Like to gauge where we are after the bye week. Some of those teams played less then us and will catch up. I suspect our number overall will go down. Not a bunch, but I don't think we'll be 7 after Monday.

I wonder if these DIVA type of players will agree on "deduction per drop" on their contract.. uhmmm, let say....

- $2000 per simple drops

- $5000 on drops that woulda result a 1st down

- $20,000 on TD drops

- $50,000 on winning TD drops

while the refs performances will also get reviewed every Tuesday evening and gets deducted for blown calls and wrong calls...

wacha all think??

The first answer is silly because the QB they've got has already put in the best season since the Garcia era even in what most would consider a down year. He's also the first Niner QB to throw for over 400 yards with three TD's and no interceptions since Joe Montana. The Niners obviously want to go forward with Kaepernick at this point. I don't think Kaepernick's ability is the limiting factor this year. There may have been some of that last year with the lack of receivers.

I would just point out that Harbaugh is not a fool and he's probably been fashioning an offense he thinks fits the team at the time. In 2012, he had two different QB's and the offense was in a state of flux - running is the safest route. In 2013, he really didn't have what anyone would call a deep receiving corps. Most of the season, he had one good possession receiver and one good Tight end. You can't build a sophisticated passing game with that. He also had a QB who was clearly being forced to play in a style out of his comfort zone.

This year, Kaepernick gets another full off-season, has a deep group of good receivers, may have at least one legitimate speed threat on the outside. At this point, I'm going to take the coaches at their word that we'll see a bit of expansion in the passing game. I don't expect to see 4 receiver spreads or anything like that. But, I'll be surprised if we don't see some legitimate 3-receiver sets. 3 receivers, Davis and one running back could present challenges to defenses who have been gearing up to stop a run-first team.

Why would people around here be expecting the same set of play calling when the receiving corps has been beefed up to a level we haven't seen in many years?

Because Harbaugh has never drastically changed his game plans, at any level, regardless of available personnel.

At this point, the Niners are attempting an average of 33 passes a game compared to an average of 26 last season.

Im also wondering why we dont use Boldin in the slot position, considering he is an ABSOLUTE F*ING BEAST in that spot (and also since Sherman seems to struggle with defending the slot receiver) & why do we have S.Johnson as the 3rd or 4th receiver, when he is CLEARLY better than Craptree?? Seems like this coaching staff on offense doesnt know when or how to fully utilize the talent on our offense!!
