I never said the Niners defense was good or great in this thread. I simply stated that they would be a top 10 D with a 7th ranked offense. The Niners ranked 13th in defense which is above average. In most of the free world however above avg is considered good.
The problem with Niner fans posting in the "How good is the 49ers defense thread"is if we arent the 1994 Niners then we suck. We have spoiled fans who have lofty unreasonable expectations.
With how s**tty our offense has been I am shocked that the Niners defense was able to finish with the 13th ranked unit. Which is why I couldnt understand how one could say we were a mess on D.
You bring up some good points but they are purely speculation. The only facts are that Dallas was awful last year and until proven otherwise on the field they will be widely considered a mess.
KRS - DENIAL keeps speculation the would be could be's whereas real knowedgable fans base arguments on factual data. Hell if we were like that then because we got a new good offensive coach and OC we are not in the bottom of the league in offense magically anymore. HAHAHAHAH
