Something was amiss about Alex Smith at the start of this season, but we didn’t know what until he went on injured reserve for 2008. When did Smith’s shoulder experience the stress fracture? Was it when Rocky Bernard crushed him to the turf, separating his shoudler? Was it the strenuous weigh...

Karma, specifically Football Karma, is a very real thing.  It’s not something you can explain, but it is real nonetheless.  The old adage says, “What goes around, comes around.”  The Bible says, “What a man sows, so shall he reap.  Since there is perhaps no better metaphor for life than ...

The book on Mike Nolan has been written, and “The End” has been affixed to the last page at long last. Take a deep breath.  It’s real. Mike Singletary is the Interim Head Coach, and immediately the critics have let fly.  It’s not necessary to expound his credentials.  Hall of Fame Lineb...

I’m not usually one to quote the Mercury News.  I think they had it out for Mike Nolan before he deserved it.  No question the man deserves it.  Ann Killion, the reporter who traded the infamous barbs with Nolan which launched their paper on their crusade to remove him, had this to say today: ...

There is something wrong with the 49ers.  They used to say something stinks in Denmark.  Something really stinks in Santa Clara. I got on the J.T. O’Sullivan bandwagon after the preseason game against the Bears, because I saw a guy who was learning from his mistakes.  I saw a player who was pr...

There. I said it. J.T. O’Sullivan has officially ended the debate in my mind. O’Sullivan’s performance against the Bears was relatively short, but important. He showed that he has the ability to make the throws required of him, from a perfectly placed lob over Vernon Davis’ shoulder on t...

I thought I’d kick off 2009′s offseason coverage with a little prediction. Paul Hackett will be the Offensive Coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Or at least he should be. Matt Barrows is reporting that Paul Hackett is being considered for the Offensive Coordinator position ( http://tiny...

When new 49ers Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye’s name came up as a candidate, Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat provided a statistical analysis of his past performance in the same position.
