Kurt Warner Goes To San Francisco 49ers
As sick as it makes me, there are reports that free agent Kurt Warner could possibly sign with the hated San Francisco 49ers. These reports are coming from ESPN and the San Francisco PressDemocrat.com. The PressDemocrat has these comments:
The 49ers have a "legitimate shot" to land veteran free-agent quarterback Kurt Warner, who led the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl this season, a league source said. A second source with knowledge of the situation said there have been no serious contract discussions.No visit has been scheduled that would bring together 49ers representatives and Warner. One source said the 49ers might get together with Warner in the next day or two. If the discussions heat up, the 49ers could send a group of three, including Mike Singletary and general Scot McCloughan, to Arizona to visit with Warner, the source said.
As hard as it was to watch Isaac Bruce go over to the San Francisco 49ers can you even imagine for one second the thought of Kurt Warner playing for the whiners? Maybe we should all send Billy Bidwell a few more of our hard earned dollars so he can sign Kurt and save us from this possible travesty! I have to go throw up now, so please stay tuned...

the second round of the upcoming 2009 NFL Draft very interesting for the Rams. I thought a great pick would be Center Max Unger from Oregon or Alex Mack from California, now the Rams will turn in a new direction. Hopefully Jason Brown will produce more than the Rams big free agent pick up Jacob Bell did in 2008. Steve Spagnuolo has said that he would like to see the Rams get larger along both lines. Jason Brown is a very large 6-3 320 pound center, from a physical Baltimore Ravens franchise. Brown was the Baltimore Ravens 4th round selection in the 2005 NFL Draft. Brown has started every game for the Ravens over the last two years, and in addition is only 25 years old. On the surface this seems like a good move by the Rams. Also for all of the doubting Thomas's out there this proves a player will leave an 11-5 team to come to a 2-14 team. It is simple it is called money. Brett Romberg and Nick Leckey have played rotating chairs with the current Rams starting center job. Both are older and smaller than Brown. Here is to hoping the Rams are going to build a powerful NFC East type of offensive line. What are your thoughts on this signing?
Well the clock struck midnight on Thursday February 26th and the meat market; I mean 2009 NFL free agency period had begun. With hundreds of hot prospects out there who do you want, and can you afford them? They all come with a lot of risks and possible baggage. Why would they leave their current luxurious homes to come to ours? Can we possibly bargain for a lower price or at least negotiate a longer term deal? Which agent would you like to see the St. Louis Rams pick up?
So when I say "He's Just Not That Into You" I Stlvinnie am once again saying I want the St. Louis Rams to stay away from Andre Smith in the 2009 NFL Draft. I don't believe the Rams can take the chance on someone like Andre Smith. The Rams have to hit thier mark with the #2 pick overall. Chris Long was considered a safe choice last year and he stepped right in and started 16 games, had 40 tackles including 4 sacks. I look for Chris to take a big step forward in 2009. Andre Smith makes me think of Glenn Dorsey and Vernon Gholston from the 2008 NFL Draft. Like Glenn Dorsey I believe Andre Smith will continue to have weight issues which will lead to health problems. In addition I believe Billy Devaney and the Rams will stay away from any character issue players. Andre Smith was suspended from the 2009 Sugar Bowl when he apparently signed with an agent. I am not sure where or if Andre is getting any guidance because he is making some bad decisions. Let's remember Andre still had his Senior Year left to get in better NFL shape and to learn another whole year under Nick Saban. Now during the 2009 NFL Combine Andre went AWOL after originally showing up. Why? Since Smith is apparently not in great shape and does not want to hurt his draft status he will not work out. However he went to the combine for the offical weigh-in and then was a no-show because he flew back home. The story is even stranger when you hear that Smith had flown back to Atlanta to work out with his trainer. Are we to believe that he could not work out enough over the past two months to attend the combine but he had to fly out bright and early to get back to work with his trainer. All of this says be afraid, be very afraid. We once again implore the Rams to stay away from drafting Andre Smith. Eugene Monroe who kept last years first round draft pick Brandon Albert from playing Tackle at Virginia is by far a much safer pick and possibly the better player anyway. Monroe is a solid 6'6" and 315 pounds and played all four years at Virginia. Whatever the Rams decide to do we hope it does not include drafting Smith.
used their franchise tag on Free Safety Oshiomogho Atogwe. With Atogwe in the fold and Todd Johnson able to play Strong Safety, the Rams will now set their sites in trying to sign Cornerback Ron Bartell. The Rams who are in desparate need of upgrading their linebacker core have seen 3 top linebackers in Karlos Dansby, Terrell Suggs, and Leroy Hill already tagged. The free agent period should be very interesting. Definition of franchise Tag:
Well if you go by all of the early mock drafts it does appear the St. Louis Rams will draft left tackle Andre Smith from Alabama. The results below are from
