  Oregon's little known transfer QB blew away everyone at the East West Shriners Game. Chip Kelly coached at Oregon. A match made in heaven?

In the East West Shrine game, he went OFF, throwing 6-9 for 191 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in limited time to lead the West to victory.That includes the longest touchdown pass in Shrine game history, 93 yards to Purdue's Dann

  The San Francisco 49ers search for a defensive coordinator continues along, but there is an interesting tidbit about Mike Vrabel worth a note. Vrabel was offered the job, but turned it down to remain in Houston as linebackers coach.
  There has been speculation about whether or not Bill Belichick suggested Vrabel not take the job, and instead wait to take over for Romeo Crennel in Houston or an opportunity in New England. Albert Breer's weekend notebook says that Bill Belichick gave Vrabel a

• Efficiency metrics say Chip Kelly’s offense had no effect on his defense

  Using DVOA to break down the Eagles defensive performance reveals that the offensive pace didn’t have a measurable effect on the Eagles’ defensive performance. So don’t worry when Kelly brings tempo to San Francisco. There’s an abundance of narratives that follow Chip Kelly. Reporters inquired about many of these during his opening press conference but one of the narratives grew wings and took off since the San Francisco 49ers introduced Kelly as their new head coach

  Sunday, January 24th, 2016 edition of the Golden Nuggets, a daily compilation of San Francisco 49ers links from around the Internet. Well the San Francisco 49ers' offseason is rolling right along and the team has brought in an offensive coordinator, offensive line coach, linebackers coach and a special teams coordinator.

• Vernon Adams puts on show in Shrine Game

  24-01-2016 01:05
  
  Could the 49ers look at Oregon QB Vernon Adams? They visited with him this week during Shrine Game practice, and he shined during Saturday's game. It's only late January, but it is safe to say Vernon Adams is going to be getting some publicity over the next three months. The Oregon quarterback was the second quarterback in the Shrine Game for the West squad, and he made one heck of an impression. Adams was 6-of-9 for 191 yards and three touchdowns, along with two rushes for 25 yards. He set a Sh
