A Vision and the 49'ers


Oliver for Games Coordinator.  Oliver is choosing to run for this honor again at his school.  He designed this poster and did all the work on it himself. He even paid for some of the supplies.  He will have to give a speech in front of all the kids in the schoolyard this Friday. I hope to attend.

His brother had the knack of running and winning both times he campaigned for the gig.  His class has to frist designate him as their candidate and then the candidates run at large for the students body to vote for.  Last time Oliver tried he was not the choice of his class and knows that his road is uphill.  While it may not come as easy for him, Oliver knows that all he can do is the best he can, and regardless of the outcome we are very proud of him for trying, and working to this goal.

As for the 49'ers, it's important to remember that our young QB is a young QB, lacking the polish of Montana, Steve Young, John Brodie and Jeff Garcia. Is this his third year? Montana did not start until his third year. Unlike Kaepernick, Joe had a longer time to learn from his coaches and veteran QB Steve Deberg before being placed in the spotlight. He had more time to develop making accurate throws (placement, anticipation and timing) and to make good decisions that are necessary in crucial situations. Tebow does not have these abilities, yet.

Kaepernick, as Big Bob Cupp just said, simply showed what he did all year, the good and the bad.  The only difference- and no unknown factor is that the Seahawks defensive backs can catch. The last two playoff games for the Niners would have likely had game ending wins for the other teams (Packers, Panthers) if their defense had each made very catchable interceptions.

I am more saddened about the injuries that players suffered- possibly a broken ankle and a full ACL tear.  As for the seemingly crazy rant by the Seahawk DB, great plays are made by great players (like it or not).  Also, for the next two weeks and forever, I intend to avoid the desire to make this guy into the bad man.  Poor sport/poor winner, yes. No doubt there.

Keep it between the lines. Just like you're drawing up a poster board.
