At least 15 quarterbacks who would improve 49ers right now

I woke up with an idea buzzing around my head. How many quarterbacks in the NFL are capable of making the 49ers offense better than it is with Alex Smith in charge? And who are they? Here are 15 off the top of my head – i.e. almost half the [...]

Fleener to Colts

The Colts just took Coby Fleener, reuniting him with Andrew Luck. He was Luck's favorite receiver at Stanford. You would have to say the Colts are having a monster draft. They needed one. I keep getting hung up on Trent Baalke slipping AJ Jenkins' name in an envelope. No trick [...]

Draft Day Shocker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a move that completely shocked the NFL, America and the world, the Indianapolis Colts kicked off the NFL draft by surprisingly selecting QB Andrew Luck.

Phil Simms wrong about Andrew Luck

Phil Simms is an opinionated football analyst. And for that I appreciate him. Recently, he said Andrew Luck does not make big time NFL throws and he questioned Luck's arm strength. I happen to disagree with these Simms opinions. I've seen Luck play a lot and he has a big [...]

Stanford almost out of Luck

Stanford absolutely murdered Washington tonight, and Washington is allegedly a good team. The zany thing is Stanford did it mostly with defense and by running the ball. Andrew Luck, as great as he is, was kind of a spectator. That's how balanced Stanford is. Anyway, that's why I came up [...]

Will Stanford's Andrew Luck win the Heisman Trophy next season? He has a simple answer: No. I didn't know Grant was writing this [...]

Andrew Luck stays at Stanford

Stanford announced Andrew Luck will stay in school -- he won't leave for the NFL. Fascinating. I don't believe this means Jim Harbaugh will reconsider and stay at Stanford. I think it means Luck and Harbaugh are separate items. Luck wants his degree -- remember, he's a Stanford student and [...]

Orange Bowl impressions

The Orange Bowl isn't quite over, but come on. So here are some random thoughts. Jim Harbaugh didn't do anything tonight to hurt his chances as a future NFL coach if that's what he wants. His offense is so much more interesting than the 49ers'. It's like the Niners were [...]

Stanford up 14-0

It's still the first quarter and Stanford leads Oregon State 14-0. Andrew Luck threw two TD passes. This Stanford offense is so much more creative and interesting than the 49er offense.
