Why didn't Mike Nolan sign a back up tackle in the offseason?

Estes was a project
Snyder is apparently is relagated to Guard
Clement is a piece of crap that we got in week 4
Jennings has been injury-prone since he came in the league

My best guess: He hates our QB's

An interesting fact

The colts have scored just two points more than the 49ers.
(So who has the better offense)

Well as I see it now that they are going to start Alex Smith, they will put Rattay on the trading block. My opinion is that Rattay only makes the team worse and smith will get better with time. But lately Brandon Loyd has been making up for all of those stupid mistakes Rattay has been making (Like the game against the eagles when Rattay threw the ball a little high but Loyd just put one arm up and caught it).

I think Rattay is an OK QB, maybe even a good* QB but the guy has no help here. Poor guy is getting hammered every start. He is the perfect backup, he can't win one for u but I rather see Rattay back up Alex than no arm Dorsey.

Seriously Dorsey is probably one of the most physically untalented people playing football. I know he a local kid and all but he is nothing more than a 3rd stringer on a good team.

Picket is an unknown, who intrigues me but being a Warrior fan I have seen my share of unknown college players fail.


*good: I am using that term very loosely.
