    Frank Gore, Braylon Edwards, Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis...

    If Alex Smith can't have success with that group, then he needs to just leave the NFL forever.

    Hes just a stopgap until Colin Kaepernick is ready, I doubt Smith ends the season as the 49ers starter.

    Yeah I don't think there's any doubt he's just there because Kaepernick is too young... but he should still have success with those guys on his offense.

    That's the same squad he had last year sans Edwards. I bet Smith fails again. Niners should figure out a way to get Orton. He would make that offense go.

    Not to mention that Gore is past his prime and injury-prone.

    Big for the Chargers to retain a big tall reciever who almost averaged 20 yrds / catch.

    Chargers also got Laurent Robinson who was a speedster in St. Louis. Really liking our squad this year, hopefully, for once........ we can stay healthy.

    Except Mathews showed to camp fat, so it looks like there will be no running game again.

    Mathews is trash no matter what he weighs. He just looks like trash out there. Bowling ball & Sproles was a much scarier duo.

    I really thought he was a bruiser in college, always liked the way he ran the ball at Fresno.


    But I'll be glad if he turns into a bust.

    After Mathews said he was afraid the Texans were gonna take him, and how relieved he was when the Chargers did, he was pretty much dead to me. Yeah, I bet being a part of one of the most prolific rushing attacks in the league last year would have sucked......

    Seems like Denver is set on keeping Orton....

    Im hoping Denver swallows their pride and trades Tebow.... I can see him with San Fran/Miami/Washington
