I just got home from my appearance at Comcast. On the show they were saying Nate Davis will sign with Seattle. This is interesting. Scot McCloughan, as you know, works in personnel with the Seahawks and he was a Nate supporter with the Niners. Davis never got his shot in [...]

Nate Davis, the final word for now

By now you know the Niners added Nate Davis to their practice squad. Good for them and good for Davis. He obviously needs more work and the 49ers showed, in good faith, they continue their commitment to developing him. You also know the 31 other teams refused to pick him [...]

Singletary Rips Nate Davis

The headline for this blog entry is "Singletary Rips Nate Davis." No exaggeration. In an ordinary postgame Q&A with Matt Maiocco and me doing the questioning, Singletary did not hesitate to vent his frustration with Davis' progress and his work ethic and maybe even his future with the team.

Nate Davis advocates were wrong

Much of last season Nate Davis advocates flooded me with emails saying Nate Davis is better than Alex Smith and represents the future of the 49ers at quarterback. Some advocated him as starter last season. It may be true that Davis will be the starter in the long run but [...]

Nate Davis, the drama
