Nate Davis may not be able to deconstruct the early work of Tolstoy, but no matter: he's excellent at throwing footballs-at least good enough to make the 49ers over Damon Huard.

I originally posted my outlook for the 53 man roster two weeks ago and a few surprise changes with Tredy Brushi retiring and Kevin O'Connell being cut. Also a few other players are back from injuries. So who do I think will make it? QB 3 Brady, Walter, Hoyer.
