08:03 AM ET 05.08 | San Francisco lacks one rather important component in a minicamp that will feature running backs, fullbacks, wide receivers and tight ends this weekend. What they don't have, for now at least, is someone to throw them the ball. The three-day camp is for rookies only. So even though the 49ers have four quarterbacks on the roster, Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Josh Johnson and Scott Tolzien can't attend. The team did not take a passer in last month's draft nor did they sign one as an undrafted free agent. Coach Jim Harbaugh, of course, has been known to throw a pass or two (or seventy five) during practice, and trainer Nate Breske also is a former quarterback. The team also could sign a rookie passer to fill in this weekend.

Geez, tough rookie camp having Harbaugh as your practice QB. I know some teams (think Fins) that could still benefit from him taking snaps.

Right? How is this a story? I think Harbaugh can do a good facsimile of a QB.

Moss didn't seem to have a problem taking reps with him when he tried out. I think the rookies will be ok.

Sounds like the Vikings could use that kicker from the commercials right about now.

Did they even have a 3 day mini camp last year for rookies because of the CBA holdout - if not I think they should allow Kaepernick and Tolzien to attend, you know to make up for lost time.
