I do know that the 49er’s won’t be a better team next year. They may not be worse, but they had a great team put together. I don’t see them being able to improve, so they should strive to stay the same, with the benefit of a more mature QB this time.
The off-season can only hurt them. [/quote]
Do you even watch football?
Switching QB’s mid season, implementing a new offense mid season and somehow the offseason will hurt them?
Yeah all that time to work on it and get everyone on the same page plus having a more mature QB with experience will be detrimental to the team. LOL.
You can dislike a team all you want and be bitter because your team lost but saying things like your last post make you look like you gave no idea what you’re talking about.

Your team lost too.
What I was talking about was the talent in the team. The team is extremely talented and there is not much room for improvement. Are you saying their are glaring weaknesses on your team? I don’t see them.
I think your reading comprehension must suck. I was saying it’s hard for this to improve because it’s already so talented at virtually every position.
So let me get this strait, you were insulted that I said the 49ers are a very talented team and free agency and the trade market could only serve to hurt them? mmmk. [/quote]
My team can improve in a lot of areas:
- Rotational DE for Justin Smith and Ray McDonald.
- Rotational OLB for Ahmad Brook and Aldon Smith (season ending injury to Haralson was a big promlem)
John Clayton made a good point that the primary defensive players played 90% of the defensive snaps and that’s too much. They looked worn down to him in the playoffs.
The 49ers never developed any players or never had faith in Francois, Williams or Tukuafu.
-
Sopoaga is not a starting caliber NT. He has been blocked 1 on 1 more often this year. Your starting NT must demand a double team.
-
A deep threat at WR. Rookie AJ Jenkins never saw the field. Moss wasn’t used enough or is old. Can’t tell because he played so little.
-
Try to get a short yardage RB because they failed with Brandon Jacobs.
My team has 13 or 14 picks next year. They can get better by filling some of these holes. The rookies don’t have to start but take some snaps from the starters.
Kaep is good, but now there is a tape of him and he will have to improve. With his drive and Harbaugh as his coach, I think he will. [/quote]
Thank you for this post and talking to me like a human being.
I suppose there is room for improvement on any team, and clearly you know the needs of your team better than I do.
Clearly the defense did not make a good showing in the SB, so yeah there is room for improvement even though they were ranked #1 in many polls. I can see how worn down defense and a better bench situation can improve this. But the lines on both sides of the ball were strong all year long and that is a good situation to have.
I do think a deep threat WR can make this team even more lethal and personally I think Moss is done. Maybe not totally, he still has skills, but he has lost a step. I wouldn’t want him at this point in his career.
Overall, I would love to have the strength you guys have on the line on both sides of the ball. That is the main reason for the good run you guys had, me thinks. Without a strong line presence the back field cannot work.
Overall, the tweaks you talked about were pretty minor. That’s why I said there is not much room to go up and a lot of room to go down. But you also have a strong coaching staff… I don’t expect them to ‘Rex Ryan’ this team anytime soon.[/quote]
Let’s chat again when Atl comes to Candlestick for the last time next year.[/quote]
Should be a good game… We have to come out strong in the off season. We need desperately to improve our pass-rush. O-line is old and needs much improvement. We need a new running back, Turner is done-done. If we can get Gonzo back for one more year, that will solve the tight end issue.
We have a good core of players, but we need to improve our lines big time.
Interestingly, the mock drafts have us picking up Marcus Lattimore in the 3rd round for RB. I don’t know how I feel about that. When healthy there’s nobody better, but that leg injury was BAD. I don’t know if he will be ready and he’s injury prone. Of course, AP’s resurgence certainly gives me hope on that front.
