49ers Find Some Gold in Braylon Edwards

The free agency moves these last couple of weeks have been plenty and exciting to watch except if you're a 49ers fan. The Rams have a main QB in Sam Bradford that looks like he will only get better, the Seahawks are giving Tavaris Jackson another shot at a starting role with Sidney Rice tagging along, and the Cardinals have gotten potential star Kevin Kolb as QB to throw to Larry Fitzgerald. What do the 49ers have? An good (not great) defense and an offense that depends solely on a guy that can't carry the whole team, Frank Gore. And that benefit gets taken away whenever "the mistake" is on the field. The bright side, though, might be on the way. Braylon Edwards has agreed to a one year deal worth $3.5 million.

While this is not a huge deal for the team, it helps (take away excuses from Alex Smith defenders i.e. the 49ers organization). It gives Smith two targets to miss, I mean throw to. Three if you count Michael Crabtree (ha ha ha). Edwards, though, is not going to make a big enough difference. He was good on the Jets alongside with Santonio Holmes but he wasn't a miracle worker. He'll keep us from being a pushover team (in the division) but that's about it. The biggest thing that the 49ers need to work on still is either finding a new QB or finding out if Colin Kaepernick is any good.

P.S. Sometimes you need to make fun of your own team and laugh at it a bit just to keep yourself from crying about how much they suck. We could've had Rodgers.
