Rob's House

If looking at this pragmatically, the question is whether enough people will gain enough marketable skills to justify the investment. Let's be realistic about the % of these resources that will fund classes that never have a meaningful impact on one's earning potential. We advocate "education" for its own sake. Yes, education is the key to prosperity, but all education is not created equally. Yes, a liberal arts degree CAN be valuable, but it's often just a way to kill time while someone else pays the Bills. The point is, an education that doesn't adequately prepare you to embark on a gainful career isn't worth much, and that's likely to be the majority of what this program funds. A better solution would be to focus on making high school more practical again rather than pushing the age at which people become productive back.

I wouldn't mind bringing in Lupati and Jake Iocker. I know Jake's been injured, but with Lupati protecting him he may not get beaten up as much.

What can I say. I got kicked out of divinity school.

I'm not sure if it was posted here, but I read somewhere that CJ's stats in 3 & 4 wide sets have been consistently strong, even under Marrone. I'm not certain of this, but if true it would seem to indicate that he is a dangerous weapon and Marrone really was misusing him.

The true cost was a buck-o-five.

I don't know if that's true. It's hard to deny that Kaepernick walked into an ideal situation. If the roles were reversed it wouldn't surprise me to see the results reversed too. And I'm not that high on EJ.

That's true, but otherwise he's great with a capital "G".

They always are. If you'd suggested the Watkins trade the day before the draft most people would have called you an idiot. The next day Whaley was a genius.

Don't worry. He's going to be HC, not GM.

What did Rex do that was so "out of line" off the field?

I think he came in wanting to be a starting QB, but after taking a pounding for 12 weeks he probably decided he'd rather move on while he still has his health. I doubt he's interested in coming back.

49er fans are in denial about Kaepernick and they're desperately clinging to any scapegoat they can. That means demonizing the OC. The fact is that Alex Smith was performing just as well in that system before Kaepernick took over. He had success early but now that defenses have forced him to win with his arm he hasn't been able to process fast enough to make the right plays. That's on the QB. SF's loss is our gain.

First thing you have to figure out is what you want out of the relationship. Then the rest is a lot easier to figure out. I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that she's testing the waters before making a leap; that's pretty standard for women looking to get out of a relationship. I'd be more concerned about the guy's proclivity for violence. But it's not like you're breaking up a family or even a happy couple. If she's already planning to bolt for another guy, why shouldn't it be you?

Not sure if you've followed football in the last decade or two, but there's a salary cap in place.

I'm very happy with this hire. Rex didn't come here to kiss Bellichick's rings.

What difference does it make what Cleveland did or does with the picks? Plus, it's not just about Beckham. The point is that there were so many good WR options available that it seems the cost to move up may have outweighed the upgrade in talent.

I might normally agree with you about a RB in the first, but Todd Gurley in the second is a steal. And I didn't realize we had 2 5this, but if we do I support the idea of using it on a high upside OL. Nobody I was excited about in a position of value. We're going with the running game this year under coach Rob. BTW, if anyone's got connections to the FO, I'm available, I'm awesome, and I know I don't know **** so I'll defer to those who do. #RobforHC!

Also, salt manufacturers and distributors fear poor sales figures from within the slug community.

2. Todd Gurley - RB - GA (6'1" 232) 3. Jalen Collins - CB -LSU (6'1" 195) 5. Sean Mannion - QB - Or St (6'4" 220) 7. Jalston Fowler - FB - AL (6'1" 248) Championship!

We've heard from the pro and anti trade crowds, but what of the ambivalent crowd? The people who say, well, we did get a really good player, of course, that pick would come in handy to trade up or trade for a QB. If we're willing to be objective, whether we're pro or con, we should at least be able to admit that it wasn't an awful trade and it wasn't anything special either.

Mike's getting old and maybe isn't up for the rigors of a HC gig. Perhaps he'd rather take it down a notch and be Kyle's OC.

I dig this thought process. It's a low cost move that could net a nice reward, and there aren't a lot of other options at the moment.

He's an old soul.

If I'm Sammy Watkins I'm sipping top shelf Bourbon and I just got some kitty, so I'm feeling alright.

Doesn't make the "he had Elway" argument any less ridiculous.
