First-round pick gets flyover of hometown before Michael Bidwill gets him to Valley

Parsons is just another level of athlete at the middle linebacker positions, a la Brian Urlacher, Patrick Willis or Luke Kuechly. I’ve seen some concerns about his instinctiveness, which I believe to be overblown and even if he doesn’t have the best instincts in the league, Parsons often has the athleticism to make up for it. He’s an elite blitzer and pass rusher from the position and sheds blocks with ease. Parsons also makes sure that when he gets to the ball carrier, he brings them dow...

Wilson is the owner of our best college-to-pro projection and our best text analytics projection. Per PFF draft guru Mike Renner in the PFF Draft Guide, “Wilson’s arm is special. He made more NFL throws weekly than any other quarterback in the class.” Wilson earned a 96.5 PFF grade from a clean pocket last season (best in the class) and managed to mitigate turnover-worthy plays to only 1.2% of his dropbacks despite a 10.9-yard average depth of target — the highest depth of the potential...

Being a football fan is quite a one-sided arrangement.  These poor individuals are asked to buy tickets and jerseys, offer unconditional support, and invest their time and dreams into a team for what more often than not offers little or nothing in exchange. Fans get zero say in the players who are signed, how the team practices, who starts on the field, or what plays are called. Go ahead and send a letter to Jed York or Kyle Shanahan. Let me know how deafening that silence is that you receive ...

Hump Day Thread Who deserves your deepest and darkest hatred? Who has caused you more grief, distress and general discombobulation than any other? Who has torn apart friends, families, cancelled entire sports and reeked absolute havoc on every single life in this state and country? Were talmbout Covid. Yes Cuppers. No small side comments and brief (yea right Velvet) tantrums on lost opportunity, missed games, destroyed lives and mask morality. Time to hit it head on like Patrick Willis hits an ...

Mar 8, 2021 Say what you want about the clock mismanagement or stubbornness to relinquish defensive play-calling, but Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio knows linebackers. Between 1986 and 1992 Fangio was the linebackers coach of the famed ‘Dome Patrol of the New Orleans Saints — a unit regarded among the best linebacker corps of all-time.  That unit included Hall-of-Famer Rickey Jackson, as well as Vaughan Johnson, Sam Mills, and Pat Swilling. The quartet combined for a staggering 18 P...

2.8k NFL and San Francisco 49ers great Joe Montana joined ESPNs First Take on Wednesday and discussed Jimmy Garoppolos future. Is Garoppolo the quarterback who will lead Kyle Shanahans offense in 2021, or will the team look at alternatives? That has certainly been a hot topic this offseason. It seems to be a hot topic each offseason. San Francisco has proven it can win with Garoppolo under center, but the 29-year-old quarterback has now missed 23 games over the past three seasons, bringing his...

By David Bonilla Apr 1, 2021 Dan Patrick shared some insight into what the San Francisco 49ers are planning to do with the No. 3 overall pick after trading some hefty draft capital last week to move into that spot. Many analysts are projecting Alabama quarterback Mac Jones to be the pick, but others feel he could have been had with a later selection. Would Jones have made it all the way down to No. 12, the 49ers original spot? Maybe not. But selecting him at No. 3 is viewed by many as a mass...

According to a post on the Sheriff's office page, he was arrested after an accident because of a murder warrant out of Fulton County.

We were probably overdue. Michael Lombardi of The Athletic is the latest to claim the two San Francisco 49ers decision-makers cant agree. This time, the difference of opinions surrounds what to do with the No. 3 overall pick. More specifically, it has to do with whic...
