A good QB makes a good team great. You cannot win without a good QB -- unless you're the Baltimore Ravens. They are the one exception to the rule.
It's all on Alex's shoulders now. If he performs? We're in like flint. If he stumbles? Here comes another 8-8 finish.
The pieces are most certainly there. We have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball.
Time will tell.

yeah, but he actually was a pretty good quarterback for several years
between 96 and 2003, he actually had some pretty good seasons....

I agree, the qb makes all the difference. (the sayings actually, "We're in like Flynn) as in the Actor, Errol Flynn.) Cause he was smooth on the ladies...

He had a good year in 2002 when they won the Superbowl and he was good in 1999. The rest are fairly meh.

That defense was great and Johnson managed the games successfully. Our defense is good but far from "great." A good QB is a necessity unless you have an epic defense.

Was Deon Sanders covering Irvin in the 94 NFC championship game? If so did he shut him down? I dont really remember.

He also was heaping praise on Jerry Rice and said he wished he had followed JR's example as a tireless worker who never took time off trying to improve--he said that was why Rice is the best....

We were a crap team the last 7 years. No QB was going to make s**t happen with the 9ers.

A huge key to that anticipated success will be an improved OL...I like what I've seen in Singletary's coaching hires...Solari and now Ray Brown are just what the Dr ordered. We need a new RT and an OG...as a minimum. Another piece is better RB depth...love Gore and I believe Coffee will show next year why he was drafted. Still, we don't have a speed guy nor a power RB. I'd love to see us get both...because establishing a consistent running game will only help Alex make a lot more plays downfield to Crabtree, Morgan, Hill and Brandon Jones. It all works together...
Frank is not a power back?

No, I wouldn't consider him a power back. We've really struggled in short yardage situations. Raye relied heavily on the FB draw (Norris)/fake pitch to Gore.
