Our offense is ranked 29th....

Saints: #1 offense in the league
Patriots: #2 offense in the league
Cowboys: #3 offense in the league
Packers: #4 offense in the league
Colts: #7 offense in the league
Vikings:#8 offense in the league
Eagles: #10 offense in the league
Chargers: #11 offense in the league
Cardinals:#12 offense in the league
Bengals:#20 offense in the league

These stats prove that total yards have a significant influence in winning a game. We are ranked #29. You guys still think that there is no connection between total yards and winning teams?

you would also notice that all those teams have had the same offensive systems for a number of years. It takes time in the same system, knowing the plays in detail before elite status can be achieved.

There's no need to fear! Wonderlic is here!

Do you guys really need statistics to show how inept our offense is? Were u not watching the games? We have a minimum of 8 three-n-outs a game. At least a few fumbles and ints. Boatloads of sacks. Our third down percentage is thee worst in the league (which IMO makes us a bottom 5 offense).

We were stopped on 3rd or 4th and less then a yard numerous times. We can't get any kind of push on the O line. We can't get any kind of consistent pass protection.
We are lucky we have solid skill players (Walker, Crabs, VD, Gore, and even Morgan) that can bail us out when the team plays like s**t.

Smith is not the answer at QB. It should be apparent to all by now.

Well it isn't apparent to half the zoners and the organization plus the 9ers coaching staff think Smith is the starter going into next year. I would say based on his play and numbers Smith has improved and could be the future QB for us. I don't know since this is his 8th game as starter after 30 months of being out with injuries etc.

Agree. We need to pick our style of offense & go with it so we can become a btter offense in the league. Especially on 3rd downs!

We are only above the Bills, the Raiders and the Browns. That is horrible. It doesnt matter how many turnovers we get per game, we wont be able to win any games against a decent defense if we do not improve. I am very skeptical about bringing Jimmy back. I am excited about the fact that we will finally have a continuation of our offense this offseason, but not happy that it has to be Jimmy Raye calling the plays again.

Oh ya, what do the Bills, the Raiders, and the Browns all have in common with the 49ers? Bad quarterback play. Its not a coincidence.

You're not telling the whole story here.

We're ranked 29th in one category only and that's total yards per game. We're ranked 19th in total points per game. We're ranked 15th in total passing TDs and 20th in rushing TDs. We're tied for 17th in pass plays of 20 or more yards, 19th in pass plays of 40+ yards, 19th overall in QB rating (this with two different QBs). We're ranked 8th overall in yards per carry, 9th overall in rushes of 20+ yards, and 3rd overall in rushes of 40+ yards.

Can our offense use some more help? Absolutely. Is it the 29th worst offense in the league? Not by a long shot.

Forgot to add that we also have a top ten red zone offense.

That seems right. When we're able to throw the ball, we're unable to run the ball. When we're able to run the ball, we're unable to throw the ball.
