No Pepsi for Willis
The results are in and 49ers defensive rookie of the year Patrick Willis, didn’t win the Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Year. That honor goes to Viking Adrian Peterson. However, Willis won the head-to-head battle when the two guys faced off at Candlestick. Peterson gained just 3 yards on 14 carries. He’ll never have a worse day in his career.
Well, looks like it time to switch to Coca-Cola products….

Bullshit man!! I voted like everyday!!!
Adrian Peterson has Chester Taylor to fill in when he got tired or for a change of pace. Patrick Willis did everything for his team.The dude had 174 tackles with a broken hand most of the year. This just goes to show that 90% of football fans are fucking stupid. Without P Willie we would have been one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Peterson on the other hand was out a couple of games this year and they still won. Fuck the Offensive, Defense is were its at. Good running backs come around quite often but great mlb don’t.
fuck peterson!!! And diet Pepsi, it tastes like shit. Patrick FTW.
First thing first…..
P. Willie won the player of the week 4 times. I know at least two of those times was over adrian when he had a good week. Theres the details right there that the voring system is screwed or one influence mad a decision. P. Willie all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next Season here we come!
Willis does not need a diet rookie pepsi of the year to best the best rookie. It was a giving that peterson was goin to win it because the offense gets more publicity than defense. But , next year I believe Willis will be consistant while perterson will decline—then we will know who should have won the award. Willis doesn’t care about these little awards, I think he wants 1 award and thats Super BOWL.
A change in uniform is coming??? I say go back to the 80’s uniform. The great teams stick to their colors and don’t try to change them in some pathetic attempt to mask the short comings. The niners should go back to the old school jersey like they wore in the opening Monday night game against the Cards. Bring back the REAL NINER uniforms.

NINERS PROMOTE BAALKE
“A league source tells us that the San Francisco 49ers have promoted area scout Trent Baalke to the position of director of player personnel.
It’s a new position, created in the wake of the promotion of former V.P. of player personnel Scot McCloughan to General Manager.
Baalke has spent three years with the 49ers, and 10 years in the NFL.”
Three things that are TRUE!
1. Patrick Willis is undeniably the Rookie of The Year.
2. Adrian Peterson can’t run against the 49ers.
3. Ryan the 1st has NO CREDIABILITY!
THe Perfect guy to play alonside Patrick Willis is another Ray Lewis clone from U of Miami named Travaris Gooden…Due to miami’s struggles Gooden’s stock has dramatically fallen however having 2 ILB’s the caliber of Ray Lewis in his prime would undoubtly give us the #1 run Defense….NO MORE DEREK SMITH!!!!!!Yeahhh
I don’t care how awful Miami’s team is, if this kid was as good as Ray Ray, he’d be at least a top ten. I’m not disagreeing with you that he isn’t good though, but I think he’s a little ways away from being a premier MLB, he’s probably more of a Larry Foote in my opinion. Can run and blitz and is solid, but not by any means Ray Lewis.
What round(s) is travaris gooden projected to go?
Cause now I’m thinking we go…
Pat Sims NT 6′4″ 315 pounds
James Hardy WR
Traveres Gooden ILB (TED)
Will Franklin WR
Jacob Hester FB
Kendall Langford DE in the 3-4
Tommy Blake OLB in the 3-4, supposed to be a higher pick but had off field issues, so his stock has fallen way way down, he could be a steal.
Damn… I voted at least once a day. He was robbed.
I dont agree about changing the uniforms back to the 1980’s look. What is wrong with r uniforms now? Im tired of everyone being stuck on the 1980’s 49ers. Hello people its 2008 I dont mind a change but not the same uniforms from the 1980’s they were ugly there pants wernt even gold they were brown.
The highest I’ve seen Travaris is mid 3rd, but he has the athletic ability to put up some numbers at the combine. If we go line backer I really like Sean Crable from Michigan, he has good speed and can tackle with the best of them. Either Travaris or Crable would be good pick-ups in the third or fourth.
nfldraftcountdown.com got the niners taking quinten groves with their second pick wat do u guys think about this guy?
everyone know willlis should have won but fuck them all
willis is the best we know that
We need to go back to the 1980’s uniforms, and keep that design like it is classy and simple. The 1980 Bill walsh era uniforms were the 49ers, and they showed class like the yankee pinstripes. Bring the 80’s uni’s back forever end of discussion. You can’t lose!
FUCK PEPSI AND PETERSON, WILLIS IS THE BEST AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. WILLIS WE ARE ALL CHANGING OVER TO COKE.
Personally I think the Niners uniforms are good looking now, the ones in the 80’s were ok but they didn’t look amazing. I think people think that if we wear the old uniform we will play good again. Just because the Niners in there prime wore those uniforms, you don’t have to think old uniforms=the good old days. 100% chance if Joe Montana wore the jersey we wear now, in the 80’s, and we wore the ones in the 80s now, everybody would beg to go back to the older ones. I can understand a change of mixing both, but completely going back, we would look really old, and we wouldn’t really fit in the NFL. I would rather have a mix of the old uniforms and a new design, or even the ones we have now, apparently people want to change the uniform because we haven’t been really good wearing it for most of the time. The cap killed us not the uniform! Unless you really really do think the jersey of the 80s look that good, I don’t like the pants colors, because they aren’t even GOLD, they are brownish. Brown is the color of crap, which is actually a good representation of what this team is now, but still, Gold=Wealth, Brown=Crap, I rather have a wealthy life than a crappy one, so I would rather have gold pants than brown ones.
willis rocks go niners
Super Bowl XLII blog: Allen has eye on 49ers
The top free agent in the NFL wants to play for the 49ers.
Defensive end Jared Allen, who is scheduled for unrestricted free agency with the Kansas City Chiefs, attended Los Gatos High. He grew up a Raiders fan, but at this state he would prefer to play for the 49ers.
“Jared would welcome the opportunity to play in front of his hometown crowd,” said Ken Harris, Allen’s agent. “His family is up north. I have no doubt he has a high level of interest in playing (for the 49ers).”
Allen made similar comments yesterday to radio hosts Lamont and Tonelli of 107.7 The Bone, telling them he’d like to play for the 49ers.
However, a lot of pieces would have to fall into place for him to end up with the 49ers. After all, the Chiefs are expected to tag Allen as their franchise player with a tender of $8.9 million. That means any team wishing to sign Allen would have to cough up two first-round draft picks. The Chiefs could also make him an “exclusive” franchise player for a higher price and wipe out his ability to negotiate with other teams.
“It’s the worst-kept secret in the NFL that the Chiefs are going to franchise him,” Harris said. “But Jared has already said that if he plays on the franchise tender, he will never do a long-term deal with them.”
Allen is regarded as one of the NFL’s premier defenders. He recorded a league-high 15.5 sacks last season, led the league in passes batted down at the line of scrimmage and ranked at the top of the league in solo tackles from defensive ends.
If the Chiefs fail to sign Allen to a long-term contract by July 15, they could retain him for two seasons with back-to-back franchise tenders for a combined cost of more than $20 million.
Allen was a fourth-round pick from Idaho State who was selected more for his ability as a long-snapper. However, he quickly developed into a dangerous defender. He has 43 sacks in four seasons.
On Ebay they’ve been selling these knock off Willis jerseys. The primary color is black. They actually look pretty sick though, but I like the current uniforms.
The old uniforms are classy and simple, and the pants are kaki of sand colr not brown, They are gold but not shiny gold. We do not need to screw up the uniforms like we did the endzone logo. The old endzone logo was classy and not boring. The current endzone logo, the lettering 49ers in the ndzone is Boring and plain. Thre old endzone logo had spirit and tradition.(Bring it Back 49ers) It looked like the 49ers prospector days. I have one simple question, does the class act of Baseball the Yanks change their colors or logo or design? No! So either keep the current uniforms the same, or definitly bring back the 80’s uniforms, and change back the 49er endzone lettering.
Brown are you color blind!
I would rather keep the current uniforms than screw them up with some taky design. Please don’t muck them up! Keep same or bring back the 80’s uni’s!
Hey 80’s go back to the 80’s i believe the year is 2008 we dont need Cherry and Tan uniforms ok. If you want to bring back a uniform bring the 1994 ones back.
Me and u Ninersgold are in agreement about this one.
Hey Bring back 80’s uniform guy maybe the warriors should go back to the daisy duke shorts and you know those Bucs probably should go back to yellow and orange unis. Why not right put the Pats on that list to I miss that little guy on the helmet. Hell why not call Joe Montana to be r QB again that will solve some of those problems Jerry Rice still looks to be in good shape forget Hardy ninersgold Rice is the answer. You know Im thinking of getting VHS tapes again anyone want to buy a blueray player?
LMAO
the 94 uniforms sucked ass. white pants with Gold helmet is not a good look.The 80’s uni’s were badass;but I would only like to see them ounce in a while not all 16 games.Yes and the only reason AP won is because ESPN makes Adrian Peterson look like a rookie God or something and dumbass people buy into it.
Medford=complete dipshit. Cherry and tan? Are you fucking blind? Oh wait, you probably think those horrible quality pictures on google are accurate depictions of what they actually looked like (since you weren’t even alive then to see them and have never bothered acquiring actual games from that era).
The pants and helmet were the same color, made to go with each other…REAL red and gold (though more of a matted version of gold rather than the overly metallic shit they wear now). However, if you’ve ever actually seen the pants up close, you’ll see that they did actually have a slight shine to them…it was just a different sort of material that allowed actual COLOR to come through. The uniforms they have now are a fucking carbon copy of Boston College. You take the SF decal off and you can’t tell them apart.
And the 1980s and 1990’s were better than the current world. At the rate we’re going, this planet will be dead in 10 years or so. There’s practically nothing good left in the world. Pretty much everything was better back then. THAT is why we should go back to it. Because pretty much everything in the current world SUCKS and can’t hold a candle to shit from that era.
Tell me you all have read this….

FRED DEANS IN THE HALL OF FAME
Whats nuts is i built a niner franchise just the other night on madden and i brought allen over in a via trade for 2nd round pick and darrell jackson….
that would be off the hook to have jared alllen
Jared Allen,Alan Faneca,Lance briggs,Bernard Berrian,Possibly wearing red and Gold this year?………very Interesting.
I just have a quick draft question. what do u think about the ultra athletic, and versitle Devin Thomas from Michigan state? If he runs a good 4.4 40. at the combine. do u think he’d be a good fit at #39? also, who do u think has the best upside as a pro? James Hardy or Thomas?
I would suggest doing content marketing, let me explain?You can get a video professionally created for around $47.00 ? 97.00 (30-60 seconds) showing your quality desk drawer slide. You can even prove how easy it is to destruct your competitors and blast it around over 100 internet video sites for as little as $5.00 per site to be done manualy!You can get keyword research done for you professionally, identifying the keyword phrases that will get you a decent amount of search volum, yes with lower competing pages.
