BTW, I also hate to burst anyone's bubble but teams don't make the Super Bowl without prior playoff experience. I'd like to take things one step at a time and I just pray for a return to the postseason.
A team full of players and coaches who have ZERO playoff experience does not make for a Super Bowl run.
like Arizona
Kurt Warner was arguably the biggest piece of that Arizona team and he played in 2 Super Bowls prior to that one. Edgerrin came on strong during the postseason that year and he, too, had a wealth of playoff experience. So to refute your argument, yes Zona had some experienced players. Not to mention Ken Whisenhunt won Pitt a Super Bowl as a coordinator Think before you post.
stop making excuses
wha like Baltimore
they were 8-8 just like Arizona the year before they went to the super bowl and they won it with Trent Dillhole
I wasn't making excuses at all, I was supporting my argument with facts. You said Zona had no playoff experience. I proved they did. That's all.
Yes, we can always bring up teams that have pulled off the nearly impossible. Yes, the Ravens won with Dilfer and without much playoff experience. But two things:
1. That's an aberration. It's not the norm. In fact, it almost never happens.
2. We all know the reason for that win was a smothering defense that was well on its way to being so good the year before ('99 BAL ranked 6th on D overall). We would need more offensive help, our D just isn't that amazing (although it can be very good).
I'm not making excuses, I'm simply stating that this team is not a Super Bowl contender and will not be next year. Are they a playoff contender? If all things in the offseason go well, I'd have to think they will be. But there's way too many question marks (a huge one being the QB position) to even think about the Niners getting to the big dance.
