Guy deserves his own thread

[Pugger]

So what can you guys tell me about him besides the fact that he's short?

I think he's black

Not so common in GB. Aaron Brooks was a while ago

Hah! The Packers now have two former San Fran QBs to grill. Maybe a trade for Alex Smith in the works?

A misty-eyed Ted told everyone how it was his fault that VY failed...he didn't give Vince enough time to learn the position.

Then Seneca Wallace is hired after the preseason is over.

I post how Coleman had improved and will continue to improve. Three minutes later he is cut. Coincidence?

I post how Ted refuses to hire free agents and ten minutes later he hires Seneca Wallace. Coincidence?

No. Ted hates me and he hates black quarterbacks.

Except Seneca Wallace.

Wallace decided he didn't want to play in 49ers final preseason game. Harbaugh said he was told by Wallace he was going to retire. Wallace's agent later said He was not retiring. Now Wallace signs with the Packers. If he were a more significant player, I wonder if the 49ers would be charging the Packers with tampering.

Fun!!!

[Pugger]

Don't tell me we now have another vet QB who can't make up his mind about retiring!!

Waiting for "San Francisco picks up BJ Coleman" announcement...

Yes, that is pretty rich.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I really like this move. I would have been fine with Vince. Seneca Wallace best available, and better than BJ or Graham.

[Joemailman]

Fun!!!

Ni kidding!. Who knew that picking up a backup QB would be this interesting?

With now two former 49ers quarterbacks on the team, it’s clear GM Ted Thompson and head coach Mike McCarthy are going all-in for an opening day win against the 49ers. Wallace, however, might have additional incentive for wanting beat the 49ers after he ripped coach Jim Harbaugh for telling reporters Wallace had retired from the NFL when he really had not. According to Wallace, he had simply asked for and was granted his release after the quarterback realized he was only brought in to force backup Colt McCoy to take a paycut.

[KYPack]

I was hoping we'd finagle Colt McCoy out of this deal.

Thank God this happened. BJ is about 15 years from being an NFL QB.

[Tony Oday]

I think we need to go with no backup QB.

My money is on Harbaugh having trouble with the truth. He still won't admit that WR they just traded to the Chiefs had trouble with their offense and coaches. Reporters had the WR in trouble with the team last year and Harbaugh lashed out. Even after the trade, he refused to admit the pick hadn't worked out.

Wallace has been around long enough to know what was up. I put some stock in his claim that he was there to pressure McCoy into lowering his contract. Same with Packers kickers this camp.

Wallace's agent said he wasn't retiring the day after the news broke, making it seem like the 49ers broke the initial report.

This offseason just gets more and more bizaare.
