Cooley would be the obvious choice. Or Rex if he was willing to make fun of himself.

Personally, I think he needs to get his act together on the field, he's a physically gifted WR that we could use. But this whole twitter non-drama is a non-issue for me.

I personally don't like it but it's what guys do these days. People need to get over it.

Haha...good point. I will drop it. Hopefully Hank gets on the field and shows us what he can do soon...

I'm listening to Shanny's presser right now. Just a minute ago he said that Hankerson has "been making some absolutely spectacular plays in practice." Hopefully the light is starting to come on for him. We need him.

Taylor Jacobs 2.0. It's possible.

Well, Taylor Jacobs was picked like 40+ picks earlier than Hank.

It's also possible that he'll start to shine.

I think Hankerson was drafted to replace Moss.
Start him next week.
Get him in the groove.
Give him some learning time.
We need to get this youth movement a tad seasoned so our new QB Charlie Van Der McKlusky or whatever his name may be has some weapons.

Don't worry, Mr. Hanky will show up around Christmas.

Nicely played sir. I hope he is clicking by the Vikings game because my friend is a big time homer vikings fan and they beat us last year. I need this one to shut him up. On a sad note as an FSU fan I wish the Redskins could have got Ponder. But I do love Kerrigan.

I would like to see Paul, Austin and Hankerson starting, Gaffney had a so-so game poor on the side. It's time for a youth movement.

Don't know about Mallett but I have a feeling that Kaepernick will be available on the waiver wire in the next 12 months...

I agree. Maybe a silver lining of Moss going down will be the young kids getting a chance to step up to the plate. One can hope, at least.

Stallworth should easily be supplanted by Austin. Gaffney will not yet since he's been posting a 50-60 yards a game and has 23 receptions the season.

It also doesn't help that he is the biggest WR they have and his presense is desperately needed in the redzone. So yes...Not gonna lie...the thoguht of him sitting around playing video games bugs me.

He's 21 years old and making a million dollars a year. Have no problem with him playing video games. Glad he's not oversleeping through practice, running ppl over in his sports car, bringing guns to practice, or getting suspended for illegal substances.

It's just unrealistic to think that these guys are watching film every waking hour of every day. They all have lives - they eat, they sleep, some go to parties, some go to charity events. I'm willing to bet 90% of them play video games.


Just hope he brings his game this Sunday...

With all due respect, I think you are totally wrong. The only way he would be on the waiver wire is if Luck pulls an Elway/Manning and wants to only play for the 49ers. I guess it could happen.
