What a game by the 49ers, eh?

Smith, Crabtree, Manningham, Walker, Gore, Hunter, and the rest of the Offense looked incredible.

Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Willis, Bowman, Goldson, Rogers, Culliver, Brown, Whitner, Brooks, and the rest of the Defense looked equally imposing.

Wowsers.

But how is that a hack? To keep putting up 1000 yard seasons with that crap throwing to you? You must be pretty good.

I think he's a great player. I don't think there was any real reason to stay in Arizona past 2011. Yes, he got a great deal, but he had already earned something like 70-80M at that point. It was justifiable to leave as he was franchise-proof due to a contract clause.


He spent the previous season catching passes from Derek Anderson and Max Hall. Arizona is historically a bottom tier ownership group. He could have been paid by anyone and gone somewhere like Baltimore that is a great organization.

Maybe he's holding out hope that in 2017 Whisenut will recruit a brain dead Roethlisberger to fix the QB situation. Arizona loves to pick up the fucked out ex Steelers.
