I have fantasized that Jed York had decided that Kaepernick is not the answer and realizes that the only way to build a dynasty is to draft an elite quarterback so he is deliberately torpedoing the team in order to get that top 5 draft pick to draft the next Andrew Luck and set up the next 49ers dynasty. I know that is giving him way too much credit though

That depends on how many of these retirements are genuine, and how many are creating such a work environment that people are willing to take a year off to break their contracts.
And even then we won't KNOW how many of those retirements were fake, and how many were initially genuine but turned into lack of funds.
Edit: Aside from the usual "The Buck Stops Here" arguments, of course. In the 49ers defense, wasn't it only last year that ESPN had the 49ers pegged as one of the organizations best suited to win over the next five years?

I didn't think you could break contracts. Honestly, from what I know, these guys have no other option but to play for SF no matter what they want unless either SF gives them a release or hell freezes over. I think paragraph 16 of the CBA says this. They may not want to play for the 49'ers but they don't really have any other option outside of permanent retirement

You can't legally break a contract that way, but teams generally do release the player, without even going after the prorated portion of the signing bonus the players are legally obligated to return.
That said, if all these former 49ers suddenly show up on teams next year, I suspect the 49ers' lawyers will be busy.

Miami panthers game. Can't believe the second quarter challenge of a touchdown by Miami ended up with a touchback on review. Not sure I've seen that before.
Those that didn't see it, Miami picks Newton. First down run to the pylon was super close. Philbin challenges that it was a TD. Closer look shows runner lost possession of the ball a fraction of a second before it goes out of bound at the pylon. Ruling was touchback and panthers ball.

That's Miami just getting into regular season form. Wait until you see what kind of stuff happens to us in the regular season! Still Miami looked solid with the 1st stringers. Depth is a bit of concern though.
Panthers didn't look too hot, though. I'd be a little nervous if I was a fan of them.

Yeah, I know it is preseason and all, but the Eagles are looking good from top to bottom so far.

Tap the breaks on that "they look good" talk. Quick reminder that the 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in preseason.
I lol'd at people bitching about Suggs going after Bradford. His response was perfect, "If you want to run the read option with your starting quarterback that's had two knee surgeries, that's on you."
