    Re: Screw Clay -- Sign C Stefen Wisniewski and TE Rob Housler for the Same Money

    I don't think Eric Wood is good enough to not have competition at center, so I would love to bring in Wiz.

      We do tend to overrate Wood, but it is due to his performance relative to the rest of our OL.

        So the solution to our TE issue is to bring in a smaller and faster version of Scott Chandler who runs worse routes? By that logic I'd rather just keep Gray and Gragg and see what they can do in an offense better designed to utilize athletic TE's and H-Backs.

          Wisniewski makes a lot of sense.

            I'd be OK with this.

                Housler is a cheap solution but I would have no problem going with Gray and Gragg.

                Improving the OL is the key.

                Who said that this offense is better designed to utilize athletic TEs and H-Backs?

                  Probably because of Vernon Davis and how he was utilized by Roman in San Francisco.

                    Until last year.

                    A ground and pound game does not need to have those elements.

                      Roman's track record with guys like Vernon Davis, and Delanie Walker.

                        Hmmm - this Roman chap comes on the scene and all of a sudden the BUF team is primed become an unstoppable force. Why did his former team not keep this wunderkind?

                          Bills are dumb. They should have already done this. Clay is not a world beater.

                            Well, I think there were many reasons included that have nothing to do with performance. The 49ers are falling apart. Now a 24y old LB retired. After Willis. Everybody seems to leave the sinking ship. I do think that Harbaugh is an idiot. But somehow everything falls apart without him. Maybe the owners wanted a yes man and did not ask Roman to become head coach. Maybe Roman did not want. maybe they did not want him because of his performance. But I would not bet on that latter one. And even if true, I dont really trust their judgement.

                              Harbaugh guy, and I'm not saying he's an unstoppable force. Just seems odd that the solution to a TE problem is to get a guy whose plainly worse because he's able to run faster. We already have that.

                                Chris Borland retiring had little to nothing to do with the 49ers and what is going on behind the scenes there. You're going to see more players retire early in the next couple of decades until the NFL starts to actually give a **** about the real threat that concussion pose to their players long term.
