SF 49ers lose another player to early retirement

[Deus Irae]

The starting OL takes a hit:

Anthony Davis, a 25-year-old offensive tackle who was the 11th overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft, said in a statement that he is retiring from football.

“After a few years of thought, I’ve decided it will be best for me to take a year or so away from the NFL. This will be a time for me to allow my Brain and Body a chance to heal. I know many won’t understand my decision, that’s ok,” Davis said. “I hope you too have the courage to live your life how you planned it when day dreaming to yourself growing up. Your Life is Your dream and you have the power to control that dream. Im simply doing what’s best for my body as well as my mental health at this time in my life.”

I wonder if Harbaugh had stayed if any of these players would have retired.

Has any team had a worse offseason in recent memory than the 49ers with all of these retirements?

Almost eerie how many 49ers have retired at such a young age. That's number 3, when normally you rarely see it.

 

[Deus Irae]

I wonder if SF will end up at the very bottom of the division this season.

 

[TBR]

Seems like he left the possibility out there that he might come back

 

[ashley]

I see a probable last place coming, especially in that division, Harbough got out just in time

I wonder what the group think in that locker room was, it seems like it is reaching critical mass there.

The 49ers may honestly be drafting top 3 next year.

I can think of one, at least in a narrowly-defined aspect

After careful consideration, Ommissioner Goodell has realized that the San Francisco 49ers have indeed managed to have a worse offseason than the New England Patriots. To compensate, Goodell has transferred New England's 1st round pick that was taken to the 49ers, and also is immediately cutting New England's salary cap by 50%. In a statement, Goodell said "In the NFL, we pride ourselves on parity. Every team should have a chance to win the Super Bowl every year, but more importantly, the New England Patriots should not have a chance to win the Super Bowl when they just won one by more probably than not cheating. This move is in the best interests of the League, as it is unfair to have one team have such a grossly unfortunate offseason when that team is not the New England Patriots."

Good sir, have you considered running for President--and, if so, will you give any thought to selecting Dikembe for your running mate?

Reading this is like the joke about lawyers...
Patriots fans ( lawyers) don't think they are funny and
The rest of the league ( other people) don't think they are jokes!!!!!
You don't want to give the Putzes of Park Avenue any ideas.

Trade Kaepernick in pre season and sack the season for Hackenberg ...
Use the trade picks obtained on a CB or 2 and .... with the worst record ...

'Sack for Hack'.

According to this board, the pats. Every year.

According to this board, the pats. Every year.

Some standard suckage times:

1: Draft after round 1
2: First few days of free agency
3: Early in the game ... game thread.
