite passer you run as many plays as you can, when you dont you run the football as often as you can.
None of those teams had a top 15 back on the team either.....
Know your personel, and Gore is one of the best at pounding away yards.

Look, I dont disagree with you that we were playing ball control offense for most of the season. I dont disagree that Gore is great at running clock and pounding away yards as you put it. But Alex left more plays on the field than any QB I have ever seen in 2011. His 3rd down conversion % was horrendous. Alex's yards would have gone up exponentially if he could convert more 3rd downs and limiting the 3 and outs.
I totally agree, that we should play to our strengths and clearly thats not Alex. But that is a problem. I just dont see the need to call out another team and QB, unprovoked. Seems like he is salty and making excuses for himself IMO.

F this guy. Out of all people, this impotent douche should be the last person to talk about yards. He wishes he was even good enough to hold Cam's jock strap.

Manningham cant beat press coverage to save his life and I cant find the article but he even stated he is best in the slot.

Sorry to burst your bubble but all those guys had to throw and throw often b\c one of two things were lacking from their team. 1. They didnt have a running game to sustain leads that they got in the first place so it inflated their stats. 2. They didnt have a defense to hold off the other team from scoring so they had to pass heavy in order to keep the lead, which inflated their stats. 3 out of those 5 with 5,000 yards when this has only happened twice prior in NFL history.Originally Posted by dland24

Then say that dont talk about how the top 5 passing QB's went ham, and their offenses one sided splits. Say he might be right but his performance overall wasn't good enough to go at QB's.
But we didnt disagree for the second time today we still only got the one with Rose's D.

Odds & Ends
•The quarterbacks also rotated throughout the team drills. Alex Smith always was the first quarterback to throw, but Colin Kaepernick, Josh Johnson and Tolzien all had chances to throw behind the No. 1 offensive line.
•With Ted Ginn out with an undisclosed injury, kick returns fell to, in order, Kyle Williams, Kendall Hunter, Chris Culliver and Cox
•Undrafted free agent Michael Thomas got his hand on two passes during 7-on-7 drills and intercepted one of them. Thomas (5-9, 185 pounds) was playing safety in those drills but also took some snaps during team drills at cornerback.
•A.J. Jenkins had a mixed practice, including a dropped end-around attempt.
•Michael Crabtree looked smooth and fluid. He caught the longest pass of the afternoon from Kaepernick over undrafted rookie Anthony Mosely. Crabtree later caught a pass on an intermediate crossing route from Alex Smith.
•Keeping in mind that it's only May, Randy Moss has the look of a No. 1 receiver. He's a big target and was the most popular one for the quarterbacks on Wednesday.
•Draft pick Cam Johnson was lining up at ROLB with t
