Which single aspect excluding the superbowl will you take from the season as a whole?

The one thing I will take is that we have bonafied franchise QB.

This was the biggest surprise for me, Kaepernick was known to be good but I was surprised he was that good.

1: Defensive problems (injuries may have been largely underestimated--especially J Smith's)
1a: Kaepernick being able to pass from the pocket effectively.

Not surprised, but the fact we got outcoached on O, D, and STs, plus our QB was not ready for the big time. Don't get me wrong, i love our team, Kap, JH, but our OC DC, and HC along wth Kap were completely outcoached or outplayed by baltimore. Again, not a surprise, but that is what I take away with me for the last two yrs. I don't want a different qb, HC, but I wouldn't be surprised to see roman or fangio gone. Hopefully they learned a lot too, but these two games , Giants and ravens just show how far JH , Kap et al have to go to make it to big time. Took flacco and john harbaugh 5 trips to playoffs to get SB win. Bet it takes us less. But our guys gotta learn from all their mistakes, and to do that I am in favor of roman helping during the week, but have JH call plays on Sun. For fangio, if we play a 3-4, blitz for crying out loud . That is the idea of the dang 3-4. You don't know where the 5th guys is coming from. On the 5 yd line that makes a big difference...just ask Kap...who if ever in that situation again, hopefully changes to a running play instead of pass into a balz to the walz all out blitz.

What a difference a great coach makes … and of course his best choice - capturing the Kaep!
