Careful what you ask. Personally I always felt that Barnes was improving and if you put someone competent next to him, he would be pretty decent. Hopen he starts and flops now that he's a whiner but....
I worry that their new fumble recovery specialist will grab fumbles caused by Donald...SONOFA!

He'll certainly play with a chip on his shoulder, hope our talent in D-line will outmaneuver that.

In all seriousness, if Barnes makes the 49er 53 and ends up playing well, it will be another indication that the Ram OL coaching was what we all have been guessing. Rams passing on OL in the draft is another.
 
Our old buddy Jim Thomas surfaces. Gee, I really miss his weekly Q&A's.

Reports: 49ers adding veteran offensive line help

Posted by Josh Alper on May 1, 2017

The 49ers drafted 10 players in Philadelphia and they traded for another, but none of those new arrivals to the roster play on the offensive line.

The team is reportedly going the veteran route to fill out that position group. Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that former Rams center Tim Barnes has signed with the team.

Barnes worked out for the team last week and should provide depth behind Jeremy Zuttah, who was acquired in a trade with the Ravens earlier in the offseason.

Gonna have to disagree here.Barnes in my opinion doesn't have the ability
to anchor like good centers do.Spends too much time in the back field.

I am really sorry 503,I didn't want it to have to come to this,
but I am gonna have to ask you to give back that
BFF bracelet I gave you.

When did The Rams pass on O'Line help ??

---That seems so sad , all over Tim Barnes. Last thing any Ram fan should want right now is for him to be is successful as a 9er.

---My thoughts last year was he was going much improved. Clearly he was not.
 
Umm....pretty much the entire draft starting with one named Forrest Lamp.

So your talking crap about Kromer ???

Who are you going to cut . I call BS !!!

Lamp was there in the 2nd rd for a reason.

Barnes was not signed for a reason as well. The 9er are going to start Tim Barnes ?? Good luck with that. That is what I call desperation .

To take it a further step, bubba, if Barnes is a backup with the Niners, doesn't that further reinforce the opinion held by the new staff?

Kind of a twofer regarding Barnes? Lol.
