West 6,713 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Niners are having all sorts of issues: Harbaugh Contract Extension on hold Glen Dorsey torn a Bicep and is out for perhaps the season Kendall Hunter out for the Year DT Williams had 4 surgeries on his ankle and is still questionable.... New LEVI'S Stadium had a "practice" event ( Soccer game) this weekend and it was a disaster....parking lots did not clear, light rail broke down, people parked on a nearby golf course and tore it up. Overal, the "Mercury News" ( Local fishwrap) called it a stunning success. People were all over the radio this morning on the drive in ripping both the newspaper and the Stadium. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcchief4lif 910 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just a weird feeling coming from that team this year, seems like they may be running out of steam. I think the Rams will actually be fighting with Seattle for first place. But I can't discount the Cardinals either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,713 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Injury Bug is all over them. Baalke and Harbaugh are not on the same page, that is very worrisome to 9er fans out here. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Jonathan Baldwin. A case study in how to go from being a first round draft pick to being on the waiver wire in just a few years. Gotta add this guy to one of those biggest busts lists in NFL history I guess. does anyone scoop this guy up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcchief4lif 910 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lions nabbed him. The Detroit Lions have claimed wide receiver Jon Baldwin, a former first-round pick, off waivers. A day after he was waived by the San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver Jon Baldwin was claimed by the Detroit Lions. The move was first reported by Michael Schottey, and it's unknown at this time who was released to make room for Baldwin. Baldwin comes to Detroit after spending the last year in San Francisco. He had 3 catches for 28 yards in seven games last season as a member of the 49ers, and they decided to part ways with him on Sunday. Baldwin was actually traded to the 49ers last August after a disappointing two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. They took him 26th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft, but he only had 41 catches for 579 yards and 2 touchdowns in his two years with the Chiefs. He was really the definition of a first-round bust in Kansas City. Considering that Baldwin wasn't even able to figure things out in San Francisco, it's highly, highly unlikely he will be with the Lions for long. The last couple spots at wide receiver are currently up for grabs, but with a late start on learning the playbook and some pretty negative reviews from his first two stops in the NFL, there's no reason to expect him to even contend for a spot on the 53-man roster. UPDATE: Dave Birkett reports that the Lions released wide receiver Reese Wiggins to make room for Baldwin. http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2014/8/4/5968537/lions-claim-jon-baldwin-off-waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrow 529 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm really, really hoping that AJ Jenkins turns into a playmaker just so that the Chiefs fleece the 49ers in a trade for once. Jon Baldwin had bust written all over him before he was even drafted. Another stupid pick by a very bad regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handswarmer 645 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I remember saying he wasn't worth that draft pick. Might have to do a study on the Chiefs 1st rounders in the last 10 years..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Baldwin is just lazy. I don't know if he can ever get past it. From what I saw out of he, he quit on his route when he didn't get separation. It's a shame because he has the size and the tools to be good. I would take AJ Jenkins over him every time.

AlwaysChiefs 82 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 "The Lions had looked into the 6-foot-4 Baldwin to try to bolster a receiving corps behind starters Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate." Baldwin's name shouldn't be in the same sentence as Tate, much less Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthy of 1st rd pick +1 2009- TJack- 3rd pick overall not re-signed after rookie contract? BUST 2010- Berry- has flashed but in retrospect is he really a game changer (al Ed Reed) worthy of #5 overall? I give it a meh 2011- Baldwin- BUST 2012- Poe- has shown much to me... 2013- Fisher- not enough body of work to judge although Im not sure he was worth #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
