49ERS COACH: C.J. BEATHARD 'REMINDS ME A LOT OF KIRK COUSINS

Gonna be so funny when he leads a mediocre team to like seven or eight wins and then wants an extension, but the team just franchise tags him over and over again.
 
Teams do funny things when it comes to QBs in the draft. In much the same way the Bears are getting bashed for trading up for a guy they could have had if they stood pat the 49ers went up to get CJ. They just didn’t want the 3rd round to end not knowing if someone else had the same thoughts they did about CJ and they didn’t want to risk not getting him. The Bears knew the 49ers were taking other calls on the 2nd pick and they couldn’t be sure who all they were and who they wanted either. I think NFL teams over value QBs in the draft no big shocker there. So I say if you’re going to do it do it in the middle rounds where the risk is so so much less with pretty much the same ceiling it's the smarter way to go. If he’s 80% of what Cousins is (I don’t see why he couldn’t be) with the potential to get better then why not? Getting your QB of the future in the 3rd round is pretty ideal if you ask me.
 
I think he meant he looks like Kirk's cousin. I agree, he does have a striking resemblance to Kirk's cousin Dirk Ferentz.

Kap was/is an idiot is so many ways. He was Jimmy's hire and Jimmy left. In re to the anthem, I'm not black nor in his shoes. Sitting or standing...what's the deal. Honest people can disagree with what this means. Again, not in his shoes:

3rd stanze: And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Key lobbied hard for continuation of slavery. He likely from his vantage point at McHenry was watching slaves trying to reach British vessels for freedom. Later, Key tried to use his influence to crack down on abolitionist speech.

An interesting take from the Smithsonian. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smith...is-scott-keys-slave-holding-legacy-180959550/

As a Niner fan, I could care less whether CJ sits, stands, or warms up during the anthem. Not even sure why it is played before games. I think CJ may surprise people on the field. His surprises ahead of the game are not relevant.

Except that Kaepernick almost for sure didn't know this was the 3rd stanza of the SSB nor the history of Francis Scott Key when he started sitting for the anthem. This country afforded him the chance to become a millionaire and he chose to look at only one side of it-his perception of racial inequality in the form of what he thinks was police brutality and lack of opportunity for minorities.

He could have taken a better route to fighting racial inequality because by kneeling/sitting for the anthem he was also disrespecting a country that was very good to him personally.

Thats where honest people can disagree. We dont know the family and personal history. We dont know what he knows.
 
I never understood the Kaepernick outrage. Out of 70,000 fans at Kinnick on a saturday, how many spend the national anthem talking, drinking, browsing facebook/twitter, or video recording the anthem itself? Probably at least 20% of the fans...maybe more. Probably 80% of the student section. I see it all the time at every sporting event, and yet there's only outrage when one player silently kneels?

You're reaching with that comparison. He's a physically gifted, young multi-millionaire paid to act like a professional. He also said he was trying to make a statement with his gesture. Then later admitted he didn't vote. Maybe people are growing tired of entitled narcissists. You know, the kind that want their right to free expression while simultaneously shutting down other people's right to free expression. I find it hypocritical that those who defend his right to express himself also don't defend those who want to express them self on campus but can't because "Our school can't safeguard the speaker." I didn't see people rushing the field and threatening Kap with violence and the stadium with being burned to the ground.

I'm glad ratings are down for the NFL. I remember what they did in 2011 to Hank Williams Jr.
 
Geez, Usually you hope to be compared to one of the greats...you know...Johnny Manzell or Ryan Leaf, you know one of the greats that the draft experts called before the greatness ever happened. Honestly, after the Desmond King debacle, I have so little respect for anyone who calls themselves a talent evaluator...GMs included.

All I remember thinking watching Johnny Manzell play and do that stupid ass money sign every five minutes was that he was going to have a difficult time transitioning to a little fish in that league. It's a relentless league where only the strong - physically and mentally survive. Desmond King is going to excel with those requirements.

Had no problems with Faith Hill and eventually Carrie Underwood as replacements.

Not to mention everyone sitting on their couch while the anthem plays on the television...

Actually Kaepernick kneeled during the first two preseason games and nobody noticed. He didn't make a statement or publicize it at all he just silently protested. It wasn't until the 3rd preseason game when a reporter tweeted out a picture of the 49ers during the anthem that people even noticed what he was doing. It was at THAT point he was asked about what he was doing and why

Again...TWO WEEKS went by where he silently protested and didn't announce what he was doing and didn't care that nobody noticed. But hey, feel free to accuse HIM of making a huge issue out of it.
