I have a new post up at NFL.com Blog Blitz about how the 49ers should avoid using the franchise tag.  Check it out here: http://blogblitz.nfl.com/san-francisco-49ers/entry/02192011_49ers_franklin .

Imagine you are a new CEO hired to take over a company that has languished in futility the last decade under the current owners after two straight decades of being one of the best companies the industry had seen with the previous owners.  As the new CEO your first task to turn the tide of losing ways is to hire and surround yourself with management personnel you trust and are confident will get the job done.  As the new CEO you are able to accomplish said objectives and now you start to develop your schedule for the next fiscal year [...]

With only one quarterback currently signed on the roster, David Carr, to say the 49ers are badly in need of a new man under center is an understatement.  The 49ers can pursue all three avenues of acquiring a new quarterback whether through the draft, trade or free agency.  The 49ers have the number seven pick overall in this year’s draft so selecting a quarterback is not out of the question in the first-round.  Most will agree that there are no Sam Bradford’s in this year’s draft meaning a quarterback that can start right away and successfully lead the offense and [...]

On Tuesday, February 15 the San Francisco 49ers will host a conference call Fan Forum with General Manager Trent Baalke and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh.  The conference call will take place from 7:00 PM-8:00PM (Pacific Standard Time). I think this a great opportunity to get in some hard questions to two of most important figures in the 49ers organization.  Grant it, a lot of people will probably be on the call but you never know you might be able to ask a question. I am not sure if the 49ers have done anything like this in the past but they [...]

There were a lot of things that went wrong with Super Bowl XLV.  Everything from over 850 fans losing their seats to the National Anthem being botched. Luckily the most important part, playing the game, was a success and was one of the best Super Bowls I have seen that did not involve the 49ers.  Few of the commercials were funny.  My favorite was Bridgestone’s “Reply All” commercial. The biggest commercial fail was Groupon’s commercial about Tibet.  Making fun of a country’s struggle for independence won’t exactly win you the new customers you are seeking with the Super Bowl Ad.    The [...]

Last Saturday, January 29th marked the 15th anniversary of the 49ers last Super Bowl victory.  I still remember watching the game in my grandma’s living room with my cousins who are also 49er fans.  A jumping huddle of celebration started after the game came to an end and the 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers 49-26.  At the time I thought this would be the start of a string of 49ers champions and they would become the team of the 1990′s.  The 49er teams that finished out the second-half of the 1990’s were good however no Super Bowl appearances.
