Sources are saying that QB Kurt Warner is meeting with the 49ers early in the upcoming week. The Cardinals couldn’t sign the QB, where they offered him a new contract between the $10-$12 million dollars for about two years and a third year option. Warner has said that he would retire if the Cards couldn’t sign him to a new deal.
If Warner does sign with the 49ers, it will help them out a lot. Warner is a vet who can still play, but with good offensive weapons which the 49ers don’t have aside from Vernon Davis, who is still kind of growing/developing as a player and Frank Gore. The 49ers have Arnaz Battle and Isaac Bruce at the wide receiver position, but they’re not considered to be elite receivers (Bruce still has some left in the tank). Last year Battle had 24 receptions for 318 yards and no touchdowns. Nothing against Bruce, he was a great player with the Rams, but he can’t have the entire load on him. The 49ers need to get another WR to help him out. Last season, Bruce caught 61 passes for 835 yards and 7 touchdowns. The guy can still play and I think he could lure in his old teammate from the Rams days to throw him a few more touchdowns passes next season.
Also if the 49ers sign Warner, they will have a QB who can help develop the fallen star in San Francisco known as Alex Smith. Many believe that Alex Smith is a busted draft pick, but I think if Warner comes in, he can help the kid a lot. Warner is a great leader and Warner will be the role model Smith needs to help him get back on track. I wouldn’t give up on Smith now, you drafted him # 1, develop the kid. Try to salvage what you can.
What are the Cards doing? Do they really want to go to Matt Leinart next season? If it wasn’t for Warner, the Cards wouldn’t have made it to the Superbowl. They should do everything in their power to keep the guy. If they don’t, it will be another 60 years or so until they reach the Superbowl. I’ll tell you this, if Warner is gone, Fitz will be extremely mad and Boldin will be gone for sure.
