why is QB not #1 on everyone's list? hahaha. im not a smith hater, but last year his QB rating was 81. That's not good. That's progress, but in terms of the whole league.. not good. Hopefully he can step it up this year.

#2- probably pass protection
#3 - offensive play calling
#4 - pass defense

Don't #2 and #3 have a huge impact on #1?
Therefore until we see what 49ers do with O-Line then we can judge QB

I don't know but its not Dmetric Evans.

The opposite holds true just as, if not more than. Strong QB play can be exclusive as demonstrated by Aaron Rodgers

From a coaching prospective I believe Raye was taking the long term approach. He started with the basics, and running between the tackles will be a 49er mainstay for years to come. I believe the off-tackle and sweeps will come this year as compliments to the base offense.

If you want to see what our offense will look like go back and look at the offense for the Chiefs when Priest Holmes was scoring 30+ TD's a year. It is the same offense. Like the Chiefs, and with the new OL additions, we have the OL that can run that offense. We didn't have this last year and the offense was still focusing on the building blocks.

I think you are going to see a lightyear like improvement this season. Our OL will become a strength not a weakness, and our skill positions are fantastic. Frankly, I think A.S. is perfect for this team right now. People knock on A.S. without ever looking at the undercurrent which explain his career to date.

This is A.S. second season in the same offense and you are going to see drastic improvement. This offense amplifies what A.S. does well and add some audibles, bootlegs and rollouts and you will see A.S. blossom. For me, if he doesn't have 3500+ yards, 30+ TD's this year I will be disappointed.

This is our year. There are no more excuses this season barring serious injury.

All teams have strengths and weaknesses; it's just a matter of the strengths outweighting the weaknesses.

Last season the team showed glimpses of it's strengths with explosive offensive plays made by VD, Gore & Crabtree. The defense stymied and laid a licking teams, look no further than the Indy, Chicago & Cards game.

Give the front office & coaching staff credit for addressing needs at position coaching and talent in offensive line and special teams.

But in keeping with the thread topic, the biggest weakness is game planning, conservative play calling when the team has a lead again good teams & mediocre QB play.

I agree

Uhm well the glaring weakness on this team and the only major one left now for us is the quarterback. Err I mean lack there of, of a quarterback.

Yep MS needs to improve as a hc. I wouldn't list him as a weakness yet. But he could be if we drop a few games at the start of the season.
