[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 487984, member: 2846"] Potential Playmakers (in order of likelihood): Hayward, Burnett, Daniels, Perry (would be higher but for injury) and Manning (mostly based on what my gut says - guy went through a lot as a rookie and didn't complain or make excuses and [I]still[/I] did okay. Suspect most players would have folded.) Funny thing about all the players you mentioned as great pickups as FAs by 49ers. Smith and Rodgers were considered almost busts. Whittner had a great rookie season but faltered thereafter. Brooks looked impressive early but got hurt year 2 and missed most of season. Came back but Cincy cut him. Healed another year then SF signed him. That is to say, 3 of these guys needed time to develop to become what they are. Why not give our guys some time to develop also, rather than just trying to find some other teams cast offs? More often than not - signing FAs, even if the player is more talented than your guy, makes your team worse. [/QUOTE]
