The Irving Mathews area is, for us, over. I didn't even bid on him in his preferred stage, thinking he wouldn't get any love (and I didn't want to outbid AVAILABLE). But a human team, Juggernaut's 49ers, put in pretty big money (looks like more or less the requested deal) to have him for his 13-14-15th seasons. So, he's gone.

Solid run with us. Average season over his 10 years would be about 5,000 yards, 36 TD, 16 Int, and a rating of 99. And he got us our only ring, indeed he did.

I don't know how one measures "greatness" but I guess he created some debate over who is our franchise's greatest QB ever. Given where that debate starts, that's an accomplishment in itself.

Okay then. We're gonna try to Carve it up this year. We will do what we can to extend him out for a couple seasons in advance of him, hopefully, becoming the next 5,000 yard hobo in town.
