Hey everyone I may be new to posting on here but I've been following for the last 5 years and have been a niner fan since Montana's touchdown drive in sb23. I've grown really tired of waiting every year for almost 12 years for a great 49ers team to emerge. I really though we were close in the early 2000's but unfortunately that fell off and we've been a miserable pathetic excuse of a football team since. I really blame this on bad management and poor coaching. We haven't had a good coach since Mooch. As for the Yorks, well enough said. We finally have enough talent to contend for at least a playoff spot, but we are constantly being out coached every week. The players aren't prepared and it shows. This isn't a problem that's just happening now, it's been happening since Singletary blew the comback in 2008 against Arizona. He's a great motivator and that's it. He doesn't understand schemes and he hire's a guy who's 150 years old and is the most predictable coach I've ever seen. In my opinion they both should be fired! Smith shows flashes here and there, but he's not good enough to lead this team anywhere past a wildcard game. This team doesn't need to be blown up, it just needs a good qb and good coaches who know what the hell they're doing. That said I do believe a 9-4 record is possible and I really hope they can finish strong, but then what? The window to win is so short and I believe this team is pretty close to returning to a winning franchise, but not if they are led by those 3 losers in Singletary, Smith and Raye. I hate to say this and hopefully I'm proven wrong and the niners make the playoffs and win the superbowl, but I think what's best is to get rid of Singletary and Raye, sign Smith to a 1 year deal or sign a better qb in the offseason, draft a qb with their first pick and hire a new HC and OC. In 2-4 years the niners will be much better because of this. Unfortunately this means waiting another few years to be relevant again. In a perfect world the Yorks would sell the team back to Eddie D but that would be a miracle.
Sorry for the essay guys, this has been building for a long time. Let me know what you all think
excellent. i agree with everything here.
Thanks...finally something has been done and Raye is gone! Anything is better than him. I still think we should fire Sing and go for someone like Gruden to replace him.
