So after scaring away every other candidate, the Niners promoted their QB coach Geep Chryst to OC. He was the charger's oc for two very bad seasons before Tomlinson showed up.... and that's it! Why not promote your unqualified qb coach, Kap was fantastic these past two years!

If it makes you feel better we (redskins) hired Trent dilfer and Jay Cutler's qb coach

Edit. Sorry he was the ravens OC instead of qb coach

also forgot to mention that our new DC was the guy who was DC for the Lions when they went 0-16

The 49ers front office seems to have gone full Redskins mode.

And Rod Marinelli was the HC, but he's one of the best DCs in the league. There was so much wrong with that 0-16 team. Marinelli obviously couldn't motivate the whole team to play, and they had so little talent during that stretch. You probably have a good reason to be concerned though, considering he's been out of football for three years. That doesn't just happen to positions coaches if they're any good... although he had a strong LB corps when he coached them in San Diego.

Cavanaugh is probably better than some of his stats indicate. He's had a dearth of talent to work with in the past. You can't blame him for Trent Dilfer or Mark Sanchez sucking, it's really not his fault. A lot of things about Jay Cutler improved in his first year, chiefly his pocket mechanics. He regressed badly this year, but that's as much on him as it is on any coach. I'm sure there are far worse hires that could have been made. I think what's more concerning is that Jay Gruden didn't feel the need to have a QBs coach last year. Every team has one now (practically) why would his be any different?

I'm never gonna know you now \ But I'm gonna love you anyhow.

Just heard an interesting "There's a 2% chance this is real but it would explain everything" theory: What if the Matthews hit on Wilson concussed him and that's why he played like crap two weeks ago?

Considering he mostly played better after that point, I would say no.

Didn't he throw like 3 picks after that? Or was it only 2?

The worst part about this front office dumpster fire is that it is going to take 9-10 months for the fans to figure out how bad it is. This off-season has been a catastrophe so far.

Honestly, I forget, but I think that was his 2nd pick at that point, which would mean he threw 2 after that.

He's seeming like a sad combination of both. Being hopelessly addicted to drugs when you have a potentially great nfl career ahead of you makes you a massive idiot.


I don't think he's hopelessly addicted... Like seriously? I don't think people know what that means.

It's not like his substance use would prevent him from holding practically any job that didn't require random UA's or a Drivers License.

If it weren't for stupid drug policies (outside of the DUI) it wouldn't be a problem, He probably does less "drugs" and drunk driving than most of the working people in America (especially if we're talking 18-24 year olds).

The guy wouldn't even have tested positive for cannabis under the new rules, and the only reason the alcohol was a problem was because of what wouldn't even be a problem with cannabis now...

How divorced from reality are people?

You guys make him sound like he's selling his daughter on the corner for meth money... Good Lord.

I dunno if I would say "hopelessly addicted" from the information we have. Probably just an idiot who thinks he can get away with it


Considering how much shit the NFL turns a blind eye towards can anyone really blame him? Also, if you can look back on your 18-24 years and think "whew didn't do anything stupid that put my future at risk" (like smoking cannabis or drinking alcohol when you weren't supposed to, or any of the other countless dumb things people that age do) than you are probably a boring person with boring (if any in real life) friends.



no matter how stupid I may think the Nfl's policies are, he knew very well that he couldn't even drink after his last dance with them and he did. He's literally chosing booze rather than playing, and he's still on his rookie contract. I think it's certainly plausible to mention that he might be an addict if he can't even stay clean long enough for that


Hopeless addicts don't have just a few drinks. The guy would practically get laughed out of AA if he tried to call himself an alcoholic.

It doesn't seem like he drinks himself into a stupor or really any evidence he drinks a lot or often. He drinks probably less than most people 18-24, especially in NC, hes just had some bad luck when it comes to getting caught.

I mean the guy smoked pot in college (who does that right!?) and got a DUI in NC (10TH drunkest state in the country) with a .09 (was really just a speeding ticket until the BA test) and then got caught with alcohol in his urine at a random screening on a weekend (while he's not working for months).

What seems like a much more likely explanation is that he is like your typical person of that age who thinks he can still get away with shit and doesn't comprehend the potential consequences.

But sure if one knew absolutely nothing about addiction or never bothered to actually read the details of his instances I could see how one might think he is a "hopeless addict".

As for owners/top office people caught with drugs or committing other crimes, they should get temp banned by the same guidelines as the players do, perhaps more so since they are "the boss".

Irsay being a 55 year old man in AA post rehab and getting caught with a car full of cash ($29,000) and prescription medication, and being unable to recite the alphabet. Now that sounds like a potential hopeless addict.

Gordon sounds more like a typical person in their early 20's who just happens to have the opportunity to make millions playing a game. If Wall Street randomly UA'd it's employees or gave random UA's to future employees still in college, that shit would be a ghost town in days.


his drinking and drug use is having a very direct negative effect on his career, that's like one of the main things about addiction


The very negative consequences are from some kind of ridiculous standards and typical youth driven poor decision making. If the guy was showing up drunk to games or at least practice there might be something to the idea but really this is just getting silly now.


it's not ridiculous, it's agreed in the cba, he knows that, he got popped for a dui and lots of states will ban you from drinking as a part of your probation. I agree the rules are retarded, and his weed drama bs should never have even counted against him in a just world, but they are what they are. if you know your workplace has a target on you and will have zero tolerance for drinking and drug use and you do it anyway how is that not a sign of addiction? being an addict encompasses a lot more than showing up to work blasted.


Thanks for the diagnosis, armchair doctor.

His behavior may be harmful to his career but to call him a 'hopeless addict' just reeks of stupidity and ignorance while insulting to those individuals who truly have substance abuse issues. Perhaps he just thinks he is above the law and won't get caught again; an attitude that seems pretty common in the NFL. And just because it is in the CBA does not mean it's policies are not ridiculous. You realize a lot of workplaces have zero tolerance and despite a large proportion of employers use one of the three different drug testing methodologies (application testing, random testing, and suspicion testing), people are still caught using multiple times but that doesn't automatically mean they're addicted.

On Jan. 2 of this year, just days after our season ended earlier than we all had hoped — and yes, my actions during the prior offseason definitely contributed to our failure to make the playoffs; it killed me seeing our guys fight so hard when I wasn’t out there with them — I boarded a private flight to Las Vegas with several teammates. During the flight, I had two beers and two drinks. It was the first time I had consumed so much as a drop of alcohol since July 4, 2014, the day of the DWI.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not much of a drinker. Even calling me a social drinker would be an exaggeration, but at that moment, on that flight, I made a choice. The wrong choice, as it turned out.

Upon landing, I received the all-too-familiar notice by phone that I was to report to a testing location within four hours. I failed the test, obviously, and the rest is history … colored by media speculation and faux outrage.

am a human being, with feelings and emotions and scars and flaws, just like anyone else. I make mistakes — I have made a lot of mistakes — but I am a good person, and I will persevere.

If I have a “problem,” it is that I am only 23 years old — with a lot left to learn. I’ve come a long way from those mean Fondren streets, but it’s clear that I can be a better me — one who kids coming up to me for selfies and autographs can be proud of. I want that future for myself. And I truly believe that what I am going through right now will only make me stronger. I believe that my future is bright.


Yeah I'd be pissed if I was him too. Forget about the ignorant posters here, I'd be really pissed about national TV personalities saying dumb shit like they "worry about whether alcohol will kill" me, without having a clue about who I am or how often I drink...
"People like to look at history and think 'If that was me back then, I would have...' We're living through history, and the truth is, whatever you are doing now is probably what you would have done then" "Scratch a Liberal..."

Wait, so he had a drink when the Browns' season was over and it wasn't the "end of the NFL season" so he violated his probation?

The Substance Abuse policy is in effect year round I believe, so regardless of when it happened, it happened. I could be wrong though, I never looked into all the details of the revised policies(SA and PED).
