Mike Rumph just a man not superhero.

this was the best case senario because if we would have cut gim he would have wound up on an NFC East team giving away the secrets to our new playbook... at least this way he doesn't go somewhere that will hurt us and if rumph can balance out to first round talent then even better

Here is how I break this trade down:

Jacobs: Entered the league with high expectations due in large part to speed.
Rumph: Entered the league with high expectations due in large part to speed.

Jacobs: Frequent injuries derailed player development and led to repuation as an underachiever.
Rumph: Frequent injuries derailed player development and led to repuation as an underachiever.

Jacobs: Likely to be cut.
Rumph: Likely to be cut.

Looks like a great deal for both players who each get a chance at a fresh start. It will be a great deal for the team of the player takes advantage of this second chance.

You are correct, sir.

Hmm..Tim Hassleback anyone?

It is interesting how the 49ner's are quickly becoming our New York Jets of the the West.

The real question is how is he on Madden 07?

I like the trade in that we add depth to a position so desperately needed. On the other hand, what disturbs me most is, all around the area of CB seems to be injuries. Shawn Springs had problems late last season and is having some problems now. Carlos Rogers had lingeering problems most of last year and has had some early problems this year. Mike Rumph in his brief NFL career has been beset with injury. I guess my biggest concern is how we're going to use injured players as depth for injured players. Kenny Wright was a drum Sunday night, and Jimoh is having problems also. Let's hope this injury problem somehow finds a way to no onger be a concern or we could have serious problems later on.

Are we saying we should've drafted a CB?

By the way, Roger McIntosh is a going to be a good LB.

Roger that!





Ok, I apologize.

I would not have been upset had we drafted a CB but what I'm more concerned with is the fact when we have injuries we bring in guys with injury concerns. Sort of like fighting fire with fire.

Getting a corner drafted in the first round for a guy who you were going to drop is a steal. This guy has started in the NFL several seasons, he has just been hurt the last two years.

If this pans out this may be the best move that Cerrato has ever made (if you consider all of the variables).
