Jim Tomsula might be the most unintentionally funny person in football.

Either way he is going to be smiling while the confetti is falling on him as he lifts the 6th Niners Super Bowl trophy above his head in their own stadium.

Edit: oh and btw that Bucky Brooks guy who wrote the article on Kaeperbro used the word "electric" or "electrifying" TWICE when describing him lol.

Well, early reports of multiple broken bones in Steve Smith's back. No wonder he's making a hit list.

I might as well start looking at draft candidates, but what's the word on this Chris Givens dude from STL Daez?

If you watch the clip of him treating Blake like a child before watching the clip of him getting smashed into a fine purple paste, in part by said child, it's hilarious.

Is it more or less hilarious than watching Scoobie Don't try to kick long FG's?

Wait, why did the Rams, a fucking WR talent starved franchise, trade away Givens for nothing? The fuck? This dude was like the only deep threat on the team. Of course he's classically misused by Jeff Fisher and will probably break out on the Ravens.

I don't get this fucking trainwreck of a franchise at all. It's like the only thing they know how to do is build a defensive line. Am I reading this right? We traded him for a fucking 7th rounder? Why the fuck did we even keep this guy in training camp then?

Givens gets open on deep routes and catches the ball, he's fast. I'd have to assume he doesn't get more use because he must not be a great route runner, but you know, he was on the Rams so I seriously doubt they know how to use receivers period.

Conditional 7th for 2017. People on Ravens boards saying STL tried out literally 12 WR's last week and didn't sign anyone, as evidence that this guy must suck if you need them so bad but got rid of him. We don't haveanydeep threat though, so something is better than nothing I guess. We probably aren't going anywhere anyway, but we had to IR a guy so the roster slot was there and he's dirt cheap and can return kicks.

I'm going to think it's the Rams wouldn't know WR talent if it bit them on the ass. Look at this team, they can't do anything right on offense. Givens had a stretch in his rookie year of like 5 straight 50+ yard reception games. Believe he had a hamstring problem in year 2 and of course our QB situation has been a fucking nightmare. They've never put him in the #1/2 receiver role so it's not like he's out there for many snaps. Dude was one of the only bright spots in preseason. I'm shocked honestly. They don't use him much, but he certainly has talent and is explosive. He had one of the only successful plays last week on an end around.

I still don't get it.

We actually did sign someone then put them on our practice squad, but beyond that this is the fucking problem. Our moronic staff thinks WR is our main problem and we're trying out fucking nobodies 4 weeks into the season. Maybe if those assholes would stop throwing fade passes to fucking Jared STONE HANDS Cook our WR's could make plays.

Unfuckingbelievable they think WR is the problem.
