"You have to recognize what these teams have done in the past, but the present and future are what I am looking at.
Terrible Offensive Line, holes in the defense, a quarterback who was drafted WAY, WAY to high, the wrong starter at runningback, and mediocre depth. Nolan will have this team winning in a couple of years but definately in the bottom 10 teams." - 8/13/2006
I am officially sitting down to a plate of Crow. I was wrong about the 49ers and the Jets. San Fran jumped 2 years ahead of where I thought they would be right now. I was correct about RB, and they corrected that and named Gore the starter. He was the difference for the 49ers this year. My only concerns for this team are the loss of Norv Turner and the loss of Antonio Bryant. Bryant is smug, over confident, and also the best WR this team had. But the strides they made last year should more than make up for the loss of Bryant. PREDICTION (Pre-draft) The 49ers have a much tougher schedule, and while they will do well in their own division they will struggle against their AFC opponents. 7-9 2nd in the NFC West behind Seahawks
