Wow, it must suck being a Niner fan these days.

Borland is retiring, maybe the most damaging blow of all for the Niners this offseason.

Things sure changed in a hurry over there. Maybe the lambies have a shot at 3rd place in the division now.

Willis , Borland from the 49 ers , Locker walks away with 26 million

Teams are going to have to put some type of a clause in these contracts that protects them from gold diggers that want a pay day and then bail . I understand the concern but taking money and quitting ? That isn't going to fly for long

First place since the rest of the division will be starting backup QBs after playing the Rams.

Can't hurt what you can't catch.

His luck is running out.

 

[TheBandwagon]

It isn't luck. 3 seasons in and still going strong. Which is exactly the reason his "luck" didn't run out last year like you thought it would.

Not sure about the rest of them but to Borland's credit, he gave the Niners about $6 or 7 million worth of play and only got paid something like $440k so he gave a lot more than he got back in the one season he played. He gave up a fortune in future earnings to keep his long term physical and mental health and I think his motives were genuine.

Interesting that you advocate slavery for NFL contracts.

Will 9ers get a high compenz pick for borland and Willis I wonder?

As Pete would say, they made us better.

Maybe SF will get better when their fans stop drooling over those old ass rusty rings, used and abused.

Looks like the Cards have taken over as our sparring partner
