Here's Hoping Alex Smith's Spark Catches Fire for the 49ers

Per Mike Singletary's Monday Presser , Alex Smith will be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers going forward. For those of us who got to watch the second half of the Houston game, this move brings with it some hope...

49ers-Texans: What Can San Fransisco Fans Expect?

We've all had nearly two weeks to go through all of the various phases of dealing with a teeth-kicking loss to Atlanta. First there's panic, generally during the game in question, followed shortly thereafter by anger, sadness, shame...

49ers Fans: Is It Too Early To Believe?

Many fickle 49er fans (say that three times fast) as well as so-called "experts" alike are all answering or trying to answer one question: "Are the 49ers a good team?" In the wake of one of the worst losses in franchise history, it's a fair question...

San Francisco 49ers: Thoughts After Two Wins

I wrote this article after the third preseason game of 2009, detailing who the San Francisco 49ers were as a team. My reactions to their play in the preseason led me to make some statements about ...

The San Francisco 49ers Are Who We Thought They Were...but Hoped They Weren't

Sure, it's the preseason. I know, you're not supposed to draw any conclusions from it. But I tend to disagree, to an extent. When the first-team offense is going up against a first team defense...

San Francisco 49ers Look Rough Around Edges in Preseason Opener

Though there were plenty of bright spots, to me it looked at times as though the 49ers thought they were playing in a scrimmage perhaps. Maybe that's the way the coaches wanted to approach this game...

Really? Crowning the Vikings Already? Here We Go Again...

So here I find myself again (albeit much earlier in the season than last year) in disbelief over the instant crowning of the Minnesota Vikings as not only NFC North champs, but tops of the entire conference...

Go Greene for Heisman...Shonn Greene

I'm writing this article in response to seeing the recent numbers for Heisman votes. Of the only two RBs to get significant votes, Javon Ringer is ahead of Shonn Greene by 14,000 votes. Javon Ringer has 139 LESS yards on 92 MORE carries than Shonn Greene

How Nnamdi Asomugha Would Make a Difference for the 49ers

Any fan can see that the 49ers have problems. Everyone wants to throw out solutions starting with Quarterback, Receivers...the big play guys. Sure Shaun Hill was a perennial backup...a third-stringer who hasn't played long enough to prove anything...
